Wordofmask··11 votes·2,446 views

Rioter stated that Urgot is the next who will be getting his long awaited VGU after Galio. Just wait for official declaration from the team at the end of this month or the beginning of Feb.

With Urgot and Galio out of the scene that left only Evelynn there. Tier 1 of VGU list should be updated soon. I want to know who will be added to this list alongside Evelynn

The strong candidates confirmed by Reav3 and Meddler are Mordekaiser Irelia Pantheon Swain Nunu

Warwick Galio Evelynn Pantheon Morgana Kayle Urgot Mordekaiser Malphite Nunu

From the looks of it Urgot will come before Evelynn And Morgana Kayle will come together which would be awesome cause we haven't had a back to back champion update since Gangplank MissFortune The rest only time( and riot announcements) will tell

Well a couple-rework would be pretty awesome! But MissFortune was just a lil VU not a big VGU.

Yet people consider that to me her whole rework I agree with you but since GP was also altered in story they've for now closed the matter with those two

Yes, Miss Fortune, Cassiopeia, Sona, Singed, Alistar, Shen, Maokai, and a few others I'm sure I'm missing need to have legit VUs to accompany their kit updates. It feels super half assed for Riot to say "Aight, thems done!" when they delivered shitty VUs that were just slapping new paint on ugly old rigging and skeletons, with the same outdated voice lines.

Finally 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Someone who gets it. When I bring this up of champions who need a full proper vgu people say no 'they got a vu and slight kit changes and some gameplay '. I mean come on which champion hasn't and Ryze has had more changes to him than any other champion yet they still aren't satisfied I mean come on look at Sion Taric Poppy Warwick and you'll see a complete overhaul of a character No new splash, no new nerfs or buffs, no little changes to abilities. A complete change in the character down to the last Q

Riot has said Morg won't get a VGU... sadly just a VU. Kayle however will get one so it's almost exactly like the first couple-rework.

I rlly hope it goes this direction:

Warwick Galio Evelynn Pantheon Morgana Kayle Urgot Mordekaiser Malphite Nunu Irelia Shaco DrMundo Akali Kennen Rammus

It's not going this direction because Urgot is immediately after Galio. This is confirmed, and stated in the OP's post.

VelvetCrotch1 votes

its pretty fine for me that Urgot comes after Galio but a few months ago they said that Urgot is not on the list atm and they will go Evelynn.

Well only time will tell but both Urgot and Evelynn will come this year. And maybe with the diver-update Nocturne

Edit: i upvotet u that u dont think i am a random "downvote-guy" lel.

But they didn't? They said that Urgot was actually competing with Galio when they were still deciding on who they wanna work on that will come after Warwick (but will be worked on by Team B for VGUs). They said that it was decided that they'll work on Galio after Yorick because he would break the "dark Champion Updates" streak that has been going on since (arguably) Ryze (Whereas Urgot is considered another dark champ) for the most part. Other than that, it was said that they both were very close in terms of potential, but yeah, "Dark vs. Light" was the deciding factor, for the most part.

So that meant that Urgot will almost certainly be worked on in 2017 (unless something goes really wrong internally). Other than, Reav3 said that he thinks it's very unlikely that we'll go through 2017 without an Evelynn VGU, and that both she and Urgot are basically the only ones left in what is called "Tier 1" of champs that need a VGU.

But yeah, further likely candidates will then be from "Tier 2"; I think that, while they're considered "Tier 2", Nunu is very close to "Tier 1", followed by Mundo and possibly Mordekaiser. Then again, I can't not see them going through 2018 (I know, that's a ways off, but still) without a VGU for Pantheon, for his thematic potential, so he might become a higher priority as Warwick had, despite them both arguably not being the most outdated champions. :P

k normally followed all news about vgu's. got something other in mind. but ty for ure pretty intense and long explanation/feedback! hope it will go the way u mentioned. ;)

Wordofmask1 votes

Actually, They have never said that before. Reav3 stated that Evelynn Urgot Galio were on tier 1 list which indicates that they have been super high on a VGU list.

BastionKross1 votes

That list is completely unrealistic.

Ryze isn't in there three or four times.

Malicious Metal5 votes

Definitely Mordekaiser

XIII Vanitas2 votes

I wish DrMundo and Rammus were up there too.

VelvetCrotch1 votes

Rammus should rlly look like a Doedicurus and DrMundo like some guy from the Marvel Universe ;)

DwarvenGiant1 votes

They are actually considered amongst the "Tier 2" of champs that need a VGU, with Galio, Urgot and Evelynn arguably being the only ones left from "Tier 1".

Here are some of the "Tier 2" oudated champions that are often mentioned:

Nunu DrMundo Mordekaiser Pantheon Swain Irelia Rammus Chogath Akali MorganaKayle Shaco Malphite Kennen Corki Jax Tryndamere Skarner

######And probably more will be added and prioritized as the years go by, like Udyr, Ezreal, Blitzcrank, Teemo and Zilean. Anyways, damn, Riot/ChampUP has some work to do. :P

Edit: Okay, I'm actually not sure if I should add more champions to that list of Tier 2 champions, because their Updates might happen a very, very long time from now:

  • Xin Zhao, whom Ghostcrawler mentioned on stream as his own personal candidate, about a month ago.
  • Volibear, who might not even be "Tier 2", but falls under the category of champions with unfulfilled thematic potential/archetypes (like Warwick and Pantheon).
  • Ezreal, whom they always mention could get a "Tristana-level" VGU with a new W and possibly an updated Passive.
  • Udyr, who is often very requested by the community and will likely be accepted as "Tier 2" for being outdated by the end of the year (since Riot doesn't think his gameplay is as outdated as others').
  • Teemo, who could be considered as "Tier 2"

I'm honestly thinking this is too long now. lol

Uhm, did I give you the impression that I wasn't already aware of it?

I think that depends on what the mid season update is. If it's Divers i think Pantheon or Irelia will be after Eve. If it's tanks those 2 wont be started until 2018. In that case it's kinda hard to tell who would be after Urgot and Eve. Maybe like Tryndamere Swain or something, but it's very hard to say.

Actually they said he was just looking good so far, but it's not 100% as it's always subject to change.

Ralanr1 votes

Personally I think it's either Pantheon or Swain. But Mordekaiser is definitely a contender.

Xodiathe4bdn11 votes

The strong candidates confirmed by Reav3 and Meddler are Mordekaiser Irelia Pantheon Swain Nunu

Others confirmed by them and other riot commentators are Akali Amumu Chogath Corki DrMundo Fiddlesticks Kayle/Morgana Kennen Nocturne Rammus Shaco Teemo Tryndamere Volibear

Wordofmask1 votes

Yeah, Those u mentioned are tier 2 list too but none of them both Meddler and Reav3 confirmed "Pretty or Relatively high" on the list.

Read it and love it I'll go through the comments I mentioned by other riot commentators to show what they said on the champions I gave you

We'll see when it happens Hopefully after Warwick is released riot will update the schedule on their site of VGUs

How many reworks does eve have currently?

some degenerate1 votes

Mordekaiser or Irelia seem most likely.

Solidair31 votes

Hoping for Morde or Irelia, honestly. Nunu could prob use it, but at least he's unique.

Arakadia1 votes

I really want either Nunu, Morde, or Swain. All three don't live up to their theme, two of them have been broken for some time by Riot. And all of them are outdated.

Hoping for Mordekaiser. This champion has fucking cool theme. Imagine the potential.

GreenLore1 votes

I guess that pretty much everyone of these "strong candidates" you mentioned will likely move up to tier 1,one eve is done.

I mean just because Eve is the only "tier1"-update left,doesn't mean that any of these 5 is suddenly just as important as her.

It better be akali she is in dire need of changes
