The community is showing a lot of love for the new champion, Renata.
On the evening of January 31st (Vietnam time), comprehensive images of the new champion, Renata, surfaced, including splash art for her default skin and the first skin she's likely to have upon release. Additionally, Renata's skill set has been leaked on various social media platforms, although Riot has yet to officially confirm them.
First up is the image of Renata's default skin. She appears as a hybrid of human and machine, reminiscent of European nobility with an intricately decorated gun strapped to her hip. It's possible that upon her official debut in League of Legends, she'll wield this gun as her weapon. As for Renata's leaked first skin, she'll be depicted as a commanding military officer exuding a very 'cool' vibe.
Furthermore, the (unconfirmed) skill set of Renata has been revealed. Renata will possess abilities geared towards strong crowd control against enemies and buffs for allies. Her passive, as leaked information suggests, will mark enemies, and when allies detonate the marks, they can deal damage. Renata's Q ability will inflict crowd control effects, enabling her to control opponents for a few seconds. Her W ability will also revive allies within 3 seconds. Her E ability will cause two different crowd control effects, while Renata's ultimate will unleash a wide-reaching taunt effect, forcing nearby enemies to attack the target directly in front of them (including her own allies, minions, and enemies). If there are no enemies nearby, those affected by Renata's ultimate can even attack the terrain in front of them.
Of course, these images and abilities are currently only leaked and have not been officially confirmed by Riot. Nevertheless, the upcoming champion, Renata, is generating immense excitement within the community. Some are even suggesting that Riot should create more champions like her, true warriors, rather than characters like Seraphine.
Perhaps in a few days, Riot will provide more information about this new champion. And if so, it's likely that Renata will be present in both League of Legends and TFT simultaneously, rather than being introduced in Riot's famous game mode and then appearing on Summoner's Rift as initially speculated.
