@Riot: Any thoughts on a female Juggernaut Champion?

darkdill··3 votes·807 views

Leona was made to address the lack of a female tank, Fiora was for melee ADC's, but presently we don't have any female Champion who can really qualify as a juggernaut. Only one who's close is Shyvana , but she still has Burnout and Dragon's Descent for mobility, so I don't count her as one.

Any plans on gender equality for juggernauts?

They've explicitly stated that they want to do some work on Shyvana to make her a juggernaut like they did for Garen, Darius, Mordekaiser, and Skarner. They said they wanted to work on Olaf as well.

Wow really? I'm really excited then. I love Shyvana, and I wish she was able to be played more in top lane.

I really like the idea of her as a juggernaut.

SHE ALREADY IS ONE

Like I said, her having Burnout and Dragon's Descent mean she doesn't count. Besides, even if she does, why only Shyvana?

Shyvanna is a juggernaut. The speed boost doesn't negate it, and her ult having a little bit of mobility doesn't either. Stylistically she's pretty similar to Skarner honestly. She's a juggernaut. Another one would be cool though I guess, though I'm not really expecting a lot of new champs to be juggernauts in the future.

...Poppy?

I believe that's the direction of the Poppy Rework. I'd prefer it doesn't happen like that though, Poppy is strong as she is, she just needs some updating to bring her up to pace with the likes of Kalista, etc.

Poppy isn't being reworked because she's too weak, lol.

The reason why they are reworking Poppy is because of how strong she would be if they just tweaked her current kit. If you thought Skarner was broken after his juggernaut update, Poppy would become the old Kassadin when it came to ban rates. Nearly 100%

no rivens more of what riot calls a light fighter. she's very mobile has a lot of damage but without her shield she's pretty squishy.

Fiora is one of the "juggernaut" type characters because of that %health true damage and insane chase while building tanky.

By that logic you could call tank/devourer Vayne a juggernaut, but whatever.

She's considerably squisher even if she does go some what tanky she's still gonna have 2-3 ad items where as garen/Darius/skarner will build maybe one ad item and go full tank. Also she's more than a "proximity threat" as riot describe them. She has quite high mobility and higher damage in comparison to the others. Oh and she was released before riot ever mentioned the juggernaut changes.
