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
I was also curious, are you still going to be writing champ roadmaps and doing the champions in season X videos as lead gameplay producer or are you passing those on to lexical
I will be the next few for sure, not sure about after that. I may keep doing them but roll them into a bigger gameplay roadmap, rather then just a champions roadmap
What about ixtal? I know this is an old thread, but I was so excited for ixtal when Qiyana came out. But it's been the worst possible result, you guys haven't expanded on it at all since her release. It's pretty frustrating. Feels like Latino representation is always the last thing anyone cares about, and it's crazy cus there's a pretty big league audience from Brazil to Mexico, and like a quarter of the city you guys live in is Mexican.
And ixtal is so f**king cool. I want more of it
Same, we are for sure going to do some in that space soon
Hey I played another game and you all might wanna double check that q passive. I never saw a shield from it the entire game and was once again didnt see the healing from it either. I was in the jungle as well and built a immortal shieldbow just to see if i could proc the shield ever, and I never did.
I’ll check it out thx
I noticed story seeming to branch off between the games with PC dealing with Morg and Fiddle and WR dealing with Xayah trying to save Rakan, were these creative decisions informed by the SoL event learnings
Partly yes. Obviously trying to tell same story across a bunch of games was hard and we missed a bit on consistency for SoL, but when we talked about it we also weren’t sure it was the best strategy even if we got the consistency right since you just get the same story in every game. For SG the goal was that any games or teams that wanted to participate in the moment would tell different stories but all in the SG universe which is also why different games have different champions. That way if you play multiple games you would actually get to see different stories in the SG universe rather then all the same
Hey Reav3 could I ask what was the foundational work you did for Star Guardians 2022
I was the creative lead for the event for the first like 6 months ish, and I was also lead for the entire program stretching across all the games that are participating. So I worked on a lot of the early creative stuff, and how the different games would plug into it. Not alone of course, but with a whole team of amazing creative rioters.
I was technically program lead throughout the whole thing, though once all the teams started running I wasn't really doing much but giving feedback on things here and their. I wasn't working on any of the day to day stuff like I was for Spirit Blossom and Sentinels, just the really high level stuff. As I started to ramp up more and more into the Gameplay lead position I started to work less and less on the SG event.
Not her regualr passive. The passive on the q that gives her empowered aas armor shred and a small amount of healing like 3% of damage done her like 15% crit
right what im saying is the graph is including the healing she gets from her regular passive as well
