Champion Roadmap: April 2019[]

By Ryan 'Reav3' Mireles[1]

A New Civilization Emerges

Now let's talk about the next new champion we plan on releasing into the wild. This new champion will be a solo lane AD assassin. It's been a while, I know. There are very few of these types of champions in the game and we know a lot of you love playing them. This champion's arrival will send you deep into the jungles of Runeterra where a brand new faction, hidden from the rest of the world, will reveal itself. This assassin has powers which give them all the elements they need to use their surroundings in clever and innovative ways.

Trespassers beware and stay away from the walls, for nowhere is safe when you enter deep into these jungles.

  • Wall - Deals bonus damage to units with low health.
