Riot Games already released some new champions in the popular strategic game at the beginning of 2021. The very first one was The Ruined King, Viego. The giant game company also confirmed that the following new champs will revolve or be connected to him.

Riot kept his promise after the game publisher released The Hollow Seemstress, Gwen, which is the first champ to be connected with Viego's lore. After that, there is the so-called Gloomy Yordle and the new mid-lane marksman or ADR.
