@Meddler Next New Champion

Shadowkirby14··3 votes·3,674 views

I remember someone mentioning that there will be one more champion coming up before Warwick's VGU, and I just want to know how soon it'll come and what can we expect from it? Haven't seen any significant teasers for the final champion of 2016 so far.

Current plan is still a new champion before the Warwick update yeah. Teasers and details are things the new champion team will be doing as usual when the time's right for those.

It's the idea of releasing WW before the end of the year scrapped? Or it is still possible?

GreenLore1 votes

Looks rather unlikely for WW to come out this year. The next patch will likely come out late in november and the patch afterwards will come out early december. Since Riot does a break at the end of the year,they tend to only release a single patch during december(unless the first december patch was super early),meaning that we'll likely have only 2 patches ahead of us this year and we know the next patch won't include the next champion(only elementalist lux and balance changes).

Is it too early for expecting a new ad mid assassin?

I hope for a new top lane tank.

What is up with Grey Warwick and the Urf the Manatee Skin after the rework?

Is this supposed to happen this year or this is just generally in the future?

I guess it'd be likely for the next champ to come out in december. We pretty much had one new champion or rework every month this year January-We've got Shen and Jhin Febuary-Nothing,though we got 2 things during January March-Aurelion Sol April-Taric rework May-Mage-update&Taliyah June-Had nothing,but the may had 2 things to make up for that July-Ryze update August-Kled Septmber-Yorick rework October-Ivern November-Assassin rework

So it looks like there is a good chance that we'll get at least something during december.

When you put it like that it looks like it's actually been a pretty good year for League.

Wait...one more champion before Warwick?

BUT I WANT HIM NOW!!!

Oh well. Hope it is a tank.

A tank would be nice, we haven't had a tank for a while. Tahm was the last one. And Illaoi was a juggernaut, not a tank.

We haven't had many supports (Ivern is still jg) so they might make a tank supp. I would really like an engage tank though.

Kled is pretty tanky if u ask me

Ralanr1 votes

Don't make him a tank. He's a damage threat.

Kled is a weird case where most of his abilities focus on him being a diver but his passive can turn him into a juggernaut.

Which is tanky and annoying. But not exactly a tank by the definitions Riot uses.

I totally agree, It's just that I used to play characters like Sion, Leona & Nautilus (asides from my waifu Illaoi :v) so the BC, Hydra and then Tank is a common build to use on him for me :)

A bruiser like renek ect so...

A diver then. Though Riot calls him a skirmisher.

Arakadia1 votes

He's not a tank though.

Why do you want another champion to be removed from the game? Lol

Ralanr1 votes

Because I really like these full VGU's and when Warwick comes out we get a nice lore update and a bunch of lore tidbits.

Hm. I guess a lore update is nice. Not to mention, his VO is pathetic. His lines are just... I don't know. They all make me laugh, when I'm pretty sure they should be scary instead. It's going to be sad to see his entire kit get scrapped, though.

Ralanr1 votes

I mean, yeah. But his kit really doesn't do much.

2017 is still 50 days approx away? Season 6 just ended, Assassin reworks are live, Plants are live, new alistar is live. new Queue is live, Elemental Lux is live.

Give them a break. Between now and 2017 should will be plenty of time for them to release a new champion...maybe.

this guy must have missed the latest update. only way i could see any justification to such ignorance and impatience.
