Aphelios is League of Legends’next champion

Riot Games has revealed the next champion to join the League of Legends roster. His name is Aphelios, the weapon of the Faithful.

According to his backstory, Aphelios is a silent marksman from Targon that is guided by his sister Alune. Through her prayers to the moon, Alune is able to channel power to Aphelios which gifts him with an arsenal of moonstone weapons.

Aphelios’ reveal comes only two weeks after Senna was released. He was first teased last month as a moon-themed marksman with a variety of weapons. This could mean his weapons change based on the cycles of the moon.

Little is known about Aphelios right now besides his lore page and backstory. Since League of Legends is about to begin its preseason, it would make sense that Riot releases him soon. His addition to the game will help freshen things up.
