Two new League of Legends champions are coming, including a "colourful mage"

Riot Games is teasing not one, but two new League of Legends champions. In the final champion roadmap of the year, lead producer of champions Ryan ‘Reav3’ Mireles documented upcoming changes to Nunu, Ezreal, Kayle, and Morgana, while also pointing towards two new champions closer to the start of season nine.

As has been teased before, Nunu is the next champion set to receive a rework. Reav3 discussed making sure to maintain the character’s iconic ultimate, as well as his E, Consume. His other abilities, however, are changing to bring the champion closer to the modern age of League of Legends.

Sticking with reworks, Reav3 discusses Ezreal, whose model, animations, and VO don’t really suit him. While much of the sharpshooting adventurer’s kit is set to stay the same, there’ll be some changes to his W, Essence Flux, which many Ezreal players “aren’t in love with.” Riot also wants to rebuild the character’s VO and model in order to make sure the fantasy attached to playing Ezreal can be more effectively delivered on.

When it comes to existing champions, Reav3 ends on Kayle and Morgana. While acknowledging that Morgana’s in a pretty good spot, Reav3 does admit that Kayle is far less viable. With that in mind, Morgana’s changes will be pretty minor, but Kayle will go through a more wide-ranging rework. Both champions, however, will be subject to something of a new theme, tying their joint narratives together.
