@Riot how many champs will be looked at during the marksmen update?

when the juggernaut update happened there were 4 champs that we knew would fit the jugernaut theme ( Darius Garen Mordekaiser Skarner ) as along with a few that could fit it but were gonna be touched on later (Shyvana Olaf ) as well as some but were already in a good spot and established Nasus

But for marksmens its more cut and dry its not as vague as juggernauts

because when people think of marksmen they automatically think Ashe Caitlyn Draven Graves Jinx Kalista Lucian MissFortune Sivir Tristana Varus Twitch Vayne

And there are of course the the other types of marksmen like the caster types Ezreal Corki KogMaw

and then we got the marksmens who have gone very far from their original idea of a bot lane adc Quinn Urgot (which im happy with cause of diversity)

my point is the pool of champs who could be considered for the marksmen update is a lot bigger than the pool for juggernauts so would it be possible if we could get a number of how many are going to be a part of the update? or perhaps just some feedback on where you stand with it

I am fully aware that Teemo is labeled as a Marksman, except there are things about Teemo that are by far the most rage inducing effects of the game. (Shrooms anyone) Also it feels impossible to build anything against Teemo, you build MR well he still does thousands of damage worth magic damage, you build health... well he's going to build Liandry's anyway.

Except if you play any AD Marksman you can actually build items to counter them, Teemo just doesn't care. 200+ MR on a champion with 3000+ health and he still melts you even without Liandry's

I did a post a couple of weeks back asking about how the rework was going to affect bot lane. Never got a answer. I know Riot wants to free Marksmen from bot lane so I would guess they may make some of them anti-casters for mid and maybe some other anti-tanks for top.

Honestly I don't know if it will work though. People really don't want to change the way they are playing. I'm still seeing Kindred bot lane ADCs even though Riot designed them to be one of the weakest base AD champions. The general community is so hardwired to send any ranged champion bot lane that there ignoring their kit and trying to force it. So unless the good folks at Riot can figure out a way to break the habit I don't see marksmen being able to leave anytime soon.

This is true, but dose not change the validity of my statement. Most League players are stuck on the current meta. Like any large population they need to be lead to new ideas by those they idolize and believe in. Riot needs to make the marksmen changes appealing to the professional players, youtubers, and streamers or it wont catch on. Anyone else who tries to make change happen without being one of these individuals is typically bullied and blamed the instant something goes wrong. I know this I'm a support main.

i was agreeing with you friend

adapting to change is the hardest thing for 90% of the community in terms of league of legends the only way they listen is by copying what the pros/internet celebs do its a shame but yea what you said is true
