For anyone wondering - We've made some updates to Gragas’ ability names to remove "(Drunken)" in order to stay compliant with age ratings across various regions. Feel free to pour one out for him if desired, but don't worry, he still enjoys his brews even if he's being very

Last year we took out division promos for LoL. Curious now that we've seen a couple of season climbs without them what your takes are? Miss them? Seems about right? Wish we'd gone even further? Not adding a poll since interested in discussion and rationale more than numbers :)
