A devblog about what the champion update teams are working on for the future! Take a read!
Oh and before anyone asks, Galio's the next target for the Yorick team.
HYPE FOR THE GARGOYLE!!!
I'm actually scared of what assassins will be if the mages were too safe.
Hmm, I'd have hoped we'd get more ideas of the next champions to be given VGUs. Warwick was one everyone knew about, and we'll likely see him by November, maybe earlier to get him out for Halloween, since he kind of fits the season. Which means Galio should be out early 2017.
I'm going to be honest, I'm going to be extremely disappointed if they don't get to Swain next year. If Riot is so adamant to refuse him any skins until a VGU, he should be at the top of their list. It's getting a bit ridiculous.
When I really wanted to apply at riot, I was working on a special portfolio just for you guys that had ideas for A Yorick rework and a Warwick rework XD along with a couple new champions. I haven't shared them since 1. Yorick and Warwick were later announced to have reworks and i decided to no longer apply since i didnt want to risk signing a non compete as me and my friends were starting up a indie team of our own. But I actually had a couple Ideas and was working on a Warwick rework that would make him fun and keep him as really easy to play. I always thought his biggest flaw in terms of pre-6 ganking was that he lacked proper engage. As a "Feral" beast-Man I felt like adding a small dash to his kit. Doesn't go over walls but allows for him to have simple pre-6 ganking but in the right hands can also be a very useful tool for either starting a fight or escaping. I thought about adding this to his Q almost like a lunge of sorts for his swipe. The swipe would still heal like it does now and have a low cooldown. An alternative to this is his lunge works on a charge system (you guys seem to enjoy those) It recharges after so much. I thought his current E could be a part of his passive. It would be a global passive similar to kindred. If a enemy champion is below X% health WW gains additional movement speed while moving towards the target champion and they become marked. If he kills the target, they gain a stack which increases WW's damage to that champion. BUT if that champion would kill WW they would remove all current stacks they have and this would be similar to the myth about werewolves. In order to cure yourself of the curse is to kill your maker. His W and Ult were the same as they were but it opened up a spot for his E. His passive also had scaling increased lifesteal. It increased based on level of 1/6/11/16/18 and it essentially just gave him more survivability since Ive always felt it was his bread and butter. I also thought his AP scalings were very awkward. Replacing them with AD scalings would make him just a lot more together and he would receive more benefits. It would also add him more to the Juggernaut category he seems to fit and less to how most of your traditional tank champions are set up with primarily AP scaling. I also thought for his animations that it'd be cool if he Moved on both his hand and feet more like an actual wolf or Werewolf would but if he stood still kinda stood on his feet and using one hand for support. It would increase the theme of him turning into this Feral beast. You guys are more than welcome to use any of the ideas or none of the ones I have said. I have plenty of other ideas for champions if you would like to contact me i'm more than willing to share. Good luck on the project and future champion reworks.
I'm a little surprised. I did not expect Galio to hit the 2017 table.
Thinking Evelynn might not end up a 2017 rework after all. Or Urgot isn't going to get one. I really hoped Urgot was going to be the next project since I knew Evelynn was going to be put on hold to see how the stealth and assassin changes impacted her. Now I'd feel a bit bad if Evelynn gets one instead of Urgot. I mean... March 2012 (Urgot's last skin). Update the guy already. We all know that's why there aren't skins being released for him.
I think it would be hilarious if the Warwick team's next project turns out to be Singed. Revised Warwick lore immediately followed with revised Singed lore. It would feel natural. Although I could see them using the same "avoiding darker champions" reason to do Nunu instead. Whichever they pick, I don't see them running with Evelynn or Urgot.
Idle speculation at its finest.
