I'm confused. Is the "faith" section about Senna or is it teasing another marksman? Fiddle looks pretty cool.

It’s a different new Champ
Hey /u/Reav3 could you share whose working on the far off new champs, it should be Maxw3ll and Jag right
Maxwell is working on the Jungler and EndlessPillows is working on the melee carry
Do you think Senna is gonna be viable as an ADC or do you really need to lock her in as a support?
I think she will be viable as a ADC or support
Melee carry like Jax,Yasuo,Trynd style correct ?
yes
I'm pretty sure it came directly from Riot
/u/Reav3 thoughts?
I have never commented on release dates, and likely never will. I'm not sure how that rumor got started.
Who is doing the next marskman and juggernaut?
CertainlyT did the original design for the next Marksmen, and then Stashu took it over when he went to work on TFT. RiotAxes was the designer on the Juggernaut. He also recently went over to work on TFT so TwinEnso has taken it over
[removed]
yes
Out of the Ionian underground comes a smokin’ hot new juggernaut.
/u/Reav3 Are you able to tell us if this is a male or female character?
Not yet
Don't you think there is already too much Ionian champion?
I'd appreciate more Shuriman champion for example. Or Noxus.
Every other region is dwarfed by Ionia in numbers.
There are a lot, but when we were exploring a juggernaut we realized that there currently are no Ionian Juggernauts, so we felt we could create something unique in the Ionian space. Ionia is also the region that always comes out way on top when we survey players on there favorite region, so it make sense we would make more Champs from that region since there is high demand
Are they cute
Of course ;)
How about a solo lane?
Doubt it, some of her abilities are much stronger with a ally nearby

I didn't say monster, I said non-human.
I love you, this + the new marskman by CertainlyT is making me very happy. I was disappointed with Senna being support, but the new champ being a full Marksman compensates quite well.
<3
CertainlyT did the original design for the next Marksmen
Holy shit yes, I'm so excited. He's my favorite designer (don't hate me Reddit, I have my reasons and I know it's controversial) and it seems like it will be a very difficult ADC to master judging from the description.
Probably the most difficult to master in the game, get ready to put some games in
Who's the designer on Senna?
August
So we should expect a 30% winrate on release then, got it.
That seems like it could be high
Similar to Fiora?
yes
u/Reav3 are you allowed to say who is coming out first between Fiddle and Voli rework? With Fiddle being the first champ that drew me into the game in Season 2 his update has me so excited.
Fiddle will be first, The roadmap is always in release order
So we can expect news on the next ADC by January I guess? Maybe February?
Maybe even earlier, who's to say
If Senna has her gun back does that mean Lucian will only be using one?
She has a new gun
[deleted]
In the roadmap I talk about the next Champion after Senna, which is a ADC
I'd like to point out it's been 2 years since our official latest jungle champ, that being Kayn... And from the looks of it, it's gonna take about a year more for this one they hinted slightly at...
Cries in jungle main
We at least Voli and Fiddle are junglers. Also Qiyana and Sylas can jungle as well
I thought the last "straight forward Juggernaut" they added was Mordekaiser's rework? Surely he's not considered a super advanced champion?
Looking forward to the next bruiser regardless.
Meant New champs, not a VGU
we made a more straightforward, accessible juggernaut, with Darius being the last
I guess they forgot about Illaoi.
Illaoi is not straightforward and accessible
Really though, if Fiddlesticks is a support and not a jungler I'm gonna be super sad.
We are designing it as a jungler
What about the juggernaut? Weren't these two supposed to come out before the end of the year originally?
Who said that?
It? I thought you guys always assigned a gender, even to things that technically don't have one. (Blitzcrank, Bard, etc.)
No one knows what Fiddle is
I guess I could just wait n find out in 2 weeks but I gotta ask, will lucian and senna talk to each other like xayah and rakan?
Yes, of course
But will she jungle?
Doubtful, but you can always try
no ionian juggernauts? Maokai can do both tank and juggernaut
Maokai is a Shadow Isles Champ
So will the new champ be good for non-juggernaut players wanting to learn a juggernaut?
for sure
Do we have a new poll for a reworked champion after Fiddle and Voli?
I remember in previous poll both Fiddle and Voli got 24 percent whereas Shyvana got 20 percent of the votes.
So I'm wondering if you'll go with Shyvana (pls) or there will be another poll or none at all?
Btw I'm very sad that you decreased the number of reworks. I think reworks are more exciting than new champions but that's just my two cents.
There will be another poll sometime next year. This isn't to say we wont start another VGU independent of the poll.
I think reworks are exciting as well, but they come with a cost that new champs don't come with (Change aversion and frustration from some of the current mains of the Champ, some love it of course) And we have reached a point where the Champs on the current list don't need a VGU nearly as bad as many of the Champs where we were doing them more frequently. I still feel like it's a valuable product though so we don't plan to stop doing them anytime soon
Dude, sorry but what the f**k? What is your opinion about Vladimir? Do you honestly believe he is okay for the game when the majority of the playerbase hates on him? Mundo? Who is viable only because he has been flextaped into it since he is so ancient that there was one effect ruining his whole idea but the balance team made sure this isn't a problem about him anymore. Tryndamere? A walking paradox of a super cheesy champion and walking ultimate in the same time, not even fullfilling his fantasy. Zilean? Who is .. strange. There isn't meaningful cointerplay to his bullshit but because he is so unpopular it is fine.
Like I can understand you hate the bitching of current mains every time you change their obscured character. I get it you care about them since it shows with Pantheon or Kayle's rework, even the fact you are keeping the point and click fear of Fiddle, even though everybody but them hates it.
I am not even trying to bitch at you, though it looks like this, I just want to know your opinion since I respect you. But yeah f**k Vlad.
I didn't say there isn't still Champions that need VGUs. There clearly are since we are still doing them. I don't think you can compare Vlad to old Urgot, for example. I just said there wasn't as many champs that are in serious need of VGUs as there were a couple years ago.
I know that some self-proclaimed champion mains get upset because fo reworks but it is healthier for bot game and lol universe, don't you think so?
Reworked champions can easily be integrated the other Riot games such as TFT, Legends of Runeterra etc. I'm not even talking about in-game related stuff because there is no need.
Thanks to the hard work you guys put in the previous years, there are very few champs left that should be reworked.
I feel like, Other than 3 candidates that were included in the poll, namely Shyvana, Dr. Mundo and Shyvana, there are 6 more champions that need rework asap. In my opinion, these champions are: Skarner, Malphite, Kog'Maw, Cho'Gath, Udyr and Corki.
I feel like you could've slowed down the rework train after getting these champions. But I totally understand your concerns. It is fair.
I don't want to bother you but I'd appreciate it if you can answer one more question: I know due to the resource-scarce, you stopped updating skin splash arts and I get it. For example, Fiddle has a lot of skin so the artist are probably busy enough these days.
But, have you considered updating base splash of some champions which are not going to get any Visual/Gameplay update anytime soon? For example, Hecarim. His Legends of Runeterra arts are much better than the current one we have. Kassadin and Jax are my other candidates. Their splash arts are not up to the standards imo.
These single pieces of art updates should not be much of a problem, but you guys know better of course.
I mean I agree, that's why we are still doing VGUs, and still plan on continuing VGUs in the future. I can't comment on splash team as I generally don't like to talk for other teams at Riot
Hey Reav3, seeing as Quinn may be on the next VGU poll, is there any way I could sign up for any potential playtesting or feedback for her VGU? I’ve been playing and thinking about the champion for years, and have even done some art exploration of potential thematic directions, including what she might look like as a Raptor Knight. I’d love to add my voice to any aspect of her development I can, for whatever little my opinions are worth — though I do live a ways away from California (Miamian here).
It might be possible, ask me again if/when she goes into VGU development
more of a casual question, but how do you feel about JoJo's?
pretty hawt
