League of Legends New Patch Releases Ornn, Adds New Game Mode

Riot has finally revealed the new patch 7.17 and they are bringing us the long-awaited champion Ornn, “The Fire Below The Mountain“. Along with the new champ, they added a new game mode called Invasion, they have also have made some minor nerfs and buffs on few champions and released new five Star Guardian skins.

Ornn, The Fire Below The Mountain.

The most interesting thing about Ornn is that for the first time in League of Legends a champion can spend gold to forge non-consumable items anywhere. That means that he can buy items anywhere on the map. Additionally, he can do masterwork upgrade for some items that could be available for him and his team to purchase. His abilities are really interesting and fun.In my opinion, he is one of the most interesting champs in the game.
