I've seen a few comments around the forums saying that Riot's been hyping up champions substantially less, but begin doing so closer to their release. So I wanted to know, what was the last champion that you actually looked forward to?

My most memorable release was Jinx - Riot did a brilliant job with her. Sure, her kit was a little strong but overall her release was so cohesive. Her lore was great, the 'Get Jinxed' music video is iconic, her splash was awesome. Riot even did an ambiguous teaser on Vi's page to get the speculation started.

Since then, Braum and Vel'koz have been the only noteworthy releases.

Poppy. Then I found out they deleted AP Poppy which turned it into a champ I only pick to troll now. TY Rito.

As someone who enjoys playing tanky or skirmish Champions with simple, non bloated kits/gimmicks...It has really been a while, actually.

I actually refunded a champ in order to buy her on the first day after her release.

Definitely Kindred

Only champ I bought with RP since I had almost no free time to grind IP before her release. Don't regret it at all.
