Honestly Morde needs it quite a bit. Not only for his kit, but also his VGU is attrocious. Beyond that Akali, Aatrox, Mundo, Karthus, Voli, Lissandra, Kayle, are likely overdue for some changes of somekind

For me, I would like to see some minor or major changes to Wukong, TF, and Ryze to assist them. Wukong hasn't been near the meta for about 3 years, TF has to me, an outdated kit that is essentially Poke, Special Auto, Auto Counter, Teleport. Ryze has been low winrate for a long time and is still taking nerfs (Zhonya's+ult interaction, Single-Target Spell minion aggro, ect).

Wukong just needs a change to something to make him either a better laner or a better jungler, TF needs something added like a passive or a different active, and Ryze needs an actual ultimate that is usable in Soloque

Why... why get my hopes up?

Chembaron YamadaJan 31, 20182 votes

Rammus I really hope it's Rammus. And it should come today... They said "later this month" and it is the very last day of the month.

My hope is with either Mordekaiser, Nunu, Pantheon or Mundo. Mundo seems the least likely, as Riot said they were taking a break from Zaun champs.

HaeringFeb 1, 20181 votes

But Mundo still needs a rework, desperatly

GarentheonJan 31, 20181 votes

Upvote for Pantheon

Even though I really doubt it’s him

Valor BotJan 31, 20181 votes

I’m really hoping it’ll be Kayle . Aside from the fact she can be so much more exciting as a champion, I need to know whether my theory of her being the Veiled Lady (or perhaps some other form of Demacian religious figure) is true!

Moonboy65Jan 31, 20181 votes

you are forgetting someone Morgana

Valor BotJan 31, 20181 votes

I didn’t forget her, I’m just more excited for Kayle :)

My moneys on Mordekaiser or Akali but I really want it to be Pantheon but considering Irelia is a diver they won’t go from one diver vgu to another. But there are still three vgu spots left after that for 2018 so fingers crossed

It’d be magnificent if the ‘something extra’ reav mentioned will be revealing all the remaining VGUs for the year or maybe even a splash art or voice update

Gawd when will the roadmap release already the hype is massive*[sg-janna]*

Also, the next champion is probably Kassadin daughter lol. Riot is killing memes it seems.

RiotReav3Jan 31, 201813 votes

Pacific (GMT -8), that's where Riot is. 1.5 hrs from now

Illâoi Evê SiônJan 31, 20181 votes

How many hours is that where you are at?

MuffledGarbageJan 31, 20181 votes

Have you started testing some new moves or do you like do a giant drawing board brainstorm type deal and program in moves later?

kargishJan 31, 20186 votes

Insert obligatory off-topic question about game balance here

DeadUnbornJan 31, 20181 votes

Hey so I picked up all the bread crumbs you left on the Roadmap:

Kassadin's Daughter is the next marskman (a champion being null)
New Marksman Ult will teleport her and an enemy to the enemy side of the map (no matter where it takes them. This new champion’s best players will go deep into enemy territory and thrive,)
Irelia will have an ability that lets her by-pass or break enemy shields
Aatrox anims and Sword will be changed so that it is larger (maybe reusing Ult state Sword?)
Obviously Nunu is next VGU

That was fun!

Emo TwinkJan 31, 20181 votes

I'm really thinking Fiddlesticks or Volibear...

Abraxus followerJan 31, 20181 votes

hmmm anyone know who it is yet ?

RaiyzaJan 31, 20181 votes

Looks like Irelia, Aatrox, and Akali. There's also a new marksman in the works.

What I like about this roadmap is that it concentrates more on reworking champions than releasing new ones.
