League of Legends Leak Hints at New Champion “Locke” From Demacia

According to recent leaks shared by Big Bad Bear and the League of Legends Leaks & News account on X, the next champion set to join League of Legends may be named Locke. The leakers claim that the champion is expected to be officially revealed in an upcoming motion comic, reportedly scheduled for release next week.

Based on the available information, Locke is believed to be an AP-focused champion with an Assassin or Bruiser playstyle, potentially drawing comparisons to champions such as Ekko or Diana. While exact gameplay details remain unconfirmed, early indications suggest a mobile and aggressive kit centered around magic damage.

Petricite Weapon and Demacian Origins

In the leaked illustration, Locke is depicted wielding a dagger-like weapon that appears to be made of petricite, a well-known anti-magic material within Demacian lore. Petricite was first discovered by Demacia’s earliest settlers as part of a petrified forest and is formed from fossilized wood altered by Runes.

This distinctive white material has the ability to absorb and dissipate magic, making it a defining element of Demacian architecture and culture. It is commonly used in the construction of buildings, statues, and weapons designed to counter magic users, further reinforcing Locke’s apparent connection to Demacia.

Demacia’s 16th Champion

If the leaks prove accurate, Locke would become the 16th champion from Demacia, one of League of Legends’ most iconic regions. Demacia is already home to several fan-favorite champions, including Garen, Lux, Sylas, Xin Zhao, and Jarvan IV. Adding Locke to the roster would expand the region’s representation and appeal to both competitive players and lore enthusiasts.

League of Legends Champion Roster Continues to Grow

League of Legends currently features 172 champions, with recent additions including Mel, Yunara, and most recently, Zaahen. Each new release continues to add depth to the game, introducing fresh mechanics, synergies, and strategic possibilities across the ever-expanding roster.

As always, players will have to wait for official confirmation from Riot Games to learn more about Locke’s abilities, role, and release timeline.
