Smolder will be the first new champion in Season 14 of League of Legends. The little dragon has a cheeky line that you will only rarely hear. MyMMO reveals the details.
Who is Smolder? The little dragon is the newest ADC champion in League of Legends. Smolder was unveiled by Riot Games on January 4. He is the third dragon champion alongside Shyvana (half-dragon) and Aurelion Sol.
Smolder has caused quite a bit of criticism due to his human-like face
, as some players described. Riot Games responded promptly and adjusted the appearance of the dragon pup. However, Smolder’s uniqueness is not only reflected in the design but also in the lines he delivers during the game.
Smolder has an extremely rare, cheeky line
What does Smolder say? Sound designer from Riot, Daniel Kim, gave an exclusive insight into one of the champion’s voice lines, revealing a hidden Easter egg in the game.
Daniel Kim shared on X that Smolder only extremely rarely says a specific line. And that cheeky line (Taunt) is: Well my mom works for Riot and she’s going to ban you.
– which translates to: Well, my mom works for Riot, and she will ban you.

Daniel Kim expressed via X that it somehow seemed natural
to him for Smolder to exploit
the power
of his mother to intimidate
his opponents. Therefore, he thought it would fit.
The peculiarity of this line lies not only in its humorous threat but also in the extremely low probability of hearing it. The chance that Smolder utters this line is only 1 percent and can be considered an Easter egg
according to Daniel Kim.
The developer recalls the beginnings of this idea and emphasizes that the line was originally meant as a joke to make the team laugh. However, the positive response from the team led to the line actually making it into the game.
Smolder is expected to arrive on the live servers on February 7. However, there is still no official release date.
