Arnt you concerned about game health when you are deleting every old consistent cc ability
Point and click cc is needed from a game design point
Hmm, u are just assuming we are removing the point and click CC? Not sure what we will do yet, since its still early but keeping his point and click CC is certainly still on the table at this point
What is the release schedule? Volibear first, second fiddlesticks? Fiddlesticks has far more skins, with VFX and SFX + 1 legendary.
It will just depend on which one gets ready for production first. They are both starting exploration at the same time, and we aren't going to put something half baked into production just to make one first and one second. We want to make sure we have a solid and exciting kit before entering production, so whichever one hits that first will be first.
can we believe it girls china didnt single handedly determine the winner
maybe theyre not big on voting there
We weighted the votes, so every region counted as the same % towards the vote.
I think or rather hope they retain this goofi yness trough his surprise party skin.
Thats the plan
Okay /u/Kindlejack level with us, what was the logic behind Concept J? How is he supposed to stand LOL
Not Kindlejack but I know what he was thinking here, the idea was that maybe when he uses crowstorm the crows explode from him and burst out, So that image is mid-crows bursting out of him horrifyingly
Hey what can I say, i'm REALLY stoked on this champion. Tbh I never thought we'd get a new ad mid assassin.
yeah, I'm definitely interested in making more AD Assassins, it is a very underrepresented class for how popular it is
Ah sweet that'll be cool, could I also ask if Skekses, Reinboom and WAAAARGHbobo are working on anything since their VGU got iceboxed
None of them are on Champions Team anymore, they are on other teams at Riot now.
Could I ask if you found a designer for the polled VGU now
Im going to be announcing the DNA for the poll winner with the blog and letting each of them say a little about it
What about the assassin?? Can we get an estimate in soon's too?
Lol, always appreciate the effort
Hey Ryan, I need you to say ''soon™' for Morde rework so that I can feel like my life is completed. It's a very important step in the process that one should not ignore.
I'll accept "very soon™" also, so feel free to choose.
Extremely Soon
Does that confirm the assassin is a humanoid at least now that we know Yuumi was the "non humanoid one" that you were talking about? Also, do you guys follow male, female, male, female formula or is there a chance that the assassin is a girl?
We don't follow male, female, male pattern. We shipped Zoe and Kai'Sa back to back
And back to Yuumi, long term do you expect her to be broad or niche
We expect her to be broadly appealing to enchanter support players, which could mean shes a bit niche, since its a more niche role
She got a pretty substantial buff across the board in the hotfix. Does this mean that you're expecting to have to revert those at some point, once Yuumi players get good enough?
I think so, but we will see
Are you able to share who the designer would be on the choose a VGU and the DNA on Dan's champ
we are still working out the Choose your own VGU designer. DNA for Dans champ is Dan, LoneWingy and Interlocutioner
Could I also ask where the DNA goes after Yuumi
Jellbug and RiotEarp are going to jump onto the Choose a VGU Champ, while Maxwell is starting early exploration on a new champ
/u/Reav3 how did you guys come across the gameplay hook for Yuumi
We started development with the attached support hook, which EndlessPillows pitched along time ago. One of the reasons we settled on a Cat so early in development is that we thought the theme of a Cat would work very well with the gameplay hook since cats are generally seen as lazy, and the Champion didnt have to walk anywhere
What was the main reason for not considering making her a yordle? Was it because she'd be too similar to Lulu?
We wanted to make a non-humanoid, since we haven't made one in awhile and Yordles qualify as humanoid. Specifically we wanted to make a non-humanoid Cute champion since all our current non-humanoids are monstrous
Was she ever a yordle in development? Or was she always planned to be something other than a yordle?
She was never a yordle
Do all cats in Runeterra look like Yuumi or is it specific to Bandle City only?
Also, was Book created by Norra or was it found somewhere?
She's specific to Bandle City, and as such is also unique compared to other cats in Bandle City. She is one of a kind
What is that forest that Yuumi goes to in her video? Is where the new assassin lives?
Only time will tell
