What do you guys want the next VGU after Nunu to be?

Kairoptra··5 votes·3,707 views

Not too long ago, Reav3 commented that the next champion roadmap will be posted after Akali’s release. That said, there are three topics that we know for sure we’ll be getting information on: the next new champion, the Nunu rework, and the rework after him. Although whoever it is is already set, I thought it’d be fun to see what you guys predict/want it to be.

A few months back, Reav3 also commented about what he believed to be the top-tier VGU list:

{quoted}

I would say the current pool after Akali/Irelia are

DrMundo Corki Chogath Fiddlesticks Kayle Kennen KogMaw Nocturne Mordekaiser Nunu Pantheon Rammus Skarner Shaco Udyr Volibear

These are the ones we generally discuss talk about these days when we go into early ideation on new VGUs. Some more then others, but all of these would make sense at this point, for various reasons. Obviously Kayle would be paired with a Morgana, should we end up working on her.

I’ve created a straw poll (excluding Nunu, obviously) to gather your thoughts on the matter (since the polls on the Boards only let you have 10 choices), linked here: https://strawpoll.com/braxh2ca

I personally will be voting for Nocturne. Right now, he just doesn’t give off the whole “living nightmare” vibe. I just find his design kind of basic. I would love to see what kind of demonic monstrosity the current art team would turn him into.

There are a handful of these that I would rule out since they got minor GUs relatively recently (e. g. Cho’Gath, Volibear, etc.), but don’t let that hinder you. Vote for whoever you want! I’m eager to see the results!

Based on what has been happening with the game lately regarding lore, I think the best bet for a rework is Pantheon . Aatrox's lore is directed at him. The Targonian lore was a little altered because of Aatrox. Thats my top bet. Honestly, he doesn't play poorly. He is extremely one dimensional but he doesn't play poorly.

My runner up picks are Kayle and Morgana. These two are for gameplay and lore reasons. It ties in very well to what has been done in the lore.

Personal picks are Pantheon , Olaf , and Nocturne . I would just like to see these champions reworked. Playing them can feel monotonous after a while but I am sure others have differing views on this.

Maybe make Kayle and Morgana aspects aswell? Their old lores are bad and they could fit in Mont Targon

Ryze of course, then comes Mordekaiser , and Ryze again.

Well, it can't be a Jungler. And they'd probably prefer it not be a Tank/AP Bruiser, like what Nunu is.

I'm gonna guess either Pantheon or Kennen

After them, I'd say either Mordekaiser or Fiddlesticks

Best chances are Pantheon in my eyes because a.) he has tremendous potential (he is a god of war) b.) his kit is very outdated and frustrating to play against and c.) he has a lot of influence on the current focus of the lore.

Tryndamere, Fiddlesticks or Pantheon. Mordekaiser is ok too.

I think there's been some strong hinting that we'll be getting Morg/Kayle rework sooner rather than later, though they've also said that morg needs more visual than kit polish. Otherwise I think Morde definitely needs it the most.

Pizza feet for sure Mordekaiser though I think XD feet needs it more Pantheon because his gameplay is far worse

Malphite or Voli is what I'd like to see, but they're both quite unlikely

Whichever is strongest/most picked out of Fiddlesticks, Kennen, and Heimerdinger when they're ready to get to work on it.

Change the everlasting fuck out of their kits, please. None of these three champions are interactive or healthy in the slightest.

Khristophoros2 votes

Heimer has been remade like 3 times and the current one is fine.

DuskDaUmbreon2 votes

Ah, yes, super fine and interactive.

With the 0 interactivity behind his R>Q>Zhonya's, and the basically 0 interactivity with his Q in general...

Kayle and Morgama but to be released at the same time with a sharing log in screen, splash art AND event. Benefits? So they can release two new champions in a row, and to compensate one new champion since it didn't get schedules between Aatrox's and Akali's rework. After that, I'd like Volibear rework, so devs can stop making fun out of him and his trio(ww, urgot and voli). Then epic release of Mordekaiser rework, for real this time ladiest and edgymen.

I would like to see what they would do with a teemo rework but his e is probs gonna be like for every third autoattack teemo posions his enemy doing 5 (10%magic) 5(attackdamage) damage per tick 5 ticks ticks once per second and a 1% chance to autowin game at the start of everymatch

Sorry, but my boy Fiddlesticks deserves a rework before anyone else. How do I know this? Because champions like Ryze have already gone through at least 1 vgu. My boy fiddle diddle has had less textures than S1 minions.

Mordekaiser, Tryndamere, or Pantheon please.

Shake Shaco1 votes

corki really need a VR imagine how cool he can look they can make his plane look cool af

ΦmalphintoΦ1 votes

im pretty sure Shaco is going to be after Nunu for so many reasons. when he is ahead, his ganks are extremely dangerous, his ultimate is unique and kind since it almost doubled his stats, dmg, health, and everything.

when he is behind, he is extremely easy to die as a squishie, CC is so much on him, will be weak in ganks, his opponents will be extremely danger to him etc. i think the Shaco is next boys.

Though these are he ones that might be before or after him. Mordekaiser Morgana Kayle Pantheon Kennen Fiddlesticks Rammus

And these are the ones i would prefer to get a rework.. Rammus Shaco Fiddlesticks Pantheon
