Riot Games has revealed the next playable Champion for League Of Legends, and it’s none other than Viego The Ruined King himself. He was unveiled via a new cinematic trailer to celebrate the beginning of the MOBA game’s Season 11.

In the cinematic trailer, we can see Lucian and Senna taking on Viego (and failing). We then see other Champions like Poppy, Samira, Darius, and Vayne attempting to defend their respective regions from Viego’s dark forces. The video ends with Lucian having escaped with Senna, but also with Viego somehow becoming even more powerful.

According to League Of Legends lead producer Ryan Mireles (via Polygon), there will be three other new champions to be released alongside Viego The Ruined King. These will include a top lane brawler, a Yordle artillery mage, and a marksman.

As for Viego The Ruined King, here are his full ability kit:

PASSIVE — SOVEREIGNS DOMINATION

Viego can temporarily possess enemy champions that he helps kill healing for a portion of their max health. During possession, Viego’s items, attacks, and non-ultimate abilities become those of his slain enemy, and he gains a free cast of his own ultimate, Heartbreaker.

While possessing an enemy Viego also gets bonus movement speed when moving toward enemy champions.

Q — BLADE OF THE RUINED KING

Passive: Viego’s attacks deal a percent of his target’s current health as bonus damage on-hit. When Viego attacks an enemy he recently hit with an ability the attack strikes twice.

The second strike siphons health from the target instead of dealing regular damage, but still applies on hit effects and can critically strike.

This passive is maintained during possessions.

Active: Viego stabs forward with his blade damaging all enemies hit.

W — SPECTRAL MAW

Viego charges up and then dashes forward hurling a blast of mist that stuns and damages the first enemy hit.

Stun duration and mist range increase with charge time, damage and dash range do not.

E — HARROWED PATH

Viego spreads a wave of Black Mist around a nearby wall. While in the mist Viego becomes Camouflaged and gains attack speed and movement speed.

R — HEARTBREAKER

Viego discards any bodies he is currently possessing and teleports forward, attacking the enemy champion in range with the lowest percent health and dealing bonus damage based on their missing health.

Other enemies in range are knocked away.

Viego The Ruined King is expected to go live on 21 January 2021 with Patch 11.2.

In other related news, Viego will also presumably be the main antagonist of the upcoming single-player turn-based RPG Ruined King: A League of Legends Story. It is slated to release for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and the Epic Games Store sometime in 2021.
