The state of the champion revisions

In a blog post, the developer behind League of Legends announces its plans for upcoming champions and revisions to existing characters.

For example, the team is done with the visual adaptation of the classic Udyr and already shows us a sketch of the ghost guardian skin. In terms of gameplay, the spirit of the old Udyr remains intact. So, he will still be able to change his shape and thus get different buffs for melee combat.

Aurelion Sol is a real looker and can also score with his lore, but looks down the tube when it comes to pick rate. The star dragon is hard to play and often can’t keep up with his counterpart with his ability set. Therefore, the good Aurelion should receive a comprehensive gameplay update

What this means. Our problem child on the middle gets a “completely new ability set, but without changing its model, theme and story.” The “dragon fantasy” should be served even more and be much more intuitive. Aurelion Sol is the very first champion to receive such an update.

Skarner is the third candidate on he list to get a makeover. The team has not really dealt with the scorpion yet, but a small preliminary sketch then could not deny themselves.

A rough direction for the next three champions

In two very cryptic texts, Riot Games also teases two new champions. An elegant empress from the Viod, who subdues her opponents in the Gap as an imperious maiden, as well as a chaos-creating stranger, who leaves colorful puddles and envelops his opponents in mist before they perish. The latter description reminds me a bit of Nocturne. At the very least, I get strong Assassin vibes here.

The two texts leave a lot of room for interpretation and give only very vague impressions in the form of small stories and tales about these very newcomers. After all, we can expect that the young lady will be the next champion, since it says in her text at the top that the champions team “will soon publish something;

A new tank from a previously unknown area in Shurima will also grace us with his presence in the future. Nazumah is his name and maybe we will hear something more from him this year.
