Ok hold up, this sounds like a very strange argument:
Earlier this year, we said we were going to hold another poll where you’d get to vote for League’s next VGU. We ran into some problems getting the poll up and running on the new website, and we had to get started on the next VGU before we were able to fix them. The champion we chose wasn’t on the previous voting poll, but I think it’s one that many players will be excited about when we announce it (which we hope to do in the next Roadmap).
This phrase makes it sound like the champ design team was unable to add a web poll to a website. This seems incorrectly phrased, since I would imagine that there is a dedicated team for the website that has nothing to do with the ChampUP team.
Why couldn't you host the poll through Qualtrics (or whatever survey provider that y'all use)? You already conduct surveys through the client.
I'm concerned that the poll is being pushed back for weird reasons, and I am also concerned that VGU decisions (which, in earlier posts, were said to involve the community) are being made without the community. We wanted Mundo, but did we want this other champion?
Edit: I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist, but was the vote pushed back because of a concern that Udyr would be voted for? And there was a concern that there wouldn't be enough resources to work on him?
It’s not a conspiracy. Here’s the more detailed explanation. The original polls where done and built on our old web page Nexus which doesn’t exist anymore. The team that would have had to rebuild the poll with a new HUB was slammed working on spirit blossom HUB which was a lot of work and like nothing else we have built in the HUB before. We had a team that was wrapping up a project and ready to start on a new project and our web/Hub team wasn’t going to be finished with both Spirit Blossom & the Psy Ops Hub in time to make the voting poll even if is a small task. When we originally planned to do the Poll around mid year we didn’t know or predict how much work the spirit blossom hub would end up being. I made the call to move ahead with a VGU anyway rather then have a team sit idle or start a new champ instead.
Is it too early to ask for the DNA of this VGU?
Yes
August
Oh hell yes, now I'm super excited.
CarnivalKnights
Isn't he normally on skinline narratives? It's exciting to see him designing a champion from scratch.
He does champs sometimes as well, he also was the writer on the Fiddlesticks VGU
Jungle skirmisher let's gooooooooooo. :D :D :D :D :D :D
hello reav3 2021 boats champion and 2021 new jungler is same champion tease or different one?
same

I love his designs, so would love for him to make more champs in the future if possible. Currently he is still at Riot but not on Champs team anymore
Sorry, but "fun and comical" ≠ "dark comical."
Current Mundo is a murderous, masochistic, and ultimately unaware goofball. He's funny, in his uniquely twisted way, because he doesn't realize the damage he's causing as a "Doctor."
A "dark comical" Mundo, on the surface, seems to fly in the face of this. This type of humor requires the comedian to be aware of what they're doing or what is happening around him. (An example of this would be Saint Lawrence being executed by fire only to shout "Flip me over, I'm well done" after several minutes, thus making him a saint of cooks and comedians.) This would make Mundo less of a goofball and more of a psychopath, to be blunt.
We have enough "grim dark" champs. League doesn't need another one.
I think u misunderstood. We still plan on keeping Mundo a unaware goofball. What I meant by dark comedy is that Mundo himself will be funny, largely due to the fact he is a unaware goofball, despite the fact that he is doing horrific, dark things
Hey Reav3! Amazing Roadmap! Support looks badass and Mundo is super amazing! Glad you found the cc immunity idea from Volibear a new place in Mundo! :)
Is the new VGU aimed for 2021 as well?
To early to say, we usually dont talk dates until after we get out of early discovery/ideation. Want to make sure the design is strong before we into production. This champ especially will likely have a long production cycle, which is one of the reasons they weren't on previous polls.
u/Reav3 Hey, can you show us one day how is the process to create a roadmap? Like what you want to tease, the words choosen, how you talk to the art team to decide the art for the teaser
It's not that complicated actually. It starts with me just writing it by myself. After I have a first pass at the whole thing I send it out to key leads and the publishing team for feedback. After adjusting/editing based on feedback I then talk to the artist of each Champ we are talking about or teasing. I usually have a rough idea of what I want to match the text, but I also open it up to them for suggestions or better ideas (which many times they have.) Then the artist creates the teaser, which goes through feedback with me and then our publishing team. After that it goes to publishing for final edit pass and loc lock, and then after that goes out to get localized before finally releasing.
Hey Reav3 what do you guys think about Yone's voice? It seems to be the quietest thing in the entire game and really makes him feel lacking personality.
Talked to our VO designer, and it looks like his volume is the same as other champs. It could be because he has such a deep, bassy voice though. Either way he is going to bump the volume a bit for the next patch. Thanks!
