Lore:
The Weaponmaster vindicator was in the middle of a friendly competition with his twin brother to see who was better at throwing axes/tridents aganist a villager, when their older brother told them they had a new mission; repel an horde of wither skeletons comming from a nether portal somewhere in the overworld, as, somehow, a legendary beast known as The Wither had appeared and someone had to deal with his army.
Didn't take long to repel the horde to the portal they came from, and soon enough they performing an Omniman reference by entering the wither skeleton's dimension to slay all of them in their own territory.
However, while the skeletons army was being neutralized, there is still the problem of who will deal with The Wither itself and how.

F.A.Q.
-Are mods bannable?
Mods are tagged by Riot Games as "Use at your own risk".
However, no bans have been recorded outside of Asian servers in more than 3 years, even between people who openly stream or record videos with custom skins, and some rioters have openly said that they kinda like the mods community, (even though they can't directly support it for obvious reasons).
From my point of view there is no real risk unless you play in a server from Asia.
Important to mention that hack-skins (Using mods to change a champion's default skin to one of his official skins) are NOT allowed.
-I want to try this mod but I never installed mods and don't know how. What do I do?
Visit this page to see installation instructions.
-I want to get into mod-making myself. How can I begin? Do I need previous experience in something?
You can learn modding even if you don't have any experience in anything related with modeling, texturing, etc. It just demands time and pacience, and don't hestiate in asking for help to other members of the community if you get stuck and can't get a solution to a problem in any tutorial.
Follow the community tutorials in your first steps to get the bases and from there is just keep going and learning.
