The Next VGU after Irelia

So, in this link Spideraxe (a rioter) has given some indications about Irelia rework. It is a champion played on top and jungle right now, which means this is definitely not and (he is barely played top). But who are hybrid? . It has to be one of this five. Rumors spread (I don't have source if someone has) that CertainlyT loves Rammus. This is confirmed to be his next project so I'd guess based on the fact we have seen concept arts floating around, it is

Please let it be Pantheon.

He says that Reav3's blog post should reveal fit soonish.... when is that soonish? [sg-janna]

I need to know who it is. I want it to be Rammus so badly.

If it is Pantheon they better not fuck up dragon Slayer, I love the chromas they gave us for it in the BE deals. Only if they had a black/yellow-gold one would I have been more happy.

Just want to point out: the character study page for Rammus wasn't made by CertainlyT, but another Rioter who worked on Warwick as well and it was the time around Warwick's VGU when this page was made.

So it just shows us that they were investigating Rammus in the past as a candidate, but it doesn't confirm him to be the next VGU.

If its a character being played top and jungle, could that mean JarvanIV ? His model IS getting pretty outdated, though I personally don't feel like his kit's too bad. He's just who pops into mind when I hear 'top and jungle.'

Tier 1 candidates are https://i.imgur.com/11EDWRI.jpg these, yes Xin is still t1, he still is high in untapped potential, the minirework is just to hold off him for like 1,5 years.

Could be Pantheon or Shaco

Rammus rarely goes top lane.

Where’s the proof that this is confirmed to be his next project. Because I saw nothing of the like.

And, unless I’m missing something, I haven’t seen yet, Spideraxe prove he’s a reliable source

EDIT: Also. He’s not a Rioter. Look it up

I don't know for you but with this information: «They are generally usually seen in the top or jg, Reav3's blogpost should reveal then soon enough», I really doubt it will be Pantheon. I sincerly think, it will be Nunu/Willump since is the champion who fit the ''they'' more likely ! ^^

NEVER forget Blitzcrank.

The dude should look like this:

Couldn't it also be j4, Olaf, Jax, voli, trynda or malphite?

Its going to be Aatrox, Akali and Nunu are rumoured to be after Aatrox but that's as far as it goes. The Top/Jg champ that they were talking about is Aatrox. [slayer-jinx-unamused] Finally

After Nunu, It has to be ether Pantheon or Mordekaiser...then Cho Gath.

Nunu was already hinted in the last champion roadmap though. So it's him and Akali next. After them though, maybe that's what spideraxe was talking about? In that case, I'd say either Pantheon , Volibear or Olaf , because they're the champs that AFAIK are commonly seen in both roles (jungle/top). Morde is pretty much only top, as well as mundo (although he has far higher win rate in jungle). Rammus is 99% played in jungle Chogath kinda shifts depending on the state of the game, so he could be a candidate as well.

That said, I'd like Olaf to get a visual update eventually, but I don't think his kit is too bad. Voli and panth on the other hand could use some improvements in both areas.
