League of Legends’ next new champion (after the whimsical support that may have been teased in a tweet earlier today) will be “a solo lane AD assassin.” In a champion roadmap released this evening, lead champion producer Ryan ‘Reav3’ Mireles offered a hint at the new character.
Details are unsurprisingly scarce at this point, but we can glean a little from Reav3’s descriptions. He says that “the new champion’s arrival will send you deep into the jungles on Runeterra where a brand new faction, hidden from the world, will reveal itself.” That’s an interesting insight into wider League of Legends’ lore, and the image at the top of this article could provide a little more information – it depicts a bunch of what look like jungle-dwelling people watching what looks like a hextech bulldozer.
Beyond that, there’s a small hint as to what the character will actually do. Reav3 says that “this assassin has powers which give them all the elements they need to use their surroundings in clever and innovative ways.”
