The longest gap between champion releases to date was 3 months and 5 days between Tahm Kench and Kindred. As of right now we've gone 3 months and 12 days since the release of Camille which is the new longest record. Just found that interesting, and curious that they haven't even announced a new champion, since we're still a few weeks after announcement before its released. Here's to hoping we hear something soon.
At this point id rather no more new champions, seeing camille was their last release.
Maybe riot should not let interns design champions.
A lot of the reworks sort of feel like new champions. New Galio seems like he's going to be completely different from the old one, except for a few small gimmicks.
they stated like in january? i think that after camille there would be a longer gap since the start of this year they are focusing more on reworks and VGU's for other champions but towards the end of this year the new champ schedule should be back closer to normal
We got 2 full on reworks (as of next patch) they didn't really have enough time to introduce us to a new champion. But the good thing is that they got some extra time to work on their upcoming champ (and maybe they won't fuck him/her up) I am personally hoping to see a new (unique) assassin or an adc
They mentioned before the Galio rework release that the next couple new champs would come out rapid fire after he's cleared PBE.
They also consider large scale reworks like Galio to be equivalent to new champs in terms of how their design schedule works (that is, how they allocate assets for visual, audio, bug fixing, etc.), so not seeing a new champ in a long time is mostly because they aren't pushing for insane quantity of output 24/7.
I hadn't even noticed. There's so much else going on with Galio, the Tank Update, and the current issues League has. Do we really need another new champion so soon?
I honestly don't want any new champions... The game already has so many and they just create more problems.
and you want more annoying champions? No thanks
They want to release Galio first if I'm not mistaken
Honestly, I'm fine not being as pressured to buy the new champion, and being able to save Ip for those costy runes/rune pages
Good. No new overloaded or useless (NEVER IN-BETWEEN WITH RIOT) champs until they get these reworks live and bring some balance to the game
Kindred actually had teasers in game to keep us interested in who the new champion may be The next champion hasn't had anything done, so it has been a lot longer
I don't really care tbh. The last one was a nightmare imo. Ivern seemed like he was fine because he actually wasn't overtuned on release and even though he may be a strong champ now it doesn't feel like he is the type of champ you can grab and "lolmydmg" stomp games with while only having around 10 games on the guy.
They said soon they'll come with explanation why the time gap and also with reveal of the direction of the next champ.
TBH, this game cannot handle more champs. It's already hardcore dying under its own weight. I know way too many people that have left this game because of how shit the balance is and frankly just how crap the game has become, and part of the problem is the sheer volume of shit that Rito has created for themselves to balance. Better to rework outdated crap than add new stuff for the time being.
Hoping for an ap assassin but another support would be fun
