Patch 9.18 will mark the return of the Star Guardians! Stil lead by Ahri, the magical girls will welcome a new member: Neeko! Sadly, Star Guardian Urgot won't be shipped with this patch, but brace yourselves people: if we're convincing enough, Riot might consider it. I mean, come on, can't you see that Star Guardian Urgot is THE feature that League of Legends needs?
