Riot August tweeted:
Excited to announce that @Squad5lol is taking over as Lead Champion Designer!
I'll be moving into the mysterious role of "A Lead Designer on League of Legends," where I'll be helping out projects across League, from champs, to balance, to modes, to R & D!
For recent work, Briar was August's the last champ for a while and Squad5 is the designer for the upcoming Freljordian Vastaya solo laner and was the designer on Milio before handing him over to Emizery.
Fun fact: Squad5 worked a lot with August before becoming a champ designer. He fixed a critical day 1 bug on Vi and was the one who came up with the zoom, camera lock, execute for Jhin's ult, which convinced design leadership to let him work on his own champ.
