Thanks for the reply! Will this champ not be featured in the upcoming poll then?
No, we wouldn't put a champ in the poll that we are already working on

Will you be talking about the unannounced VGU in the upcoming Champion Roadmap?
I mean, it's obviously very early so I wouldn't expect anything more than a few teaserish words on it if you did.
BTW, I'm really excited that we're getting a VGU outside of the poll! Thank you!
yes I will be talking about it in the roadmap
Thanks for the response, though personally I feel like you could lower the bar for which champions are considered to be in heavy need for a VGU. I mean champion quality skyrocketed towards the end of season 2 and a lot of champs aren't up to that standard yet.
So at least to me it feels like there are still tons of champs that could use an update, even if its not as dire as the previous cases.
We could, but VGUs come with the cost, and Champs that are in better shape have much higher player bases. With higher player bases there is a higher risk of alienating more players with a VGU, especially since its basically impossible to make 100% of the current mains happy with a VGU. As Champions begin to fall further behind new champ standards, and new champs come out taking away some of the mains of older champs, than the older champs that need VGUs player base begin to shrink. The smaller a Champs player base when it gets a VGU the less player pain and player disruption the VGU release causes. We have to factor all this into our VGU strategy.
Would you consider expanding VGU polls to include more than 5 champions then? It feels weird to see it being so "limited" while there still being so many champs need some reworks *looks at Kog, Corki, Udyr who are not even considered for polling*
The poll is not meant to encompass every champ that needs a VGU, and we won't only do VGUs for champs that win polls. We currently have a unannounced VGU in early development right now, for example. Like If Voli and Fiddle weren't basically tied in the last poll, we still would have done another VGU this year, independent of the poll.
Kinda sad that they confirm that they'll be focusing on new champs for the rest of the year. I mean they hinted at it in the previous video, but this time they did say that this is their plan for the rest of the year.
2 VGUs for the whole year is really not a lot, I hope they return to making more in the next one :(
It's unlikely we will get to a place where we are doing lots of VGUs again. It's possible of course, if suddenly we reach a point where we have a giant list of champs in need of VGUs, like we did a couple years ago. The reason we started reducing VGUs is that we got to a point where the VGU list wasn't that long, and the Champs on the list don't need it as bad. We think VGU's are a exciting product that many players also find exciting and we don't want to get to a point where we basically "Catch up" on all the champs that need VGUs and basically stop doing them. At the pace we were going in the past we would have reached that point fairly quickly and then that would kind of be the end of VGUs. We have decided instead to reduce the pace of VGUs so that we still release them, but we don't catch up. At the current pace I predict we may not ever reach the end of the list, since overtime new champs will probably find there way on to the list. This way there will always be VGUs to look ...
Read moreI hope they got all this info from Riot giving them the blog post early so they can make an article about it and they just released it a bit early, cus some of the wording here implies there should be a blog post on the website itself
I hope they don’t resort to news sights to replace Blog posts
There will be a blog post very soon
fiddle>dev blog>volibear>champion roadmap？
Yes
yes, the current plan is to release the next roadmap sometime, not to long, after Volibear
We are currently working on adding both the main gun and off-hand gun to Aphelios's UI, we are targeting this change for 10.4 as well as making his ult VFX more readable in-game
You guys have some internal communication problems on LB: https://twitter.com/LaurieGoulding/status/1217204179296407552 . I don't know the riot handle of hers, but she wrote LBs lore and repeatedly disputed LB is guile on twitter and when asked why are you saying LB is guile she said: https://twitter.com/LaurieGoulding/status/1217200274495787008
Hmm guess I misunderstood, that LB, she can be so deceptive
could you please confirm or deny surprise party will stay super goofy and not be horror clown? his base is already horror (which is cool but that skin is meant to be silly)
Plan is to make it dark comedy, so funny horror, like Mundo
I need conformation on how scary Nocturne is supposed to be compared to Fiddle. Where is Riot's scale of spookiness???
We want Nocturne to be scary Af when we VGU, but more psychological horror rather then physical, brutal horror like Fiddle
wait I just bought Sett with this video playing in the background. Then he talked about the calling card... can it still be opened for a refund or something? It doesn't do anything right now when I click on it
If you write in player support they should be able to refund the BE
Hey guys so I'm not huge on lore but awhile back I think I read something that Noxus technically had 3 rulers? Swain being the tactician and Darius being the grand General or something. But unless its Draven or I'm just dumb, who is the the third? Could it possibly be Katarinas missing father?
The 3rd is LeBlanc
A question that came to me when you talked about the Voli skin: On Fiddle's relaunch are you gonna rename Bandito to High Noon since it is part of that universe?
Skins don't have to have the same name to be in the same universe
Uhm, I bought Sett with essence and watched the video afterwards. I got Sett's calling card in my inventory, but since I unlocked Sett already I can't use it... I guess it's a "too bad" scenario?
u can write into player support and they should be able to refund the BE
FYI - This video is a little old, here is even newer Volibear Concept
as a Fiddlestick fan, with all my LOVE i adore this from the model work to Crowstorm VFX EVERYTHING you guys have done is amazing work, i can't wait to terrify my opponents.
Also there are couple of things i'd like to happen if you guys won't mind since this is a project we also give our opinion on:
1- His big right hand animation, it would be cool if you guys added an effect where he leaves marking of the dragged claw for like a second or so and that would make it more terrifying (bonus points with the sound effect whenever its gonna be added)
2- His black spikes or whatever that is on his backs i think its kinda like missing something, some kind of VFX or a special effect like on his concept art how its glowing red, so i don't know if the model is yet final or not.
Yeah the Black parts aren't textured our anything yet, still very WIP, they won't ship like that at all
I love this but why does it have to share colour palette and auto attack with Swain... who also uses crows...
hmmm...I wonder
Hi Reav3!
Are you guys still intending for Fiddle to be a jungler and Voli a top laner?
On that note, any plans for Swain to get some power back in solo lanes? As one of a few struggling to make Swain top work, would really like to know the current official stance on him. If you guys are content with him going the way of Zyra, Brand and Morgana, it's cool by me. I just don't wanna sink more time that I could spend learning champions better suited for my preferred role.
Thanks for coming over!
We have been testing both Fiddle and Voli as junglers, though I'm sure they could work in other lanes
