You\u2019re probably wondering when this cute little dragon will be released, and we have the answer. Smolder is League\u2019s next marksman champion, bound to the bottom lane, just like Jinx, Kai\u2019Sa, and all other AD carry champions. This small champion gives off How to Train Your Dragon and Spyro vibes and hails from the eastern region of Runeterra, Camavor. This once-glorious kingdom has incredible lore. If Smolder is giving you cuteness overload and you can\u2019t wait to play him, here\u2019s when you can expect to see this brave dragon on Summoner\u2019s Rift. When does Smolder release on the League PBE? Smolder is currently live on League's PBE servers. In addition to Smolder, its debut cosmetics are also available on the PBE. Players who want to master the new champion before its official release can get a PBE account. During new champion releases, most players in ranked and normal matches try picking it as fast as possible. Unless you get the first pick or have fast fingers in general, it might take a while for you to consistently enjoy Smolder. With Smolder channeling toxic LoL solo queue energy with this hilarious voice line, he's already one of us. When does Smolder officially release in League? Smolder is expected to release in League with Patch 14.3 on Feb. 7, 2024. If Riot decides to delay the launch, the developer can pick another date from its 2024 patch schedule. The patch and the date were confirmed via the recent PBE previews. The 14.3 PBE cycle features Smolder and related cosmetics, meaning the new champion will likely hit the live servers with the same patch number unless there's last-minute delay.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Solder-League-of-Legends.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1084586"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2132"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1084586"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1084586\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1089707,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1084586\/revisions\/1089707"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1084595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1084586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1084586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1084586"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1084586"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1084586"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1084586"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1084586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
