Fiddlesticks, Sivir, and Zyra have been confirmed to be the new champions for patch 4.4.

Fiddlesticks would be best suited for Jungling due to his powerful mage abilities that allow him to drain the health of enemies and deal strong area damage. He was released on October 25.

With Sivir, her marksman abilities will grant her additional attack speed, movement speed, and spell benefits. This would enable her to become a potent ADC pick that can be useful in the late game.

Zyra possesses a formidable, nature-inspired skillset that empowers her with the ability to hand out devasting damage. Zyra would be a great champion as a support or mid-lane pick.
