According to Riot Games, the latest champion of League of Legends in Ixtal is a lovely boy who has the ability to heal with the fire element.
Traditionally, Riot Games will release a video introducing the League of Legends champion development roadmap at the beginning of each season, usually in January every year. But recently, there have been many rumors about the latest champion from the Ixtal region leaking images before Riot Games officially announced it.
Images shared in posts about the champion at Ixtal:
The image of the new champion is actually drawn by AI and shared by YouTuber Big Bad Bear.
But different from what the League of Legends community expected, this is not a leaked image from Riot Games, but it was drawn by AI (based on keywords that Riot revealed), then shared by a foreign YouTuber.
Previously, Riot Games shared a teaser about this new champion.
In addition, Riot employees in the West and China have revealed some details about this new champion:
Skill: Heal with fire (fire healer). Appearance: A boy. Origin: Coming from Ixtal. Skill: Easy to use, does not require high player skills.
Based on the plot, Ixtal was one of the first independent nations to join the Shurima Empire, however the Ixtal culture is much older. Even the Ixtal magicians have survived the Void, Darkin, etc. by isolating themselves from other nations.
As for skills, magicians in Ixtal are famous for their ability to manipulate elemental magic, for example Qiyana is the typical general of this land. Besides, Ixtal is also the home of the Elemental Dragons. So maybe this new champion will have special interactions with Fire Dragon.
