Not since Azir have I been excited for a champion because of their kit.
New releases kits just aren't getting me hyped :( The last 9 champions just didnt make me want to use them because i thought their kits were cool and i have to learn them on release.
Im buying Aurelion Sol because i have been waiting on a dragon for 3 damn years (plus he looks cool af)
I bought
because I though their characters were really cool
I bought
because they looked like something different than most of the other champions in their role/class
I bought
because I thought she was gonna be OP
I bought
for literally no reason.
Not saying you guys are doing a bad job. Not at all. I still love
and pick them alot in featured game modes (probably second most played champion in Poro King behind Gangplank, 10 or so times on GP and probably 3-5 on Kindred).
is my most played champion.
is my go to assassin (trades that with Kassadin but Kass hasn't got that back in a while).
is my go to ADC when im playing that and I'll always pick him when i need to play an AD midlaner.
is one of my favorite champions in ARAM and the 1st champion i got a win with in ARAM tournaments. I still go back to
from time to time when i'm going top and have no idea who's a good counterpick to my matchup. I pick
when my adc is a hyper carry and play him top from time to time just to be annoying. And I main Aurelion Sol (yes you can main a champion before they are released, if people can claim they main Kindred an hour after release why cant I main Sol before his XD). To me, the champions that are must buys because of their kit are the ones that make me think "that is so damn cool it seems like something i would think of". I havent had that feeling in a while.
