[OPINION] The future of new champions
Xayah and Rakan, the first ever dual champion release. Sure, some champion releases have been close together, but none have ever been together. It's a bit early to ask ourselves if this was worth it, but my humble opinion is resoundingly YES! That feeling of being able to learn lots of new skills and playstyles is certainly enticing, but with a multi-champ release, it's a much more exciting feeling.
When New/Reworked champions are released, it's a big rush centering around these champions. It's whoever can pick that champion first, try them out first. (Doesn't work in ranked, bans, inexperienced noobs, blah blah blah). But seeing multiple new champs in a game, and not having any clue how the game will turn out? That's a priceless feeling. It's like peering off a cliff, and jumping. Scary, hectic, crazy, but exciting nonetheless.
Again, opinion here, but I would like to see more of this in the future. It does take more time inbetween champion releases, but I think it's worth the payoff. The VGUs seem to be in the spotlight right now, and this is the perfect time for Riot to explore this new model. We might even be privvy enough to experience a triple champion release some day! Bit of a fantasy, but I think it would be very interesting. I just feel like if you agree, and that we should have more synchronised champ releases, then let it be known! What do you think?
