Only 4 champions in 10 months. I find it bad

I have to say something, i am actually disappointed with the numbers of champions released this year. You can tell me there are reworks and stuff which is great, but Riot always said these things don't slow down the new champions development process. Honestly 4 champions in 10 months is bad. I Consider new champions as the thing that keeps this game interesting and fresh above anything else. I don't want a champion a week, but not one every 2 and a half months either.

I repeat, reworks are great and needed, but they don't have the same hype and expectations as new champions.

That is plenty of new champions. Number of Champions isn't a problem this game has. Variety of champion picks and a stale meta are problems for this game

4 champions in 10 month is plenty? Don't exagerate please. They clealry can release some more champions while keeping a high level of design, since they did it in 2013 and 2014.

I expect only 1 new champ o the end of the year wich would make 5 in 12 months

6 champions in the last 12 months right now. Kalista RekSai Bard Ekko TahmKench Kindred

6 champions in the 12 months before that. Jinx Yasuo Velkoz Braum Gnar Azir

Seems like Riot's par for the course right now. Honestly, I don't want a faster champion release schedule, the game's already starting too feel too much like Pokemon, where they add random monsters/champions for the sake of adding random monsters/champions, rather than to actually fill a gap.

I for one think we have to many champ as it is. Plus how many rework or update in kits? Like Mordekaiser and Gangplank can be see as all most new champs.

Im pretty happy with the champion pace, maybe it could be a tiny bit higher. If there's about 5 per year now maybe id want 6, but that's about it.

I don't really see why it matters so much to people, only like 30ish are mainstream at a time anyway so its not like more champions existing really meaningfully increases variety.
