I personally think Mordekaiser deserves to be the next VGU the most.

Come on, look at those pizza feet. He is also a major antagonist in the game's lore so he really needs it lore wise..

And all the Mordekaiser enthusiasts in the boards deserve to see their champion finally getting what he deserves.

I was kinda shocked when they announced aatrox as the "most requested Rework".

Meanwhile I'm standing here like. dafuq.

**Aatrox's rework is labelled as GUs not VGUs. ** That means the current process of VGUs will not be affected by him at all.

Champ teams who are working on Eve Urgot and Aatrox are seperated team

I just don't understand why most of people keep referring to Aatrox when talking about next VGUs.

Mordepool3 votes

Could be on how they conveyed the information as being Sequential without distinction.

Urgot. Eve, aatrox.

TheHappyReaperz3 votes

On the list of champions to be updated, this one, Riot states that Aatrox's rework will only be gameplay, unlike the other VGU's.

Monotachi4 votes

The thing is, Riot doesn't actually release the stats for most requested VGU on a list. Not every single player of LoL reads the boards or even participates, so just because the boards think something, doesn't accurately represents the majority of the whole playerbase's opinions.

In that sense, the boards and even LoL reddit are a vocal minority in the grand scheme of things.

Unfortunately, he won't get it soon. I read somewhere that they won't do a Zaun champion for the next time because we already got Warwick and Urgot....

But Urgot is from Noxus.

Or did they screw up the lore again and now he's from Zaun?

Chembaron Yamada5 votes

Urgot was born in Noxus and was a heads man there. But Swain betrayed him and sold him to Zaun as a slave.

There he became that chemtech augmented dude killing chembarons. He is not undead anymore.

While he is born Noxian, he will probably considered a Zaunite champion. His visuals are more fitting for that city anyway. At least he has very strong ties to Zaun.

All right so they completely changed his lore then.

The same I wrote about Dr. Mundo.... Unfortunately, Blitzcrank won't get a rework soon. Since we already got Warwick and Urgot, the teams will avoid Zaun related champions for the next time.

AFK Push2 votes

It was such a shitty excuse. I mean while you're giving WW and Urgod VGUs, Singed a rework, it makes perfect sense to take a look at mundo.

Isn't blitz from piltover?

Isn't blitz from piltover?

Zaun is underneith Piltover in the lore, but Stanwick(Zaun) built Blitz and his designer was Viktor. I think he's allied with Piltover though the last lore thing we had was basically him hanging out on this giant elevator called the howler and saving a bunch of people who fell. It goes between Piltover and Zaun so I guess he's part of both?

Chembaron Yamada3 votes

Yep, since Zaun and Piltover are intertwined with each other that much recently, you can make the argument that they fit in both for many of them.

However, in universe Blitzcrank is registered as a Zaun champion and as far as I know most of his lore is more related to that district as well. He was built to remove hazardous waste and since he got selfawareness, he is using his strength to protect the people. Compared to Zaun, Piltover is a pretty safe place. Compare the danger of some intrigues (something Blitzcrank would definitely nothing have to do with) and Jinx as the major thread in Piltover to things like Twitch, Warwick, Urgot, Dr. Mundo and who knows what else in Zaun. Not to mention the toxins in the air and incidents happening there.

Zaun is alot more dangerous than Piltover, hence why he feels dedicated making it a safer place.

This is all true, ttue, true. His skins need some touching ip, too. With all the awsome effects Riot comes up with for champs nowadays, I'd be really exited for more animations and unique animations for each of his skins

I just hope he stays as a melee carry with high damage, low mobility, heals, and the same ult

I'm so sure that Swain Mordekaiser Nunu are very strong candidates for the next. If Morde wouldn't get the slot after Urgot. I'm sure he is the next project of Eve's team.

The thing I fear the most is him being turned into a tank or an AD bruiser or something. I love his identity as an AP fighter who gets tankier the more damage he deals.

I'm on the same page. I really love everything about Morde. I love his passive, his ult, his heals, his damage, and literally his ability to build ANYTHING.. The only thing that is fustrating is his 325 MS.

I feel like if he got a tiny Movespeed buff, he wouldn't even need a VGU, rather just a VISUAL update, which we can all agree Morde needs. His skins don't do anything unique from the base skins, and are rather boring. Also, pizza feet

not a chance. shadow isles champ back to back is a big no no. maybe after the next VGU after the next to evelynn.

Monotachi1 votes

And we have two Shadow Isles champs so far, Yorick and now Eve. Morde deserves a VGU, definitely, but we need diversity here. Too many 'dark' champion VGUs lately (WW, Yorick, Urgot, Eve).

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

Let's take Rammus then! Rammus Lighthearted character and he is from Shurima, a region we didn't get a VGU from recently.

Monotachi1 votes

Any champs from the Tier 1 list with light-hearted themes, not dark ones, and from regions we haven't got one from yet would be good. Akali IreliaNunu Pantheon Volibear Rammus

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

The only champs of these I would consider lighthearted are Rammus and Nunu, though.

Depends on the directions they take. Akali is a ninja, potential for dark backstory. Pantheon is the aspect of war and was capturing Aurelion Sol, serious business. Irelia could be more intertwined with Ionia military and the Noxus invasion, dark backstory. Volibear should become a serious chieftain and war leader in my opinion, he is in Sejuanis clan, so pretty serious.

But they won't dare taking away the oddball Rammus and I expect Nunu to become a friendly yordle.

Monotachi1 votes

In that perspective, sure. I was talking about dark meaning themes in terms of look and feel around death, grave, gore, etc. Something Yorick, WW, Eve and Urgot clearly show. The colours used are of murkiness.

For example, the champions you listed - their stories can have a dark undertone to them, but they not defined as 'dark' themselves.

Mogarl1 votes

I hope Nunu doesn't become a yordle. The story of a boy and his yeti is a much better one than "friendly Yordle with friendly yeti"

casually enjoys Morde perfectly fine how he is

Kingslayer Riven2 votes

Yeah, as a morde main, i fully agree. (Then again, why woudn't I)

Mogarl2 votes

The last thing Riot should do is rush a Mordekaiser VGU just because he "deserves it". I would rather he ends up showing up next Febuary than this year and broken to hell with gameplay issues with a kit that doesn't stick. I have no real interest in playing Mordekaiser, but I don't want to have to deal with another 6 months of half the threads on boards being about Mordekaiser.

GreenLore3 votes

Well considering that there are ~6 months between each VGU of a team and that urgot is coming out in july,it is safe to say that the next VGU after Eve will likely come out during January/febuary next year...

Danjeng2 votes

That's his manhood. If Morde gets little feet in the VGU, Pantheon will reign supreme with his giant feet.

Wrathof3001 votes

Morde has new lore, therefore his VGU is purely for gameplay reasons, nice try.

Lùmen3 votes

For his character to be up to date with the new lore. His quotes don't make any sense

Wrathof3003 votes

He doesn't need a VGU for that, as we saw when Lux got her new VO. I'm not saying he shouldn't get a VGU, he is in my top 3 for a VGU, I am just pointing out that you used the term 'lorewise' mostly to spice up your post although I understand your point of view in your choice of words.

ChaosThief1 votes

Morde doesn't really need a full VGU. He more needs just a visual update than anything.

Lùmen3 votes

I think gameplay update as in fixing his 101+ bugs but other than that, he is fine

ChaosThief1 votes

Yeah that too. From what I can tell that's a joke with morde mains as well, considering the pet AI.

You don't half the pain that it is to get the dragon to attack the tower without switching targets all the time, especially when he tries to follow you after you go back no matter how many times you target the tower. Makes me reconsider life whenever it happens

he needs a skin just for those feet.

I vote for pizza delivery (or pizza party) skins. including sivir (throwing pizzas), mordekaiser (pizza feet), and HELP ME THINK OF MORE.

Pizza Mascot Mordekiaser

Maybe Baker Mordekiaser instead

TBH at least Morde's Pizza Feet are justifiable since he's wearing oversized angular armor. IDK how we still have that as a thing on Udyr & Singed though. And you should've seen how bad Nidalee and Sivir were...
