New champion Blitzcrank joins the fray! Even in a fighting game, this grappler who uses throwing moves such as pulling opponents in with his Rocket Grab will make an appearance.
Champion Mastery: Get Rewards for Sticking with the Same Champion
A new Champion Mastery system has been implemented, allowing you to unlock avatar costumes, player titles, stickers, taunts, and more by progressing through champion-specific missions. The system, which rewards players who master a single champion, carries on the spirit of League of Legends.
