Who's your bet Gameplay Update after Aatrox? Who needs it other than a VGU

Now that Aatrox is going live next next wednesday, who's your bet? Mind you that aatrox team will do GU's only like xin (Aatrox is an exception but more Aatrox like VGU might come into the future if you ask me)

Yeah maybe we will see it in the next road map along side the next VGU/s & New Champ and Nunu. (Because reav3 told that the next roadmap is after akali's release)

But what champ does come into your mind that needs it badly?

For me, it's MonkeyKing . He clearly needs it. He needs more love (His new skin is not enough) specially that I don't see him anymore in the rift (maybe some but rarely). He is also left out along other diver champs in a roaster update. Wukong clearly needs it specially that all his diver pals like xin and aatrox have updates already. Maybe update his skin splashes too and his model like aatrox if you ask me.

PS: This is diff. from does champs that clearly needs a VGU and Wukong has a new lore already so it will not be a complete overhaul

EDIT: I don't want to be mean but some pips here pisses me off, it's like they didn't even read my post. And yeah, I know Akali and Nunu is next but they're are VGU's and what I'm pertaining here is all about GU. Gosh...

Some of my thoughts: Kindred Karma MonkeyKing and Diana

Kindred because they feel... odd? Their base kit and their ult just don't seem to mix together well, but maybe with a GU they can find a way to mix them together better.

Karma because Meddler stated at the beginning of the year and a month or two ago that they're still planning a GU for her, she also needs a better identity outside of being a shield bot and then being outclassed at everything else come mid/late game. Her release skins could use a little update though imo.

MonkeyKing because he's a lot of the time too stat checky. He either goes in and blows you up almost immediately and hopes that if he doesn't that he's just tanky enough to take you out afterwards. If he doesn't kill you instantly he just sort of dies. Wukong players have also been asking for some help for him over the months too (or it could have just been that one guy posting multiple times I don't remember). He honestly needs a texture update and new animations and he'd probably be fine enough, don't think he needs an entirely new model.

Diana also suffers from a similar problem as Wukong. Tends to go in and blow someone up and if she doesn't she dies. She could use some changes to make playing against her less infuriating when she's ahead and playing against her when she's behind less extremely easy.

If we are talking just gameplay update I feel Kindred really falls short in fulfilling the fantasy of playing as a duo and as playing as Runeterra's Grim Reaper. Its less Lamb and Wolf and more like Lamb and...Lamb.

They said absolutely no such thing about Aatrox's team only doing GUs from now on. That's pure misinformation. They said that they've combined their production pods under one banner now, so that their team of 4-5 pods can do anything from VGUs, new champs, or simpler things like GUs. They said ideally they'd have 4 teams focused on VGUs/New Champs, and a floater team to do oddball stuff, but it could be another VGU, another GU, or another new champ. There's no team devoted solely to doing GUs.

Volibear got some awesome new lore, but his current kit doesn't fit. I hope that they will kind of make him an embodiment of the Freljord's weather (lightning, clouds, wind, supercells) since its one of the themes left over that isn't taken by Anivia (snow, ice, cold) or Ornn (earth, magma, heat)

Wukong (has visual work), Diana (no visuals needed), Kindred (depends on how much they change their kit), Quinn (new animations). Those would be my top 4 but I'm biased so not necessarily in that order.

What that link leads you to is the next few updates riot's pumping out. it's not a choice of community discussion. What you hope isn't going to be what dictates the next update.

Mordekaiser and Pantheon are the most likely candidates in my eyes. They're both super fucking outdated but I think Mordekaiser will get it because of how fucked his kit is rn. It's unbalanced as hell and he's too item reliant. Compounded by the fact that his currently lore/visuals/gameplay don't match up in the slightest. He is also the only juggernaught in the game who suffers from building defensive items. He needs it more than any other champion at this point. I'm holding out hope he will be the next one.

Agreed on Wukong. I'd also love to see Karma get an update. And the other diver I'd like to see get work done is Diana.

Kindred

They really need a change as they gone through like...3-4 mini-reworks since their release.

The dev roadmap shows that Akali and Nunu are next

Teemo, Mordekaiser, Kindred, Pantheon,

At least, that's what I'm hoping for. They're all in dire need. Pantheon not as much, but he does need a visual update.

Kalista: Sadly a problematic kit in LCS; when she's strong, she dominates and when she's weak, she's trash and an auto-loss.

Kindred: Similar to Kalista, but not problematic in LCS

Nunu: Outdated

MonkeyKing: Identity crisis; supposed to be a bruiser type champion but is played as an assassin

Mordekaiser: So many bugs

Azir: Same as Kalista

DrMundo: Outdated

Pantheon: Outdated; unfun to play against in the early game

Tryndamere: Unfun to play against

Nocturne: Kit doesn't really suit the current meta and feels a bit outdated

Akali: Pain in the ass when ahead

Sona: As much as I love Sona, she is in too gutted of a state to be viable anymore and needs a rework

Akali and Nunu are already confirmed , and the fact Wukong got a skin means he won't get a rework for a while , trust me.
