According to League of Legends tradition, whenever a new champion is released, an older champion valued at 6300 Blue Essence will be discounted to 4800 Blue Essence. Recently, with the release of Sett in patch 10.2, Jinx was the champion that received a price cut. And in the near future, as the 149th champion in League of Legends is introduced by Riot Games, the next name on the “clearance sale” list is none other than Yasuo.
For new League of Legends players, accumulating 6300 Blue Essence is not an easy task. In the past, we could grind IP through each match, but now to get Blue Essence, players must level up and rely on “luck” when opening Champion Capsules; only if they unlock a high-value champion can they exchange for a significant amount of Blue Essence to purchase champions.
Therefore, the discounting of older champions is a necessary move by Riot, allowing players more opportunities to experience champions. However, in the case of Yasuo, as the price drop makes it easier to own him, the Vietnamese gaming community has reasons to worry about the prospect of Yasuo flooding both normal and ranked matches, with a pick and lock speed faster than a crush rushing to get married.
Recently, there have been many theories regarding the 149th champion of League of Legends about to be released. Most gamers believe that Riot Games is likely to introduce Yone – the brother whom Yasuo himself killed – into League of Legends. As for why a character believed to be dead could appear in the game, Senna is the most understandable answer; if Riot wants it, they can resurrect him.
If this theory is correct, we will have an extremely interesting reunion on all fronts. Yone will undoubtedly be a swordsman similar to Yasuo, and the two share an irreconcilable feud, as Yasuo is the one who killed his brother, while Yone, before dying, still believed Yasuo to be a criminal.
Additionally, the appearance of Yone will directly cause Yasuo to… lose his value, so the confrontation between these two swordsmen will certainly bring many exciting things to the gaming community.
