League of Legends New Champions

The team at League of Legends has sent us the details on the latest two champion released for the game! LoL is a mixture of some of the RTS (Real time strategy for your RPG only folks) and RPG games you've played in the past, but with so much more. League of Legends is a competitive online game set in an imaginative world with you as the player taking control of a powerful magical character known as a Summoner. Each Summoner must participate in session based battles and control Champions to achieve victory and advance their persistent character. Here's a break down of the different types of characters in League of Legends. Riot Games has just unveiled details about its latest two champions for the upcoming PC game!

League of Legends: Clash of Fates. Both Evelynn and Sion have been added to the official roster of champions to battle on the Fields of Justice.  Here's an exclusive look at the new champions:

Evelynn the Widowmaker

Evelynn's origins are clouded in mystery, though it is clear upon first seeing her that she is not quite human. Some theorize that she was cursed with a mild form of vampirism as a child.  Others suggest that her savagery in combat was so great that she has magically morphed into the hungering beast she is in combat. Evelynn simply smiles when hearing these stories, baring her razor-sharp fangs and teeth. Whether or not she herself knows her origins is unclear, but her recent admission into the Institute of War as a champion has certainly gained the attention of summoners more focused on the here and now.

Evelynn's dark blue skin and her heat-sensitive eyes are ideal for her role as an assassin. When she is able to approach an enemy undetected, she will often catch them by surprise. Unless an enemy is quite resilient, that will often spell the end for her opponent. She has a chance to initially stun her unsuspecting opponent, and then furthering harming a foe so long as she remains behind her prey. Should she actually finish off her hapless victim, she becomes filled with bloodlust and even can replenish her own health.

While Evelynn may have been given her title of "The Widowmaker" through legend, she earns it time and time again in the Fields of Justice. Here's the special abilities available to Evelynn:

Shadow Walk - Evelynn fades away, becoming Stealthed for a few seconds.  Evelynn's next attack or damage ability will stun that unit, ending her Shadow Walk.  1.5 sec delay on Stealth (delayed by damage).  Evelynn can cast Shadow Walk while Stealthed to destealth.
Ravage - Deals damage to target unit.  If Ravage was used from behind, it reduces the target's armor for 5 seconds.
Hate Spike - Instantly spikes a random nearby energy with malevolent energy, dealing Magical Damage.
Malice and Spite  - Evelynn takes pleasure when enemies are slain.  Each time an enemy champion dies, Evelynn gains attack speed and movement speed for 20 seconds (non-stacking).  If Evelynn was the killer, she is also healed for 50% of the target's maximum health.
Silent Killer - Evelynn's attacks do not trigger calls for help.  Turrets and minions will only attack her when she is the closest target.

Sion - Undead Abomination

The history of war between Demacia and Nox extends as far back as the founding of the respective cities in Valoran. A recent product of this conflict was the murderous Noxian warrior, Sion.  Used by the Noxians as a human battering ram, Sion would be sent thundering ahead of Noxian troops. He would mercilessly slaughter foes with his large double handed axe, "Chopper". His complete disregard for caution would ultimately cost him his life, and he was captured and summarily executed by Demacian forces. The Demacians thought that the beheading of Sion would be the end of his bloodthirsty ways. Death, however, was merely the beginning. The famed Noxian assassin Katarina recovered Sion's remains and Noxian necromancers reanimated the behemoth to serve Nox once again.

Sion emerged from the reanimation process even more brutal than before. His gaze alone would now stop foes in dead in their tracks. His skin thickened considerably, increasing the amount of damage the already brutish beast could withstand. He could focus his rage into attacks that cause near-crippling damage at the expense of his own health. Finally, he could drain the very essence of life out of his foes, replenishing himself and his allies. The one thing, however, that the Noxian necromancers did not anticipate upon reanimation was Sion's change of loyalty; his new powers have given Sion a desire to seek his own glory in undeath as a champion of the Institute of War.

Here's the special abilities available to Sion:

Cryptic Gaze - Blasts a single enemy, dealing Magic Damage and stunning for 2 seconds. 
Death's Caress - Sion surrounds himself with a shield which absorbs damage. If the shield is not destroyed in 10 seconds it will explode dealing Magic Damage to surrounding enemies.
Enrage - Increase Sion's damage and he gains Health per kill.
Cannabalism  - Grants Sion Lifesteal and 45% Attack Speed for 20 seconds, additionally Sion's attacks heal surrounding allies for a percent of damage dealt.
Feel No Pain - Each time Sion is attacked, he has a chance to ignore a portion of the damage.
