Wondering If A Jax VU Is Slated For This Year

He's the champ. Really wondering how Riot will tackle him.

Would be cool if he had like 6 different auto attacks and 3 different W attacks. It'll really show his mastery with a weapon. Just my opinion

Most likely not, just a hunch. We've slotted I'd say.. until about August, but he's not on that roster at the moment. It's conceivable that he could be after our furthest-out scheduled VU/relaunch, but I see other characters being worse offenders.

That said, there's a couple of passionate Jax players internally who are messing around with concepts. If there's momentum he might get tacked on. He currently resides in the VU-only category, champions who aren't slated for gameplay changes, making them easier to execute on. Also, he exists sort of mid-way up a list that takes into consideration where we would get the most value from executing on a champion artistically. The top of that list having the most projected value of artistic changes, the bottom being the least value.

Thanks for the reply. Appreciate you taking the time out man. O and the auto attack and W idea was just for aesthetics only. I like his current gameplay ( just in case I wasn't clear )

Would you guys be looking at a simple upgrade or do you think you'd be looking at changes to his art?

I hope it's just an upgrade. I really like Jax's current style. Like with the Heimerdinger update, they changed around his outfit a little, and though I think the VU looks amazing overall, I'm kinda disappointed he lost his lab coat...
