I was wondering since Aatrox will a massive kit overhaul if he will get a full reveal page as VGUs and new champs get. Cus lets be honest the guy deserves it.

Not sure, that will be up to our promo team

I know you guys essentially restarted on Aatrox but does Jag have a direction he wants take him gameplay wise, like does he still want him as a sustain based diver

Still to early. We hopefully should have a more solid direction I can share in the next Champion Roadmap.

And when would that be? I assume it should be after Swain who should come out in 2 to 3 months.

They usually do em after major reworks yeah

Would the roadmap be after the new champ drops? And is that when you'll announce what VGU that team is working on?

World EnderOct 19, 20171 votes

You said that last time grrrrrrrr

I sense a trend here

If you hadn't announced him do you think you would have iceboxed by now?

RiotReav3Oct 19, 20171 votes

Not likely. We know Aatrox is very high on players list for Champions that need a rework

If you truly believe that then how come so many champion reworks randomly popping up in front of Aatrox rework? hell, even totally new champs jumping the line. its sad how you guys can make 4 news champions but fixing 1 you guy made years ago.

Are you guys aiming for primary top lane? I know he can do both but I think his fantasy is more of a duilest than a ganker personally plus we already have kayn in the jungle

How long will it take until the next champion Roadmap. And is the new champion gonna be released before or after the next one's?

RiotReav3Oct 19, 20172 votes

I'm planning to do the next one sometime shortly after Swain releases

SpideraxeOct 19, 20171 votes

Also could I ask about Swain, since you guys want him to be a ruthless dictator who leads his people on the battlefield that it's safe to assume you guys keep him as a battlemage

Super awesome to see such a quick response to a question. You guys have been really on top of some of these issues lately and it's nice to see!

Hey bud. No Shen comments this time.

Would you guys consider doing a detailed behind the scenes process of a rework?

Please consider how Blizzard documented and published the series about the archlich KT:

Looking forward to some awesome, intuitive hero designs.

I think having some more indepth designer insight will help us understand why and how you reworked the champion .... especially for someone so iconic such as Irelia.

Have a great day

I'm wondering what will they keep in his kit?

I imagine Q and W will stay the same or similar.
