League of Legends' Newest Champion is Jinx, The Loose Cannon

, but specifically stated that he would not be the next champion to be added to the game. As of now, there's no word from Riot on when we can expect to see Jinx in-game.

More half-dressed women in LoL that forgot how to armour. Shocking news.

I'll just continue to not give that shit company any of my money.
her alternative skin is actually quite interessting.



also her base design is obviously heavily inspired by tank girl and jinx doesnt have double Ds either. usually oversexualized champions bother me, but I dont feel like jinx is really a victim of that (unlike cait... sheriff of piltover looks like a fool who tried to go for a stripper look)

I may be wrong about this but riot seems to be interested in adding various DPS characters, completely ignoring other roles you might encounter in aRTS games such as gankers, supports, tanks, initiators, junglers, semi-carries etc. Also back when I was playing the game it always seemed they liked to empower new heroes a lot and at the same time nerf possible counters putting a little bit of pressure on the community to buy new character if they wanted to dominate matches right after his or her release.

Like I said it's just my impression.

I know I should recognize that look from some movie, but I don't. Anyone knows where that's from?

Looks a lot like the style of dress from the latest Great Gatsby.

None true, unfortunately. They've had plenty of underwhelming releases, but that's the thing: no one remembers them.

As far the first one, there are many classifications and roles, a lot of it is based on how you play them. League is, of course, more rigid in the lane/game set-up. Also, they've released plenty of other "archetypes" as well. Thresh has been one of the most influential support of this season, for instance. (And for good reason, his kit is absolutely insane) That's the thing with damage dealers, they can release many, but that's because they are not quite as relevant as characters who can have influence on teamfights via CC or sticking power.

OT:
Yaaaaay.

I always feel weird seeing league news on this website. Not sure why honestly.

Anyway, I'll probably try her out, but I'm not the most ADC-centric player.

ARTS was a popular way to describe Dota like mods and games and many people like to use this one instead of MOBA.

I actually really like the design, and it's good to see a female character that isn't being weighed down by a pair of destroyer-class starships strapped to their chest.

As far as the whole 'overpowered new champion' thing goes, I'd argue that a lot of new champions are even underpowered, or at least incredibly difficult to play.

Yay. Now not only do they have big tittied super models for 14 year olds to spank off to, now they have anorexics for people to spank off to.

I'm all for the sexy scantily clad women, but LoL has so many of them now that it's starting to get ridiculous.

I think that alternate look is supposed to be a 20's style flapper. So...Gatsby would definitely fit.

Heh...if they can get DC's permission for a Harley Quinn skin for this character and...whoever's permission for a Tank Girl skin, this would be instant win for all.
