It looks like Italian league of legends players will receiving the Gladiator Draven skin for free as celebration of the launch of the Italian localization of the game. Below you will find a rough translation of the original Italian article
Dear Summoners,
You see that Gladiator and defiant villain who sowed terror in the Arenas of Justice? He has just launched its sharp blades against you! Escape while you can!
Draven Gladiator is among us! To celebrate the launch of the game in our beloved language, he will be available for free via the store of the client in the coming weeks!Where you can see a preview of the new look? Clearly in PBE, or in our public server for the beta. The appearance will be released later in the Client which usually we all use. Players will look directly into their accont! For all those who do not have Draaaaaaaaaaven, along with the appearance will be unlocked same Draven! Which best specimen could celebrate our history if not a brave and bold gladiator as Draven?
Evocatori ed Evocatrici,
Benvenuti in League of Draaaaaaaaaaven!
i want my swedish glaical olaf ;(
stop this bullshit with free in this and free in that country
it's totally unfair
Would be nice to give one free skin to each country... People would at least stop bad mothing this...
And i am also sad, i dont have any local-skin and even would not have cuz of small country i am from...:D
I want my Canadian Volibear!
Your comment reminds me of that wierd Canadian Laser Bear in Age of Mythology.
ahh Lazer Bear. Protecting mother Canadia from danger, and the Norse
I'm Italian, Where is my Free skin?
About time. Lack of Italian localization puzzled me for ages. Now all they need is to bring the Spanish one to NA and BR.
You do know that BR speaks ... Portuguese, not spanish. I guess you are talking for all the South Americans player playing on BR servors.
Edit: Althoug US doesnt have officialy stated English has national language, I dont see Riot go into that debate by making such a move (that could have been done age ago by using our european ES localization)
Exactly. Argentina, Chile, Peru etc. all speak Spanish, so there's definitely a demand for it. I don't see why it's not on NA either. There are a lot of Spanish speakers in the US and Mexico (and others) that play LoL, so surely someone could get use out of it. Fun fact: The US has no official language, except in Puerto Rico, where it is Spanish. Thus you can infer that the US is a hispanophone country :P
The same could be said for the French localization and Quebec, but on a smaller scale.
I can speak for Arizona when I say if you're not Mexican, you're in the minority.
However English is not the official language at the federal level. Look up the Wiki on many states and you'll see that English is the official language on a state level. I'm all for keeping NA English to keep the incentive to speak the common tongue.
So, for Italian players, how can we get the skin ?
We have to download the game in italian (what if we prefer the original voices ? :x) ? When does it arrive ?
toad face draven?
It´s just a skin. You get a free karma skin if you get her nao..
it's not just a skin, it's a bitch move, just cuz you're italian you get something and the others don't, italy is out of money in a few years they won't be able to invest money into league meanwhile sweden and switzerland are rich give them free skins
