Riot Games has unveiled a lot of information regarding the future of League of Legends in its new champion action plan. True to his word, the developer notably gave additional details on the jungler – who could be called Bel’Veth. The next champion to join Summoner’s Rift is one of the most anticipated characters, as he will finally bring a new creature to the game as well as a new Void dweller..
However, and with no official confirmation on the name or release date, the company has revealed a lot of interesting details.
Bel’Veth, the new champion who will subjugate other champions
As usual in this kind of preview, Riot Games left it to the players to interpret certain elements. However, they were keen to put forward several revealing gameplay ideas. First of all, the new champion was described as an Empress of the Void, capable of subduing all other characters. An idea that builds on his original reveal at the start of Season 12, in which the developer giving the first details about him hinted that the character could control minds.
In this latest teaser, it is not specified how this mechanism capable of making all the other champions obey will work. However, it looks like you can also voluntarily agree to: “Those who voluntarily agree will be rewarded by joining the ever-expanding Sea of Lavender, whose waves crash upon enemy defensive structures. Offer yourself to your Empress and let her feast on your essence, so that you can be part of the new evolution in Runeterra. In addition, if you succumb to it, you will also be able to contemplate its true elegance, its real beauty, and the true face of the Void.”
A text that ends with a strange reference to the Portal video game and which left the League of Legends community very intrigued: “How to refuse? Me, I already gave myself in January, and even if there was no cake, I still had a good time. So what are you waiting for?”
Riot Games had already mentioned that this new champion will be quite complex compared to the others — and this unique mechanic will perhaps be the key to the gameplay of this jungler. Unfortunately, there have been no new details on a release date, although Bel’Veth’s arrival should be imminent and shouldn’t be delayed more than a patch or two.
He is one of the least popular champions in League of Legends and Riot Games is very keen to change this situation. Aurelion Sol, the Star Forger, will be entitled to an MGC (a complete gameplay update).
