Real talk, I think the thing that made unbound thresh feel off is just the splash art. Young face and the spectral ABS made him feel very off, add to that the model of thresh being very old and not allowing for a clean skin on LoL compared to wildrift and it made it feel underwhelming.

I feel that they should tweek his splash art again, I know people love to pretend pilosity is something dear to their heart but making him looking older/rougher would be perfect to make him less "Spectral spirit blossom" like.

Your in luck, we are tweaking the splash. Here is a preview

Have you seen what people have been talking about when it comes to VUs? It has become a more recurrent topic as time goes on. Champions like Ahri, Lux, Caitlyn, Janna, Lulu, Leona, etc who have fine gameplay and aren't on the VGU list have been showing their age for a while now and it really sucks that it doesn't seem like they'll ever get updated.

I remember that Riot used to have a team for VUs/VGUs separate from the champions team. Maybe something like that should come back since the champions team has shifted from being half-focused on VGUs and half new champions to prioritizing new champions a lot.

Yes, it's something we discuss a lot internally, and as our outsourcing pipeline gets more and more robust it's something we are interested in pursuing again. Can't make any promises, but it's a topic we have been talking about A LOT lately.

Is her shadow always visible? I like the game more without shadows, will it stay or will she be β€žnakedβ€œ if I turn of shadows?

It's a big part of her ability clarity so it can never be turned off

Who saw the most increase in play with the reworks? I know I came back because of the Fiddle rework (10/10 on that one and would love to see the graph if it shows data going back to pre-rework too)

Im not sure who the MOST was, but ones that had huge jumps were Akali, Irelia, Mordekaiser & Urgot

This post is too positive for Vex. She'd hate it >:((

Normal AA should work as well

If it wasn't a hassle, could you please show the Talon graph. I've tried looking for his name but can't find it.

What's Kindlejack working on? :( I heard he was meant to be working in Askhan but couldn't. So what's he doing now?

I really love his designs but it feels like we barely get one a year. Vs Lonewingy who makes like 4.

Kindlejack is working with Squad5 and griddlebones on the next support champion. Will have a section on that champion in the Roadmap later this month

on the topic of reworks, can we expect another VGU poll next year for a rework either at the end of 2022 or sometime during 2023? also, are there currently only two VGUs planned for next year?

yes I plan on doing a 2023 VGU poll around 2022 Season Start like this year

Boss how is the champions team looking? Has it gotten smaller, stayed the same, or increased in size relative to previous years?

Still about the same

/u/Reav3 are you able to share more now about Vex's delay, was it mostly because of Shadow's rendering since it looks really expressive

yes, her shadow tech was what caused the delay. The insights article will go into a lot more detail on the shadow tech and what it took to make

i wonder how much fun u/Reav3 had yesterday with people asking about Vex in that thread knowing she would show up one day after lol

also, it looks like her release skin will be Dawnbringer (the symbol on her shirt really reminds me of the dawnbringer prestige icon, which maybe will be like Odyssey last year which had a mini-event within Worlds? that's interesting

So much fun
