Warwick update is next right!?

{quoted}

He is not. Shen (mainly just a gameplay update) is likely to be up next, followed by Taric (full visual/gameplay/sound etc update). Warwick's a possible candidate after that, and a champion we've talked about, there are some other really strong candidates too though (Yorick especially could really use the work).

Shen is perfectly fine and is a good top laner with current keystones. Why not fix yorick mori? He will be all alone now that poppy is back into rotation. Bring yorick mori waifu back to the non-rotation zone!

Can we have some small teaser of what's Shen's new Q & W going to be?

Do you guys have any current plans for yorick? I had a crap ton of ideas for a kit update on him but wasn't sure how open you guys would be to reading another one of my 3,000+ word posts.

He is not. Shen is almost certainly up next, with a primarily gameplay update. He'll probably be followed by Taric, who we're planning a full visual/gameplay/sound etc update for. Warwick's a possible candidate after that, and a champion we've talked about, there are some other really strong candidates too though (Yorick especially could really use the work).

Would Yorick be considered full visual/gameplay/sound like Taric?

In my opinion Shen's Passive, E and R are fine. Q could be changed I guess and W is useless after 20 minutes.

Who's Yorick?

What about Urgot or Fiddlesticks?

Yorick is getting a Sion level update though, right? Does that mean you plan to give Warwick a Sion level update, as well? You guys usually claim that lower tier updates can be worked on concurrently with these very large ones.

I guess: what is the deal with ww's eventual update?

lmao How is Shen slated before WW and Yorick? Shen is being played a lot in solo queue, and even competitive. In what world does he need to be up next over WW or Yorick? He has no broken mechanics for good or bad, unlike what you guys Felt Sona had (when she didn't need a rework) or Olaf (when he didn't need a rework either) or Skarner (who you guys keep making worse and worse somehow, poor guy).

Seriously, what is the reasoning behind Shen over so many actually deserving (and in the case of WW right now, actual need) champs.

What about Talon? He's been untouched for months, years now.

Meddler, please, I'm dying to know- Is Urgot's update still in the works? Last we heard about it was when the Ekko: Seconds teaser was released and Vesh confirmed that the Zaunite thug isn't Urgot and that he [Vesh] is the main (or one of the main) designer(s) of Urgot's update. I've asked this a few times already but got no answer. ;n;

Yours sincerely, a long-time Urgot fan

Yorick's been the poster child for unhealthy gameplay and not allowed to function as a strong pick, hasn't recieved a skin for the entirety of his existence, and has been removed from the free rotation because he's so terribly unfun to play against and bad for the game.

You just said he's a strong candidate, and not a priority. This, reworks like Cass and Morde's, and frequent overnerfs/buffs is why people really question Riot's decision making and priorities.

It's just getting so bad lately.

Do we have any guess as to the progress of Shen's update? Like, will we hear more about it in the next 2 weeks or 2 months? Even something like, "we are really close to nailing his kit, but probably won't have any info on it till end of January or later..." would be cool.

Im excited for this update, so I'm always looking for more info! :)

Please, Please put Yorick as a top priority, it feels disgusting that riot pays so little attention to him because they said he is 'anti fun' and left him in a pile of overnerf like that. I thought by saying he was the most anti fun pattern character in league he'd get reworked so everyone can have fun with and against him, not super nerfed for years now. Its like when you guys were going to rework Evelynn.

Also, whenever I play/see warwick it hurts me to see that the fantasy behind a werewolf character is reduced to a slap fight rather than a violent force of magical nature but from what little faith I have left in you guys I at least hope both Yorick and Warwick get their rework next year (or at least work started).... Rather than giving people like Garen, Darius and Mordekaiser (specially morde) who no one asked to be reworked got reworked over Yorick and Warwick who need the most work.

Why is it okay for you guys to just icebox these two who you have to nerf whenever they're good?

(I understand people like poppy taric and sion getting work before them though)

EDIT: I am starting to wonder if you guys don't just rework the popular champions because you KNOW you can make money off of their skins.

WHAT ABOUT URGOT-SENPAI?

"Upcoming this year, we'd like to focus much more on these long term marginalizations. Shaco is my top pick, with Alistar, Poppy (even though she's crazy with gold right now) Sion, Warwick and Zilean, with Urgot somewhere in there too. "

May I ask why he is so low in terms of priority? As it stands he is older than both Taric and yorick. is it a combination of effectiveness or a lack of direction?

I ask primarily because of the teaser kit for him 2 years ago that was halted on the issue of visual update requirements.

Are you kidding me.. You guys said taric was next. Are you freaking serious. What is with you guys and supports. Do you hate us or something?

Will his joke stay the same, so that he may stay true to his roots to Jem and the Holograms?

Don't you think Cassiopeia should be made a priority since her rework was so bad? It seems like you guys should make sure you've done something right before moving on to a new project.

First Riot talked about the Warwick rework was April 2014. Didnt you keep anything of the ideas you had back then? Reminder: Passive - AAs deal 2% of targets max hp magic damage and heals WW for 5 +0,9-1,8% bonus hp, every hit gives a stack up to 10, each stack increases self heal by 11%, stacks fall off after 1,8 sec Q - Double Attack that procs onhit effects twice and increases ur passive healing W - Terrifies away from the center of the effect for 0,75sec E - Your standing at point A, click B, Warwick dashes A->B->A damaging all enemies in his path (+95% slow for 0,25sec) and you can use W or Smite while dashing R - Works like Sejuani Q but stuns first target hit for 2,5sec attacking 6 times (180/240/300 + 90% AP dmg), procs ur passive 6 times +18% of targets max hp as magic dmg

Warwick could use an update, but I imagine that Riot is a bit concerned, seems how he's a recommended starting champ for a lot of newer players. How would a rework affect his accessibility? I like the idea that he's a tankier, simpler version of rengar, where his job is to spot low champs and help clear them. It would be tough to keep the essentials of his gameplay while giving younger players an accessible, realistic experience of higher tiers.

Rengar is very different in terms of design from Warwick. Rengar is ability oriented, much more mobile, with much more damage.

Warwick is the simplest character in the game, and there is absolutely no need to make him so simple when it also means he has no effectiveness and horrible balancing issues.

New on hit item? Warwick breaks it.
