As Riot Games recently confirmed, characters from the card game League of Runeterra (LoR) will have the opportunity to become champions in League of Legends. One of the standout names from LoR is Yone – Yasuo’s brother. Today, the community has uncovered a lot of evidence suggesting that Yone will be the champion appearing right after Lillia:
Details about the 2 lines of dialogue from Thresh with Yone are as follows:
“Worry not, Yone. Your little brother is safe with me, too.” (translated: Don’t worry, Yone. Your brother is safe with me too.)
“Yone, the eldest son overshadowed by his younger brother. How could you possibly rest in peace?” (translated: Yone, the eldest son overshadowed by his younger brother. How can you rest in peace?)
First, the existence of this dialogue is the most convincing evidence that Yone will soon become a champion in League of Legends. The clear indication is that the name Lillia appeared just a few days ago in the dialogues of League of Legends champions, resulting in Lillia being officially introduced by Riot Games today.
Next, regarding the content of the dialogue, the community believes that Yone has died as per the storyline (killed by Yasuo himself) and will return to League of Legends as a ghost or an undead, mysterious entity.
Additionally, there are leaked images of a character wielding dual swords, who bears a strong resemblance to the Spirit Blossom skin theme of Thresh, Yasuo, and many other champions. The background features 2 characters who look very similar to Yasuo and Yone in combat.
Notably, the sword in the background somewhat resembles the sword of Spirit Blossom Yasuo, differing only in the green and pink colors on the blade:
Furthermore, Riot Games has introduced 3 new champions for League of Legends, which will include a dreamy jungler, an assassin, and a marksman. Among these, Lillia is the newly introduced jungler, so it would be a bit unreasonable for Yone, who wields dual swords, to become a marksman. Thus, the highest possibility is that Yone will be the new assassin champion in League of Legends.
Riot Games also shared that the Spirit Blossom skin theme is a rather large theme, and many champions will have skins from this theme in the future. Among them, the 2 new skins for Riven and Kindred leaked in Lillia’s teaser are also part of the Spirit Blossom theme.
With this information, the community speculates that Yasuo’s brother Yone might appear during the upcoming introduction of new skins for Riven and Kindred.
