This event is about confrontation of Rengar against Kha’Zix (two champions who is often used during lol elo boosting) and the only easter egg that has serious gameplay impact.
Requirements for “The Hunt Is On!” to be started:

Rengar‘s reasons and reward:
- Rengar should take part in Kha’Zix slain (assist counts) to become the ultimate hunter.
- Kha’Zix the only beast who have escaped Rengar according to the lore story.
If Rengar reach his goal first Bonetooth Necklace (unique item in Rengar‘s trinket slot) is replaced with an item called Head of Kha’Zix. It provides advantages of full stacked Bonetooth Necklace and increases Rengar‘s vision in the bushes.
Head of Kha’Zix features:

THE BATTLE FOR FRELJORD
There are three champions in this event who confront each other for the Queen of the Freljord title: Ashe, Sejuani and Lissandra. Main reason of this event according to lore is that each of them want to rule Freljord but have different views on how this should be done.

How someone even wondered to wait 30 seconds after win on Howling Abyss with Liss? :X
Philosopher’s Stone i miss you so much :'(
Just won Kha as Rengar >:E
This little bath duck is nice thing, never seen it in real game. Didn’t notice this suicidal frog either, seems like there are really many hidden secrets in league. Developers really love their game, i love this attention to the details from them. New summoner’s rift is awesome, really like how this maps look like.
I love Poros, that’s nice idea like bringing Pandas in World of Warcraft universe :)
They are nice with mustache, lold
If you kill braum using kog’maw , you’ll see braum’s corpse flopping like a fish for about 1.5 seconds after death.
OMG, that’s all really funny. But don’t those mini-quests like Kha’Zix and Rengar have doesn’t affect the balance? Or these mini-quests don’t work in the ranking queue? I’m just thinking about that OP Kha’Zix wich’s EVERY ability is evolved. Oh my gosh. That is a really strange quest.
And i really want to shake a hand to those developers who made these fantastic, hilarious and just great bonuses in their games. They bring the soul into the game.
kek, developers really know what we, players, need! These easter eggs are hilarious, and I really love how greatly they fit all of them into a game!
There is suicider frog on the new map. Looks violent but funny :(
Google it :D
It’s on the red side (right part of the map). It respawns on the first minutes.
