We have no information on who is up next to add to the roster as the first Champion release of 2015. Can you drop us any really ambiguous points?
I.E. What role is the Champion? Will it have some super complicated mechanic, or be simplistic?
SEKAI4 votesSimple champion is better.
Break free from that overloaded kit frenzy is refreshing once in a while.
Not to mention simple champs are easier to define their strength and weakness while inherently less messy when it comes to the balancing scene as well, why not?

How do you make a "simple" champion when there are 123 champions?
Simple champions typically have really badly defined strengths and weaknesses and almost all of them had to be made more complex later on.
Just look at Akali. Is that simple or "overloaded" Look at Chogath. Is that simple or "overloaded" Look at Reksai. Is that simple or "overloaded"
One of them is well designed and the other 2 have very lacking designs that people have grown overly attached to because of nostalgia.
SlytherinUmbreon1 votesI think the Dragon Champion they announced forever ago is supposed to come out soon. Unless that got delayed.
darkdill2 votesAo Shin is not going to be released in 2015. Riot confirmed that months ago.
SlytherinUmbreon1 votesI stopped paying attention way before then /
Linna Excel4 votesAo Shin isn't going to be released until after Half Life 3 comes out.
HitmarkerMerk1 votesI expect god like to be the next champion because based on how Riot been giving out there kits they will soon make a god champ.
Linna Excel1 votesThey said after Reksai that they'd be slowing down so I'd expect they are back to their every 2-3 months pace. Maybe the end of this month or march.
Roles? Probably not support because riot really has trouble making supports. I'm thinking an AP mid assassin.
IceKingChernobog1 votesit's gonna be another re-sourceless champ with a ton of shit loaded into their kit
darkdill1 votesI don't doubt it.
Caezium1 votesI am expecting it to be an AP champion that is as mobile as Rek Sai, Kalista, and Yasuo combined. With a knockup.
However I want a champion with none of that honestly.
Sooko1 votesManaless Will have a knock-up Have a wall of some sort (either a la Azir or a la Yasuo) %HP Dmg Some sort of penetration Multiple passives Insane mobility Waveclear Be ranged Have a passive "on third hit" Low Cooldowns
Lord Dusteon1 votesI think Riot stated an assassin champion would be coming soon.
Forbidden Siren1 votesI hope the next champion is from Ionia. I always love that nation more than anything.
