It’s a new day in League of Legends, as the lightning-infused champion Zeri is available now.
As part of the MOBA phenomenon’s 12th competitive season, Riot Games went ahead and released the 158th champion for League of Legends. Zeri is lightning-fast in that she literally zips around Summoner’s Rift by way of electrical powers. Kind of like Valorant’s new agent Neon, only instead of one-tapping poor sods from a bomb site, she’s hurling lightning bolts like this is Quake all of a sudden.
Riot Games also released a trailer detailing Zeri’s unique abilities and toolkit, which you can check out for yourself below. Her character skins certainly are stylish, even if there’s none referencing pop culture.

League of Legends has been a behemoth for years now, especially as it’s by far the most prominent global esport. The brand as a whole grew tons in 2021, though.
Be it between the hit Netflix series Arcane, which is getting a second season, or spinoffs like Ruined King — League of Legends isn’t just a game anymore; it’s a franchise. One that will almost certainly keep growing this year as more projects at Riot Games see the light of day.
