New League of Legends Champion will have “Steep Learning Curve”
League of Legends players are preparing for the arrival of the new champion Lillia, who will arrive alongside the ‘masked assassin’, but Riot Games is warning players that Lillia will come with “steep learning curves” ahead of the arrival.
Both are expected to arrive on the Summoner’s Rift in Patch 10.14 which is due out later this week.
Lillia will be League of Legends 149th champion, while the “masked assassin” is rumored to be Yasuo’s brother Yone and will arrive alongside Lillia.
“Our upcoming dreamy jungler and masked assassin are both likely to appeal to players looking for more novel experiences, and will require a pretty heavy investment to get over the initial learning curve,” Riot Games stated (h/t Dexerto).
“While we’re confident that mastering these two new champions [expected to arrive together later this week] will be worth the effort, there will likely be some bonus ‘feels bad’ feels too, especially in comparison to simpler future champion releases.”
“We don’t want players to worry about us releasing new/updated champs that consistently dominate like they have in the recent past,” they said. The ability to take a longer-term approach should mitigate this, they added.
“Without a pressure to make these champs win at the same rate as the rest of the champion pool at release, we can better ensure they’re not running away with games as players become more experienced on them.”
Xbox has officially unveiled the Xbox Developer Sustainability Toolkit which is aimed to help creators reduce energy consumption and measure carbon emissions during game development processes.

Catalyst Black developer Super Evil Megacorp has expanded their team following the announcement of their new partnership with content streaming platform Netflix, which include new additions from big name brands like Blizzard, Ubisoft, and Rockstar Games, according to MobileGamer.biz.
These are some of the appointments:
- Tim Hume – lead gameplay tech engineer
- JC Simbulan – lead animator
- Steven Goodwin – senior technical engineer
- Jurie Horneman – lead narrative engineer
- Cassandre Beaumier – production director
- Milo Casali – senior level designer
Netflix’s vice president and head of external games Leanne Loombe commented on the new title in the works for Netflix.
“It’s a big bet for us and we’re very much focused on creating an ecosystem around the streaming content and the game,” Loombe said. “It’s really a transmedia play for us in this brand new IP.”
Riot Games issued a statement on Wednesday saying that they received a ransom email after hackers stole source code for League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics, with the attack also targeting its legacy anticheat platform, according to an official release.
“Needless to say, we won’t pay,” Riot said in the statement. “While this attack disrupted our build environment and could cause issues in the future, most importantly we remain confident that no player data or player personal information was compromised.”
Riot Games continued by saying that it’s been working to assess the leak’s impact on anticheat as “any exposure of source code can increase the likelihood of new cheats emerging.” The company added that “experimental features” were also exposed, saying that “most of this content is in prototype and there’s no guarantee it will ever be released.”
Riot Games first announced the hack back on January 20th, saying it was a “social engineering attack.”
