About the new leak
EDIT: The leak has been confirmed to be fake by a Rioter, and a post was made about it by Tormentula (who coincidentally commented on this post) which can be found here: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/E7mOieG3-that-leak-is-fake-confirmed-by-a-rioter The rest of this post doesn't really matter, I guess, so you might as well stop here :P As I'm sure most of you are aware, someone made a post on Reddit, claiming that the information contained within was a leak from Riot. He then went on to describe a new champion to be released in 7.12, under the name Nayuta, the Urgot and Evelynn reworks, and a series of new skins. The post was later removed for unknown reasons. Many have been led to believe that the leak is real, however I believe it is too early to believe or rule out anything. I personally have several doubts regarding this leak. First, the poster's name is "whyNayutawhy", which raises some red flags as the new champions name just so happens to be Nayuta. Another thing wrong with that champion is that he's Ionian, and I personally can't think of a single instance in which two big releases lived in the same region of Runeterra (Xayah and Rakan are an exception since they go they are cross-compatible) let alone three. The next is a more obvious one: We don't know the poster is lying. Sure, the last leak was real, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything for this one. It was also removed, which is a good sign for a lot of people, since it implies that Riot doesn't want anyone to see it. It could just as easily be someone who saw how much the last leak stirred the pot, and wanted to see if they could do it. They made it in a similar fashion to the first and even deleted it. This caused a lot of people to draw parallels and allowed the poster to gain their trust. I of course could be totally wrong, in fact I'd like to see a lot of these things come to fruition, but as I said before, it's just too early to judge.
came right after kindred, which was after
. Two bilgewater water champions were released in close proximity.
and
were released back to back as noxians (to be fair they're brothers)
and
were released (with lux inbetween them) both as black rose champions.
was reworked the same time
was around, both zaun and piltover champions (basically the same since zaun is just under piltover) if we're counting reworks into this formula.
