Dear Riot, new champions

Rito, I just wanted to say that you have hit another home run with the new champion Ornn. I'm not talking about balance per se (that's to be determined), but the actual kit, lore, voice overs, look, and synergy.

I think I speak for most of the community when I say that we would rather have a longer interval between new champions being released than having new ones more often that are unbalanced if not plain broken. We also love the fact that you are reworking the outdated champs instead of releasing more new ones.

Keep up the good work on that and the game will continue to thrive.

Always good to see the positive posts! I agree that he looks pretty cool. I actually wasn't sold until I read the short stories; once I understood the vibe they were going for, I was really pleased with it.

The gameplay looks like it really resonates with the theme, and that's something that is hard to repair later if they mess it up. They've done a good job with that this time around, and that's something we ought to celebrate. Nice addition to the roster.

A wholesome post that isn't complaining about Ornn even though he hasn't been released?

You have secured my updoot.

Design is absolutely amazing!

Although im worried his kit may be overloaded, and that theyre giving another champ damage based on resistances.

I personally find the new champ releases incredibly boring. They don't even come close to the excitement i get out of reworks

There are always going to be new champs and reworks that are not as good as others. I just really like when they get it right though.

I'm just waiting for them to release a new champ that I actually like. I've been massively underwhelmed by every champ since Jhin.

No, keep the new champs coming. Do not keep releasing reworks. Reworks have become like champion deletion. I'm sick of them deleting champions. They never fail to deliver on new champion kits IMO. It's the reworks where they make too many of them and get sloppy.

well , many champions have an outdated kits , and have to be changed someday , and this is why we have reworks ...

I'm okay with reworks every once in a while. But the rate they've been making them lately is way too high.

They have had to do lots of reworks. The old champ kits just don't really compete with the new releases. I think they have done a good job with reworks so far, but just like new champs, they are overtuned or OP on release 90% of the time.
