By doing away with the character entirely, Riot could come down on the right side of this. Instead of sticking their fingers in their ears and pretending there isn't a problem, this is an opportunity for the company to show it actually cares about its players. It's an opportunity for them to forgo a few million on top of their billions, and to actually help soothe harm done to a real person. It's also an opportunity for them to retire their abhorrent marketing strategy for Seraphine, which would do a lot to garner goodwill and help win back people they might have alienated. Sure, it's the path of least profit, meaning that they likely won't do any of this. However, from the perspective of moral imperative, it's the only right course of action to t

Karma is an interesting case because she was able to fight off her initial possession in the cinematic only to be Ruined once more off-screen. On the other hand, Draven and Shyvana show the Black Mist reached much farther than the on-screen areas of Noxus, Ionia, and Demacia. While this opens the door for many older champions to get their first skin in years , it is another way to bring those who are unrelated to the Shadow Isles conflict or had their initial stories finished back into lore relevance. With many players fearing the ultimate fate of their favorite champions, hopefully they can be freed from the Ruined King's grasp in due t

Of course, this is far from the only problem with Seraphine. The character came under fire last month, when her lore made her an active beneficiary of in-world genocide . That was only a small part of the outrage, however, as the real focus was on Seraphine's disturbing Twitter account . The branded account tweeted like it had feelings, trying to play up the character's interpersonal struggles and lack of self-confidence like a cutesy marketing point. It was pretty gross, to say the very least, and hit a sour note during a time when everyone is suffering through a global pande

In the upcoming 11.2 patch, a new Ruined thematic will arrive featuring skins for Karma, Draven, and Shyvana. While many past skinlines are from alternate versions of Runeterra , Riot has confirmed these Ruined skins are canon to the main universe. As such, these skins reflect the champions' current states after being corrupted by Viego's po

While it's still unknown whether these next three releases will aid or oppose the Ruined King, future champions will be much more involved in the overarching story rather than just staying in their home regions. Additionally, this opens the way for even more lore characters to become champions which Riot expressed a renewed interest in doing for the past few ye

His Mana Barrier (Passive) gives him extra defenses with a damage-absorption field that CDs every minute. Meanwhile, his Overdrive (S2) gives him an attack speed boost to open more devastating combos. His Rocket Grab (S1) can bring enemies closer to him, while Power Fist (S3) gives a knock-up critical hit. Lastly, his Static Field (Ultimate) marks enemies for a devastating damage-over-time - perfect for team fig

Hyperactive and impulsive criminal Jinx loves to wreak havoc wherever she goes, and she packs a dangerous arsenal coming to _ Wild Rift _ . As a marksman, Jinx possesses two basic attacks, a devastating projectile ultimate, and a trap to disorient enemies. Due to her high-damage nature, Jinx works best in the Dragon L

From my perspective, then, there's only really one decent thing Riot could do in this situation. For over a month, the public has rebuked Seraphine's existence. Her in-canon profiting from genocide, her insincere and creepy Twitter account, and now, the fact that she's very likely based on a former employee's ex. This character has been deemed unacceptable by fans and casual observers alike, so in my opinion, it's time to do away with her entir

Though it's only been a week since Season 11 officially started, League of Legends players were immediately shaken by the announcement that the Ruined King, Viego will be playable soon. But while everyone waits for Viego to take his place in the Esports Champion strategies roster, there are more significant lore implications now that the legendary figure is coming to Summoner's R

Taliyah was designed to be able to shove lanes and roam, which is why she was such an effective Mid Laner and Jungler last season. Her ultimate is what truly makes her unique because she creates and rides a wall that can separate and trap members of the enemy t

Additionally, her Surround Sound (S2) shields allies and gives them movement speed as well as healing. Lastly, Encore (Ult) damages and slows enemies on a line that extends if it touches enemy Champions and other all

Monster hunter Vayne won’t let anything stop her quest for vengeance, and her skills are put to good use in _ Wild Rift _ as a marksman and assassin. She boasts high physical damage with multiple opportunities for burst damage, stuns, and devastating AOE. In turn, Vayne works best in the Dragon L
