And honestly a brilliant weapon design.
Though id prefer it being an Urumi but eh. Not easily shown anyway.

The VA is 100% not Laura Bailey
Boss I am finding a hard time understanding what her new gameplay mechanic is. Could use your help :p What is the hook you're going for here? A lot of these spells we've seen before.
Some of her more unique mechanics are hard to see in that video. Once the kit is fully revealed I think it will become more clear. She definitely has some really unique things about her
I'm still hoping for an Invoker(Dota) in League, has there ever been any talks about a kit like his?
Aphelios started out with a goal to make a champion like that. CertainlyT thought it would be more interesting in the ADC space then the mage space, since the ADC space didn't have anything close to something like that, so we changed it from a mage to a ADC early in discovery
Maybe that idea will resurface? Or did player reception to the "complexity" of aphelios kit discourage you?
I personally don't think Aphelios is complex at all tbh and I'd hate for him to be the limit of champ complexity cause people refuse to either try him in practice tool or watch a video of someone playing him
No, Aphelios has been a successful champ for us. Every champ isn't going to be for everyone and we are 100% ok with that. Aphelios was targeting players that specifically wanted a super complex ADC and he landed well with that audience. He maintains a solid pickrate for how complex he is. I dont think we would make a ton of champs that complex. but the roster def has space for them. Trouble right now is that most of our high complexity champs are mages, so other roles are lacking in that space right now more then mages (hence why we are making a high complexity tank right now) Azir really being the stand out high complexity mage, but you even have stuff like Zoe and Ryze who are up their in complexity
When the champ team sets out to create “complex champions” why not aim for something more like Lee Sin, where he is complex not due to his kit but due to skill expression on the player’s end.
Champs like Aphelios demonstrate complexity in the fact that it takes time to learn to optimize their buttons, whereas characters such as lee sun take raw practice and technique to truly access their powerful options, for aphelios to some extent it’s just getting the right gun combo
yes, of course, we try to create both. I think the type of champion u are talking about is a lot more broadly appealing, and we try to do a lot more often. Their are some players that like a champion where you have to learn how to optimize their buttons like Aphelios or Invoker though.
What roles would you feel are missing a complex champ the most (apart from tank)? And is the tank going to be on par with Azir or be more like Aphelios and require knowledge about his kit?
Enchanters
I loved Sett's release, can we get something new and simple as well and not million dashes and convoluted mechanics?
Yes, of course. We want to make all types of different champion complexities. Simple champions are part of that as well. We don one really simple champion in dev that im excited about. I should hopefully be able to start talking about that champion in the next roadmap
Is she classified as melee like the early hints suggested?
Yes
So genuine question then. Why are champions like Rakan, Thresh, and Urgot considered ranged if she has a further attack range? I always assumed it was just a line that was if more than x you are ranged if less you are melee, but if you could please explain what the thought process is here I would greatly appreciate it.
Well I think u are making a lot of assumptions based on a video for a champion who’s kit hasn’t been revealed yet.
