League of Legends
League of Legends
is due to release this fall and is an excellent mixture of RTS and RPG styles
that should appeal to most gamers. It 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. Champions are amazingly powerful characters with unique spells and abilities granted to each champion.
Here are the currently known champions in
League of Legends.
Riot Games
has just unveiled details about two new champions; Amumu the Sad Mummy and Cho'Gath the Black Terror. Both Amumu and Chogath have been added to
the official roster of champions and will be playable when the game releases this fall!
Here's a look at these exciting new
champions:
Amumu, The Sad Mummy
Stat Type:
Strong
Champion Type: Tank
Perhaps
one of the oddest champions in the League of Legends is the yordle known as
Amumu. His life before joining the League remains unknown – especially to Amumu.
All he remembers is that he woke up alone inside a pyramid within the Shurima
Desert. He was wrapped in mummy wrappings and he could not feel his heart
beat. Furthermore, he felt a deep sadness that he could not entirely explain;
he knew he missed his parents, though he could not remember who they were.
Dropping to his knees, Amumu wept into his bandages. No matter what he did, it
seemed he could just never stop his tears or sadness. Eventually he got up off
his knees to mope and wander the world, making his way to the League; it would
seem that even the raw power of unleashed emotions can be used to benefit the
plans of summoners.
To this day, Amumu remains a very sad mummy, occasionally
experiencing moments of extreme anger followed by bouts of crushing depression.
It is during these times that it is best to stay out of his way, or you may find
yourself wrapped up and suffocating inside his tear-stained bandages. Whenever
a nearby enemy unit dies around Amumu, its corpse explodes, dealing magic damage
to surrounding units. Amumu can unleash his sadness and anger into a terrible
tantrum, permanently reducing the physical damage of his foes. He can entangle
surrounding enemy units, immobilizing them and inflicting magic damage for a
short duration. Finally, Amumu temporarily reduces the magic resistance of
every enemy he strikes.

Cho'Gath the Black Terror
Stat Type:
Strong
Champion Type: Tank
There is a place between dimensions, between worlds. To some it is known as the
Outside, to others it is the Unknown. To most, however, it is called the Void.
Cho’gath is a creature born of the Void, a thing whose true nature is so
horrific most will not speak its name. Its fellows have been poking at the
dimensional walls for a crack, a way into Runeterra, where they can visit their
own personal paradise of horror upon the world. A way in they have found, as
something dark stirs in Icathia, perverting the summoning ritual – how Cho’gath
came to be here. Fortunately, the power of the summoning has chained Cho’gath to
the League of Legends, where it uses its Voidborn abilities to help decide the
fate of the world. It knows what it would choose, if given half the chance.
Cho’gath is a horrifying opponent. It is capable of
impaling not only its enemies, but those standing nearby on vorpal spikes. It
can also cause the earth beneath its foes to rupture, causing an explosion that
sends them flying. It can unleash an otherworldly scream that not only harms the
flesh of terrestrial creatures, but also silencing them for a time. However, and
perhaps most terrifying, Cho’gath not only drains the life from those it kills,
it can consume them whole, growing ever larger. There are those that wonder if
there is a limit to how large the beast can become.
Woe betide the day when Cho’gath grows weary of the
League.
