Champion Road Map Summary: April 2018

today is a great day because we finally get to know what riots been working on and what there going to release soon they announced that they actually combined the Champion Update Team and the New Champions Team into one big squad. So that they were more flexible in their release schedule and be able to better adapt to the needs of players, they said that "pressure on new champions to give players new and exciting ways to play League has grown massively experience things they have never done before in League. slightly ramping down the amount of new champions we release in order to make sure every release is breaking the boundaries of the game." and knowing how important it is to keep League modern and fresh, coming out with a slower schedule with better quality reworks and new champions but with that in mid lets get into what champions they are changing and the new champion that's coming out.

New Champion!

---

lets talk about the New champion! riot said this "We felt it was time to execute on a new support with a darker, deeper thematic than most of our support cast. We also wanted to create an aggressive play maker, someone who doesn’t just save a drowning ally, but who forces their enemies to drown themselves… by their own hands" this is super exciting but who else just pictured a a evil nami with mind powers?? but seriously it really seems like a interesting champion if you have any thoughts on what abilities the new champion might have or what they look like comment below we would love to see what you guys can come up with>

Aatrox rework

---

Finally, as someone who play's Aatrox a lot i felt like he looked kinda old but there changing that they said "we realized that the feeling of playing the new Aatrox wasn’t exactly matching his current visuals. Aatrox’s new design felt more powerful, more weighted, and overall just more imposing to play against. We felt this called for some model updates to match his game-play" they wont drastically change him but they are redoing some of the animations and giving him small tweaks and give him a "all new, brutal VO" i cant wait to see what they do.

Akali Rework

---

apparently they are doing doing a intense VGU(Visual and Game-play Update) to akali but they said that they were going to keep her assassin plays style of hitting hard, re-positioning, and then striking again they also said this "maintain about her kit was her dual scaling, as that gives Akali flexibility and really makes her feel like a champion who has mastered a wide range of weapons—both magical and physical" which is really cool but i really like how they are trying really hard to make team fights and games more interesting with new champions and champion reworks making champions a lot faster pace.

Nunu Rework

---

Nunu is getting a giant VGU(Visual and Gameplay Update) he was actually one of the first few champions to be released when the game came out in 2009 and has not really changed too much since only getting a visual update and some ability changes, that's 8 and half years ago! its about time they reworked him they said they were going to really focus on their friendship and being a iconic duo i personally want to see a new ability where it separates nunu from Willump i think that would be super cool.
