League of Legends Champion 2022
The League of Legends developers posted a video on August 12 introducing the forthcoming Champions in PreSeason 2023. In a Reddit thread, Riot Reav3 gave more information about the next champions' release schedule and upgrades.
The highly anticipated Aurelion Sol CGU and K'Sante are expected to be released during the early preseason, which might be at the end of this year or at the beginning of the following year. Furthermore, it has been claimed that Ahri's ASU will debut in the first few months of 2023, as many of her skins still need to be updated.
The male Ixtal enchanter will then be the next champion, preceded by the Darkin Assassin.
In the video, further information about the next tank top laner champion was disclosed, including that it would be quite powerful.
We recently got our last champion, Nilah after Bel'Veth and now we have our Tank Top Laner scheduled for the next patch.

League of Legends Tank Top Laner - KSante
The impending tank top laner in League of Legends was first hinted at as a "new high skill top lane tank from a region of Shurima that hasn’t been seen yet" in the April 2022 champion roadmap.
"We looked at our tank roster and realized we didn't have like an Aphelios, Azir, or Yasuo of top lane tanks," said Lead Champion Producer Ryan 'Reav3' Mireles while addressing the Pride of Nazumah, KSante.
The new Shurima region "that hasn't been seen yet" features colorful structures and lush greenery. The developers have also hinted at the possible name linked to this highly odd scenery of Runeterra's desertic region: The Pride of Nazumah.
Earlier, on Reddit, the developer said, "They're medium to low skill and complexity."
"With this champion, the idea was to finally bring a high-skill/high-complexity tank to the lineup. Something that gamers who enjoy that sort of thing can really get their teeth into and master over the course of hundreds of games."

League of Legends tank top laner - KSante Abilities
Riot hasn't revealed any details on the League of Legends' new tank top laner - KSante skills or gameplay.
However, the lore of K'Sante shows or at least suggests what powers he may possess. K'Sante wields an intriguing weapon according to his lore. It was made from the hide of the Ntofos, the fiercest beasts in the Shuriman desert. It is a large blunt object the size of a bat or hammer.
Since they are initially incredibly protective before breaking, it is a special kind of weapon. A highly sharp blade that can rip through anything in its path is shown when they break. Many gamers believe that the addition of this new weapon will allow for simultaneous use of offense and defense, effectively transforming K'Sante into a dual-class that can act as both a tank and a skirmisher.
Reav3 also characterized the upcoming 162nd champion as someone "who a new high skill top lane tank from a region of Shurima," which might suggest that KSante will be totally level up the alley of those wishing to add additional flair to their gameplay while also being nearly unkillable.
Riot can't reveal that information because KSante kit is still in development, and it's too early for anyone to predict with any real certainty. And while the developers haven't revealed any specific tank top laner - KSante abilities, one thing is clear, the top lane tank from a region of Shurima will be quite skill-expressive.
We will make sure to update the article whenever Riot decides to drop in new info about this new League of Legends KSante's abilities.

League of Legends tank top laner - KSante appearance
The in charge of the development of LoL Champion 162, KSante, developer Daniel 'Maxw3ll' Emmons previously noted that they'd be a little more resource-intensive than other top-lane tanks, which can be vulnerable to low gold yet still be effective in battle.
"The current tank roster has a lot of easy-to-follow tendencies and approaches to fights in comparable ways. With this character, we wanted to make a tank that appeals to players who enjoy deep mastery curves and characters who put their skills to approach fights in creative ways to the test.
He further added, "I'm not going to delve into specifics because we're still a long way off and not everything is finalized, but we're looking to make them more gold-dependent than other tanks.
League of Legends Nazumah
Nazumah is one of the rare places that do not submit to Azir's control. One of the few sources of water in Shurima is where Nazumah is located. As a result, K'Sante had to fight off enormous creatures just to remain hydrated. They finally seized control of the oasis and even created an entire society there.
We have no additional information on Nazumah beyond what we can observe by gazing at the photo because this is an unknown part of Shurima's enormous geography. There are a few areas with enough water, mountainous regions, and near to the sea if you look at the interactive map of Runeterra and focus on the Shurima region.
One of these places is an unnamed peninsula off Shurima's southern tip. That little location is far enough away from the other locales mentioned in League legend to serve as a potential home for the next Pride of Nazumah champion.

Fans will undoubtedly want to learn more about this champion despite the fact that his name and his abilities have already been revealed. K'Sante will probably hit the Rift sometime in September or October because Udyr will be released soon and Aurelion Sol will be released in December.
However, an exact patch and KSante's release date have yet to be determined.
