Riot Games introduces Milio, the new LoL champion

A new champion is coming to League of Legends. Riot Games has announced the imminent release of Milio after one of the longest-release droughts in recent times.

The company has already started with the official presentations of a character that will become the 163rd hero to set foot on the Summoner’s Rift, and it was first announced in August last year.

The question now is when he will be accessible to all players, which can be answered if we consider the process used to create the company’s releases. In recent years it has consistently used the same procedure to introduce new champions.

Milio release date

The release plan for new League of Legends champions has been the same for so long now; we can hardly remember how things used to be done.

In the week leading up to an update, Riot Games offers the first character preview. The hero enters the PBE after the patch’s release rather than being added to the game. The developers will analyze its performance there for about two weeks, fix any bugs, and then introduce it to the rest of the servers.

Thanks to this situation, many people can accurately predict the release dates of League of Legends champions that have come to the game in recent years.

But if you cannot do so, we will predict the possible dates. Remembering these approximate dates is essential, as Riot Games has not yet given an official confirmation.

• Skill reveal: March 8, 2023, or earlier
• Introduction on the PBE: Between March 8 and 9, 2023
• Introduction on all other servers: Wednesday, 22nd or Thursday, March 23, 2023

Finding out the specific date of a character’s reveal is the most complicated task. Usually, new League of Legends champions debut on Wednesday or Thursday of the patch release week.

Milio will arrive in version 13.6; this update starts on Wednesday, March 22, 2023. Traditionally, Riot Games activates the characters between 20:00 and 23:00, as these are the central working hours at the Riot Games offices in Los Angeles. This way, they can do so if they need to make a last-minute change.

An extraordinary champion enters League of Legends

The new League of Legends champion is a support with fire abilities that adds some unique elements to the game. He will be the first male warlock to appear in the game. He also comes from the Ixtal region, one of the Runeterra regions with the fewest characters.

Although his abilities have not yet been revealed, the community has always been delighted with the developments. Although new heroes in this position are not usually the most popular, all bot lane players will undoubtedly greatly admire him.
