Tips Suggest Ruined King Will Become The Next Jungle League of Legends
Many have been speculating about the identity of the Destruction King ever since Riot unveiled the RPG League of Legends after Game XNUMX of the World Championship Finals. According to rumors, the main character may soon appear in LoL as a new jungler.
Riot's LoL RPG announcement has been in the works for a long time. Fans loved to delve into the history of Runeterra, and Riot sought to match this by releasing champions such as Senna and Yone, minor characters in the League universe that were turned into champions.
Ruined King could very well be next in line. The Blade of the Ruined King has been one of the league's staples for years, and the Shattered King of the Shadow Islands is a supporting character as Uncle Calista before he became an RPG item.
Now it looks like the king might be reunited with his niece in Summoner's Rift soon.
A new enemy rises from the mist; uniting an unexpected group of champions. The fate of Bilgewater is in your hands.

What do we know about Ruined King
Riot August, creator of champions including V, Ekko, and Senna, teased in September that he was working on a new "jungle skirmisher".
The jungle skirmisher is my next champion! They're one of the more ambitious projects I've worked on and I can't wait for you to see them. Very excited for this one. 😀https://t.co/yGNmsQ2N4a pic.twitter.com/8j0CXDYwmE

In the champion's September roadmap also teased "a new romantic skirmisher from the forest who will torment the hearts and possess the mind at the beginning of next year." The "mind possession" part is especially interesting, as it fits well with the Shadow Isles ghost theme, one of Runeterra's key settings in the new RPG.
But that's not all. One sharp-eyed player noticed the pattern on the King's sword. This picture is eerily similar to the model shown by Riot August. Could this be the romantic sign of the Ruined King?
The champion is expected to be released around the same time as the new game, which means it could be a very astute marketing ploy on Riot's part.
If Ruined King is truly our romantic duelist jungler, this could be one of the most hyped champion releases we've ever seen.
