[Poll] What VGU would you like to see next, right after Evelynn?

XIII Vanitas·7/9/2017, 7:08:44 PM·9 votes·2,153 views

I'm really curious to know what the boards population would want. Since the poll can have only 10 options, I'll leave you the job of writing down the champion you prefer and, if you want, your motivation as well.

Please, refrain from: 1- Posting multiple comments about the same champion. If someone has already wrote a comment about the champion you want, upvote it and reply to it if you want to add your own opinion; 2- Posting or upvoting multiple comments. Remember: you can pick only one champion, the one you want the most! 3- Downvoting comments. Be respectful towards opinions different from yours, even if you dislike them.

Swain . He hasn't received a new skin in over 5 years. A VGU will put him back on the rotation to get a new one. Also, his lore should be expanded. He's the Grand General of Noxus he needs to have more information about him available.

Definitely Nunu

VU wise not so much and GU needs an update animation because entirely nunu is outdated. And also we need another update to freljord and if memory serves me right 6 months( whole preparation of a VGU) prior today will be winter and what nice event should take place in time of season? well the best way to celebrate that event is a VGU of a freljord champ which is nunu (doubting that they will release a new champ in freljord) and an update to freljord.

my other top 3 besides nunu that needs an update after him are(in order): Swain Pantheon and Mordekaiser

Akali Amumu Chogath DrMundo Fiddlesticks Irelia Jax Kayle Malphite Mordekaiser Morgana Nocturne Nunu Olaf Pantheon Rammus Shaco Skarner Tryndamere Volibear XinZhao

Out of all the major candidates I think I'd want Kayle the most. She has a lot of thematic potential but suffers from a binary kit that isn't living up to her theme. I do know there are champions who are far more in need and unhealthier than her though, like Pantheon.

I would love to see a Malphite rework, but there are a couple of champions I think need more attention.

and are probably among the most outdated champs. Their play patterns aren't exactly healthy, either; Tryndamere barrels down a lane forever and wins and loses trades through RNG, and Pantheon has no counterplay for most laners except "wait until he's useless".

Trying to follow rules, and since he doesn't have his own individual post...

I think Mordekaiser is probably in most need of a VGU. His most recent lore is really intriguing, but his visuals and gameplay don't fully execute on that. He's the last of the pizza feet I believe, and while the core design of his visuals are not currently bad, they are just not fully realized. His skins also need some love, he doesn't really have any awesome ones and there are some missed opportunities.

His gameplay, while not the worst, could use some revamping to refocus him on being a somewhat tanky, immobile damage dealer. I predict his ult will stay in some form, but the rest of his kit needs some touching up. (I'm no Morde expert, I'm sure others could give a fuller analysis).

As an aside, post-Morde VGU I'd love to see one of his soul-bound liches or maybe the thief that stole his skull released as a Champion or something in tandem. Mordekaiser's lore is just too metal not to explore more, perhaps with another character!

My pick would be DrMundo . Everything about him is terribly outdated (splash art, model, gameplay), to the point that it almost looks like he doesn't belong to LoL anymore. Anyways, his colour story was fantastic and I totally fell in love with the absurdity and goofiness of the character.

Definitely Swain

It's the time to take Swain to the modern day of League and thinking of The grand general himself spearheading Noxus relaunch gives me sublime orgasm.

Swain Mordekaiser

Kulle Aid7/9/2017, 8:18:33 PM3 votes

Definitely Udyr

Go look at this champs base model. its honestly disappointing. He all blocks, even his toes are blocky.

I see where they are going with swain but that man actually has some detail in him. light particles even, udy is just a train wreck that has yet to be put back together.

MagmaDragon127/9/2017, 10:52:13 PM3 votes

While I highly doubt Skarner will get one anytime soon, he needs a VGU for similar reasons Yorick needed it.

Currently, Skarner's model(s) is/are not great, espicially earthrune (Guardian of the sands and Battlecast are newish so they dont count for this point

There has been no version of his kit where his q was healthy (or its entirety), when it was good it was too good and when its bad it is too bad, he has gotten two small reworks in his lifetime and neither put him in a good place (and no Skarner player ever wanted the spires last I checked).

And now he is in the "Forgotten Champions" room where Yorick Galio and Urgot were once in (even though Urgot is still in that room, his rework coming in a few weeks will change that).

Also once we get a Skarner VGU we can maybe find out what Brackern Dreamsongs sound like.

Though as much as I like Skarner, many other champions need their VGU before his:

Nunu Swain Pantheon Mordekaiser DrMundo Udyr etc.

Azir Azir mainly just needs a GU more than a VU. (Though his Galactic skin needs some love...) I feel like Azir has been in a really awkward position since his release. In the right hands, Azir was practically unstoppable since he'd just combo you into the dirt and keep you zoned away. Nowadays, I still think he's really good (once again, if played correctly), but it's clear he's a shell of his former self.

Fiddlesticks Nocturne Mordekaiser

Imagine the potential.

They're the most I'm excited for. Especially Mordekaiser and Nocturne.

lolipopevelynn7/9/2017, 9:25:55 PM2 votes

shaco or swain are good candidates. but by the looks of things we wont see a shaco VGU till 2020

morg and morde runner ups tho.

BenParadox7/9/2017, 10:26:48 PM2 votes

I feel like, above anyone else, XinZhao (closely followed by Morde, Mundo, Shaco, and Skarner) deserves a VGU the most.

Xin Zhao basically acts like a walking missile: He will either reach his target and destroy it quickly (and without counterplay), or he will not and will probably die. The only thing he can do is dive, and once he dives the only real decision he has to make is when or if he uses R, since it makes the most sense to always use Q and W right after reaching your target with E.

Also it doesn't seem like their is a lot to his character, and in his current state he feels a little generic.

In addition, Camille has also recently hurt his niche with her ultimate and her overall better kit. (while it is not totally healthy and isn't the best designed kit out there, it is more powerful, has more counterplay, and involves more decision making then Xin Zhao's kit).

Whatever they rework him into, his ultimate (though ~~possibly~~ probably in a different form) and his status as a DIver should stay. BTW if they can't think of a way to keep his R and Camille's R from overlapping, they may want to try focusing on how Xin's R can alternatively be used as a Disengage tool (which Camille's ult can't affectively be used for), and see if that works out.

Chogath especially that we got nothing Void related I'm a while.

I don't expect we'll ever "see" Eve's VGU. What with the perma-stealth and all. ;p

Forhonor3217/10/2017, 8:44:06 PM1 votes

I know already a lot of people have already said them but it has to come down to Mordekaiser & Swain .

Swain has just been outdated for some time now with no new skins in a while and Mord is still ridden with bugs if I remember. These are two champ that I would love playing as but desperately need to be put on the rework list.

Honorable mentions: Tryndamere Pantheon Olaf Nocturne Morgana Kayle Malphite Chogath Amumu Akali DrMundo XinZhao

Welp, Swain won the popularity vote. Second place goes to Nunu and Mordekaiser

Umbral Regent7/9/2017, 8:08:28 PM1 votes

How's about I pick three, because realistically, nothing's stopping me from doing so?

IMO, the top three I'd like to see get reworked sometime soon would be (in order) Mordekaiser, Pantheon, and Zilean.

Also, people are probably going to ignore the whole "please, refrain from:" thing, because

If there are enough comment strings, people are going to post multiple strings about the same champion.
What actual rules say people can pick only one Champion? There's dozens in need of reworks, and some people want to see a handful of them reworked.
People'll downvote if they want to downvote, and honestly, being asked to refrain from doing so won't stop them.

Anyway, reasons for rework picks;

Mordekaiser just plain needs it, Pantheon doesn't fit the image they painted of him in the Targon update, and Zilean is someone we can all admit needs the work.

Kloqdq7/10/2017, 1:22:10 PM1 votes

I mean there are so many options that I could barely pick. I would like to step to somewhere else in runterra for a bit. We have been so focused on Zuan and Ionia for a good while I'd love to see a champion like Volibear or Udyr or something. If I had to pick one though it would probably be...

Tryndamere

There just feels like so much potential for an awesome champion but he is really wasted. He already seems to be linked to the Darkin in some way and the good land north has been quiet for a long time now it feels. We haven't heard much about them with the other big countries and I think Tryn is a great place to start. He is such a lackluster character in design and his gameplay has not aged at all. I really hope he is on the list because there is a lot to be done with him.

Stars Shaper7/10/2017, 1:42:30 PM1 votes

This isn't going to work if you don't put down single choices (there is a post with 21 champions).

Either put the 10 most old and/or discussed champions or create a poll elsewhere with a link to all the old/reworkable champions.
