PC Games MOBA Interview with Morello

Posted on at 6:24 PM by Moobeat

PC Games MOBA, a German gaming magazine, recently conducted an interview with Ryan "Morello" Scott where he mentioned some interesting tidbits about League of Legends; a new champion with "gravity influencing abilities", Dark Sovereign, and much more.
While the original article is in German, here is a brief summary thanks to redditor DarkX2:
  1. At Gamescom players will be able to play a new champion with "gravity influencing" abilities
  2. A champion named Dark Sovereign is mentioned, that explores new gaming mechanics
  3. He is very pleased that at tournaments about 70% of all champions are constantly picked/banned
  4. Regarding Pulsefire Ezrael - if players like it, we will see more of it. They are checking numbers
  5. They are investigating implementing a system to reward good behavior similar to DOTA2
  6. About season 3: He mentions the pro-league with player salaries, hd stream
As Gamescom 2012 runs August 15th through the 19th, looks like we'll have to wait a few days for this fancy new Gravity based champion, who, assuming Rengar was a genuine leak, doesn't sound like someone who would don a bonetooth necklace.

Also, the mere mention of Dark Sovereign, who we first saw hidden away in the 6-8 PBE, has me teeming with excitement. There are a lot of fan  theories spawned purely from the name and the void type spells that accompanied the original leak - Kog'Maw's Daddy, Kassadin's Daughter, etc. What are your ideas for the mysterious void champion who explores new game mechanics?
