Can we get our yearly update from @Reav3 on the Tier 1 VGU list

QMighty·2/2/2020, 8:51:58 PM·45 votes·44,653 views

So, the last few years we've gotten an update on the Tier 1 VGU list in February, and that time has come. It's been awhile since Reav3 said anything about this list, and whether we're even getting any more VGU's aside from the voted ones is still up in the air. The previous two lists can be found here and here.

Since the last list, Mordekaiser Pantheon Fiddlesticks Volibear are done. Funny enough, the OP mentioned Panth and four of the five champs that would end up on the VGU poll. The other 2 are DrMundo Nocturne .

I'd imagine high priority targets right now include DrMundo Rammus Nocturne Shyvana Chogath Shaco

P.S. It'd also be nice to hear about the state of VGU's other than "there won't be many of them". Like, are we still getting them outside of the polls? Will there be any more this year besides Fid/Bear?

Are we including the Ezreal-treatment candidates? Because then I would also add Blitzcrank to that list. Blitzcrank

Don't forget all the old Yordles whose models desperately need to be updated.

Seconded.

Maybe there'll be some more info when they talk about Fid/Bear's progress (stealing that btw, I always called this batch Fiddle/Voli), but having these candidates lists here is always convenient.

Every day i await a chogath VGU being announced. It will grant meaning to my hollow existence

Pretty sure we won't be getting a list this year, as Riot announced in their Champ Design video that they're focusing primarily on new champions this year. They probably still have a list of VGU candidates, but since many of them won't be worked on this year I don't think it makes sense to give it to us and get our hopes up.

the fact that you didn't mention Skarner shows how much forgotten and in need of a rework he is.

Try to focus on what you actually like, bc maybe none of them get VGUs. That being said, who are your fave champs atm? Pantheon, one of the last big VGUs, has been trending very negative since not being OP after 8 years of solid play and win rate.

I just hope Mundo is in the vote and people pick him but judging on the last VGU poll if Shyv and Nocturne are still on the poll Mundo will be shafted again because people really want those 2 reworked and with Voli and Fiddle out of the way unless Cho or some other champ is there Im expecting a 2021 Nocturne or Shyv VGU

Isn't the list supposed to be revealed when the VGU vote comes out

CaptainAntiHeroz2/3/2020, 4:47:59 PM1 votes

Rumor has it that its gonna be Fiddle Voli Shyvana new champ, new champ, and the ruined king coming out the same time as the game by the same name

then again these could be false but those are one of the rumors out there

It is difficult to determine who deserves a VGU next. Mundo looks awful. But Nocturne, Corki and Shaco also could use some serious love.

Mundo is Nunu sized update with only E and W rework yet still is in poll. Shyvana only dragon form.
