Bel’Veth, The Empress of the Void | Champion Trailer - League of Legends

Man for how scary they were teasing her they really hit her with the goofiest attack animation

The disconnect between all the art vs gameplay in this company is unreal. Art nothing but bangers. Gameplay team gives us this goofy nonsense with I'm sure a balanced kit.

How much dashes do you want to have? Bel'Veth: *Y E S*

What I expected: The Overwhelming Queen with her minions like Kerrigan with her swarm from Starcraft What actually came out: Flapping stingray

I don’t know why, but it makes me laugh how with all the build up to play as the “Void Queen,” her main method of attack is slapping her opponents to death. Yeah, those slaps hurt, but it almost makes me wish her crits would be the queen backslapping as if to indicate this fight is beneath her.

In trailer: Wow, she looks like a badass villain Gameplay: ...Is she a ray that can slap others champions to death?

after the grace and horror she was emanating in the cinematic trailer this is just ridiculous.

Yes! Dashes, stuns, invulnerability... Everything that LoL neededn't!

I like Lore events a lot. Spirit Blossom was a huge success so I really do not get why Riot decided to do the same thing for Ruination but executed more poorly. A Void lore event is really exciting knowing we have no big updates on the region since maybe Vel'Koz's release since, let's be honest, Kai'sa was not a true void monster.

Just what League needs

The trailer and the teasers up to this were so good. That art style, getting a new void champ after forever. Looks so unique and promising. So disappointing that they just had to feed their addiction into making a mobile champion after not being able to with Renata Glasc. It seemed like her kit would be unique with the teasers we got with Vel and Mal. being able to corrupt or do something with void "magic". Instead her gameplay is inspired by Dawid Zalewski, the slap fighting champion.

She's just gonna win every match cause the enemy team won't be able to stop laughing at these animations 😂

I feel like claw hands wouldve been a good addition to her looking from the way she attacks. A viscous monster in disguise of a beautiful lady should totally have a great weapon to destroy her enemies with.

The Peak of League, unlimited dashes for a champion. Finally, a champion that surpasses Riven's 1 million dashes. Thank you riot, that's what we need!

If a slapping competition was a game mode in League, she’d be SS tier for sure.

I just notice that her legs never disappear when she goes monster mode, it kind of reminds me of Berserk where the apostles had their faces in a part of the demon body, but with the legs instead.

circle ability! line ability!! circle ability! wow so amazing! same sparkle effect as every other ability in the game! incredible.

Yes! Give us more monster designs please!!!!

I can't wait to see Bel'Veth being the first champiob being rework at her release

she's like old galio but instead of throwing spells, she throws her wings at you

After seeing her animations i think riot is joking, how can you give the empress of the void slaping animations? Like wtf she is the Void and should be elegant like in the trailer and all and a Monstee in her true form, the Queen of the Void does NOT slap and neither is the monster that she truly is slaping, wtf riot

She's nice and all, thoroughly disappointed, they gave her an amazing teaser and cinematic just to hit her with the goofiest attack animation, I thought her kit would be just summoning her little voidlings but I mean I have nothing to say

The geamplay team had a vastly different idea of how she was supposed to work in game vs in the lore

I don’t think people just don’t like her autoattacks(I am one of them I’m sorry), I believe people want her to be her, she is an intelligent and self-proclaimed empress, a royal creature. Giving her a slapping autoattack makes her also less royal. When you see her moving and autoattacking you don’t feel royal at all but just a void creature like the others who seeks only for violence. What I believe is that she can slap and fly like that but only after a certain level like idk maybe after level 16 when she leave all her royalty to reach what she really wants with all his power. Level 16 is perfect because if you go that late with an empress it means she is struggling, at that point she leaves all the royalty to get what she claims with all his power, before lvl 16 is royalty and intellect. It would fit even better considering both sides not just removing one with another

Bel'Veth: Empress of the Void Also Bel'Veth: Slaps everyone silly

So her transformation from semi human to monster comes from her consuming the things her enemies drop,her main mobility comes from her dash that can stack 4 times I might add,she has a darkin Kayne knock up,a skill that makes her immobile but has more attack speed,and she can make more spawns than yorick can.... Yeah they said that the kits of their champion aren't that overloaded....

When you cc her but her ability still goes through: "HOW CAN SHE SLAP!?"

I really didn't expect her kit to be like this and Idk how to feel about it lol

That's the actual matter with new champs since 2 years, it's soooooo funny to play them because they're broken af but playing against give massive frustration...The effect on the community will be hardcore again :v Well on a cool note, I really like the character tho, it will bring litteral fear in the game

"You crave SLAP." "I will SLAP this world clean." "I SLAP everything." *void-like shriek* "So hungry!" *SLAP-SLAP-SLAP-SLAP-SLAP* "All life will be re-slapped." "The SLAP will live!"

Cinematic was amazing. Cosmic horror is a tough genre to nail but they seemed to be heading in the right direction. This, unfortunately, ruins it. Way too silly.

Riot: We want to make an effort to make all champs more tanky, slightly. Also Riot: Bel'Veth

Really wanted more dash :D thx for this amazing new playstyle !

0:45 apart from the attack animation, in that fight she dashed *6* times… *ono*

love the sound effects on her ults :)

I like the design, we were long overdue for a new monster champion

i've just never been less excited about a new release

That feeling when even Cho'Gath abilitites look more interesting than whatever this slap and dash fiesta is.

I want a small glimmer of hope that there'll be a PvE, and we can have Bel'veth, other void champs, and the minions Bel'veth creates to be the ones we're fighting.

Riot, are you able to give Bel'Veths w a passive where every minute or so (lower the higher level), whenever it is cast and hits something, it spawns one of the voidlings depending on if the champion (Such as kayn's orbs with ranged and melee champions) and jungle camps. Also w makes the voidlings attack the target?

Finally a good content again. I always appreciated champion trailers. I remember when Blood Lord Vladimir or Demonblade Tryndamere trailer came out... Oh god that hype :D It's kinda the same. WP

Man I miss actual monster champs

Imagine how it will look if you make the maximum attack speed on her XD

Bel’veth in lore: legit entity of the void, an empress that can control void swamp and corrupt the whole city. Bel’veth gameplay: goofy manta rays floating and slapping around like a mindless creature.

I was hoping they would've given her a cool ability (similar to Warwick's ability to fear) that would utilize her head. that would've been pretty cool. but we got slappy fins instead.. which should be fun to slap towers really fast in urf lol. im kinda excited for this champ but it looks even more complex and overworked than the champs before it. looks kinda like a Fiora/Kai'sa/Kha'zix/Viego abomination. so we'll see how they work this champ in lol.

Can't wait for someone to make a full attack speed build

Here I come back to say: congratulations Riot on successfully betraying everyone’s expectations, Bel’Veth is an absolute failure!

Remember how old champs used to be? Good times.

This epic void queen... Is an auto attack champion with the goofiest AA animation ever. And she can get slapped around by a wolf on drugs or an ice troll

I already can feel how broken this champ will be….

I love her voice

Imagine when i'm in the junggle, then she ambush without warning, i might run, that's very terrifying

After watching her cinematic, this feels like an anime betrayal

seeing the teaser I expected something insane like never seen before. and then we get flappy birds here dashing and slapping

I kinda wish she was humanoid to start, and as she got more kills and became more powerful she gradually became more monstrous, Imagine how cool that would be

More dashes and knock ups is exactly what we've all been missing in League... =/

everything surrounding bel'veth hypes me more than bel'veth.

Hope they release more villain type characters

I like how her kit is similar to new irelia. dashes, absorb, atk spd.

I really didn't expect her kit to be like this and Idk how to feel about it lol

To be frank, a goofy auto-attacker is not what I expected from this supposed powerful being from the void.

So what happens if you also have a Viego on your team? Bel"s passive and Viego's are kinda alike

Edit 2: Due to the attention this is getting, I highly reccomend you guys check out the monster Wraith from Evolve Stage 2, I think wraith is a good example of how to make a Bel'veth look scary when attacking fast rather than a little goofy! Very cool concept and looks fun, but her attacks look too goofy for an empress of the void. I feel like she was supposed to look ravenous but instead looks slappy and silly. Edit: another thing is that her fiddlesticks drain looks more like a seizure, I think fiddle's drain captures the idea of a demon soul in a frail form barely holding itself together. I think the movements could be a bit more bubble in shape and slower to make it look more voidy rather than a muscle spasm Also, she seems to have a very interesting fiora like mechanic with that indicator next to her that disappears when you dodge in the corresponding direction. That'll be interesting to master

"These wings are rated E for Everybody" -Bel'veth probably

Malzahar is her prophet. She is his deity. Malzahar casts void in spells. She slaps. Malzahar can stun and silence and brainwash. She can gobble. Malzahar can summon entities that fight for him. So can she under specific circumstances. Either she gave Mal all of her abilities and is left fighting like a far lesser creature, or she prefers being a beast. Are we to believe the watchers are really incapable of preventing this villain, when she acts little more than a beast? Even Rek'Sai and Cho'Gath have void projectiles and manipulate the map. Yet she melee dashes and slashes. Not impressed, and far more let down than I was with Viego wearing a Danny Phantom cosplay instead of the Tolkien/ Lovecraftian horror he was built up to be. Here's hoping I'm wrong and she's actually fun to play.

Genuinely feels unfinished

yet another champion with more dashes.... when I think on my favorite champs no way to dash, no way to counter this much mobility plus get 1 shot without a way to fight back :D :D :D this is getting more and more "balanced"

I kinda wish she moved around similar to how Lissandra moves, very fluid and elegantly, and maybe only does her slappy slap as a manta ray during ult or something. It does look really strange

A dash, a knock up, oh and invulnerability. Riot games champ design at it's finest, just keep putting the balance team in a deeper hole.

The sound design here is excellent

Character? Fantastic and unique. Theme? Eerie and brilliant. Gameplay? The Slap™

Garen: spin to win Bel'Veth: slap to win

It's like watching that one dude that doesn't know how a gun works and starts using like a bat. That's the feeling I get watching her gameplay

the design was a random sting ray that can slap left to right while in the trailer was a badass queen with a serious anger management

One of the first reveals I saw of her. It starts off with the zoom in the purple eye. I remember I was so excited to finally see her. And then the gameplay shown is just her autoing a turret with her goofy looking wings. It honestly felt like a joke going from that level of atmosphere to a slapstick comedy

i can't believe I convinced myself that her wonky auto animations were just a playtest thing and that they'd get polished up before going live 😔

After seeing that attack animation, im for sure building Lethal Tempo.

We don't think Bel'Veth has an overloaded kit overall

I am sry I don‘t like the LOL game but I absolutly love their songs❤️😂

2 weeks after global release: "We feel she dashes through the ranks too quick, so we're toning down the number of times she can dash"

The disconnect between all the art vs gameplay in this company is unreal. Art nothing but bangers. Gameplay team gives us this goofy nonsense with I'm sure a balanced kit.

Riot: THIS WILL BE THE MOST EXCITING CHAMPION IN THE GAME GUYS! DASHES, DAMAGE REDUCTIONS, KNOCK-UPS, INCREDIBLE LORE, ALL YOU WANT IS HERE!!!" Gameplay: *slap slap slap slap slap*

Her Attack speed animation is too funny. 🤣

There's no way you got this all the way through to release and not a single person laughed at the attack animation

glad alot of people have same impression. I feel like been lead to the impression shes a dark sinister mage who sends swarms and traps people with the cinematics. not some fighter with slapstick goofy atks

can't wait to see how stupidly op she is and riot thinking that it's perfectly normal and that she is a balanced and fair champ with plenty of counter play

This whole comment section was so hyped for her release and then we get this... Mixed feelings to say the least

never forget to give her 10 dashes riot, we all love overly mobile champions

I really didn't expect her kit to be like this and Idk how to feel about it lol

I’m glad Davie504 is getting the recognition he deserves. Lets climb, SLAPPERS!

Everyone: "oh she slaps for an attack" Me: "Oh she really do have feet, that's explains the thighs in the splash art ..."

We need unique champ , not just a dash and airborne

Multiple dashes and resets? Just what i did expect from a new league champ

i was expecting more for one of the most stronger characters of the lore ;-; her special power is punching in a mudamuda style

Did the attack pattern already set in stone before they actually design champs? Bcuz if this were early Bel'veth, as in a human clad in mantray-esque void cape, the cape slapping would made more sense, because the human part could still swing elegantly. But that doesnt work with a whole mantaray slapping people.

THE VOIDE WHO LIVED HAS COME TO DIE

i do love the theme

Lore: Empress of the void, powerful and intelligent beyond mortals understanding, manifested with a twisted narcissistic personality, she craves for never ending conquest, destruction and chaos. who will never stop consuming until there is nothing left. In Game: SLAPPITY SLAP SLAP

yeah I dont know what I think about her. Would've thought she would fit more as a mage, sending swarms of fish drones to aid her in chasing enemies down and so on. I am not a huge fan of her attack speed style.
