In the livestream for the 10th anniversary, Riot Games announced some new games set in the universe of League of Legends. But there are also new features for the MOBA itself, including a new champion.
Who is the new champion? As players have already correctly speculated, Senna will be the new champion in League of Legends.
She is expected to become a “Support Marksman”, thereby uniting both play styles to some extent. Senna uses a large rifle for her attacks and has about the range of Ashe. Nevertheless, her main focus lies in the support role.
When will Senna be released? The new champion Senna is set to hit the test servers on October 29. The official release is planned for November 10.
Champion that players have long anticipated
Who is Senna? Senna was Lucian’s wife, and together they possessed twin relic weapons with which they fought the evil in Runeterra, the world of LoL.
They also faced the horrors of the Shadow Isles, but Thresh cunningly managed to turn the battle. The Chain Warden captured Senna’s soul in his lantern.
How does Senna return? In a new trailer, we can follow an exciting battle between Lucian and Thresh. The marksman succeeds in destroying Thresh’s lantern.
This frees Senna from the grasp of the Chain Warden while simultaneously allowing her to take a precise shot to protect her beloved from an attack by Thresh.
What skills does Senna have? There is still no precise information about her abilities. However, the trailer provides a glimpse of possible skills. For example, she might create a shield as a protective barrier with a shot aimed at an allied champion.
However, Senna is not expected to be the only new feature that League of Legends will introduce in the coming weeks.
Changes to the Summoner’s Rift and new games
What else is changing in LoL? On October 22, the new update “Rise of the Elements” will be released on the Public Beta Environment (PBE). This update is expected to make one of the most significant changes to the Summoner’s Rift in many years:
- The elemental dragons are expected to influence the terrain of the map. For example, killing the Ocean Dragon could cause the grass on the map to spread and provide more hiding spots, while the Fire Dragon burns down grass and walls.
- The dragons will be generally adjusted, especially in terms of buffs for players.
- There will be new spots in the jungle with grass for hiding and ambushes.
- In the top and bot lanes, there will be new niches where one can also hide.
These changes are expected to be implemented in the live game on November 21.
