Made me laugh.....playing through it for like the 1000000000000 time.

Terff2 votes

I played through 4 like... twice. Unwillingly the second time because the first time right at the final dungeon I lost all my save data... I was disappointed that I didn't get to fully beat it so I played through it again and eventually got to the end. Atm I'm playing through 6 again.

Why is he the most badass? he doesn't technically put any effort at all.. he doesn't even have a correct personality he's just a joker clone. He's crazy? so what.. and the game's plot is heavenly watered down to make him win. The point where he actually "wins" was extremely forced in the story line. I mean think about it, magic didn't work there right? so why didn't your samurai, lancer, barbarian or Karate master kill kefla and the emperor before anything? If anything why did they even trust the empire in the first place after they tried to use you the whole game? wtf is wrong with that plot.. there was just nothing better at the time so people feel like it's the best.

LeeSin No way. Nidalee That's quite... inspirational, actually. Kalista This could be game-changing, it might even change the meta. Ahri Mid lane will never be the same. Leblanc Just imagine all the possible counterplays. JarvanIV Jungling is changed, forever. RekSai ... Zed Finally. Balance is a weakness, but it sure is a challenge. Vi I'm still going to punch their face.

Well Vel'Koz was a new champion and he has no mobility. Hoping more along the lines of that.

Braum has very limited mobility and he is pretty balanced now too.

Given how slow they are with releasing new champions, he's quite new

Bard sounds like either a mage or a support... not really any high-mobility supports yet... so probably will be the millionth champion "defined by mobility".

Stars Shaper9 votes

I sense a combo based Mage.

Never heard of a Bard class not be a support in any game ever. That would be an unexpected turn of events.

Thats a pretty bad name for a champion. I hope that isnt actually his name.

To be fair, there is literally a paragraph of info on bard in the book. Before that paragraph, you have no idea who this guy is.

GaleWinUnleashed3 votes

His people took the name Bard. If anything, his title will be Bard, not his name.

I am predicting he will be able to teleport between the runes Riot placed on the map.

Please god let me be wrong.

PLEASE

And we all thought that dragon rune was purely cosmetic.

They wouldn't modify SR simply for one champ right?

Right?...

SecretAgentHulk1 votes

You obviously missed the huge redesigns they did for Darius's and Kalista's releases.

DrCyanide7 votes

Considering Meddler only mentioned that they didn't have a knockup...

I'm personally expecting a Support that can keep up with Kalista.

At this point, he will be so unique because of a lack of mobility.

Chromatic Eagle4 votes

No he'll be unique because he'll have no mana.

I have a feeling that Riot is going to do the unthinkable and actually have no mobility (and they already confirmed that the next few champs would NOT have displacement abilities). Then I'm going to laugh when they are confused why he/she isn't as viable as they expected... OR they completely overload the kit in every other way and it is still mind numbingly broken...

KaisadiIIa1 votes

I was put the picture of a recently released immobile but overloaded champion... then I realized that every champion recently released has mobility except Vel'Koz.

true story

SpongebobIsLife3 votes

it's also interesting that out of all the champions released since 2013, vel koz was the only one not nerfed.

jv21blU7oD1 votes

Well after Vel'Koz was released I remember a rioter working with the balance team that got asked if he thought the champ could become a competitive pick and he straight up admitted that he didn't think so because of the lack of mobility. So it seems more to be the case that they are fully aware but have no clue what to do about the situation so they are just rolling with it.

Thryale2 votes

I really hope riot makes this champ immobile.

Zu En Su2 votes

then its completely useless in combat

Thryale2 votes

well, guess that just means riot needs to nerf mobility

Scorpoison5 votes

[–]RiotMeddler 401 points 1 day ago I would like to take you up on that bet for enormous amounts of money. Or, to be even blunter about it - no, no knock up on the next champ. Probably none on the next couple of champs either, though that's not completely certain yet.

BUT HOW WILL I QQ ABOUT HOW TENACITY DOESN'T SHORTEN KNOCKUPS AND RIOT IS BUILDING ALL NEW CHAMPS AROUND KNOCKUPS NOW

Borbland1 votes

Vel'Koz E isn't a knockup but a suspension (Can be countered by Tenacity)

But yeah, hope no champion with knockup.

KaisadiIIa3 votes

Yeah, but suspension still counts as airborne and that's what people refers to when they say "knock-up".

You read it wrong; it's "Beard" because Braum doesn't have it.summoner 30

The new champ is going to be a support, im 98% sure

AkabaneKun2 votes

Support based on giving champs mobility, so riot can shut our mouths, the spotlight is going to have a joke saying something similar to, "see now all immobile champs can be kalista or zed" , or some bs like that, just calling it.

But then what happens when he supports kalista and zed...
