#Akira Rajin - O Deus do Trovão - Print ...

So I saw that a gaming page had shared this. I checked in S@20 to see if anything was up but nothing. Are we getting a new champ? Should i board the hype train?

The gaming page also claims that: "So! For those who think that the image of the raijin (possibly will be raijin instead of rajin) is fake. We have more confirmations, however no absolute certainty! Raijin can come to the pbe in cycle 7.2! Next to a possible new skin for the pantheon similar to the theme of the skin of the azir! Warning: everything was found on reddit! We're just going over!"

I'm like... 100% sure that's fake. As much as I wish it was real, Riot would never let a champ get leaked like this. I don't believe they would use that name, I don't believe the title and his bio would be written a lot better than that.

i dont believe that it is actually real, I just found it and posted it here, since most "accidental" pre-releases dont come with a splash art.

It's a shame though, he looks like he'd be an awesome champ.

Probably not, I highly doubt they'd put off a support Champion even longer, and considering they've been focusing on support a lot lately.

Rito- I guess you really wanted a support champion.... Also Rito- It would be a shame if.... Also also Rito- ...we realeased a midlaner... ... ...

I thought Rajin was in Smite?

TheDelightedDec 30, 20161 votes

So is wukong and many other god like figures. You cant really call dibs in cultural related stuff :P

Smites a game about gods, deities, higher beings, etc. Raijin is the Japanese god of thunder who protects the Dharma. So he fits well into a game like that

Or it looks like a new Ryze skin, if it isn´t a new champion Draven

Raijin is too common a name for one of Riots champions there are too many characters across different games books films etc that are named Raijin and are associated with being a Thunder God. Also I think Riot doesn't tend to do many God type champions or have any that are actually titled as a God let alone have it in their name.

That being said I'm not opposed to this idea at all and I would love it if this came true

How about wukong?

Jinx? Ashe? Lux? Caitlyn? Ekko? Since when do they care about how common a name is?

Hovering HentaiFeb 11, 20171 votes

Jinx - name given to many female characters causing chaos, most prevalent being Jinx from DC comics Ashe - stick an "e" on the end of Ash Lux - fairly certain this is rare if not unique Caitlyn - Common name in books, movies, games and in real life Ekko - never seen this before league

Raijin - God of lightning and storm in shinto religion,

character in smite and background character in Dota2 lore

The fact that SMITE a pretty popular game alongside league already has a thunder guy called Raijin is pretty evident that league is not gonna do the same

Raijin, big thunder guy is too generic for league to introduce

TerozuFeb 11, 20171 votes

Lux Cassidy, Lux Lisbon, Lux (Tron), Lux Arcadia, all of which came first, it is also a generic name you can get from hitting random in Pokemon for the player character, and many square enix names have it as part of their random name roster in games such as Final Fantasy Tactics.

Ashe is the feminine of Ash, in fact the whole, rightful queen in a 3 way war is basically taken from final fantasy 12, Princess Ashe, who's best weapon is a bow, with magic on the side, just like our Ashe, although FF12's is fire based.

Ekko, Echo I don't even need to say anymore for this, it's literally just an alternate spelling.

Jinx is a fairly common name in fiction, such as L'il Jinx(Archie Comics), Jinx from G.I.Joe, Jerry(T&J) was originally named jinx, and more.

Caitlyn is as you said, extremely common.

Oh and they have wukong, same as smite.

I don't know how nobody has noticed it......But in summoners rift, there are tiny balls of lighting arcs that pop up here and there......I'm pretty sure it's an Easter egg for Rajin.......Usually I see these faintly where wards used to be I think and they keep flickering.......I couldn't actually get an image of it. But has anyone else noticed it?

By all means, do tell me where you saw spanish like that before, because, i haven't, and i live right next door to the spanish. Maybe i have been deceived all my life and, deep down, i was actually talking spanish instead of portuguese like i thought i was.
