Draining New League of Legends Champion Vex: Release Date and Grim Mage Abilities
The next League of Legends champion, grim mage, has been revealed ahead of time, and new leaks from the Sentinel's Lights event reveal Vex , formerly Norra ra, who will be the latest LoL character to debut in Summoner's Canyon in Season 11.
The Destruction event in LoL is in full swing right now.
Late last year, Riot Games promised that everything about League of Legends —events, champion releases, and updates—would be linked to an event on a grand scale. the entire Sentinels of Light game . So far they have kept their promise. , and new the characters Viego, Gwen, and Akshan became the protagonists of the Destruction storyline.
Looks like the next character in 2021 will be the same; New League of Legends leaks have finally given us a glimpse of the "dark mage" who first teased back in June 2020 although there have been some changes.
Here's everything we know about the 157th LoL Champion.
Who is Vex, the Grim Mage in LoL?
Not much is known about Vex at the moment.
However, there is a popular League theory that the Grim Mage is Yumi's missing master. The yordle disappeared using the Book of Thresholds (the one Yumi flies on) to "teleport to a dangerous place".
According to early stories and leaks from Riot , the character loves to explore the "material and spiritual realms".
Riot originally teased that the grim mage "would rather be alone." The accompanying images showed depicts a portal outside Bundle town to the Shadow Isles, like a portal that the Book of Thresholds could open. Since then, the champion's design (and possibly the story) has changed quite a bit.
However, Vex will still be a yordle that will "play a big part in Viego's history."

Grim mage and her explosive abilities
Vex has changed quite a bit since her first teaser. Originally, the 14th yordle champion was supposed to be some kind of "artillery mage".
This would make her look like the popular hyper carry Kog'Maw. However, the Riot development team abandoned this middle design and turned the Vex into a more " traditional explosive magician" . It was this shift that delayed her release date.
We know something about Vex's abilities. “She’s annoyed as hell by hyperactive champions running around her. This is enough to make her become serious and start to torment all forms of life, full of annoying happiness, that scurry around her like annoying flies.” Perhaps some kind of slowdown of opponents?
Yordles in League of Legends often boast elemental or spiritual magic. We expect 157 Champion to follow this convention with his core abilities as well.
Vex LoL release date
Chances are we won't be seeing Vex anytime soon; Riot queued up Gloomy magician by sequencing LoL releases, which means that Akshan will be next in the schedule.
Champion Lead Producer Ryan "Reav3" Mirales confirmed on Reddit, that Vex will indeed be part of a Sentinel of Light event that goes beyond the plot. This means that we will most likely see her fall shortly after Akshan. which will debut on July 22until the end of the ongoing event.
