League of Legends Champions DragonCon 2010


Here are my friends and I pictured as champions from the mmo League of Legends! It is a game where you play 5v5 or 3v3 on a map against other players and get to own each other based on how fast you level up to 18, how many minions and opposing champions you kill, and what items you buy. We are (from the left) Garen, Ryze, Ezreal, and Singed. Dragoncon was a blast, and we loved dressing up; it was very exciting when people recognized our characters.

The user Arafel said the following on the LoL forums: "They all had pretty good costumes, except that a girl was Ryze and a guy was Ezreal." That gave us many lols because Ryze is actually a bald guy, and Ezreal is a really anime character that looks like a tween.

There were so many events to check out and we checked out only a fraction of them. I went to a Star Trek panel which included Ryker, La Forge, Troi, and Data. They were answering the crowd's questions but ended up ragging on each other mostly. They had a Trekkie costume contest, broke the record for most Trekkies in one place. We also checked out an after dark sexy costume contest which got pretty rowdy, and a WOW gameshow panel with special guest Oxhorn. Later that night there was a WOW danceparty social, but the ratio of girls to guys was terrible, and while there were people actually dancing it was very awkward for everyone involved. Or maybe just us.

There were numerous concerts and dj's. I got to meet Voltaire and Rogue of The Cruxshadows!

My favorite part of the trip was definitely being recognized, and also being asked to pose for photos. I'm a little concerned about my peeling paint, and hope some terrible photos don't surface where my paint just looks terrible. As one guy said "We'll fix it in post op." Yes, I really hope you do.

Some comments we received:
"You just made my life!"
"Singed, keep flinging."
