Ahri the Nine-Tailed Fox has an innate connection to Runeterra’s latent powers, allowing her to manipulate orbs of energy to her liking. As a ranged mage, she specializes in blink-based movement, charming, and high magic damage - making her fit for Mid L

At the same time, there is an interesting situation within the Shadow Isles region. Some champions such as Hecarim and Thresh have become monsters bent on killing the living and are sure to side with Viego in his crusade against life. On the other hand, some individuals like Maokai and Yorick were transformed against their will but still fight in a desperate bid to restore the Shadow Isles to the paradise it was before. Though neither individual has been mentioned yet in Season 11, it is only a matter of time until they play a key role in the st

Thanks to Viego's initial attacks on multiple regions, there were brief moments where champions such as Darius were taken over by the Black Mist. Though the mind control was quickly undone, players got a glimpse of what possession does like manifesting the Ruined King's crown and color scheme of the Shadow Isles. And while many assumed this was a one-time showcase, several new skins reveal that it may become a common theme during Season

Goredrinker is absurd. It's almost definitely going to eat a nerf before the season officially starts, and possibly some afterward. The build path for the item is really solid, with Ironspike Whip and Phage both being quality items to pick up early. The stats on the item alone make it gold efficient, which is surprisingly rare for so-called "mythic" it

At the same time, there is plenty of growth left for future events and scheduling. PsyOps 2020 had the unfortunate circumstance of coming right after Spirit Blossom and during the Worlds 2020 hype period. Since Samira's release skin was tied to PsyOps, there wasn't any other time the event could release, but it still contributed to being overshadowed alongside the shorter 3-week duration. Finally, K/DA's comeback was heavily anticipated by players since August, but the group was only Worlds 2020's closing act. With the promotion across Teamfight Tactics and Legends of Runeterra in addition to Seraphine's storyline, K/DA could easily have earned their own event alongside the ALL OUT album released last week. At this point, fans can only believe this will happen with an eventual third ret

Before the Mythic Items came along, Ornn was already one of the game's best Top Laners , and now he's even better. Ornn is a tank who naturally counters other tanks with his basic attacks. With the new Sunfire Aegis, Ornn can deal magic damage that depends on his level, and he gains stacks every time he attacks, which boosts the damage even m

Shaco can now dash through an enemy and deal damage to them without warning. It also reduces the target's armor and pairs perfectly with Shaco's passive that deals bonus damage when he's behind an en

In the revamped Shadow Isles lore, Viego was responsible for the Ruination which was a cataclysmic event that twisted the Blessed Isles and trapped its denizens in a state between life and death. Since then, the Black Mist as well as undead monsters and champions attacked various places such as Bilgewater in the past and will be revisited in the Ruined King RPG . However, Viego's imminent debut will also set in motion storylines that have never been attempted before by Riot Games and will span most of, if not, the entire sea

For a thousand years, Viego's goal has been to resurrect Isolde no matter the cost. Unfortunately, Senna stated doing so "will destroy this world" as the Black Mist and Shadow Isles previously demonstrated. Because of this, Viego's past actions and current motives have painted him as the current big bad in League of Legends top lane guide of Legends . But while there have been multiple world-ending threats throughout Runeterra's history, the Ruined King himself may succeed in uniting the various regions towards a common goal once m

However, looking at the active effect, it pales in comparison to the other items. It's the replacement for Hextech-GLP, giving an extra slow and root to champions that might need it. The damage is nowhere near as good as the other mythic passives, and the root is a bit finicky to land. Champions like Sylas can terrorize with the item, but without an easy way to land the root, there's no reason to build it over the other opti

While the Ruined King's rampage may ultimately not touch every single lore character mentioned in the past, this plotline that unfolds during Season 11 will set the standard for many years to come. With years of foreshadowing finally coming to a head, Viego's story is truly the greatest undertaking that Riot Games has done for League of Legends

Riot Games has made the effort to work around this classic setup, moving the map so it can be seen and not hidden under your left thumb while simultaneously giving your right thumb access to abilities and activatable items without having to move your h
