Yesterday we were treated, or terrified depending how you want
to look at it, to learn about an ancient being that appears during times of war
across many different eras in many different locations. Does this mean we will
be seeing a new champion soon? Probably, although it may not be the recently
leaked Gun Templar but someone else. This new champion from what has been
released has a winged humanoid figure, wields a jagged blade, and always
appears to help the underdogs. Relics noting his presence have been seen in Demacia,
Noxus, Ionia, and the Freljord with books noting him in the libraries of
Piltover. The most interesting fact about him so far is that he always comes to
help the underdog fight to victory and vanishing right after.
Although I don’t know who he is I can say he sounds really
cool. After reading his story it got me thinking about this new figure and why
he would be so exciting. Either we have an immortal being or a time traveler on
our hands who shows up to help those in need. By the look of the pictures seen
in the teaser this being might love chaos and that’s his motivation. Until we
find out more about him in the future we can’t be sure who he is or even where
he’s from.
The announcement of this new champion was really cool not
just because “OMGNEWTHINGS” but because it shows a cool view into how all the
new champions might be released. This was a pretty cool teaser to watch unfold
from start to where we are now. Riot is
creating a great buzz on all forms of social media as well as the forums with
this announcement. I hope we are in for more lore behind the champions and the
areas of Runeterra. Looking at the map the southeast area of the map is largely
unexplored and not extremely fleshed out so it could be in for some love. Although
continuing with Riot creating these stories behind all the champions it may
make champion releases slow down a bit at this point in the game with over one-hundred
champions that’s not a big deal. The ability to create these complex stories
behind the upcoming champions and features just shows how deep the stories can become so much deeper.
All I know is I’m pretty excited for whatever secrets Riot
has in store!
