Is it going to be diving fighters like Irelia, Xin, Etc

Because every other class of champs has gotten changes afaik

Imo Champions who need it most:

Aatrox, Shyvana, Warwick, Xin Zhao, Irelia, Nocturne

Vanguards (which will likely also slightly impact Divers) Then Divers (which will likely also slightly impacts Vanguards) Then ???

After those I think supports might get a look at. Then maybe Wardens.

I'm hoping vanguards over divers actually.

There's a high likelihood that it'll be Divers, yes. I know already that the Diver update is planned and will feature Aatrox and Nocturne as 2 of the major things (Nocturne to be made into more of a Diver than an Assassin).

I think Aatrox/Irelia/Noc/Xin will probably get worked on

I don't think Jax and Lee Sin for a few reasons Riot tried to give Lee a rework way back and got huge backlash Riot has made tons of quotes saying they like Jax because he has windows you can exploit (when his E and R are on CD) and he has clear counterplay as he needs time to ramp up

most importantly is that jax doesn't need a rework except his E

his E is extremely counter productive and the system needs to be changed.

His dodge?

D357R0Y3R1 votes

yes, his E is supposed to be a "counter attack" but since none will attack you during E all jax players just use it before Q then jump and stun someone, this isn't a counter attack.

they should change it to: "every X seconds jax dodges an attack and can press E afterward to stun+damage people around him"

Jax probably would get a small tweak to help him out, but he needs a full VU and possible gameplay update. They've even hinted in an ask riot where somebody asked "why not give champs VUs" and they just say "sometimes champs like ali and jax just need full updates instead to visualize with flashy new kits".

He's a pretty stale champion like malzahar was, both may feel perfectly fine and awesome, but they're way past their time as old school champions and needed an update. (even tho new mal feels awful)

As with lee, idk if they can go as far as to touch rengar and leblanc this update I think they can handle lee mid season/preseason 8

Yea I agree

They'll give him a full VU for sure but idk how much they'll change his kit

They'll probably keep his E and R relatively the same with minor changes

If they change anything it'll be his W since that's the most boring

You won't see Irelia rework till 2018. Next is Warwick.
