@Riot, can you please hype up new champions more?

I don’t know about other people, but lately I haven’t really been feeling too hyped up about any new champions. And I feel like they should start hyping up champions like they did with Kindred or Jinx. I wasn’t around for Jinx’s reveal, but I was for Kindred, and they had a lot of teasers and stuff, and it got me so hyped. And I did look up all of Jinx’s teasers, and she was extremely hyped from what I could tell, the website graffiti, the wanted posters, the music video. I just want to feel excited about new champions again.

Edit: Just to clarify, I don't mean they should do it to EVERY new champ, that would be a lot of work, but at least every now and then would be nice.

Edit 2: I’m also not saying they should make more champs/less champs. No where in my post does it say anything about that.

You're forgetting Jhin. From what I hear, his release was pretty hyped up as well.

I feel ya

I remember Kled 's teaser in-game, which had my head in multiple directions, all hyped up to see what the actual creature was. The posters were really cool and innovative too.

The others had voice lines in-game, like AurelionSol on abyss and Ivern in the jungle. Hearing them made you wonder what type of character they are.

I don't like these "image in reav3's roadmap" teasers, just feels forced and uninteresting. Imagine how much cooler it would be if kayn's teaser was rhaast hanging over your head occasionally, rather then just an eye..

Oh boy I remember the good old Jinx days...With champion pages graffiti and the bomb music video

The last time I got hyped for a new champion/VGU was Swain. The last time Riot did something to hint at a new champion was Zoe, and that was really just putting a chance for her bubble to hit someone in fountain at the start of the game.

So yeah, I'm definitely up for them doing more like that.

Hey you know that map that was just released? Yeah that. Don't you think that took juuuust a little bit of time and resources?

because we don't need new champs, we need fixes, re balances, etc., shit riot doesn't know how to do, this game is dying, fast, i guarantee its down to at most, 1 million active players (down from 20) because of their terrible team

Would also like to see some cool teasers for new champs,however they shouldn't be dragged out too much.

Jhin had some pretty epic teasers,but after a while I lost quite some interest because he just took extremely long to get released.

Y'all remember the Elementalist Lux teasers and everyone was speculating what all the bubbles were about? Damn I really wish Riot would go back to actually appreciating and valuing their work by making their releases feel unique and special. Nowadays it feels like Riot's tryna pop out as much content as they can without putting much effort in their actual releases. Quite frankly it takes away from making their content feel special.

I'm happy they don't. If they hyped up Kai'Sa like they did Jhin, Kalista or Jinx, it would've made the disappointment worse
