In the reveal stream they announced that the next 3 champs after the ruined king himself will come from ruined king story, and will be:

  • An AP toplaner with a tailor/clothing/sewing theme (thanks /u/Atheist-Gods)
  • A "gloomy" ranged artillery mage from bandle city
  • A "new sentinel of light" marksman designed for a nontraditional position

Could you tell us who is designing each of the champ's kits like you did last year with Samira, Seraphine, Rell, etc?

The Top laner is being designed by Stashu, the deisgner on the mage is Lutz and the Sentinel is RiotJag

Hey, Reav3. Love your work. Just curious though, if the plan is to give a new champ for each lane every year, I'm confused where the non-traditional Marksman fits in. Does this mean the Marksman is not actually the new ADC, or it is a new ADC but it's being built around another lane but will be viable bot?

The Sentinel is not the bot lane ADC for the year, no

Could you share the writer and artist working on the sentinel? And is Jag still working on them even tho he moved to SR team

TwinEnso will be taking it over, but Jag did the majority or work and will still be involved. JohnODyin is the writer on both the Sentinel and the Mage. Lonewingy is the artist on the Mage and RiotEarp is the artist on the Sentinel

Could I ask what motivated this big push to tell the story of Viego across multiple champs, games and maybe even skins. Since this is quite exciting

Well we originally saw players excited when we made Kai'Sa and we tested the waters more with Senna, and saw that many players really liked the idea of bringing champs from the lore into the game. With Spirit Blossom we took a bigger step to try a big lore event with champions and skins and a story, which was also very well received. This is just continuing to expand and build on the things we are seeing resonate with players
