One thing I think people don't fully understand about ASUs and VGUs is that we also have to rebuild ALL of their skins from scratch. Some champions have multiple Legendaries (Which take even longer and have a lot of unique animations) or even maybe a Ultimate skin like Udyr. Ahri has a MASSIVE amount of skins. They all need new models, vfx, and in some cases splash art as well. A New Champion, by contrast, only has a launch skin, so they take SIGNIFICANTLY less time then a ASU or VGU. VGUs in the past were done on champs with a lot less skins, many of which didn't even have legendary skins, so they were a lot faster to make.

I know a lot of people think, well Riot is a big successful company, so they can just hire massive teams and do them faster. But even though LoL and Riot have been successful we still don't think the correct way to make high quality products is to just throw a ton of bodies at it. We still largely work in small autonomous teams, were the teams can comm...

We saw really great responses to these projects, as well as healthy play rate spikes after their release.

omg. omg. omg. It's happening, finally-

"...including Neeko and Syndra"

Oh. Come ON! Rell, is RIGHT THERE. You know, the girl that was advertised as the champion who would wield her enemy's armor and magic resistance as WEAPONS to crush them but ended up becoming a more clunky, punishing, different flavor of Leona that nobody wants to play even in the times when tanky engage supports were meta + she had a s...

Rell is 100% on our midscope list. Its more a question of when then if

Hey Reav3 :)

I remember someone asking you, which other roles (than top lane tanks) are in need of a high-skill champion. You then mentioned that the enchanter support roster lacks more difficult champions.

So I was wondering: Is the male Ixtali enchanter meant to be a high-skill support champion? That would be really cool!

No, he is not. We wouldn't want to release 2 very high skill champs so close together as that audience is a little more niche. Also we don't want our first male enchanter to be unplayable by a lot of players

New to LoL PC Champions team yes. He was designer on Wild Rift before coming to Champions team though, so not new to Riot

Sure. The Darkin is being worked on by TwinEnso, LoneWingy and JohnODyin. The Ixtal enchanter is being worked on by Riot Emizery, Riot apothecarie, and Sojyoo
