The festive season hasn’t slowed down Riot Games one bit it seems. Two weeks ago, they teased Rek’Sai the void burrower – the incredibly terrifying shark… worm… thing. The champion is now available, and just in time for Snowdown too!
You can check out her reveal if you want to know exactly what she is capable of.If you’d prefer to be assaulted visually, you can have Riot walk you through a spotlight instead.
The largest and fiercest of her species, Rek’Sai is a merciless predator that tunnels through the earth to ambush and devour her prey. Her insatiable hunger has laid waste to entire regions of the once-great Shuriman empire. Merchants, traders and armed caravans will go hundreds of miles out of their way to avoid these vast areas, though cunning bandits have been known to lure the unwary into her killing grounds. Once Rek’Sai detects you, your fate is sealed. There is no hope of escape; she is death from below the sand.
I love how each champion Riot releases has some or other unique mechanic that really makes them stand out. Rek’Sai for example, can’t see too far when she is burrowed, but she moves a lot faster, and can detect enemy movement in a large AOE via her one ability, tremor sense. Her other abilities have different uses depending on whether she is burrowed or not.
The void burrower has arrived just in time for Snowdown, League of Legend’s festive event. It will run from the 16th of December through to the 6th of January. It’s a couple of days off, so in the meantime, you can download this cuddly teaser wallpaper.
Not if only a certain other developer I love dearly would stop making excuses, get off their arses, and pour some Christmas love into their title. That’s all I want for the festive season really.

BLOOD, VIOLENCE, MILD SUGGESTIVE THEMES, SEX, NUDITY, PROFANITY…
Im tired of this SHIT.
Little wonder the laymen will always stereotype our hobby.
I have been gaming for 30 years, it all started with a FULLY NAKED character wanting to consume ghosts. It progressed to PURE hand eye co-ordination (fight or flight) if you want to call survival as a DRAW into a kill streak of combo mayhem. Whoever has the fastest reflexes WINS. Why are we here after 3.5 million years of evolution? We had the faster reflexes. Hand Eye co-ordination is for winners.
My Hobby is still very young, but I am afraid that either I am just getting old, or I am tired of my hobby still living under the same banner as that PAC Man of wanting to consume everything in its site.
I understand and now appreciate Nintendo far more than I did back in the late 80s. There is only so much one can take of KILLING shit from the FUCKING COOL chainbotomy of Gears of War to the VIRTUAL TRUMP CARD CALLED ON-LINE MURDER SIMULATION “COD” Its fine, I understand the drive of 3.5 million years of evolution coming out in one kill combo.
But, come on gamers. We debate if out hobby should be classified under art but we still cant get over the per-adolescent flack that our hobby is nothing more than a mother nature device to teach us to be better predominant male killers.
THIS HOBBY is more succesfull than the most succsefful TV show in America that BEATS Oprah Whimper “WWE” The Romans were clever. Keep the peasents from revolting by subjicatimng them to violence. We now call it sport. Why do you think they sing the National Anthen before playing? ITS WAR
A revolution is needed in Western Gaming, the EAST has been story telling far beyond 200 years ago when the middle Eastern politicians divided to come up with some form to control the masses called THE BILE.
IM TORED OF KILLING SHIT. THE BIBLE SHOULD BE AN 18
IM DRUNK…
AND WRITING THIS to try and apease GEOF who loved my Friday night rants 5 years ago…
I lost the point…
Um…
yEH
Stop killing shit.
PS ALL ELFROOT MUST DIE@!!!!!!!!!!

Guys! You have to take a look at this http://lolbuilder.co.nf!
Like you will know doing a good build is really important in this game and if you don’t do it right your chances of winning drop down like crazy. If you’re stuck in bronze rank or you want to improve your skill this can really help you like it done with me!
Enjoy it! 🙂
