The development team at Riot Games is delivering a new full video for its new hero Vel'Koz and more details on the powers that can be used by those players who are willing to use the newly introduced character in matches.

He is described as, “A Void beast who kills to learn and learns to kill, the Eye of the Void lets nothing come between him and his ultimate prize: knowledge.”

Vel'Koz is focused on ranged attacks, with Plasma Fission and Void Rifts constituting its main attacks and a Tectonic Disruption ready to use when any enemy comes too close and threatens the hero.

Riot Games says that repeated successful attacks will increase a Deconstruction stack which allows the character to get info on his opponents and, once they become primed, to launch a Life Form Disintegration Ray that will destroy all those who are directly in front of him.

League of Legends is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena title that is entirely free-to-play and relies on the launch of new heroes and the rotation of older ones to generate revenue.

The game is competing with DOTA 2 from Valve for the number one position in its genre and Blizzard will also compete in the category with its upcoming Heroes of the Storm.
