We already know that the identity of the next new League of Legends champion will soon be revealed. In fact, we even know his name will likely be Bel'Veth, and he'll be a new Void jungler. Nevertheless, we don't have much information about the next champion that will arrive in Riot Games' MOBA. Or at least we didn't until now.
Content creator Ryscu has just uploaded a video on his YouTube channel in which he claims to know who this new new champion will be, or rather this champion, for whom we will have to wait a few more weeks. And it looks like it will be a very particular type of ADC, as there aren't many in League of Legends .
A "water" type Yasuo
"It's going to be a melee ADC and it's going to be something like a 'Water Yasuo.' will have 3 different activations, and each activation will slightly change his hitbox," Ryscu explains in his video.
About this new champion, he also states the following: "He will probably play the same way as a Yasuo ADC, but will be a champion who is really meant to be played that way" . Of course, at the end of the video, he comments that these are leaks and that everything is subject to possible last minute changes .
What about Riot Games' roadmap?
In this year's champion blueprint, released a few months ago, Riot Games barely shared a few sentences about this champion. This is normal, because characters like Renata Glasc or the next Void jungler had not yet been released. What's interesting is that these official words dovetail with what we've seen (pictured above) and heard from Reav3 : "Here's a little teaser for a new, mysterious non-traditional champion of the path. from the bottom that will come out in the year."
The image is very particular and seems to represent a whirlpool - which could therefore refer to water - whirlwind intertwining what appear to be hands.
If we look at the literal words of Reav3 in English — who will be whipping out this year — we can assume that this is a clue. Riot Games likes to leave these kinds of little hints when teasing champions. For Vex, the studio had made a pun with the word "vexing" (vexing in English). By using the word Whip to speak of the exit of the champion, one can imagine that the rioteur refers to the weapon of the champion , which could therefore be a whip or something in this taste there. so this could well be his weapon. Though that implies he has a little more range than you would expect from a Yasuo-like champion.
