Wait, can you please clarify if the update on the next 3 champs will contain the smaller update on Voli/Fiddle?
yes it will all be in one Champion Roadmap, then we will do a actual devblog just focused on Voli/Fiddle later in the year. At least thats the current plan
What are the chances of us getting a small roadmap showing the 3 upcoming champs? Like even if it's just text based. This no roadmap thing is awful to me. );
Yeah, the new plan is to do a roadmap going over the 3 new Champs as well as a smaller roadmap-esque update on Voli/Fiddle in the next couple months, then follow with a more in production devblog on Voli/Fiddle at the end of the year. Probably going to start writing it sonn
u/Reav3 mentioned that 2019 has focus on new champions , there will be more new ones.
I didn't know he meant that instead of 3 in 2018, we will have 4 in 2019. What an increment...
Lol, that's big assumption for a year that hasn't even ended yet
Hi Reav3, can I ask how Morde is landed? Right now he has stable 11% playrate, is that more than you aimed for regarding him?
yes he is performing much higher then expected currently.
Yasuo's popularity is never going to go down unless you pretty much remove him from the game.
Riot has confirmed that Yasuo is by far the most popular champion in the game in terms of sales and it's not even remotely close. He's head and shoulders above everything.
So the odds of Riot removing their highest earning champion is pretty non-existent.
Get used to him.
Lee Sin is actually pretty close to Yasuo in terms of pick popularity, but he's the only one that is anywhere Yasuo.
Can we get a new champ release schedule? (no reworks)
august>stashu(was certainlyT)>axes. Correct?
correct
Are you able to share where Axes goes after Panth
Axes has been working on a new champ for awhile now with LoneWingy and JohnODyin.
Damn, Reav3 left a comment in my comment thread. Feels nice.
:)
So now we see Pantheon and I feel like you can finally clear this up.. Was "Aphelios" code name for the Pantheon rework? Keep in mind if you ignore this, i'm just going to assume the adc is named Aphelios. I have you at the end of a sword right now!!
Who's to say
Hi Reav3! Are VGUs gonna be like these from now on? You said Morde was last of the full scale ones and I notice more of a preserving the old gameplay/modernization of what he has here.
It always depends on the Champ and what problems need to be solved on the Champ. I imagine a Champion like Skarner, for example, would need a lot more changes and updates then a Champion like Rammus, or Mundo
Reav3 buddy give it to me straight
Can this guy mid now or nah
hmm its probably at least decent
no it wasnt lol
morde litereally was removed from shadow isles
smh reav3
But its still a continuation of his lore pre-rework though. I mean Akali left the Kinkou.
I'm 99% sure the person who drew God Fist Lee Sin drew this Splashart too.
You are 100% correct
and plank
And Morde
Any plans on keeping him viable support? What about Middlesticks?
We are primarily testing him as a jungler, that being said we aren't actively trying to make him non-viable in middle or support
Hi Reav3, can I ask what is the intention with Fiddle? A mage that is diver basically? The ambush part cries diver to me, but he ain't feel like tanky.
The plan is for him to be a Mage Jungler
Wait, is voli getting a rework? Please tell me he’s getting a rework.
He is indeed getting a full VGU, planned for next year
/u/Reav3 get in here
I said it would be sometimes after the new marksmen, not sure how long after since we kind of already announced the next 2 VGUs as Fiddle and Volibear. I do however have a devblog update on Fiddle and Volibear coming out either later this month or early August, still figuring out timing. We will have updates on Voli/Fiddle every 2-3 months until they release
Hey Reav3, if you can, can I ask how close is Pantheon?
Soon tm, Somewhat close, close-ish, close enough, very close, extremely close?
Thanks
Somewhat close
I understand she is designed to be difficult. Zed, Yassuo, and Riven as similar examples all generally hover around 50% win rates. I fear Qiyana is on a path to be more similar to Akali where she is really only good when played by the very best players in very high elo.
Guess time will tell. Thanks for the response
I doubt those champions were at 50% in there first patch unless the were very overturned at launch. We will see where her WR lands when the initial hype dies out and it’s mainly mains playing her. If needed we will make adjustments when we have a clearer understanding of where she will land long term
