u/Reav3 Can you speak out about Talon? There are A LOT of players not satisfied with the rework and would love to get it reverted but a lot of new Talon players also came and would be sad to lose him.

I personally had a whole account dedicated to playing ONLY Talon before his rework came and I dislike the approach you took with this change. Both LeBlanc and Rengar got reverted, Kha'Zix partially too, Fizz required changes and essentially got his W back. Shaco mains are still unhappy with the changes.

Would it be possible to maybe have two versions of Talon in the game? Could he have two different splash arts and work as one champion (or maybe a separate?) so that everyone knows which version you're playing?

It's actually the same with Graves, it would be nice if the old version wouldn't be deleted when the new one is added.

We don't plan on making multiple versions of the same Champion

Would it be the voted VGU or another champ you have in mind

It could be, hes just doing early exploration into a bunch of stuff right now as we dont have a full DNA ready yet. If he finds something cool before the VGU poll then we will probably just have another designer do the VGU poll, but if not he will probably jump on what ends up winning the vote

So this means he has time to explore onto options that are not vote options and if he manages to find an exciting direction then he is gonna be doing that champion, while another designer will be onto the winner champion of that poll?

He will likely explore options that are on the poll as well, since all 5 of the Champions on the poll are high priority for us, and only one of them will get picked. He is just doing design exploration, not a core pod, so if he finds a cool direction for the Champion that gets picked in the poll that would be a great headstart for that Champion. If he finds something for a Champion that doesn't get picked, that's exciting and we can still work on that Champion and just have a different designer/pod take on the VGU poll winner.

I see, that's amazing! Can't wait to see the poll now! I hope you guys turn this into at least a once a year vote. :)

Yeah if it goes well we would for sure be interested in doing it again
