League’s newest champion Renata has been trending on Twitter today after a series of leaks revealed lots of new information about the champ. Now, Twitter users have discovered a leak of Renata’s abilities, giving us an idea of what the brand new support champion does.
New Champion Renata Abilities Rundown
Very recently, Twitter users started circulating an image that seems to show Renata’s abilities. The image includes very high-quality ability icons, as well as a rundown of what each ability does. Given the quality of the image, it seems pretty likely that this is a real leak.
The abilities were translated from the original leak, which was written in another language. Here is our best guess of what her abilities do, based on the somewhat poor quality of the translation.
Passive – Leverage: Renata’s basic attacks mark enemies. E deals extra damage to marked enemies. Allied attacks consume the mark and deal extra damage.
This sounds like a pretty standard support ability; Mark your enemies so your allies can do extra damage. This will probably have a somewhat long, likely 20 second + cooldown to it.
Q – Handshake: Renata fires a missile from her robotic arm and immobilizes the first enemy hit. She can then reactivate the ability to knock back the enemy in a direction of her choice.
This sounds like a fun hook mechanic, which would make Renata a hybrid between a hook support and enchanter. Depending on the range of the knockback, Renata might be in line to compete with Blitz and Thresh. The knockup also adds extra synergy with Yasuo and Samira.
W – Bailout: Increases the movement and attack speed of Renata and an allied champion. If the allied champion gets a takedown, the duration of the buff is refreshed. If the allied champion dies, they will be revived (?)
This sounds like a pretty basic buff, with a uniquely powerful twist. While the language is incomplete and poorly translated, I imagine it has a similar effect to Chemtech dragon buff or Sion passive. If this is a full revive, Renata will definitely be a contender for one of the most powerful supports in the game.
E – Loyalty Program: Renata fires several missiles that shield allies, deal damage and slow enemies. The missiles can be used as an AOE around her or charged into a missile with an explosion at max range with the same effect.
This sounds like a simple AOE spell that can be charged for additional range. A fun enchanter ability, wait to see damage scaling to see how dangerous Renata is in a 1v1.
R – Hostile Takeover: Renata sends a cloud of chemicals that induce enemies in a frenzy. All enemies hit will have their attack speed increased but will be forced to attack everything around them.
This sounds like an incredibly interesting ult; An AoE Taunt effect that targets all nearby creatures, including other players. This could be a nightmare for a team with a fed ADC, who with one cast of Renata’s ult could wipe out their entire team from their own backline.
That’s everything we know about Renata’s ability leak. Stay tuned to find out how much of this proves to be real, and be sure to check out our other League of Legends news and guides.
