In the roadmap Riot said that: "Since 2018, we’ve updated 12 champions, and we feel like we’ve gotten through most of the champs in critical need of a VGU."
This statement is surprising and disappointing. There are still tons of champions that desperately need some help. Skarner's pickrate is so low he doesn't even have data on op.gg . Udyr's been missing features and has been so forgotten it's not even funny. Kog'Maw doesn't see play at all unless Lulu is meta and his role as a hybrid damage hypercarry has been completely overshadowed by Kai'Sa, and that's only 3 champions. There's still Shyvana, Ziggs (who?), Corki, Aurelion Sol, Malphite, Taliyah, and Tahm Kench that all either have almost no play rate, binary boring kits that feel outdated and lack identity, or unhealthy or unfun gameplay that needs to be addressed and reworked somewhat (ASol, Taliyah and Tahm fit in here).
I love new champions. They're very exciting and build hype when they come into the game, but it's disheartening that so many champions just get left in the dust and forgotten because Riot doesn't think it's worth it. Even something small like Ezreal's update would do so much to revive a lot of the older forgotten champions.
