Vex, the newest League of Legends champion, debuted on Summoner’s Rift in Patch 11.19. Despite the fact that she will be initially barred from competing in professional matches during the 2021 World Championship, we are already seeing glimpses of her potential in the hands of the best players during their livestreams.

This is the case of Rookie, an Invictus Gaming mid laner. Despite the fact that he will not be present at Worlds, fans can still watch his matches in solo queue. It’s common for newer champions to be complex and require a high level of skill, but Vex doesn’t appear to be that complicated—at least not according to Rookie.

According to a translation by HUPU Esports on Twitter, Rookie said during a match, “I can destroy this Katarina with one hand.” “I’m not bluffing; I can beat this champ with just one hand.”

Rookie appears to believe that playing the Gloomist does not require much skill. While it is common for new champions to be dominant because other players do not yet know how to counter them, only time will tell whether she will rise or fall in the meta.

Vex, the Gloomist, has now been added to League’s client in League Patch 11.19. You can unlock her for 7,800 Blue Essence or 975 Riot Points and see for yourself how complex she is.
