League Of Legends And Valorant Get New Blob-Throwing Additions To Their Rosters
Riot Games is showing two of its most popular titles some love with the addition of new characters for League of Legends and Valorant. The former is currently awaiting the arrival of a new champion named Milio while the latter already welcomed Gekko into its roster earlier this week, both of whom use adorable anthropomorphic blobs to do their bidding.
As LoL’s newest support character, Milio uses the power of fire to heal and buff allies with the help of his fire buddies, a.k.a. fuemigos. He can also throw up a shield and increase his or his allies’ movement speed when in a pinch.
“Fire as a power source typically calls to mind offensive spells that burn and scorch. But the soft glow of Milio’s healing flame is a far cry from the aggressive fireballs of champions like Brand or Annie,” says Riot. “Milio’s kit is all about using fire to heal and empower his allies, with help from the giant, bulbous fuemigo that’s cozied up in his backpack.”
Milio is coming to the popular MOBA with the release of Patch 13.6 on March 22nd.
Gekko, on the other hand, is a new initiator who can use his team of adorable pets to rush enemies, deal AoE damage, and even diffuse and plant spikes. He arrived in Valorant earlier this week alongside the start of a new season and the launch of a new battle pass.
