Redmercy had some leaks shown about the next poll and the next VGU which is Shyvana.

A website that isn't in English, but seems to confirm the leaks are true.

I'm a little shocked since many surveys in Asia are showing negative reception for a rework for the dragon lady and most of the Asian players I talk to would absolutely hate it, but it makes sense since she did win the Chinese poll. Her kit will need a lot of work though.

So far though, it looks like she is top priority.

Just as a disclaimer all claims made are only a guess. Riot has said nothing official and RedMercys leak source is very unreliable as he has over a 80% failure rate on his leaks. Especially with skins.

The reason Shyvana looks likely as the next VGU are the following.

Highest Vote for China
Was not announced with all other 1000 day club members.
Wild Rifts VU on Dark Flame Shyvana.
Listed as one of the high priority champions.

None of which confirm anything.

Please, source this. I love all things Shyvana and this is valuable.

I find it odd that the region that voted for her the most is somehow the same region that is against it the most.

I just hope they don't ruin her like they did with Aatrox

I believe these leaks are fake.

Riot does not focus VGU's on popular champions. Shyvana is super popular within the Asian player base and even people who don't play her would absolutely hate if shes changed. They don't want to risk so many players within that community getting angry, especially since they are riots biggest customers of MTX.

There are other champions that have virtually no risk of getting many upset players, such as Dr.Mundo or Skarner. Riot focuses on champions that have very low play rates and popularity. The two champions I mentioned above fit the bill perfectly.

Doubtful, we were told she's gonna be on the poll coming up later this year, there's no way in hell it's already decided.

Honestly I'm not looking forward to it. Since Shyvana was for a long time a on hit juggernaut but given how Riot has talked about her and the current build. I'm a bit scared they're going all in on the dragon and scrap the auto based champion she is.

Sorry but it's already proven pretty fake in the video from Red. They showed a skin for Master Yi, being part of the Praetorian series, and well he's got a Bloodmoon in the next patch.
