@Riot Is the new champ schedule going to be around the same as last year?

Let me first start off and say that there is not a single player out there who gets more hyped about champ reveals/releases than me, My friends say that I'm addicted, literally. All these new mechanics and kits are great, keep it up. But i was just wondering if you guys plan on doing the same thing as last year, where you cram in 5000 champs in the off season, not necessarily a bad thing, if it's offseason, and right now its not.item 3151

I understand that you guys are busy with reworks and things like the juggernaut update, but its about to be 3 patches in a row with no new hints of a new champ coming anytime soon, so I want to know if i'm gonna get an overdose of champs for christmas or my addiction can be healthily fed by a new champ or two to help me get through first semester.

We've shuffled a couple of champion releases around during the middle of this year. Tahm Kench got pulled forward a bit so that he wasn't coming out at the same time as the Bilgewater event (if pieces of content don't have a relationship that means releasing them together makes sense we like to space stuff out a bit). The next champion by contrast's been pushed somewhat, with the benefit that that lets us focus on the juggernaut stuff in 5.16 and then balanced for Worlds in 5.17 and 5.18. Effective outcome of that is that the gap between Tahm and the next champ's going to be longer than average.

As far as said next champ goes too early to really talk any details, and that's something the team working on the champ/the reveal, should do themselves of course. Will say it's not a support or an assassin though (no big surprises there given Bard/Ekko/Tahm I'm sure, but just in case anyone was wondering).
