I think Riot's gonna give 2 VGU's next in the road map [ Se as to why ]

Killaburn··19 votes·1,649 views

Like the title, I think Reav3's gonna announce 2 VGU's next in the next road map

Because as they said, the 5 teams can do either new champs/VGU's and riot even mentioned if it not a 50/50 favors next year(not season) its gonna be a 60/40 favor on VGU's. And if the 2 teams that do reworks only do reworks next year same with the new champs team, then the promise of either doing vgu's/new champs is not very applied well.

So my speculation that:

Ornn's team will do a VGU And Eve's team will do a VGU too

because i think kayn's team will do a new champ that will be release after swain if my memory serves me right. making rakan's team the creator of ornn and xayah's team the one who will make the new champ after eve.

Those VGU's will probably be NUNU and Morde because riot said no to back-to-back position/lane/faction champs. being swain either mid/top will exclude morde being next unless they really migrate him in the bot lane (but i think he fits in the jungle because of its ultimate).

TL;DR: Nunu and after him, Morde is next to receive the VGU privileged.

At this point it doesn't look like Ornn comes with a freljord update,so it is possible that they plan to do a freljord update once nunu gets his VGU.

Honestly, assuming any new champion/ VGU could reintroduce other older champs into canon lore is a massive roll of the dice. I feel like all we can do is cross fingers and hope more so than make speculations about when such updates would or could happen.

well they did that with WW and Galio. so nothing is impossible m8 :D

... I never implied that it was impossible, all I said was its a roll of the dice.

This community got excited when Urgot's update was announced, we were debating if we'd see a small Noxus LU or perhaps finish off the Zaun LU. Same applies to everyone going nuts assuming Kayn's release would come with Aatrox and maybe Varus lore too. We wished for an early Noxus LU when Kled was announced. Heck I doubt ASol alone would have brought us the Targon LU if Taric wasn't conveniently being reworked at the same time. Oh and you could even argue that Narrative could have done an early Zaun LU with Ekko as well. Now finally, we come back to Ornn's release.

So with all that said, does this mean Evelynn's rework will come with the third Shadow Isles update? I don't believe so myself. Not when all her lore teasers haven't had a strip of evidence for a strong connection back to the Isles, chances are she's pretty independent from there all together and the update will result much like Urgot's has.

Ekko came out before the new lore format was even introduced,he was released when champs were released with only their short lores.

And Aurelion sol wouldn't have fit into Targon if they hadn't changed Pantheon and the others alongside his release.

NUNU really needs a make over to be honest. I only like his Ultimate because it has so much damage and i like that for a support champ lmao KS-sing adc's kills

BananaKing722 votes

I agree with this. He clearly needs it

AlCapone221 votes

yes he definitely needs it!

JonnyBoyy1 votes

I agree too

Killaburn1 votes

yes he does really need it :D

Peatmanro9 votes

Yes, because who wouldn't like VGU's?? and i agree with Nunu and Morde cause this 2 are the top 2 highly anticipated VGU's of all the outdated champs that needs VGU now excluding swain. And hope Nunu is first.

Killaburn1 votes

yes nunu needs to be VGU'd before morde

I just want my Volibear to be reworked. His updated story from Ornns lore has me even more hyped for a VGU'd Voli.

Killaburn1 votes

voli's probably in the high list and i'm excited too because of ornn's lore even though i'm not a fan of voli in the past. The story made me like him imo :D

  2. Next VGU after Swain
  3. Details about Swain VGU

they did https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/JIuimTbs-who-wants-less-new-champion-and-more-vgus-per-year?comment=0003000400000000000200020000

didn't read complete specifications though. no numbers in literal, so i'll assume thats not its just 1 only. But i respect your opinion so yeh

Unpopular opinion I know, but Teemo really needs a VGU. I want Teemo to get some much needed buffs, but he can't have that as long as his kit is in this toxic and binary state. Not to mention that his W and E are relics from a long gone era of champion design and must be burned to the ground. Remaking the kit will be the perfect opportunity to polish his model and redo his clunky animations (just look at that walk. Look at it !).

I agree. Teemo's still annoying as ever, and fun to play IMO; but he's very bland. I'd love to see him get a VGU sometime in the next 2-3 years.

DarkRitual1 votes

I would say he needs just a GU. His visuals are fine. Rework kit and add effects/voicelines/etc. as needed there. He's in the big group of "we have functional but horribly outdated kits and visuals" with the likes of Fiddle, Morg, Kayle, Annie, and more.

If it means champs being updated at a faster pace without losing the quality the past VGUs have had, then I'm all for it. I think Morde could be possible as the next VGU, only because technically they did try to turn him into a bot laner and if that's not the case then at the very least he's still a top laner as well. Swain tends to stick to mid and while Morde can be used there, the Morde mains I've talked to say they prefer to use him Top. The way I see it, Eve is a Jungler, Swain is a mid laner, since they would have just done a Jungler not too long ago, Morde would be next as a top laner followed by Nunu since it would have been at least two updates since the last Jungler. Unless Riot throws a curve ball at us we never saw coming and update a Support we didn't realize were that high on the list.

Killaburn1 votes

i respect your opinion but here's mine, as i can see, all of the high tier list of VGU's are almost Top/jungle so its best to assume that its still not the case. And eve jungle will not be a back to back considering there is swain and a new champ in between and vgu to vgu back to back stance would not be a great idea considering swain is a mid/top champ and morde is a toplaner unless they migrate him to bot while NUNU can be played Jungle/SUPPORT too. A support! we need a VGU for a support now and i bet its nunu cause we didn't get a sup VGU in a long time (excluding galio cause he's more mid/top). But who knows, maybe they could pull a corki/malp/irelia at us.
