Hey Reav, you said few months ago that you can't wait to talk about next champion after Darkin, You were talking about champion with black castle teaser or other one?
Black castle teaser
Artist as in painter? Cause that would be a super awesome champ iidea
As in the concept artist working on the champion
Can I ask who are working on the hangry jungler and the artistic midlaner?
Jungler is Kindle Jack & August. Midlaner was started by EndlessPillows but is currently being designed by Emizery, the artist is Soyjoo.
Soon
In Riot's class paradigm, a Tank is mostly defined by his role as either an engage-based CC-machine with lower damage (Vanguard) or a beefy protector with peel-based abilities (Warden). Thresh is mostly Vanguard with a bit of Warden, and in that sense he's very much a Tank.
K'Sante is a Vanguard that turns into a Juggernaut.
He is actually a warden that turns into a skirmisher temporarily with his ultimate
Naruto being a great source of inspiration as always
Truly a wealth of inspiration
wait so how long has this riot noir n other stuff been a thing i feel like i dont recall hearing this kinda race oriented consideration stuff for previous black champs like lucian or whatever. Or maybe its just been to long and i dont remember
Senna was the first champion that we starting collaborating with RIG groups on Champions
Hey Reav3 we were told to ask you about the Udyr color story. What happened with that? Please tell me he isn't gonna be stuck with his outdated old one that still features a tiger.
We are currently discussing how we want to do short stories going forward, and how they play into our greater story arcs, especially now that we have more teams the just LoL working in Runeterra's narrative. In the meantime we included all his relevant lore is his bio
Is that the ability we were shown earlier, or a different one? Also could you tell us if he is going to be a battle mage more like Anivia and Cassiopeia, or more like Swain and Vladimir? I.e. more of a late game DPS mage or a late game drain tank?
Late game DPS. His late game is pretty insane tbh
/u/Reav3 I don't want to rush to conclusions ... but.. aurelion sol have in the kit only skills that characterize his being a dragon (which is cool but he is not only a dragon), the idea of letting him scale in late (maybe for his passive) as a feature of being a divinity, besically, AND just a black hole on the ground as a feature of his being the creator of the universe.... Meh... Even if we don't know 1 skill, the kit synergies only with q w, and it's actually horrible as a thing. Standing still for do a rumble q... U can do better no? Should I expect something cool? I really love ASOL, and i love what u do. i don't lose hope. Your recent reworks are so good... Pls don't rush my ASOL, take your time. Please
I was intentionally showing dragon themed stuff in this video. His ult is very Star forger themed
When can we expect the champion roadmap Reav3? Tomorrow?
It was this video…
is the new enchanter ranged? pls don't scam us by making a another tank hybrid and calling it enchanter
Yes, he is ranged
Hey u/Reav3, hope everything is fine there! I came here to thank you guys in advance. It's probably going to be a non-white champion and I'm really happy to see that. As a person of color who grew up with virtually zero media representation, I insist on buying this new tank within the first week and mastering it ASAP.
I am very happy to see more diversity within this game that has helped me in such difficult times. Thanks! 💙
Thx! Better diversity and representation has been a big goal of champions team for the last few years now so it’s always great to hear from players when it matters to them
Hey Reav3, i wanted to ask you about Aurelion Sol - What are you looking for him to be?
I really, really prefer the battlemage version of him, but either way, it'd be nice to know what kind of champion at least Riot looks for him (and anyone else) to be. I understand that you are trying things out, but what is the more specific direction?
Because i've seen his playerbase split into Battlemage/Roamer (with anecdotal evidence more preferring the former), and i am not really sure with this presentation what he is intended to be.
Cheers.
The new Asol will be much more of a battle mage though he will have some roaming potential
No August champs in development? Sadge.
August is working on a new champ but it’s still to early to talk about
Hey Reav3, could you potentially share what kind of weapons were used as inspiration for K'Sante's weapons? The name given seems to be a new one with no real world counterpart so I am having trouble imagining what they could look like and what that would mean for him. If that's something that we will just have to wait and see for that's cool too.
You are just going to have to wait and see!
Small question, what is a "high skill" champ for you? Do you have some examples?
Azir& Aphelios come to mind
Can we know who will be doing the new assassin's kit? :p

/u/Reav3 I am incredibly excited for K'Sante. One comment mentioned how they speculate he'll draw inspiration from mali prince Sundiata who was called the lion king. Can you comment if the team is going for that sort of west african inspiration for K'Sante?
I'm not sure if the team took specific inspiration from prince Sundiata or not, but Nazumah and K'Sante take inspiration from West African Culture
