Recent rumors suggest that the Ruined King, or Viego, could be making his way into League of Legends. Nothing is confirmed yet, but the leak looks pretty convincing, and we are pretty pleased by the idea. The Ruined King would be a pretty cool addition to League of Legends, and we are keen to know how he might play.
PixelButts might have a bizarre name (or a really small arse?), but his / her leaks are quite the opposite of bizarre. The Twitter user has apparently found PBE files that were allegedly pushed through accidentally, and which are not currently live. Could this be League of Legends' latest champion?
In the series of Tweets, SmallButts... oh, sorry, Pixelbutts (synonym?) supplied a whole bunch of interesting content, including a visualization of the potential character, and a 50-second video showing the animations playing. It’s pretty exciting for all of us LoL fans out there, though we do question the name ‘Viego’, which is suggested by the file’s name.
Some of the animations are for the alternate skin, and theres another object not seen im just too lazy to set it up. Too much data on my plate right nowSo heres some of the animations just playing pic.twitter.com/ExM2EzjrnF

The guy's the Ruined King, so there’s no need to change the name. But, whatever. This looks super dope! Check out his sword, and that cool ‘wraith’ mask.
he also has a mask labeled as wraith. No idea whats going on here but i know what im looking for. Renders soon. pic.twitter.com/ySDpxES8Ig

The splash art is a tad odd, but we love it anyway. We are curious to see if this all turns out swell, or perhaps we’ve been bamboozled again?
Well looks like the Ruined King got pushed to the PBE? pic.twitter.com/zrWUcTOOqn
