Riot Games has released some details on what League Of Legends players can expect in 2021. The big ticket is four new champions coming throughout the year, starting this month with the Ruined King himself. In the queue, three other new champions will also take part in the game, although their identity is still a bit of a secret.
Riot says that Viego the Ruined King, a jungle champion, is the first of the lot to come later this month. They also revealed his set of abilities and he sounds, as I suppose, royally not, very possessive. Viego’s “Sovereign’s Domination” ability temporarily controls an enemy champion he helps kill, giving him access to their items and abilities.
He also has a camouflaged Black Mist that you can see in the flashy movie that Riot released to announce his arrival. You can catch him actually using the Blade of the Destroyed King in a bit of Riot’s revealing video above.
After Viego, Riot hints at the three other new champions coming this year who are part of his story: a magical pest with a kind of sewing theme, an artillery wizard and a shooter. They will fill in the other league roles, so it does not matter how you have a new champion this year.
On the update side, they shared a bit more about their work around Dr. Upgrade Mundo’s looks and skills. If you want to say next year in which the champion starts messing around, you can vote it in your league client until January 19th. You can vote for Udyr, Shyvana, Nocturne, Skarner or Quinn.
