Who do you think is going to be put into the upcoming rework vote?

With Riot doing another vote what is your opinion on who you think will be on it and who you think deserves it? Personally I think Mundo, Shyvanna, Olaf, Udyr, Rammus, and Nocturne replacing 2 champions with the ones that were picked.

I think Mundo deserves the visual update win or not. Mundo is very outdated and some new visuals especially with Mundo being apart of Zaun allowing him to have a very cool aesthetics with clothing, chemtech (if they decide to give him some), and removing him as the last of the last Zaunites in the list of serious VGU's

I'm hoping they actually do another rework over the year. It's great we got Voli and Fiddle together but there are so many that need work. The models at least, which is why it's kinda weird they did Ezreal, said that they'd try and do more just visual updates then Morgana and then no more.

Mundo, Shyvanna, Olaf, Udyr, Skarner and Malphite all need modernisation.

All need it, but really Udyr needs it the most. Pointless stat-check champion that wins or loses depending on if he picked into someone or someone picked into him. Only played by die-hard Mains, at no point does he feel like a fair champion; he's either a bullshit inescapable onhit machine, or a melee minion. Simple champions need to exist, but current Udyr is too binary.

I would love to see Rammus have a rework to be honest, same with Mundo. Probably because I hate them both lol

I'm hoping Cho'Gath so we can get some more Void lore that's not from the "mindless beast" side. Stories from monster perspectives are fantastic (like Vel'Koz's) and I'd love to see an inside look on how Cho operates.

There are a lot that I could think of, so I can't list a straight 5, but I can give my overall thoughts on who I think could be there:

Shaco I could see up there simply because he just doesn't seem to fit into League's world as nice as others. Not to mention that from what I've viewed on the boards, he's just not fun to play against with how his current kit is (mostly due to Riot's catering to mains to make him unfun to face and in certain/many cases OP)

Shyvana I feel could either be up here still as well for people to vote on or Riot may decide that since she was so close in the last vote, that they're next VGU (which I hope they will try to do more outside of Fiddle and Voli this year) will be her. Either way I'm both excited and scared of this since I'm a huge fan but am getting to that point of Riot tinkering too much with her and turning her into the next Galio/Aatrox with alienating mains instead of doing great with something like a Pantheron/Nunu rework, if possible.

Malphite He's fairly dated in terms of gameplay and visuals. He thankfully has a new place in the lore now, which is nice, so it kind of would be a neat gift for Riot to fully update him with how he represents Ixtal.

Skarner just needs work. I still consider his rework to be a fail. He's visually outdated, voicelines still reference summoners if I recall and overall he could have this really cool theme of this crystal scorpion fleshed out.

With Fiddlesticks getting reworked that leaves Noc in kind of an odd place. Both these champs revolve around fear in a sense. Fiddle is now being more realized and shaped into eldritch horror while Noc I still guess is suppose to be the dark but it's very basic. Both champs are kind of similar in some ways (kind of the reverse AD/AP versions of each other) and it would be nice to see how they handle Nocturne in being more of this shadow demon that stalks people to kill.

Chogath could use some work. He's an old fav of mine and I recall him being on Riot's list for a while now. Would be nice to see more of that growing Kaiju terror aspect of him fully utilized.

DrMundo ...Yeah he's just bad. Very bland boring kit, visuals are just bad, lore is kind of good with the last few changes to it, but overall he really needs an update. Won't be surprised if he wins this year.

Olaf I could see Olaf here but I'm not really sure how'd they handle him. I mean, he's a champ that based on lore can't die. How do you represent that in game? In fact, how do you do that when you already have a champ that already can't die? which leads to...

Tryndamere REWORK THIS PIECE OF SHIT! I HATE HIM! HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM!

Udyr I also could be on the list. He's just that very odd champ that Riot experimented with a while back and while he may have worked then (or I guess he did, idk) he doesn't really work now. He just seems bland, his visuals outside of his ultimate suck, and yet the lore makes him more than that. I'm not sure if he'll still be the same or if he'll be brought in line and given an actual ultimate ability but I wouldn't mind if it was the latter.

VGUs for DrMundo Udyr Shyvana

Simple VUs: Lux Ashe

ModRowanstar1/17/2020, 5:21:47 PM4 votes

My vote is for Nocturne or Skarner. Skarner still has super old vfx and doesnt fit at all with the current visuals. Also his voice and appearance are just bad.

I say Facts1/17/2020, 7:29:50 PM4 votes

Well in depends, I have a lot of picks in my mind that really need to be up there.

In terms of fairness, there is no question about it. Our beloved and only scorpion character in game.

Feel free to check my VGU concept of Skarner, I am looking forward till Riot submits the VGU list for him

https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/3Pfs1b0t-skarner-vgu-concept-the-cruel-tyrant Skarner

In terms of visuals, Mundo for sure. His visuals are really bad.

Check my Mundo VGU concept, It looks fair but it never got popular for some reason.

https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/szuJ4FNX-drmundo-vgu-concept-the-madman-of-zaun DrMundo

In terms of gameplay, Nocturne and Shyvana because they both are lacking the perfect gameplay of their lore.

Check my VGU concepts of Shyvana and Nocturne, and feel free to give me a feedback!

https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/wzopRV0Q-nocturne-vgu-concept-the-night-terror

As secondary picks, I have Olaf, Udyr, Tryndamere, Chogath, Rammus and Amumu. As for Amumu and Rammus they mostly need VU only.

However, if we mention Tryndamere, or Olaf, their gameplay is either completetly useless, and has nothing to do with teamwork, or a powerful snowballers. Although, I am perfectly fine with their duelist time because they are Viking warriors afterall, It's only fair to see them extremely cruel in soloing combat, but as for their rework, I would like to see their gameplay more rewarding based on the skills, not just autoing... I want them to be buffed based on how smart the player is. That will make them completetly fair, yet duelist. Something like Fiora but much more As for Chogath, I would love him to remain biggest champion in the game, but a changes to his skills would be nice because he seems like a mage, but a tank, while his lore mentions him to be a Juggernaut, someone who scales off Hp and terrorize the small targets, eating them and killing them with his ultimate or other abilitis. he should not be the tank killer, but a squishy rusher for sure.

Check my reworks made for the second VGU picks

https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/0EubnQdJ-udyr-vgu-concept-the-mystic-shaman Udyr

https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/gFNAjTa7-tryndamere-vgu-concept-the-wrathful-king ( You might hate this one because it looks scary but I only did it based on Lores, I know it's too powerful )

As someone who is very interested ni Olaf, It's only fair for me to discuss more about him and should eventually make a VGU based on him too.

Thank you!

I think Riot has said somewhere that everyone on last year's poll is guaranteed a rework, with the remaining champions being Shyvana, Nocturne, and Mundo. Shyvana's definitely being planned for a rework, they said in the results. So these are the champions I would put in the next poll if those three are excluded:

Shaco - With Fiddlesticks being reworked, Shaco is now the one champion in League of Legends who has no clear place in the lore. We don't even know what he's supposed to be (granted, we still don't know what Jax is yet, either, but we know everything else about him so that mystery is justified). And as far as his kit, he's a mess. It's very clearly a 2009 kit and it only really works to troll the other team.

Skarner - Behold, the champion who has the worse base splash art in the game, and makes Leona's splash look like a masterpiece. Aside from an excuse to update that splash art though, Skarner's kit is very niche and could use several tweaks, though I think the core concept could probably stay the same. Visually, as well, he's one of the worst-looking champions in the game and it's so painfully obvious that his model is nearly a decade old. Lore-wise though, he's pretty solid at the moment, though we still don't know exactly what kind of magic the Brackern crystals have, how they're connected to the world's magic, what the Brackern were like when they thrived, etc.

Chogath - Voidborn lore. Enough said. We need it, and Cho'Gath is THE Voidborn, who just so happens to be the Voidborn with the most rework priority as well. His kit, while not as messy as some, is still not very clean, and could probably use some big changes, particularly his E. He should probably have more focus around his literally massive tank style. And visually is where he needs the most work, because that model of his is very old and not nearly as terrifying as he should look. EDIT: And, since he mentions Summoners in his voice lines, he's also one of the biggest priority champions to get a new voiceover.

Corki - Of all the uncertainties in Voidborn lore at the moment, Corki's lore is the messiest and most confusing we have. Is he Piltovan or in Bandle City? Where did he make his plane, and where and how does he use it now? What other Yordles does he know well, and what does he think of other machinery using Yordles like Rumble and Heimerdinger? Visually, he also definitely needs updates to look more Yordle-like, and his kit, while not horrible, is not that clean, either.

Udyr - When Dragon Oracle Udyr was released last year, fans were happy, but clamoring for him to get a rework just because of how painfully outdated such a new skin looks on his model and animations. His kit isn't bad, but very basic, and we're not even sure whether or not it's lore accurate these days (with the viability of the tiger stance being the biggest point of contention; the other three stances reference Volibear (Bear stance), Anivia (Phoenix stance), and some turtle/tortoise demigod that's hinted in Nunu's short story (Turtle stance)). Visually, as everyone has said, he's probably the worst looking character in the game, now that Pantheon and Mordekaiser have been reworked, and his feet, while not total pizzas, are still small pizzas on top of blocks. Lore-wise, he's fine, but the voicelines definitely don't match anymore.

And if Riot does put the remaining three champions from last year's poll back into the mix, then I would say have those three plus Skarner and Shaco, since those two have the weakest kits of all these three, and that has been Riot's priority ever since after Kayle and Morgana's reworks.

for the love of fuck tryndamere, get rid of that rng bullshit champ

Cind3rkick1/17/2020, 12:28:54 PM2 votes

Probably not Noctourne or Olaf, since they both provide unique aspects to the team.

I think it will be:

Mundo, Annie, Shyvanna, Maokai, Kalista

Dromar4211/17/2020, 12:32:45 PM2 votes

I am thinking Mundo and Udyr. Those 2 need it the most.

Oleandervine1/17/2020, 5:29:42 PM2 votes

I would hope Mundo and Udyr. The both look awful, their kits are overly simple and steroided with numbers to make them function, and both lack functionality if they don't immediately start winning. They're pinnacle stat check champions, and desperately need modernization.

QMighty1/17/2020, 10:46:31 PM2 votes

If he's on there, Shaco would be my top vote. His art is all bad, his lore is nonexistant and his kit is one of those "I don't even want that on my team" cases. Other than that, Chogath DrMundo Amumu Udyr would all be exciting. I'm pretty confident that Shyvana is gonna be reworked in the second half of the year and they just haven't announced her yet, so any three of the ones I said here and Mundo/Nocturne would make me happy (though I really don't care about Nocturne, I don't think he's that bad)

Veselar1/17/2020, 11:35:01 PM2 votes

Alot deserves rework, tbh Riot should focus more on it, than releasing new, empty characters like Yuumi Sett

I'm looking forward for Udyr Amumu Corki Blitzcrank Malphite

Shyvana was confirmed, so I doubt that Mundo and Nocturne are making a comeback.

Udyr and Cho'Gath.

I think it's Shyvana. She won the poll in the Asian market and if there is one thing you can depend on Riot to do it's pander to the Asian market.

Galewinds1/19/2020, 5:48:11 PM1 votes

Cho'Gath and Zilean are both using models that shipped with the original game 10 years ago.

Zoli Ben1/19/2020, 9:53:35 PM1 votes

DrMundo Nocturne Shyvana will be put into the vote by default.

Skarner Quinn will replace Fiddlesticks Volibear . Proof:

{quoted}

It will include any of those options that we haven't started already as we will likely start another VGU before the next VGU poll. In addition there will be new ones as well, with the goal of having roughly 5 choices again.

Skarner is in need of Mordekaiser Urgot Swain level of work: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/di9yjx/got_questions_about_champions_ama/f3udm2l/?context=3

Quinn likely being put up there as a community experiment reaction: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/di9yjx/got_questions_about_champions_ama/f3ugzlf/?context=3
