Thank you for your work on Vex! I'm looking forward to her release - she looks super fun to play. :)

I'm not sure if this is intentional, so please correct me if I'm wrong. Currently, Shadow will display over terrain that Vex walks around, even if it should be behind it. For example: if Vex hugs the botside wall, Shadow's animations clip around the terrain. Here's a picture for reference. This interaction seems odd to me, since Shadow realistically should be "underneath" the boulder in the picture and not over it.

It's not ideal, but it's intended that Shadow renders flat over terrain - Technical limitations prevented us from having the Shadow distort when near walls like a real life shadow would, and we decided it would be better for gameplay clarity if Shadow was always visible.

Why was there a Harrowing in Bandle City? Wasn't the reason why Poppy didn't get to be a sentinel specifically because the Spirit Realm was unaffected by the mists? Doesn't Vex's entire existence now contradict this?

I'm so tired of the consistent contradictions. But I guess this is what happens when Riot fires all the people responsible for the actual good writing of their universe.

The Ruination didn't happen in Bandle City. A portal opened up from the Shadow Isles (long before the global ruination.) Mist from the Shadow Isles was seeping through the portal. (This was shown in the champion roadmap where we first talked about Vex) Vex followed the mist to the source and went through it to the Shadow Isles

Shoutouts to /r/vexmains for the Release skin megathread. Vex's character artist will be doing some adjustments to the in-game model so that the colors are closer to the splash art and skinline.

Hello everyone! I'm Riot Koyuncu, one of the QA Engineers on Champions team and QA owner for Vex.

Vex is trudging her way onto PBE, and is now currently enabled and available to play! This is personally one of my favorite champion projects that I've worked on, and I want to hear your player feedback before she launches in two weeks. We've got about a week before we have to lock any proposed changes for her release, so I'll be monitoring common themes in this thread to share back with the team for possible adjustments.

If you encounter any in-game bugs while playing Vex, please let us know by heading over to our Bug Reporting Tool and providing any information on the issue. Providing repro steps or a video clip are incredibly helpful at debugging.

Cheers... or like...

Does this change also mean that Titanic Hydra does less damage TO towers as well? Because on live it's quite a boost to hurting towers when the passive isn't forcing aggro on you.

It should just be the cleave AoE that's removed. The bonus on-hit damage to the primary target should be applied.

Is it the VGU that was in development last year before the poll?

Been loving these graphs. I think League needs more niche champions. Not every champion needs to broadly appeal. What is your opinion on that?

For sure. I think for 2022/23 you are going to start seeing a bit more niche champs. Less broad appeal humans in general.

This is the first time Zoe has been buffed since 9.18. That is all.

Uhm then why does Vex's bio mention it reached Bandle City then?

A Portal opened up in Bandle City from the Shadow Isles. Black mist was seeping through it into Bandle City (this was prior to the global ruination) She followed the mist to its source and went through the portal to the Shadow Isles

Hey a bit off topic but I was wondering if you'd be willing to share the breadth, depth, niche and popularity of the lil kidly champions, Zoe, Nunu and Annie? I don't recall ever seeing them anywhere

Is it possible this champion may have been on the last rework poll? Asking for a friend. A feathery friend, to be specific. :>

It's not a Champion from the last poll

Is it the same champion that the previously canceled/abandoned VGU was? Or was that VGU going to be Udyr and that's why he was on the poll this year?

No that was Volibear along time ago. And then we iceboxed that, and then later he won the poll and we did him then

It was seeping out of one of the portals, as seen in the Vex teaser from a couple of roadmaps back, and then she went through that portal to the shadow Isles
