The hit MOBA League of Legends, developed and operated by Riot Games, features 166 playable champions as of this writing.
While each has a unique appearance and backstory, I anticipate the first new champion of 2024 will be especially popular.
Riot Games has released a teaser video for the new champion, Smolder.

Dragon’s fire can beats ANYTHING!
Well… Anything that burns?
The League of Legends YouTube channel and official X (@LeagueOfLegends) account released the teaser video.
The video features a small, cute dragon named Smolder, who boasts about the greatness and strength of dragons.
Champion roadmaps released in April and October 2023 hinted at Smolder’s existence.
Since the developers introduced him as a small and cute marksman “so far,” perhaps he transforms during a match.

The teaser video also reveals a connection to Camavor, the fallen birthplace of Viego.

Fans are swooning over his cute voice and every move, and I am curious about the voice actor behind the character.
The current season ends soon, and ranked games for the new season begin on Wednesday, January 10, 2024 (JST).
With major changes coming to Summoner's Rift and the item system on that day, it is time to start preparing.
Keep an eye on the League of Legends official X (@LeagueOfLegends) account for follow-up news on Smolder.
