The teaser video for Kayn, the new champion in League of Legends, has been released. The release of patch 7.14 is on Wednesday.
The new patch 7.14 is expected on Wednesday, July 12. Due to the preparation for the update, the servers will be unavailable for several hours. The update introduces the new champion Kayn, who can even leave the map with one of his abilities. The teaser video now presents the new champion.
Kayn can go through walls in patch 7.14
About two weeks ago, the first information about Kayn, the new champion in League of Legends, emerged. A video leak of various abilities of the new character piqued the fans’ curiosity, as he appears in two different forms. Shortly after the leak, Riot then submitted the official announcement of Kayn and Rhaast and presented the abilities.
What is clear: These two characters, paired in one champion, bring variety to the Summoner’s Rift.
Other champions in League of Legends can teleport over short distances or bypass walls in other ways. Kayn goes “one step further” and can even leave the Summoner’s Rift – if only temporarily. His E ability “Shadow Step” allows him to walk through walls. This includes the outer walls of the LoL maps.
E – Shadow Step: Kayn temporarily gains increased movement speed and can walk through walls for a few moments. Upon entering a wall, he heals a bit and the duration of Shadow Step is significantly extended. If Kayn is in combat with enemy champions, the duration is not extended.
The entire ability kit sounds promising and was actually considered typical jungler abilities by Riot. However, players are already trying to figure out builds that make Kayn useful on the top lane as well.
Which form the new champion takes, apparently depends on how hungry you are for kills. If you kill a melee bruiser, the Darkin role takes over. If a soft carry falls victim to you, the Shadow Assassin emerges.
We present all abilities of Kayn and Rhaast here.
LoL Patch 7.14 – Patch Notes – Release on Wednesday
In the new Patch 7.14 for League of Legends, alongside Kayn and Rhaast, we expect bug fixes and balance updates for some champions. As Riot has now explained, the new patch will hit the servers on Wednesday (July 12).
So far, there are no patch notes yet, but we expect them soon and will report on it.
Due to this patch, the LoL servers will be unavailable from around 10:30 AM German time for three hours. Games that are still running at that time will end in a draw.
