This year, a new supporter will be released in League of Legends , which is supposed to be particularly effective on a duo lane. We tell you what we already know about the new champion in LoL.
The champion pool of League of Legends is regularly filled with new characters. They can be categorized into tanks, ranged fighters, melee fighters, mages, assassins, or supporters. As champion designer RiotMeddler stated in the forum, League of Legends is set to receive a new supporter this year, who will demonstrate their strengths in traditional gameplay.
Best on the Duo-Lane
A traditional style supporter focuses on helping allies and keeping enemies at bay. Dealing a lot of damage is not one of their tasks. In the forum thread, there were complaints that Meddler was not clear enough. He stated that the champion “should work well with a traditional support playstyle.”
It sounded as if the champion was not designed for this role, but could function well in the position.
Meddler then made it clear again that the newcomer in LoL is primarily played on double lanes and will not be as effective as a champion on a solo lane. Supporting an ally is therefore the focus of his kit. Unlike champions like Malzahar or Zyra, who tend to deal more damage on the bot lane rather than strengthen their allies.
So far, it is unclear whether this mysterious champion will be the next release or will be added later this year.
Would you like a traditional supporter, or do you prefer more damage on the bot lane?
