If you’re a League of Legends fan, you’ll have no doubt heard by now that the multiplayer game’s in for a brand-new champion this month. Viego, The Ruined King, has just been revealed as the latest character to join the League of Legends champions lineup as part of a livestream giving us a flavour of all that’s to come to Riot Games’ flagship MOBA game this year.

Introduced with the League of Legends 2021 cinematic Ruination – which you can check out below – Viego is a pretty intimidating jungler with a blade and crown that glow with an eerie, otherwordly blue-green hue. Riot describes his abilities as “mist-commanding, death-dominating”, and from what’s been revealed in his abilities rundown, it looks like we’ll see plenty of this commanding, ghostly nature injected into his playstyle.

Take Viego’s Passive, for example – called Sovereign’s Domination, it lets The Ruined King “temporarily possess enemy champions he helps kill, healing for a portion of their max health”. Gulp. While he’s possessing them, “Viego’s items, attacks, and non-ultimate abilities become those of his slain enemy’s, and he gains a free cast of his own ultimate, Heartbreaker.” Plus, during this time, he also received bonus movespeed when heading towards champion enemies.
