all 3 champions are still planned for this year like everyone is saying ?
or are they spread over next year ?it seems very unlikely in this year as its only 2.5 months now and this year has been like 3 champions in 10.5 months
Where did anyone from Riot ever say that? I'd love to see that
Can you let me in on what Voli is gunna look like? :D?? Just tell me Malphite/Chogath size aint got nothing on the God of Thunder?? Just a yes or no... I won't tell anyone I swear.
We will be showing current progress on Voli art in the roadmap :)
Curious when you do art teasers for the Roadmap, are they custom made by the team or do you just pull a piece of concept art you think is vague yet cool enough
They are all custom made by the artists on the team
Can you reveal what classes are the next 2 champs after adc? I hope is a new Tank, pls make my day Reav3
The Roadmap will reveal the classes :P gotta wait like everyone else
Just finished it recently and sent it to get loc'd. Plan is to have it out on the 16th, next week. Lots of content in this one, going to be talking about Voli, Fiddle and 3 New champions

PLEASE DONT REVERT THE CURRENT AATROX THOUGH, I LOVE THE CURRENT ONE! PLEASE! IM EVEN BUYING AN AATROX SKIN FOR CHRISTMAS (my parents gift). please, i beg you. please reply to me if you can.
We have no plans to revert current Aatrox
Thank you for the update. Will look forward to it. Volibear the beast. First champion that really got me into playing the game in s2.
More unrelated. Any chance for old attrox to come back as a new champion also? So many people still beg to play him again from this day. And even the Aatrox subreddit split with the old players still being the bigger one.
Maybe as a forgotten darkin that went into slumber and came back as the other darkins rose up or with the death of the aspect of war. Could be a neutral character (the good guy darkin)
It's always possible
Will have a update in the next Champion Roadmap sometimes next month
Could i also ask if you guys want to start doing splash updates again or is the illustration team busy
That's ultimately up the illustration team as they are a separate team now
Does Danny Kim still do any projects himself as wel
No, he is the overall art director, so he doesn't do projects himself. The individual craft leads do projects still though.
Does Lonewingy still work on projects herself, outside of the one you just mentioned, or is she transitioning as guide since she became lead concept artist on champions
She still works on projects herself
Could i also if SkiptomyLuo and mChao joined champ team since Odin moved off with his VGU iceboxed
Neither has officially joined champ team, but mChao is the narrative writer for a project Endless and RiotEarp are in early stages on. Luo helped out on Pantheon as well as helping out on the Champ Axes, LoneWingy and JohnODyin are working on.
Could I also ask where Panth has landed
So far he has landed very well. Haven't seen if he will be problematic in pro play yet, but a lot of people are playing him right now
Could I also ask if August is starting exploration om his next champ
Not yet, hes focused on the current Champ he is working on right now
Do you have an idea on which project you want to put Twin Enso on
Hes currently helping out on Axes Champion since Axes is working on TFT now. The design for the Champion is already set, so he is just helping out on production stuff, and will help ship that in order to ramp up on the team before he actually takes on a project of his own.
Alright thanks. Just a feedback - these wide gaps with no new champions is very weird, like there is nothing to look forward too.
Development can be very unpredictable like maybe you cannot time it but I loved the cadence of 2016 or 2017 when we would have a new champion every other month. That was the best phase.
I hope you guys can return to it.Right now, the only time I played in last 2-3 weeks was Elderwood Ahri skin but that phase also passed because the champions I like (Lux Ahri) will now get skins only next year.
So I don't know but lack of new content (new champions) feels dull.Also, please can you focus on control mages and explore themes of a weather mage or lightining mage.
And make champions on folk lores. These folk lore champion themes were like instant connection (Ahri)
We just released Morde VGU, Qiyana and Pantheon VGU all basically back to back
With "next month", we're talking about September or October?
October
Any tentative timeline of the champion roadmap ?
Probably sometime in the 2nd half of next month, roughly
That's so exciting! Will we see it before the new adc comes out? I'm assuming the adc August is woking on is super close to reveal.
The Champion August in working on will be in the roadmap
