Hey IronStylus and ChampUp team, what is up with the next VU?

Where is it? It has been a while since the last VU release and a bunch of us are wondering when and who is the next VU.

Is Sion next? And if he is, what about the next VU after him? How long will THAT VU take to hit PBE. I know you guys said you are going to focus on champs that need kit changes as well as visual changes so that scares me. How long are these VUs (that were already taking awhile) going to real ease? I love VUs (favorite thing about the game) but the pace at which they're released is a crawl. Yes the quality of them is awesome but 3 VUs in 8 months really really makes me sad. Thought this year was going to be the year for VUs. But its the year for skins and kit reworks (man are they doing their thing).

This is all coming form love, not hate.

We stagger things between lower scope stuff like Karthus VU's, Skarner TU's, Sona MU's, and VGU's like Karma, what used to be called a Relaunch. So.. you can possibly assume that since that we haven't had one of the latter in a while.. well, I'll leave that up to you as to which champion we're going to bring back from the dead this time.

What happened to Ryze? I remember someone saying that he already have a model and is ready for a VU or something .... and, how's Warwick going along?

Hello mr. Stylus

Karma Is there a reason she's forgotten?

I have a feeling that the Sion VU will be released sometime in October to go along with Halloween. Then again, that's just how I would do it. Sion is HUGE, he's effectively a brand-new champ.

That being said, the recent patch notes mentioned something happening to Corki soon(TM). Maybe a VU to make him actually look like a yordle?

SIon is next on the list according the riot support page

It hasn't been all that long, Sona just got quite a nice upgrade, she just didn't need her art to be extensively reconcepted. I expect they'll eventually run out of low-hanging fruit though, which may cause future ones to be a little more delayed as we get down to champions who need a LOT of work (Sion) or even champions with just a lot of skins to redo (Ryze). I wouldn't say they've slowed down, just that since Karthus we got a few littler jobs like Sona and Skarner.

Sona got a TU. TUs are considered side projects. Really hope that wasn't their latest rollout that'll reset the wait for the next VU
