Season 7 was a memorable year for the world of League of Legends. Each major champion update or new champion release brings new skills and mechanics that have never been seen before in the game.
This year in the arena of justice, the focus is on improvement and stability. League of Legends is an 8-year-old game, and Riot has put a lot of effort into redesigning and re-launching old champions whose skill sets and looks are no longer trendy. This year alone, we’ve seen the launch of 4 new champions and 4 champion remakes, and of course there will be good ones and not so great ones.
Here are the major champion updates and the best champion releases of 2017.
9) Evelynn
The update for Evelynn focuses on clarifying her personality, just like Urgot and Warwick. She’s a stealth killer that hunts for anything that moves, and they’ve really delivered that feeling with this update – but not always. Her update was one of the most disappointing this year, although she’s stronger than before, now Evelynn won’t become invisible until she’s level 6.
Her ganks feel a bit weak, the gameplay feels a bit boring when she hasn’t reached level 6. She is still very strong, but compared to other new champions of the year, she still hasn’t found a rank. high for yourself.

8) Orn
Despite having a cool design, Ornn’s debut was quite a flop. He’s pretty weak, and it took a lot of updates and buffs to bring him up to par with top laners. But because of a bad first impression, Ornn didn’t get much attention despite having a very good set of skills. His ult literally summons a god, and with it he can reverse a fight if timed correctly.
With the new rune, Ornn is going through another tough patch, as none of the key runes are really strong against him. Ornn was buffed in patch 7.22, and maybe Riot went a bit too far. Ornn is now one of the strongest top laners in the game – too strong to say the least – and there may be some balance changes happening in the near future.

7) Zoe
The cosmic angel with the name Zoe is a fun-loving champion that has just been added to the general lineup of League of Legends. She broke the chain of previously dark champions, and thanks to that, she brought a very new feeling to the game. Unfortunately, her debut was fraught with problems.
Even though she’s only been out for a few weeks, since then she’s been at the center of every nerf or mod request due to her high damage and unstoppable gameplay. Being too strong right from the start is something not often seen in new champions, and of course that doesn’t detract from the fun playing Zoe and the uniqueness of this champion’s design.
6) Urgot
Urgot has been updated, and like Evelynn, this update improves his image and personality. Before, he was a joke among players. Now, he has become a terrifying death machine.
His kit is unlike anything in the game: Urgot has been updated to become a ranged gladiator. Gnar was the champion with the closest position to the ranged assassin list before Urgot arrived, but Gnar still can only hit close (when he turns giant) so this Yordle name is not counted. Urgot’s ultimate is the first ability that can instantly kill a life, even though the probability is very low, each successful activation gives a very good feeling.

5) Kayn
Kayn is the newest shadow champion in League of Legends. He is very dark, loves to kill, and lives in shadows. He is basically a shadow. Kayn is a very interesting champion, although the gameplay is quite difficult. It took players a few weeks to find his strength because Kayn has two powerful transformations with different compositions.
He is Zed’s apprentice, and like Zed, he is a dark wizard with a massive damage ultimate. He is also a pretty strong jungler. Initially, he debuted in the hit meta, so he didn’t have much acting space. With the launch of the new rune, the meta game has changed, and Kayn is probably on the rise for a while.

4) Warwick
The first champion remake of the year belongs to Warwick, and it’s a great update. The design team changed all of his kit, and completely redesigned Warwick’s look. Updates to Warwick have made him a terrifying hunter who tracks his prey and hunts down the weak. Warwick has set a benchmark for future champion remakes. Every update has to make that champion have a unique playstyle, and bring that champion’s personality.
While Warwick isn’t quite as useful as Galio, he hasn’t received any changes since the remake came out, and with still keeping his portrayal of a bloodthirsty predator, this is a very cool champion update. impressive.
3) Xayah
Xayah is Rakan’s only lover, and this is also the first pair of champions to debut in League of Legends. She ranks below Rakan as she is not as useful in many situations as him, but she is still very strong. In fact, it can be said that she is one of the strongest marksman in the game.
Her feathered mechanic continues to expand the list of existing mechanics like Kalista’s E or Twitch’s poison, and it allows her to dance into teamfights in a style no other AD carry can. can imitate.

2) Rakan
Rakan is the other half in the debut of League of Legends’ first champion pair. He’s also the first support champion to strike a balance between initiating teamfights with healing and protecting his lane. Like Galio, Rakan has made a lot of appearances on the pro scene, and he’s also very popular in mere ranked matches.
Rakan ranks very high on this list due to his versatility. He’s one of the strongest supports in the game, which was obvious from launch. When the Censer meta revolted, Rakan was very strong with shielding and healing, and when the support meta was able to turn the tide of combat, he still found his place.

1) Galio
Giants Guardian was League of Legends’ biggest champion success of 2017. Galio’s remake in March was just behind Warwick, and players were eager to see what Riot did with the champion.
What we got in return was the biggest update of the year – an update that not only changed Galio’s looks and abilities, but also his personality and theme. He went from a sad winged creature to a confident guardian, somewhat like a superhero.
Galio was equipped with an extremely powerful set of skills. The versatility of his new taunt and other abilities has made Galio a true tank, and instantly a top pick in the pro scene. Right after the new rune came out, he was a bit out of breath, but we have no reason not to expect him to get the proper tweaks before the new season officially kicks off in January.
