And Swain says the "girl who came back" line, like he does to Kassadin. Seems pretty heavy-handed that it's Kass's daughter.

Let's hope the void left enough from her to be waifu material. :3

Implying Rek’Sai isn’t?

Actually no, there can be more than one waifu from the void, you know?

Shouldnt ur 1st hope be that she looks legal (had to add that for people that try to justify zoe)

Ariel the Cruel3 votes

There doesn't have to be anything left at all. It's the internet. Someone will rule 34 her.

Splision1 votes

I could be wrong but look at what was added with the edit; "...the R ability will be able to one shot other void creatures...". So either Kassadin's daughter has been corrupted to the point that she appears too monsterous to even be considered corrupted, or the new champion is a voidling.

... dude... you REALLY think that the tooltip is real and what they say about one shot void creatures is real as well? No way, its a joke.

And anyways, they might be talking about the herald and other creatures, not that the new champion is a void creature.

Splision1 votes

I never talked about the tooltip. I talked about the comment the rioter left behind which is corroborated by the teaser in the video. I definitely hope that tooltip is fake, especially with that last passive (I ain't got that type of BE to spend).

It's true that the phrasing by the rioter could have been a mistake, but as it is used in the comment the rioter is stating that next champ is a voidling. I'm not saying that it is I'm just saying that based on the semantics of that phrase. If the intended semantics were as you stated then they would (or at least should) use a phrase along the lines of, "This champions R ability will be able to one shot Herald and other void creatures (including Baron)...".

Any chance Riot just make a cool designed champ that doesn't have something new to league each time? You know who is one of the most fun champs to play? Garen and look at his kit.

"next frontier of gameplay in League of Legend" - Like auto killing the jungle, a inescapable ult, due champs, walking through walls, buying items outside of base?

I love their designs and the 2016 champs were all fantastic in my view, 2017, not so much.

Chembaron Yamada7 votes

Garen one of the most fun champions to play? ..... You are kidding, right?

Ariel the Cruel5 votes

Wonderful thing about opinions: Everyone's' is slightly unique.

And equally wrong if it’s not my own.

You saying they should make a champ that doesn't bring anything new to the game? In a game that's about to get it's 140th champ? Ha, that's funny.

They have to innovate with these champs to keep the game fresh & make each champ feel like their own character.

If you're not a fan of the recent champs, that's fine. You don't have to play them. Just go play Garen & the champs you do like.

Jaspers3 votes

I understand that. Maybe not as simplistic as Garen but I'd say some of the best new kits created in the last few years have been reworked champs. I would say Xayah and Rakan on their own are both great champ designs with kits that add 'nothing new' so to speak. Xayah is an adc, just leaves things on the ground. Rakan has lost of movement and CC. Complicated game changing things don't make a champ with special things to keep the game interesting, they just have to make the champ fun. Rakan is very fun to play without Xayah.

Chembaron Yamada2 votes

Xayah and Rakan are a bad example. They can share their recall animation, one starts it and the other can join in the last second.

So they add something new to the game as well.

SociopathFriend2 votes

The pulling the feathers back bit is absolutely new- who else has an ability like that?

CurlyCrusader2 votes

Talon.

Unchimely2 votes

I don’t remember talons blades sticking in the ground and him casting to recall and root, do you?

GreenLore1 votes

I'd say in Rakans case the uniqueness comes more from his playstyle as he is essentially a support with an assassin playstyle,something that no other support in the entire game has. Also Xayah laying her feathers on the ground and being able to recall them all at once is rather unique.

Not to mention that they are the only 2 champs with inbuilt synergy.

Sure they don't introduce some major new mechanic(like Zoes spellthief,Ornns ability to make his own items or Kayns transformation),but they,like all other new champs(ivern jungling without killing,Camilles no-escapezone&physical shield,kleds 2 healthbars,etc.),still introduce some new mechanics.

GreenLore4 votes

But Garen does bring something unique to the game with his "villain"-mechanic...

Malicious Fury3 votes

Okay. I'll play along.

Passive #5: Every time you take champion damage that would otherwise kill you, instantly regain 50% of your maximum health. (1 second cooldown)

Mhihnj5 votes

passive #6, I deserve challenger: Every time you die, raise your league rank by 1 division and lower your opponents' rank by 1 division.

Carach Angren3 votes

Jeez, guys, are you really serious when you're talking about the "one shot baron" thing ?

If so, that's dangerous to be that credulous...

I think they are kidding because the imgur link was all fake things. They arent gonna make a champion use blue essence in game

"One shot baron"

wat

EDIT: OH THANK GOODNESS, it's a joke.

Stars Shaper2 votes

Riot killing all their meme have forced them to make this champion a meme even before the reveal xD

Bultz2 votes

Idk if that's serious about them killing baron in one shot, cause if it is, Riot would officially be the most retarded game designer to exist. I am really hoping that is a joke, because a free baron buff whenever you want it is a load of bullshit.

The fact that I can even imagine them doing that and actually let a champion 1 hit baron says a lot about riots balance team.

Chembaron Yamada7 votes

It is so obviously a joke, that you thought even for a millisecond it could be serious tells more about you than Riot, tbh. :/

Chromatic Eagle1 votes

Have you seen Zoe? Wouldn’t blame Riot for trying to top themselves.

Ariel the Cruel5 votes

R: Void call Launches a void projectile in target direction dealing 100/200/300 true damage. This increases by 50 for every minion and small jungle monster hit, 100 for every super minion and large jungle monster hit, 200 for every dragon hit, 250 for every champion hit, 1000 for hitting a void champion. If it hits Harold or Baron, the projectile is removed and they are immediately returned to the void. Each target damaged increases this attack's range by 20. Time spent inside inside terrain does not count towards Void Call's max range. The Void Call projectile is invisible until it damages a target or passes through terrain.

Base range: 1000. Cooldown: 120/60/30

Your joking right. They are letting Zoe 1 hit people without so much as flinching and you think they wouldn't let a new champion 1 hit baron. You must be new around here.

Chembaron Yamada6 votes

Memes aside, yeah, it's absolutely obvious for everyone that it is a joke.

https://m.imgur.com/WlEPKPZ He posted that the champ has 4 passives as their passive alone, with names like Passive Aggressive and Counterplay Caffeine. He says that the champ gets a free stopwatch with every summoner spell cast.

What does someone have to do so you get the joke? ^^ You are salty, we get it. But don't even try to pretend that it would be possible they were serious here, please.

HalfTangible1 votes

I took it as a "there's no way I understood that correctly" until I actually clicked and saw the passives.

HalfTangible2 votes

1 shotting Baron is a completely different thing from 1 shotting your enemy's midlaner.

The ability to do the former all but guarantees victory just because of how valuable Baron is, the latter (which is difficult to set up anyway) does not.

ModAcademy Kayn1 votes

Now, just saying, but technically he doesn't say that it can one shot other void creatures exclusively. Not sure if the effect means that it only does it against Baron and Rift Herald, but an Ult that can oneshot anyone, technically one shots void creatures.

Lios Ashenblade1 votes

please let it be a skill shot and not another freaking stealth champion

ChaosThief1 votes

Alright, I think that entire post is just a meme, not entirely sure, but pretty sure; the little bolt thing from the wall though isn't.

Being able to one shot rift herald and baron, not to mention the possibility of other void champs, would be just a liiiiittle bit broken.

As you can see, the game has way more male champions than female, so it is ok for me that the next marksman is going to be a woman. We could get several females in a row now and wouldn't even come close to even out the difference here (almost 40 more males than females).

Killaburn1 votes

eve,tk and noc are gender neutral too if you ask me. over all, nice work.

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

Yeah, probably right. Just can't help it to see Eve as a lady and therefore dragged the other demons along. ^^

But well, the point still stands, way more male champs in the roster than females.

Ahri Body Pillow1 votes

Just saying, Riot has assigned all of those "neutral" champs male pronouns, with the exception of Kindred.

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

Fair enough, I just put them in not specified to show that even in the best case scenario (when I leave these out since their lore makes their gender debatable) we got alot more males.

If we count these in, the gap just gets even wider. Which is one of the reasons why I personally just created female champion concepts til now (even if I would like to try a male).

Some regions are especially hard struck here.

The Void just has 1 female right now, the new champ will be the second. Zaun has 12 champions in total, but just 2 of them are female (Janna and Jinx).

GreenLore1 votes

But isn't that kinda BBAGZs point? We've got almost twice as many male champs in the game than female champs(and most of the gender neutral champs have at least male voices,so it is easy to see them as male,heck Fiddlesticks is actually male in his new lore,as he is the spirit of a deceased man that haunts a scarecrow),yet we do have more female adcs than male ones. This means that at least on a percental basis we've got a big amount of female champs as adcs,as ~20% of the female champs are adcs,while not even 10% of the male chams qualify as adcs.

Though I agree that we need more female champs in general and I don't really have a problem with the next champ being a female ADC,I just wish they would introduce more female champs in other classes(I mean come on,we only have 3 female tanks)

Didn't even realize it was a joke till the 4th passive that said 400 blue essence per game. Then I thought to myself, Riot might actually do that...
