New League of Legends Champion – Yone – Is Live

The newest League of Legends update 10.16 introduces a new champion – Yone, the older brother of Yasuo. The champion is a melee character with high mobility and dive potential. Below are the champions abilities:

• Way of the Hunter [Passive]: Yone uses two blades, causing every second attack to deal more magic damage. His critical strike chance is also doubled, but his critical strikes deal reduced damage.
• Mortal Steel [Q]: Yone thrusts forward, dealing physical damage to opponents. On hit, he gains a stack of Gathering Storm. At two stacks, Yone can dash forward with a wave that makes enemies airborne.
• Spirit Cleave [W]: Yone cleaves forward in a massive arc, dealing a portion of the target's maximum health. After successfully hitting an enemy, Yone also gains a temporary shield. The shield's power increases per champion struck.
• Soul Unbound [E]: Yone can enter his Spirit Form, gaining movement speed and leaving his body behind. When Yone's Spirit Form expires, he'll snap back into his body and deal a percentage of all the damage he dealt while in Spirit Form.
• Fate Sealed [R]: Yone strikes all enemies in his path, blinking behind the last enemy hit and knocking everyone airborne towards him.

Besides the new champion, the update introduces a number of balance changes that can be found on the official website. The blog post also mentions that the developers are taking a break, which means that next update will be released later than usual.
