What's Easier? Creating a Champion or Updating an Old One?(Can Any Rioters Help Answer This?)
Is it just me who's curious as to why so many champions will be released within a year vs how many champions get updated? I understand that sometimes it can be due to unpopularity in a champion but there's no real reason to support the addition of new champions being released with the lore of Runeterra constantly changing and the meta being updated consistently. It was argued that popularity could be indeed be the reason as to why some champions are not bothered being touched. But if that's the case than can there be a reason as to why Gragas(who's popularly seen in the pro picks, high elo, and even in some normal games) wasn't put in the voting poll at all during the discussion on who'd be updated next? Am I the only one curious to why this is the case? Do the players get no say in whether we want new champions or some of our classic ones to be updated?
Also just for curiosity, vote in the poll below. Just want to see if anyone here would prefer a new champion over a seeing old and out of place champions get updated.
are so difficult to balance and often complained about or left dumpstered; as reworks they're largely failures. Sion, Urgot Warwick, Pantheon dont happen often. These are, iirc, Riots most successful VGUs in terms of retention and satisfaction from players on both sides- As and against.
