League of Legends: Wild Rift's 5.2 patch introduces three new magic-wielding champions

League of Legends: Wild Rift's 5.2 patch has been unveiled
Three new champions: Lissandra, Mordekaiser and Milio have been unveiled
There's also a new Hextech-themed Summoner's Rift to contend with

It's summer, and aside from time around the pool relaxing, going on holiday or otherwise, it's also a time for big additions to your favourite games. And the latest to introduce some big new updates for the summer is League of Legends: Wild Rift, which is introducing three new champions: Lissandra, Mordekaiser and Milio.
We'll go into the three new champions shortly, but some of you may be glad to learn that Rengar the Pridestalker and Kayle the Righteous are getting a major overhaul and some tweaks respectively. There's also, naturally, a host of new skins that we can't necessarily get into here, but rest assured your Wild Pass is going to be stuffed for summer.
Now, the new champions.
Into the Rift

The first is Lissandra the Ice Witch. Wielding the elemental power of Ice, she is the reclusive leader of the Frostguard. Mordekaiser the Iron Revenant meanwhile is an ancient necromancer who's died and been reborn so many times that nobody really remembers how he got his start.

Finally, there's Milio, who breaks up the trend of rather grim additions in this update by being a warm-hearted, healing-focused young man who works to help his family escape their exile.

The Hex Rift patch goes live July 18th and features a new Hextech-themed Summoner's Rift with changes to NPCs and a fresh coat of magitech paint. So be sure to check it out when it goes live!
