Snowdown Site
"A chill in the air; A handful of ice
A present for you; How lovely, how nice!
It’s round and it’s cold; Packed tight and frozen
A face full of frost for the unlucky chosen
The battle starts now; Put some cold in your fist
Snowdown arrives with an aerial twist
So throw on some gloves and step into the sun
This Snowdown’s about snowballs and friends having fun!"
To get you on the mood, let's take a look at The Spirit of Snowdown:
"Gather ‘round the fire, dear friends; settle in for a treatThere’s so much to tell; grab a chair, take a seat.
We hope you’re all cozy; our friends are here tooLook now, there’s Gnar, all bristly and blueIt’s snowing! He’s growing! Watch out for the ice!It’s Snowdown, little yordle: be cool, play nice!Always practice kindness, big fella, you don’t need a reasonLook! Even these guys are embracing the season!It’s a magical time, so don’t be a bratWe’re in this together yordle, human, and...what’s that?
Oh, it’s Bard, bundled up, doesn’t he look so snug?What’s this, you bring gifts, like warm cocoa in a mug?How thoughtful, how sweet - are those your little friends?But is any of this real, or are we just playing pretend?We must leave you now, Bard. Anything more to say?[Bard warbles incoherently]Same to you, dear wanderer! Have a happy snow day!
Who’s that there? So lovely, quite dashingAh it’s Syndra in splendid garb, not a bit of it clashingA mighty sorceress indeed: your power is stunningLook at them go, hah! There’s no use running
Her cold is too boldIt’s broken the moldThere’s no hope for you when her ice’s taken holdBut, it’s Snowdown, sweet Syndra: take a break from this violenceLet us savor this season of peace, love, and silence
But Ziggs still loves Snowdown, and he’s brought friends along.Hey! Please stop that now! You’re doing it wrong!Tis the season for peace, not for warThat’s not what all of these snowballs are for!
Stop fightingStop thrashingStop bickering and bashingYou’ll ruin everything with your constant harassing!Snowdown is ruined; it’s over, it’s done.
Then again, all this mayhem does look rather fun.Perhaps the true spirit of Snowdown is this,It’s bedlam and brawling, flinging magic and fists.So build up an ice fort! Let those snowballs take flight!Snowdown is here! Grab a friend, join the fight!

Legend of the Poro King Game Mode
The most noble Legend of the Poro King featured gamemode is returning this Snowdown and will be available for play through January 7th!
"The poros are back and they’re joining your side in Legend of the Poro King. Jumping into a match, you’ll see two poro pals flanking you in combat. Each one grants a summoner spell that will help you call forth and aid the majestic Poro King!
The Poro King is a mega-classy super minion that heals your team, regenerates mana, and deals AoE damage while handing out royal beatdowns to enemy towers on the Howling Abyss. Summon the mighty Poro King by landing Poro Toss ten times. The King will serve as a sieging dynamo for you until he is killed by the enemy team in a regicide most foul."Miss out on the fun last year? Let's revisit the LotPK trailer:
The five legacy poro icons (which include a unique poro skin in the Poro King Gamemode) will also be returning to the shop for 250 RP each!

A: Yep! They will own that Snowball icon once you throw it at them.
Q: Can I send my friend all four Snowball icons?
A: Yes. You can send them up to all four icons as long as they don’t own them already.
