Hey reav3 just wondering if the monster champ u mention team was working on was mentioned today oo
Maaaaaayyybeeee
/u/Reav3 absolutely commanded presence in this video. It was fun to watch. Well done buddy.
Thx!
Do you know if or when we will hear about Skarner's VGU? Kinda sad I didn't get to hear any news about our lovely crystal scorpion boi.
Hopefully the next roadmap we should be in a good spot to start discussing Skarner
/u/Reav3 I've been bugging you about an Ixtal champ for at least 2 years now, you can't imagine how hyped and happy I am right now 😭
It’s been hard not to tell you about it!!
Will you post the high res versions of the roadmap teasers since its in video format
Sure will
will it have info on ASUs or just VGUs and new champions?
Flair checks out. You will have to wait and see!
we r suffering reav. Where is it :,(
Ah, how I love to watch you suffer. Ill put you out of your misery though. It will be out tomorrow morning
2 years for this? I mean it for sure looks good and better than his old model and animations, but 2 WHOLE years?? For the company with the biggest online game in the world, I feel this should've taken a lot less than 2 years, even with taking covid into account.
Edit: I mean, they release 4-5 new champs in a year. Even in 2020 when covid hit, they released 6 new champions just that year. This champ already had his lore, his abilities, an idea for his kit, etc. All they had to do was touch up the animations and looks and tweak his abilities into something more modern, that seems like even less work than creating an entirely new champion.
Actually we also have to re-make all the Champion skins when we do a VGU. And Udyr also had a Ultimate skin. Ultimate skins take as long to make as a Champion. We actually finished base Udyr quite awhile ago and have been doing skin production for along time now
riot's sworn off from aatroxing champs with reworks, just looking at the last few (pantheon, fiddlesticks, volibear) is a clear sign of that because they still feel very similar even if they play differently. I personally think its a good thing but it also doesn't give me hope for some kits that need desperate overhauls.
We arnt sworn off from it. We just only do it when the champion needs it. We don’t want to do change for the sake of change. Skarner will be a VGU on the level of Urgot/Sion/Galio
Udyr?!!?!?!??!!!!???!?!?!!!!!!
He's chillin
Hey Reav3, is this roadmap still planned to be released sometime around mid August, or has it been pushed back?
Yeah, should be sometime next week I believe
all the time
That can’t be good for your brain. Thank you for your service.
Lol, their are definitely some “interesting” posts that never make it to the front page
A nice post that might be useful when the devs actually see a post.
Unfortunately, I think Riot mainly looks after high rated posts on this platform, meaning it has to pass the initial coinflip downvote filter of the community. And I’m really not sure if writing quality matters as much as the topic there.
I filter by “new” all the time
Can we expect to see the roadmap soon after Udyr's release or will we have to wait a bit into the fall to learn about the Shuriman + monster champions (and whatever else you might have in store)?
Hmm it should be sometime next month, i think earlier rather then later but stuff always shifts and changes. I recorded it (its a another video one!) but it still has to go through a lot of editing/loc, etc before it will be released
Is this champ gonna be talked about in the next roadmap or further out?
yeah, it will be in the next roadmap
Would you also know if Gem is still personally working on champs, since I saw that she was promoted to art director of champ team and Sunny to lead, or is she mostly managing the artists now
She is currently working on a champ with TwinEnzo and JohnODyin. BravoRay still worked on Bel'Veth as Art Director, so she will still likely do champs every so often, though probably not nearly as often as now
What else would go into a gameplay roadmap? And would they potentially be less often or still every few months? I guess these are probably things you are deciding now, but I would appreciate any insights. If you can't give any now, I know I, and many other members of the community, would appreciate an official overview in the future.
We don't have a specific timeframe planned, but its usually after every 2 releases or so. The next one will come out after Udyr is released.
Is Aurelian Sol planned for this year (since it seemed like it was still in early stages)
We release stuff when its ready, so not sure. He will likely be sometime either late this year or early next year depending on how he comes along
Sorry to piggyback, also sorry because no doubt you've answered this a bunch already, but are you able to give a Release Month on Udyr?
SOONtm
