Aurora’s earlier iteration in LoL served as inspiration for Sylas, other champions
Riot Games officially confirmed Aurora is the newest champion joining the League of Legends today. The Witch Between Worlds has been in development for seven years and had countless iterations, one of which laid the foundation for Sylas.
Aurora’s creation has seen numerous concepts, but her original design saw her as a summoner who could call pets or animals to aid her. But this version failed to deliver the engaging gameplay Riot was aiming for, as Lexi Gao, lead champion producer, said when presenting the new champion behind closed doors to the media.
