A recent leak gave fans their first look at Riot’s new champion, Smolder, and he looks absolutely adorable!
Nothing excites League of Legends fans quite like the release of a new champion (except maybe a VGU). Now, a leaker has given fans a first look at the upcoming ADC that Riot has been teasing for a while now as nothing more than an egg and given us a name to call this cute little dragon, Smolder.
LoL: Leakers reveal a teaser for Riot’s new Dragon champion, Smolder
The leak was uploaded to YouTube as well as Twitter and showed pretty much the entire trailer that Riot was preparing to show off its latest creation.
The teaser opens with Smolder exalting the dragons (and himself) as they. It’s really cute how he tells this as a sort of fairy tale intro to what kind of epic dragon he wants to be.

Once he enters the frame, you can see that Smolder still has some work to do before he turns into the frame.
What’s really interesting is how his mother is also featured in the teaser, as Riot already mentioned, during their 2023 champion roadmap.

We’ll wait to get a real look at his abilities though, to find out if they actually include his mother in his kit.
