Most fans who have been following any news around champions know that the next League of Legends champion will likely be the next ADC. That is just it though. Until recently, many have believed the name of this new champion to be unknown. But now, leaks are showing that Nilah might be the next champion. Here is what is known about League of Legends Nilah and if they might be the new ADC.

According to the League of Legends roadmap the next champion coming out after Bel’Veth will be the new ADC. Other than some teaser images, nothing has really been shown about this character. They will likely be from or related to Bilgewater. The leaker, Big Bad Bear has been keeping people informed on what is coming. Below is what they’ve shown so far.

While many would question these leaks, Riot Games recently released a teaser.

As one can see, this champion is clearly in Bilgewater. Also, the outline of the champion looks very much like what has been shown by Big Bad Bear. This means that if their sources are correct this ADC may be melee instead of ranged.

This would be the first attack damage melee carry since technically Samira but she is also ranged. One could also argue Yasuo since he is used in the bot lane. The problem is that Yasuo was intended to be a mid laner on launch.

That would mean that Nilah, should they be the next bot laner, would be the first one intentionally made as a melee champion for that role.

Whether the champion is Nilah or not, the new ADC is rumored to be on their way soon. Keep it here at The Game Haus to stay up to date with the new champion and all things League of Legends.
