For the love of all that is holy...

It's BLATANTLY OBVIOUS that Riven fucking killed the Elder. Was it murder? I wouldn't say that. I sure as hell don't think it was a 1v1 fight though. She was part of an INVASION FORCE going through Ionia slaughtering people left and right for Noxion Glory. The Elder was just one more person she went Slap-Chop on before Singed betrayed her and she realized she was on the wrong end of things.

Her Ult gets called out as a Wind Blade by the guys who specializes in Wind-based Sword techniques. It's a fucking Wind Blade. No Red Herrings here unless Rito decides to do some more retconning. Riven Killed the Elder, left the body, Yasuo got blamed. Simple.

As for the orginal intent of this discussion before the Riven Fanboys took over... While "The Hunt is On!" and "Battle for Freljord!" are both really awesome in their own respects, the fact that this offers up a major buff to the victor is not a great thing balance wise; even more so since Rengar's rework made his Bonetooth Necklace a part of his passive and have no risk involved in the stacking. Rengar can literally feed his fat cat ass off and he'll not lose a stack for it. The old Necklace system wasn't great mind you, but at least with the Risk/Reward aspect of the stacks with that, The Hunt is On! gave Rengar a reason to care beyond not letting Kha'Zix get 1 up on him with that 4th Evolution point. And Kha'zix? He can take it or leave it. Q, W, E. He doesn't need a point for his ult because his Evolved Ultimate is worthless.

They're both in line for the Assassin Update, so hopefully Rito will address this disparity that Rengar's old rework caused.Maybe we'll get a reason to evolve Kha's Ultimate. Maybe we'll get Stack Loss for the Bonetooh Necklace Passive. We'll just have to wait and see.

As for other such events....Well to be frank I really don't want to see more, beyond maybe what they hve in place with like Volibear & Zilean or Cait/vt & Jinx Little things are enough. Bigger, buff-granting events just throw the game into a bit of a clusterfuck. Lord knows it does for a Rango/Kha'zix match.
