ROADMAP

Wait. A new ADC, linked to the void. Swain's voicelines mention Kassadin's daughter might not be dead...

OH SHIT SON.

So Nunu is next after Akali.

Killaburn, before dying from adrenaline, do you have any words?

Prays for Akali to lose her triple jump ult Riot: LOL

Void ADC from the look of things?

Called it. It's Akali.

<3 and that tease <3

Great, a high risk-high reward ADC, a nightmare to balance. The issue with these champions is that the risk is significantly decreased for one-tricks who have a great proficiency with the champion. In their hands such a champion will blatantly become broken.

With ADCs already in such a terrible spot (balance wise), is this really the direction you want to be going Riot? Seems like Riot has given up on bringing any semblance of balance to this game.

the new champ sounds like quinn to me, another duelist marksmen impossible to balance betwenn overbearing when ahead and useless when behind [sg-janna]

Well is next up and they got a fixed plan for her, that's good. is getting a GP/Tristana Treatment so I might think that the update won't take the usual 6 months like the other VGUs The new marksman is probably Void-Related. is finally in the works. is next up for the VGU slot.

I hope for Update the most, to be honest, since I wanna have more Noxus related lore.

God its going to take forever till they get back to redoing Shen after they said they were unsatisfied with his thematic... I really cant wait a set amount of years.

Looks like the next champ is gonna be void-related marksman(because lets be honest here,that is definetly a void rift in the image).

Irelia seems to get a pretty big overhaul to her kit after all,which honestly isn't very surprising as her current one barely used her "levitating blades"-theme at all.

Also we now know that is the next VGU and after her will most likely come (I mean they did post a picture of a snowball after all).

It looks like they'll try to add some unique themes to Akali(judging by the picture she might be themed around smoke) and don't change her lore that much(granted her current lore has almost nothing in it,so there isn't really much to change)

From what we've heard so far,this would mean that there are only 1 or 2 spaces for another VGU this year left(kinda hope its gonna be and )

CertainlyT makes Akali ^-^

Woo, get a few more months with my main.

So will this ADC be Kass's daughter, or a straight up Void monster? Any bets?

Okay, let me take a swing at guessing release windows. Please note: these guess are based on the idea that things run smoothly. There is a chance sonething could happen that delays Rito's work.

The new champ will likely be out in 1-2 months. Not to hard to guess that.

I still expect to be out in the Spring. Early spring if I have to be more specific.

For , it's a bit harder. It sounds like they have a solid direction for his kit now. The fact that it's gameplay only means it shouldn't take as long as a VGU. But it's still going to require some time & I don't know how far along they are. Within the next 5 months at least.

will likely be out sometime during the 2nd half of the Summer. Maybe a little later depending on how production goes.

(I'm 99.9% sure it's Nunu) will be out around the fall.

Welp, I made my most likely incorrect guesses.
