From here

Glad to see you're finally addressing Nidalee.

Do you guys have any news on reworks of the "bottom of the barrel" champions like Poppy, Sion, Urgot, etc? Would be nice to know they're not totally forgotten.

They're not forgotten.

From today's thread:

Hey guys,

RiotSeb here for the Champion Update team to give you a bit of insight into some of the projects our team is working on at the moment.

Karthus

Yeah yeah Seb, but what’s next? A note on our upcoming aims – with Heimerdinger, Twitch, and Karthus we’re closing out a stretch of art-focused updates and moving into a period where we’re shifting the emphasis to gameplay. This does not mean we’re abandoning art; Gameplay Updates will still be supported with visual retouches where necessary, and for our more comprehensive projects we’re looking at champions with outdated / irrelevant gameplay in addition to lagging visuals (i.e. a certain undead behemoth).

Everything mentioned below is tentative, not tied to dates, subject to change, delay, cancellation, etc. When updating everyone’s beloved champions, our overriding goal is to do the job right; speed comes a distant second. Seriously, Soon™, if you try to hold me to what’s said below I’m taking a poro hostage.

Sona

Fiora

Sion

Well, at least you got Sion in. Good for him! Glad to see progress is being made there. We should see the rework for the first time on PBE in a year or so.

Too bad there was nothing about Poppy. Or Urgot. It's been years and there's been nothing. There never will be anything.

Please refund Poppy and Urgot players' skins. There was no way for them to know that you would treat them this way. They supported you thinking you would eventually get around to their champion, and you couldn't fit a token mention into your big post on champion relaunches.

Not being next in line =/= being forgotten. What is it with everyone asking for refunds all day long suddenly?

She was forgotten, but they forgot the fact that they forgot her so that caused them to forget to mention the fact that she was, in fact, forgotten.
