Editing is truly my weakpoint haha. Hate it.

/u/Riot_Koyuncu would know! He gave me the one for Lillia that we shared in her Champ Insights previously!

I was ready to hate Vex due how cliche (in personality) and overcharged (in kit) she -initially- looks, but the recent gameplay reveal and this insights makes me apreciate it way more. It's easy to see the care behind her. Right now, and until I start hating facing her, great job, guys!

P.D.: How feasible would be to pick her as a support? I know it's not her intended place, but artillery mages tend to like to go well there, with some of them turning it its main home.

Per Riot Axes, she's a pretty good support!

Get ready my future ADCs, I'm coming for your kills.

Don't you also have a placeholder splashart or something like that that one of you just draws quickly and is often a masterpiece?

Regrettably no - I wish I had some MS Paint Vex art to share, but we used her concept art as our placeholder splash for the entirety of development.

Omg thank you! Yes, I've got the Deathly Hallows symbol, Flash symbol and the triquetra from Charmed on my arm 😊

Very cool! I have Morrowind's logo on my back, the grand soul gem from skyrim, neekos flower, and a pokemon tattoo! I'm actually at the point where I want more tattoos but am almost lacking games I feel that level of dedication for 😂 what's your ign BTW? I'd love to give you some RP!

It's easy to see that champ designers deliberately went with dashes as opposed to including blinks as well.

If possible, I'd love to understand the considerations/implications that would occur if Vex's kit also included blinks. Was it ever on the table? How did internal testing go?

Totally understandable if you can't reply here, but I'm sure alot of us would appreciate it if this facet of the design process was included in an edition of champion insights.

Thanks!

It does apply on blinks, actually. Sorry for that confusion.

they underestimate the number of MOBA players who don't want to be MOBA players

They exist in Legends of Runeterra!

Shipping range extension in League would have given Vandiril so much content.

Fun fact: We also briefly experimented with the inverse, where portals slowed down incoming enemy missiles to a crawl. Walking around a slow motion Ashe arrow or Miss Fortune ult was really cool, but had its own host of technical challenges.

/u/Reav3 are you able to share Vex's placeholder name and model

It was "Shadow Yordle", and Lutz started with Little Demon Tristana as her temp model

Nah, but nice champ insight. She actually looks really cool!

Thanks! Her team did an amazing job on her. They made my job much easier

Excited to see all the reactions to Vex (teh Yordle of d0oM)!

Hopefully you guys all enjoy how fed up she is with dashes when she hits PBE tomorrow. We spent a lot of time trying to find the sweetspot for her anti-dash gameplay. Compared to other standard mages, she should feel more empowered in-lane against dashy champs, but doesn't automatically smash the matchup. She's a bit disfavored in range v range, but still has the tools to compete and apply Gloom with E.

I wonder if Gloom has a per-champion cooldown, or your low-CD dash champs will have to live with getting marked constantly.

It's the latter, but you do need to get a hit in between each dash.

Keep in mind proccing Gloom is only a CD reduction on Doom (the fear). It seems extremely unlikely for it to be a complete reset, and stands to be that you might need 2 Gloom at least to reset Doom.

Champions refund 25%, minions refund 10% (obviously these are both tuning values so could change)
