Which LoL champion says ‘If I command the rivers to flow backward, they shall’?

Honestly, I almost forgot this League of Legends champion existed before coming across today’s LoLdle quote—and even then, I struggled to come up with the answer. When I think of rivers, I think of one champion, but I was wrong. Here are some hints to help you get the answer.

LoLdle quote April 24 hints

Hint 1: This champion hit the live servers in 2019.

Finally, a relatively new League champion. It feels like we’ve had OG after OG this past week. Saying that, 2019 was six years ago—oh no, I feel old. Riot Games released five champions that year, including Yuumi and Sylas.

Hint 2: This champion is a mid laner.

This champion is probably supposed to be a mid laner, but they spend their fair share of time in the jungle. They are a high-skill champion who appears to perform better in higher ranks. They have a 51 percent win rate in Emerald and above and a depressing 47 percent in Gold.

Hint 3: This champion is from Ixaocan.

Ixaocan sounds like an ancient Mexican city, but it’s not. It’s apparently somewhere in Runeterra. This clue is a big giveaway because only one champion is from this city. Ixaocan is a jungle city, reminiscent of somewhere like Wakanda.

Still need help? We have the answer.

Who says “If I command the rivers to flow backward, they shall”?

Answer: The champion who says “If I command the rivers to flow backward, they shall” is Qiyana, Empress of the Elements.

I knew next to nothing about this champion from a gameplay and lore perspective, making it a tricky quote. But since she’s the “Empress of the Elements,” it makes sense that she can command the rivers to flow backward. The more you know.

How many guesses did it take you to get to Qiyana? Let us know in the comments below and check back tomorrow for the next LoLdle puzzle!
