These are exiting instances for League of Legends: Wild Rift with the arrival of the Elemental Rift and new champions Shen and Karma in Patch 3.1.

However the icing on the cake is the announcement that extra champions are coming into Wild Rift in 2022.

“2022 is the Yr of the Edgelord,” stated Alan Moore, Govt Producer of LoL: Wild Rift in a video preview of Patch 3.1 uploaded on Saturday (12 March).

Moore talked about “revisiting the battle-scarred places of Runeterra”, declaring Zaun, Bilgewater, and Noxus as the subsequent places the place the brand new champions could also be coming from.

We all know a number of Edgelords who match the invoice, however it actually doesn’t cease us from dreaming and wishing for extra champions to hitch the Wild Rift Roster. Listed below are among the champions we want to see on Wild Rift:

Prime Lane: Viktor, Aatrox

The highest lane is already stuffed with loads of decisions for solo laning, with mixture of bruisers, tanks, and a few champions with ranged assaults. However two champions we need to see within the prime lane of Wild Rift are Viktor and Aatrox.

Because the launch of Arcane, the Netflix animated adaptation of League of Legends, in November 2021, Viktor’s recognition rose in solo queue.

The Machine Herald advocated for progress with good intent, wanting to assist the struggling working class of Zaun. He’s a insurgent of a unique form.

In-game, Viktor is a formidable duelist within the prime and mid lane, with sufficient crowd management and laning expertise, although he can wrestle towards the likes of Darius, Sett, and Shen. It’s within the mid-game the place Viktor shines, and he might be very efficient in teamfights.

Aatrox is one other widespread champion that’s near an “edgelord”. The Darkin Lord’s lore and character design are very attention-grabbing and have fairly a darkish theme.

The champion isn’t excessive within the tier record within the sport’s PC model, however some Wild Rift gamers bear in mind Aatrox as an AA-based, bruiser. Relying on which equipment is adopted into the cell model, a Wild Rift Aatrox might be a drive to be reckoned with.

Jungle: Warwick, Kayn, Viego

The jungle is one in every of my favourite roles to play, so it’s a disgrace that there aren’t many junglers in Wild Rift. Jungler mains are trying ahead to extra additions to the champion roster for this function, and we now have a number of in thoughts.

Warwick is excessive on my want record, and I’ve seen many gamers need to play this champion as effectively.

One of many OG 17 champions in League of Legends, Warwick is a superb duelist within the prime lane and an efficient champion within the jungle. Whereas he’s thought of to be solely a tier 4 champion within the PC model, Warwick might be an absolute monster with the correct construct.

I’m not likely a fan of Kayn, however he’s the textbook definition of edgelord. Noxian by beginning, with the blood of Ionians, Kayn’s lore merely matches.

He additionally appears the half and acts the half. The glowing pink eye, the “cool” grey streak on his hair, the (barely annoying) smirk, and his outfit (or lack of it).

The Shadow Reaper wields Rhaast and continues to make use of it, regardless of being conscious that it might corrupt his physique and his soul. If that’s not edgy sufficient, I don’t know what’s.

Viego is one such different champion that might be runner as much as Kayn, though he’s from the Shadow Isles, not any of the three areas talked about by Moore.

The determined, lovelorn tenor threw a tantrum and overturned most of Runeterra to seek out the items of his lifeless spouse’s soul, regardless of realizing it wasn’t what she needed.

Add to that the truth that everybody anticipated him to be an aged king, however he as a substitute turned out to be a younger, good-looking man, full with an open black vest and the pale, vampiric, Lestat-esque look. Cringe. As Senna would have stated, “So predictable.”

However placing his lore and design apart, Viego is a well-liked jungler in LoL PC, due to the passive from his first capability serving to with maintain, and his final that may assist with shock ganks towards the enemy.

If it is nearly gameplay and talent equipment, Viego is an efficient selection.

Mid: Sylas, Vex

Sylas, the Unshackled is a tier 2 champion within the PC sport with a good win price in each the mid lane and the highest lane. His backstory and his darkish sorcery make him candidate for this 12 months’s “theme.”

On prime of that, Sylas has good burst injury, have interaction, and crowd management, making him an incredible selection within the mid lane.

Vex is a brand new champion from final 12 months, however the emo yordle’s gameplay within the mid lane makes us want for her on cell.

Whereas she doesn’t match the places, since she’s from Bandle Metropolis, the Gloomist is likely one of the champions that may counter so many others within the mid lane.

Presently in LoL PC, Vex is subsequent to Ahri as one of many precedence champions within the mid lane.

Backside: Aphelios, Zeri

There are already quite a lot of champions within the backside lane, however two champions make it into our want record.

Aphelios is a premiere decide in LoL’s esports scene, particularly within the League of Legends Championship Korea (LCK). His lore is attention-grabbing, having been born by means of a uncommon celestial occasion.

A Lunari murderer who doesn’t wish to kill, Aphelios is mute and solely kills in silence, guided by the spirit of his sister Alune. Sounds edgelord-y sufficient.

This champion is nice within the mid-game, particularly when paired with a utility help. With the correct crew, he shines as a late-game carry that may demolish enemy groups, particularly if enemy crew composition is not suited to counter him.

Zeri is the precise reverse of the theme that Moore hinted, however being Filipino-inspired, and voiced by Filipina voice actress Vanille Velasquez, many Filipino gamers have been wishing that she was additionally launched into Wild Rift.

Zeri’s equipment and base stats are insane, and he or she’s the highest backside lane decide proper now, even in esports.

That stated, the Spark of Zaun remains to be being fine-tuned, having been nerfed in nearly each patch in LoL PC, so it’ll take some time earlier than the Wild Rift crew may take into consideration including her into the roster.

Help: Pyke, Rell

Personally, I’m not a fan of Pyke, however he is the edgelord in Bilgewater, and he’s a singular addition to the Rift.

With the correct construct and the correct crew (and a excessive stage of participant ability), he could be a good help, or perhaps a uncommon, shock counter decide within the mid lane.

Alternatively, Rell is a superb champion that has sufficient edginess in her that makes us need to see her on cell.

An unlikely hero in Noxus, Rell is likely one of the extra underrated champions, each by way of energy and character.

The Iron Maiden from Noxus has a singular character design and equipment, and he or she stands out from the usual tropes of champions accessible in Wild Rift.

On prime of that, her win price is likely one of the highest on LoL PC, even when her decide price solely makes her tier 2.

There are a lot of others that we need to see, however we predict (most of) these champions might be thought of edgelords. Or we simply need to see them due to their design and skills.
