Hello fellow Lady Voidimitrescu enjoyers, I had the chance to send some q's over to Reav3 about our new Empress. I'm super grateful (as always) for the responses, especially seeing how busy he and the rest of the team are.

Here Reav3 explains a little more about the team's design goals for Bel'Veth, her design iterations, and addresses some of the concerns we've seen pop up in the community re: the perceived disconnect between the fantasy sold in her cinematic and more beat 'em up playstyle, as well as mobility creep.

No worries, sorry If I couldn't get to all the questions. I had over a 100 between a bunch of different websites. So many of you were super interested in BelVeth! I don't blame you though, she's a pretty unique Champion

With the way the article is worded, does this mean you're now league's lead gameplay producer instead of just the champion product lead

yes, that's exactly what it means

Congrats on the promotion! Are you still going to be managing champ team or are you passing that work that work to another product lead and focusing on larger league gameplay stuff

I'm still working with champs team a bit, though I am currently transitioning my responsibilities over to Lexical, who is another producer that has been on champs for awhile now. Lexical is awesome so Champs will be in great hands. I will be focusing on larger league stuff, but I will of course be involved in Champs team a lot since they are one of the teams on the gameplay initiative. I will just be also splitting my time between the other teams on Gameplay as well like SRT, etc.

Is Lexical planning on communicating as much as you have been? I would hate to lose all of the little hints and insights you provide if you are no longer in a position to provide them. Also congrats on the promotion!

I mean I’m not going far and I’m still going to be very involved in champions. If anything I’ll just be communicating about a lot more stuff then just champions

Damn boss huge congrats 🥳 . You’re very good at what you do, especially with champions. So I hope you’ll still be involved. Question, who was lead gameplay producer before?

Are you still going to be the creative lead for big events like you were for sentinels of light and spirit blossom

Not anymore no. I worked a lot of the foundations of the next big event but I have ramped down on events as I have been ramping up on Gameplay. Don't really have the time to do events and all of gameplay. I'll still be involved since big events tend to have gameplay products in them as well, I just won't be leading them anymore.

Hey Reav3, I have not seen this ever asked before but could you share who in your opinion has been the largest VGU in terms of development progress? And how far Udyr ranks among the list?

Im pretty sure Udyr is the largest because of his ultimate skin. Kayle was probably pretty close though due to her 4 forms
