Chose a VGU for 2020

If we assume Volibear is Reinboom's VGU, that will come at the end of the year, he isn't gonna be in the 5 polled champion, I am just curious to see who the boards would like to chose for a guaranteed 2020 VGU. I am pretty sure about the first 3 choice, but in case it is Nocturne who is being worked on then Voli will be taking his place most likely. I tried to balance between modernization choices (Nocturne Shyvana) and full blown rework candidates. Keep in mind my choices could turn out to be wrong, but I have some confidence that these are the most likely ones they'd consider for this vote out of the current tier 1 candidates and I am doing this to see a smaller group of peoples opinions.

I can't believe the they said Mordekaiser was the last of the "pizza feet" champions, when Dr. Mundo's feet still terrorize the rift.

It's going to suck choosing for me. I know they'll put up 5 champions that sorely need VGUs and they're gonna make us choose between them.

I wonder who's gonna be there to vote on. Definitely Volibear / Nocturne (whichever doesn't come after Panth), and I agree with you that Fiddlesticks and DrMundo would most likely be there as they seem to be in the most dire need out of the remaining champs. The rest are kind've up in the air. Maybe it'll be Rammus and Chogath since, along with Morde/Panth/Mundo, they're the only ones left from the original Tier 1 list? Maybe it'll be something like Udyr and Shyvana , who people seem to be especially excited about as of late (along with the other four I mentioned first) Or maybe it'll be something totally out of left field and we'll see something like Malphite or Tryndamere in the poll, something that Reav3's never mentioned. That would shake things up. But most likely they won't even think that hard about it. We know they're always trying to come up with concepts for VGU's (heck that's what the Tier 1 list is about, the champs they're actively talking about), and we'll just see the five projects that are being talked about the most at the moment. In any case, I want Fiddlesticks the most at this point. I've wanted to see him get VU'd ever since A Twist of Fate came out back in... 2013?! Was it really that long ago? Okay, yeah. Give Fiddle his due.

I'll be honest it would either be Nocturne or Mundo. The other champions listed certainly have their issues but other than "stale" kit they seem fine (not as OP as recently worked champions, but still good).

Udyr should have been on that poll. Everyone wants him updated already. Plus his new lore is awesome; his voice lines should reflect that.

No Udyr in the poll? He and Volibear would have been my first picks.

Anyways, I went with Nocturne, with Corki as a close second, since Corki hasn't gotten any lore based content for a long time, and I think Riot has a vision of Nocture set out that we haven't seen yet. I would like to know what it is.

Volibear doesn't need a VGU so why would he be getting one

Who is Reinboom anyway lmao I don't want some random touching my champion

Fiddlesticks

Noc for sure.

My vote goes to Volibear. Volibear While visually he doesn't seem the most outdated, the problem with him is lore vs. game depiction. By that, I mean the Thousand-Pierced Bear in lore most likely looks VASTLY different than our Golden Compass https://ewedit.files.wordpress.com/2017/11/mcdgoco_ec024.jpg

I'm just saying that, at least for some of the others, they don't have a dissonance where the current model fully betrays what their lore selves are.

I do think Udyr is 1 of the more deserving as well as Mundo, but neither of their models betray their story. Volibear does.

Lyaso4/24/2019, 11:49:47 AM2 votes

I would say that in order these champions should be getting there VGUs -> Volibear Nocturne Fiddlesticks DrMundo . The rest of the VGU Tier 1 list are kinda the same.

So, my extended vote is in order Kog'Maw > Nocturne > Mundo > Corki > Anivia.

I was recently given a survey about "feeling good/bad" about using my Blackfrost Anivia skin. I said that minus a little polish, I felt it was a great skin. After a night to sleep on it, I realized that Anivia is booty. The models and animations for that character, even after the updates are bland and lackluster. Blackfrost should be the baseline Anivia skin. Anything below that skin should be vaulted and is definitely below-par for Riot's 2020 standards imho. If you see @RiotBlaustoise tell him I want to re-answer my survey.

Edit: Papercraft is lit, apologies to anyone I may have offended.

Fiddlesticks for sure.

He has such a cool power fantasy, but so blandly delivered. He should be a fear monster spooky at all stages of the game, and not a walking point clicker caster. He is so boring to see and to play against, he just gets in range and clicks on you 3 times with his AoE around him, his only way of skill expression is the use of his Ult and therefore positioning. His ult sure ise the peak of spookiness, but that's just about it.

Nocturne would be another one I'd like to see, another fear champion that is so poorly delivered, and relies on his ult to be really spooky, while just being an autoattacker the rest of the time.

Their lore can be explored as well, that's for sure.

Tbh, I'm kinda sad they said Morde was the last one on that scale update, I hope they meant the whole reimagining of kit and abilities, while the others need just Visuals and some abilities + some lore?

Because there are lots of champs with such potential but held back by their age Shyvana with more dragon-ness, DrMundo with maybe more buffs/debuffs, Skarner with more, just everything please, and such.

Top priority: Tryndamere Fiddlesticks Good candidates: Malphite Nocturne DrMundo Volibear maybe Veigar

Linna Excel4/24/2019, 12:02:41 AM1 votes

I voted for mundo because I'm scared about what they might do to Shyvana.

Haedrig4/24/2019, 3:48:08 PM1 votes

Dr. Mundo is by far the most terrible champ I've seen in the game, he is a terror in low elo, but the worst trash beyond that, from jg perspective, he has no cc, god awful clears that leave him susceptible to early invades and easy kills 1 passive from 3 items completely shuts him down (grievous wounds), this newer gen of champs all have some level of execute abilities (pyke, kaisa, Evelyn, etc) that make his ult a worthless because he gets bursted down. He needs a full VGU as much as vlad and vayne need nerfs, he has a 48% winrate with a 2.9% pick rate so even mundo players can't win with him, he has virtually no games ( >5000 in diamond+) all of which are negative win rate's because he's terrible. Rework Mundo so i can play him please [zombie-nunu-tears]
