RIOT HAS A BIG REWORK PROBLEM - League of Legends

- RIOT HAS A BIG REWORK PROBLEM - League of Legends. Riot's plan for updating old champions with full VGUs or just ASUs isn't very viable considering the current pace of currently reworking only 2-3 champions/year while over 30 champions need a visual update. What can Riot do to speed it up and where can they take inspiration from apart from the already made updates for most champions from Legends of Runeterra or Wild Rift.

Leave a like or your main will only get an ASU in 2057!!! 😺
Also placed multiple codes in this one, watch it all the way! :D
what are the codes for??
well as one of my mains is LuX if that will take them to 2057 i will just give up on LoL, like 5 times in that time :D
More like 80% of the reason why they don't do much more reworks is because of money
Nasus, tryndamere need to be reworked asap
ye reworks is taking a lot of work bit its not as difficult if you work with existing concept to me that you have no idea how it will look like in the end, also at this point league has 166 champs, i don't think for Ip we need more (they make champ pool vide as ocean and deep as puddle), at this point i think player base would prefer increase game quality bar on average with 5-6 ASu/reworks a year and reduce new champs number to 2 year, at least for few years, by the time they finish MMO will be out :)
I miss the time of 2018/19 where we had only like 2 new champs but 8 full reworks or something. Was the really good stuff. Now we get 1 a year (IF WE'RE LUCKY)
yes! reworks >>>>>>> new champs
Too bad the huge amount of people complained
You mean 6: Irelia, Aatrox, Nunu, Ezreal, Akali, Swain,
While Riot really left all old champs into dust cz no voting for VGU since Skarner
League has gotten EXPONENTIALLY & PROGRESSIVELY more complacent throughout the years. It's almost as if the more successful they got the more lazy they became.
i really want to see more ASU's. There are countless champions that need it so badly. I would love to see bare minimum of 3 ASU per year, if they can even slow down more on new champion releases. Zilean, Malphite, Ashe, Jana. So much more... need it.
nah they only care about money , asu makes no money so they dont give a shit
And the worst news is that Ashe already got an ASU way back in the day, so she's gonna have to wait one more decade
Zilean needs a full rework not an ASU, his gameplay is trash
@@falcod7374 to be fair, on my end, I refrained from buying a lot of skins that looked good on the splash art just because the actual skin in game looks bad. I used to play Malzahar and Kennen a lot and literally only ever bought 1 skin for them. When I moved over to support I picked up Bard, and now I have almost all it's skins, because they all look cool in game.
This may be a me thing, but still, there could be many others like me and Riot may be losing that extra profit on the long run by not giving a shit about older champs
(sorry for the long reply lmao)
U got no idea how much I've avoided playing corki in aram just cuz of how dogsht his model looks lol.
I think the answer is obvious. ASU's don't generate a lot of money. But there are plenty of champs that I would play and buy skins for if they were updated.
Same. I would complete my lux collection if she got a visual update
same, i have come to learn and love older champs because they had a skin that made the champ not look like shit.... visuals... are.... important.
I refuse to buy non legendary skins for old champs because they're so ass.
Exactly, it's a catch 22. But honestly I just think the solution is devoting a team to do SOMETHING with the pizza feet champs otherwise the problem only festers the longer time goes on and as Remus said a bandaid solution of simply porting the already done work of the Wild Rift models on PC is better than no solution at all.
Again, this is a problem that can start being alleviated now rather than the current strategy of "later" where there's an ever increasing gulf in fidelity and quality between new champs and old champs and the current strategy is absolutely not a tenable solution longterm.
All it takes is devoting a little foresight and resources to it. The appeal of the novel and shiny new champ/skin is strong I know but can we not forget the 50-60+ champs we have already that have been in the game for 6 or more years please?
and it’s not even about old skins that only mainers will buy! The new skins look very, very bad. The last 2 Lux skins have great effects and the ugliest model. I'm sure the new Ahri skin after the rework brought in more money than both of these Lux skins.
Honesty, i really think they should just full out stop production of new champs to update all the old ones. We have enough champs, make the ones we have look better
Players, including me, want new champions. Look at Hwei, it's a good addition to the game.
I'm not trying to say new champs are bad. I'm just saying that they shouldn't put resources to making new champs when old ones look as old as they are. Plus, it's not like they're even working all that hard or new champs, either. We've had some of the least numbers of champioms released these past two years and all for what? ONE rework. Udyr. Udyr, more than a year ago, was the last rework. How much we enjoy new champs doesn't balance our how much old champs need to be updated
@@GhostyBoi7737Ok but let's consider that then. They lowered the number of champion releases and still could not find the bandwidth to release more reworks. This now means there's unaccounted for workload that probably is going towards the MMO.
You mean they should stop production of skins and new champions, since that would also greatly increase their update speed
@@themonkeys96Then riot needs to communicate that. They can’t just give us less content per year and say “sorry guys, it takes a lot more time for a billion dollar company to do stuff that an indie company can do in a week”. We need answers as to where their resources are going. Otherwise it looks like immense corporate greed (which is already the case anyway in most big companies in the gaming industry)
They treat reworks as a big event once a year. But in reality they need to happen ALOT faster! They need to step on the gas pedal.
I'm shutting up BC I'm waiting for their mmo so I let them take their time 😤
I wouldn't mind getting 1 to 0 new champs a year if they rework the old champs for the next few years. There's what 160+ champs and half are stuck in the bronze age and new champs keep getting added that are "unique" carbon copies?
@@PontiusPontiac A realistic compromise I think would be a nice balance… like 4 new champs and 3-4 reworks. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than the current 5-7 new champs every year. Especially when sometimes those new champs are only weeks apart.
*_GAS GAS GAS!!!_*
A rework is so much more work for less value for them. They have to remake a lot of skins that most ppl probably own + there s the chance of displeasing a part of the community that loved the old champ.
Skarner's VGU taking close to 2 years while other champions are being released makes me feel hopeless that Riot will ever focus their resources and attention on older champions. I think releasing 3-5 champions, 2-3 ASU's, and 1-3 community-voted VGU's each year is possible and needed. I just hope Riot will listen and reconsider.
Majority of players care more about new champs than reworks. They also risk alienating the current playerbase of said champions. It's fine if that champs were unpopular. But for them to rework extremely popular one like noc would lead to a lots of problems
@@dieptrieu6564 That is why we had community polls, to check if players even want that champ to get reworked. But they still could, imo should, do more ASU's. And it's not like we are getting a lot of new champs, 4 this year. Granted we will be getting some changes to the map, Baron and Herald (current Shelly looks better imo) update, and a new monster. Still think they could pull back on skins a bit, give older champs ASU's, and just re-release some legacy skins, it's not like ppl wouldn't buy them. If they want to stick to 4 champs a year, 3 ASU's a year would be fine. Champ - update - champ etc, with some smaller changes sprinkled in.
@@aro480_ well, a couple things. polls are heavily biased. Ask any creator; their most watched contet won't necessarily be the one the "fans" voted for. And 2-3 asus a year is exactly what they promised. That still means it would take like 10 years to rework 30 champions when you actually think about it. but that's fine.
cant wait for shyvana rework in 2050 🔥
She needs to lose 3 more vote polls first and then they might do something
elementalist drake shyvanna needs to happen
honestly, cho gath needs it way harder
@@magical571 no lol your on crack cho has good skins that are up to date sure his model could be better but they plenty need more a update then cho like shyvanna!
I honestly feel like it’s been 2 years since Skarner won the rework vote. I’ve been waiting for them to hurry their ass up cause I want a Nocturne rework and Shyvana rework
n o w
Nocturne doesn’t really need a rework tbh. But I understand
@@tinybirdgaming9858 at least visually he does.
@@tinybirdgaming9858 his kit is really outdated as his kit was made for sticking on champs and chasing them but since every champ has a dash nowadays it is difficult to stick on enemys
took them year and half to drop udyr.
Only thing id ask for is them deciding if hes a fighter or an assasin. His passive encourages attack speed but hes built for burst primarily...@@tinybirdgaming9858
I really wish we had a league overhaul in general. So many things could be updated. I know easier said then done but with riots resources I really don’t think it’s too much to ask. So many champions are held back and league is a simple game it would t be that hard :/
What else would you like to see updated/changed/reworked ?
@@fae567Srsly, so many outdated models that needs a visual rework, who wants to play them if the base model is basically a PS1 model. We already got more than enough champs releases, not to mention most of them r slayers, these nonstop new champs already caused a huge amount of resources to balance them, u dun need a ton of champions when in reality not many bothers to pick up after an initial release.
@@fae567 There are a lot of things I would like to see updated but a lot of update require newer systems to be implemented etc which is why I would love to see an overhaul on certain systems. It would allow league to do more with their client and in game. Would love to see them implement a cleaner client and use showcase models like wild rift. It’s the world of Runeterra and I would love to see more of this implemented in game as well. Having different game modes would help with that. The new void stuff is also great. Also so many champions need visual updates. The fact Leblanc and nidalee (lowkey racist) are still allowed to look the way they do in 2023 is crazy. Riot has the power to update these champs but instead we get maybe 2 a year. Also when it comes to those visual updates we barely get any info. We saw pics of Treemo and lee awhile back but since then crickets.. The game is started to look dated. Even the map in some cases. I can actually see where the map pngs don’t line up properly and there are random lines on the map. The maps has been updated but still runs on an old system. That’s just my lil 2 cents lol
@@xmorganjax6433 I agree with everything and I didn't think about the showcasing champs like in wild rift but I would loooove it
@@Gamber63 I agree but that's not something else. This is precisely what I already know. I asked the person who made the comment because they said they wanted multiple things reworked
RiotGames: Never mind let's make another 4 new champions that no body asked for
To be fair, its hard to ask for something when the world feels so close to complete, and you dont know what could be added
@@lv4715that's exactly why reworks are better than new additions though
@@omega7057 Yep, i know. But new champions still have the ability to be cool. Hwei, K'sante (STORY WISE), Naafiri, etc. But yeah, i do agree.
If riot listened to you the game would die instantly. You weirdos have to realise that all of us are a VERY loud minority
Riot make money from skins. Would they rather come up with a new champion and new skins to sell or rework an older champions and remake at good chunk of older skins while not offering anything new to the table?
What really upsets me is that for the first update poll Mundo was the least voted for character but he got updated before Shyvana AND Nocturne... feels bad seeing Shyv always getting so close to the top and they do nothing for her
That's really the thing about the "ASUs cost money but they don't make money" thing. An ASU is a foundation, an investment in future profitable ventures, not something that is profitable in and of itself. If you update a champion then you can make higher quality cosmetics for that champion that more people are likely to want to buy.
And then they release new champ like briar with a trash skin does that even make money, or nilah or zeri with their low playrate
Making a new champ is also an investment. So it's all about which invetment would have the higher priority, ie which one have the higher potential for big profit. And i'd say that new champ will always have bigger potential to make more money than old ones.
The thing is, most of the older champions have very good kits to this day, so they don't even need a full VGU. An ASU is more than enough for champions like Cho, Zilean, Amumu and basicly half the names mentioned at the beginning. And yes, the reason popularity for those champions is so low is mainly because of their appearance. It would need just one test run to see if there's a spike of interest (like the new scam gatcha skins).
Zilean is really boring and as a time mage not really appealing
Fingers crossed the extra revenue from those reaches champ updates honestly while Id still be sad if rakan got one id never complain about them again if we saw the money going towards visual updates or asu’s
Incredible take, honestly. It is a little sadge to see the internet explode in lush creativity, seeing fan-made reworks and model updates while Riot kinda sits in the backseat and pumps out whatever will make a quick buck.
The bigger problem is actually the higherups imo. They are stuck up and don't want to greenlight concepts that could not net them immense money from FOMO. I've understood this for a while, even going as far back as the LCU (League Client Update) like 8 years ago, but a good example recently is Nidalee's voice update - the designers literally had to convince the corporate execs with tooth, nail, blood, sweat, tears, f*ng whatever you want to add here, in order to get a simple voice update out. It's really depressing. Everyone hopes they do reconsider stepping up with champion updates.
Obligatory: game needs fewer new champs. They have been slowing down lately, but the updates are slowing down as well. Not that new champs are bad. Just that the game needs more champs that already exist to be seen. Both in gameplay and in the universe. It seems every new champ takes like a year on average for design and art, and they delegate the design work to a specific team; this team is then occupied by the new champion. Then when narrative and concepts are done and they are passed to engineering, they have only A SINGLE team working on each section (one audio team, one VFX team, one balance team, one marketing team); this means that the new champ takes all of their work.
Generally the LoL section of the company just lacks employees - *despite* the budget - and not only is this due to (again) corporate execs doing le funny cutoffs whenever they know they can get away with it, but also because of lack of hands and brains in the market that have expertise especially in/available in LA. For game designers specifically, they also use a very deprecated and limited engine which has shown its age very sharply. They have to train employees for a whole semester for them to just intern at the company. Riot is an extremely extremely idiosyncratic/particular company, which is why they are on the top of the (no pun intended) game. But another factor for why we are here rn is STILL the result of the pandemic and gaming companies' massive layoffs for-whatever-reason double whammy in the 2020-2022 range. I see a lot of new Rioters this year though, which is a decent direction.
It's all connected.
Amen
We need a year or 2 with no new champs just reworks and updates
I would love an entire year dedicated to ASUs, maybe 1 or 2 new champs but the rest ASUs, jax's one was pretty fast, why couldnt we get like 6 or 7 like that one a year
For real, splash arts are outsourced anyway, therefore it's just rigging and model/texturework on Riot's side. They have said that they redo some code, but they just did that out of the blue with Fiora for no reason. As someone who participates in the creative arts, I feel like they're blowing this way out of proportion when you consider how many people are on the League team.
I feel like they should try hiring the people who make the modded versions of the champions o help with the ASUs cause it would be very cool to see that happening
"skinlines are the most expensive to rework" skarner has 5. 5 skins. it really doesn't take that much time if u have a team of 20+ people doing a single champion
I agree why can’t they update these older champions
I don't understand why they make every character "smoother" with rework. I mean Jax and Udyr looks like they are made from play dough.
Probably cause thats the aesthetic they are going for? Those two also show a decent amount of skin so thats how they texture skin? I dunno.
play dough 💀
I really think they should update the old champions, before adding so many new champions!
Yeah, no. Any good studio would update all the champions in about 2 months max. Riot doesn't have any argument for not updating the old champions. The only real reason they won't do it is money. Plain and simple.
Selling new skins is more profitable than reworks. Big company bosses want to milk money as much as possible and they dont care about the game’s situation or quality. They want to drink margarita while getting tanned on the beach.
I would much rather prefer reworks rather then another bs 1024 different combo's overpowered infinite healing satanic champion coming out of Riot Games
We really need to give this issue more awareness
If in the time WoW makes an entire continent Riot can't make a single scorpion, then I might fear for the Riot MMO
I honestly wouldn't mind a MacGuffin that result in Riot focusng solely on ASU's for a full season. Make it an event, celebrate it, introduce a mini cinematic for every few chaps just interacting similar to the early LoR Akali & Shen cninematic or the experimental Darius sketch one. Put their old skins on sale to intrigue people into buying them and make up for the lost costs.
I really believe it could be done if they cared/ put their mind to it.
Imagine a massive poster of 30+ champs in their old models, posing together and throughout the year with each new ASU the new modle replaces the old one.
As someone who loved old Mordekaiser, be careful what you wish for.
Once it's gone, you can NEVER get it back.
we want no new champs only ground up updates riot
also league players: "it changed so much it may as well be a new champ".
Well they don't really have a reason to mass ASU champs. They will only lose money and for small indie company that's no no. Maybe when player numbers start dropping they may consider to do more ASU and new stuff.
I'm about 90% sure that the reason Riot is moving so slow on League, is that it plans to have Wild Rift catch up and then they'll entirely replace PC League with Wild Rift.
i hope not, wild rift is hot garbage
@@elia0162it's a young videogame mode, and it's growing well, have some compassion man
This makes no sense. They're moving slow because game development is slow.
And why would they do that?
tbh I think they have much more resources allocated to the MMO and other projects rather than League right now. It's been a while now that people talk about LoL being in "maintenance mode" nowadays.
maybe if they cut down on the amount of skin and new champion releases, they could focus more on ASUs. Even if it's not a fully rework, a visual update should benefit lots of champs. The fact that Corki with 3 polygons and Hwei with an 8K HQ model are in the same game is astonishing.
Maybe if they just hired multiple teams with how much money the game makes they could do both its so disgusting to even have to think about making compromises to do the bare minimum
These supposed "conditions" are straight up lies. Given recent releases and reworks, what we see that the consistance, place in the game and so on DOES NOT MATTER to them. It is simply a financial choice to release new content instead of rework cuz new content brings new people into the game
WE DONT NEED MORE CHAMPIONS!!! theres too many already, so why not put in more time on reworking champions instead of making new ones? Focus more on rework and release only 1 new champion per year
the need popularity to update a champion? BUT THEY ARE NOT PLAYED BECAUSE THEY LOOK SO BAD they are insane
i dont think they all need VGUs take gragas teemo and lee sin for example
however ALOT of the cast needs ASUs
also good luck trying to make them rework lux with her 20 billion skins
Since new champions get released with 1 skin, at max 2 skins sometimes (prestige skins)
Why not rework an old champion, and then release a new skin for that champ with the new rework. I’m sure it would make more money than a new champion would because of mains buying them.
Honestly, I want to see more updated champions than new ones. Better have all the existing champions be on equal footing first before puking more. I like Hwei but let`s be honest, how necessary was him for this game and its lore?
I completely agree that riot needs to make more ASU's, but a lot of the champions on that list feel like they don't need a visual rework, atleast not nearly as urgently as the rest. Jarvan, xin zhao, fizz, and vayne all look fine enough in game to me.
This game is on maintenance mode, and resources have been pulled long ago. The only people still working on League of Legends is the skin team pumping out mediocre models to keep the money flowing. Low risk, high reward, and pour profits into new ventures. Their only concern with league is the e sports scene.
my guess is that the old client just make reworks and ASU really timeconsuming and difficult. After an engine has aged this much, you really become limited. The only way out in the long run, is to port it to a new engine. But that takes a lot of time and money.
By the time my main gets a rework I'd be 6 feet below the ground 💀
LMAO
Can't they just like, import the detailed champion close-view-preview models from Wild Rift to PC? PC should handle them being in game... Easiest content.
I think the resources that were working on skins and character updates were alocated to the MMO since almost every single character will pop up somewhere in the world, so fingers crossed that theres a massive content dump once the mmo moves closer to completion, since the visuals are just a part of the development and they could plan around it.
We're about GTA 6 before rework half of those champions 😂
And where is the updating the old splash art that they promised, It only happened with Rugged Garen, Riot really never fail to disappoint
i know the reworks cost money and all things, but u are making a lot of money by just recoloring a legendary skin sooo...
Since forever riot was really really bad at efficiency with new content... maybe the reason is their code is just that bad? I have no idea
It's just a classic case of whatever makes more money gets more priority. They would rather their artists spend all their time on skins than actually modernising the game.
I hate how they answer to every thing with " but money…" they are making the worst decisions for the longetivity of the game because of their short sighted vision
Wake me up when they touch Riven or Darius probably 50 years later
Its just PC league players that get left behind while wild rift get all the cool shit.
It is more profitable to sell skins for new champions than to redo the skins of old champions for free
Okay well if it’s by popularity why haven’t they done Vayne ?
That's so clueless to say that ASU or VGU is only a model update.
It's needs to be 3 reworks for every new champ, not 3 new champs for every rework
You have my total support on this. If you start a petition I will sign it.
Their explanations are them just talking around and mostly just merchant-lies.there should be 10 ASUs und 5 reworks a year at least as this point. They should feel ashamed of themselves that after over 10 years SO MANY are so outdated they can’t even closely rival with models from dota, hots and i think even smite. But some of their whales are like blizzards and that’s a big issue too… ppl should buy skins for old/outdated champs and don’t buy new champs and skins immediately. To push the cruel/greedy financial department to action. I stopped giving Riot my money years ago when I read their pathetic arguments for such a big company nowadays and where the money goes. It’s sad. we already have so many champions and there really is no sense to add more especially 4 each year. Put this energy and time into updating the game on one equal level instead and if they still beg to release a new champion for whatever reason then it should be just one new champ each year and again AT LEAST 10 ASUs and 5 VGUs at least.
Gragas doesn't need a visual update. Gragas is beautiful the way he is
please be more patient with the indie company, they are working their best to keep up with the schedule
If they rework shaco I’m deleting league
We need more ASU or VGU per year, but Riot don`t care
The excuse riot gives for this few updates on champs,sound like indeed they are an indie company with max 30-40 people.
Forget it, they are planning for Arcane and LoL 2 😂
Small indie game company with no resources
Idk it just makes sense to me to reduce the amount of new Champs that are released and get all the old Champs up to date. The game had been getting nice visual updates and we can clearly see what they're capable of but then you see characters like zilean, nocturne and many more just look so out of place and needing proper updates
Yes it makes sense to you. And who are you? Are you in charge of hundreds of employees and making decisions that could severely damage the income of one of the most successful game companies? No? Then just leave the thinking to the people who are actually in those positions. I'm sure they'd all love to do whatever they want, but it's simply not that easy.
@@dannypavlov223 and you wanna talk about keeping people employed? Google how much riot made alone last year. Over a billion dollars so clearly money isn't the issue so they have the resources to not only keep a team of workers but to pay them well. Again you're being a white night for a billion dollar company that clearly only care about the players debit cards and not the players themselves
@@dannypavlov223 lol, sure... As if money wasn't the issue. They simply don't profit as much when they rework old champs than when they release new skins and champions. Riot is greedy, simple as that. It showed up a lot this year (selling a legendary looking skin the full price of an ultimate one, despite the community literally BEGGING for them to lower the price, hi Samira)
They don't give a shit about players anymore, just what will sell more 🤣
i honestly think we will see gta7 before every Champ gets updated, unironically
Am I the only one that thinks this could be easily outsourced? Like... I genuinely think they could just pay some third party artists, do a quality check, then get it done in a cpl months.
Most champions just need a model and audio update, so tecnically we can make a 6 AVU in year. And just rewrite some code for spells like Kogmaw E + grounded effects, etc.
But rito a lazy, who more care about skins and make another low-key anime champs
I like pizza feet champions I hate reworks
Waiting for Kata ❤😩
Forget reworks, i just want asu's. I hate that some of my favorite champions are gone just to make them more popular.
Legit. I'm a mordekaiser main and they completely ruined him. They completely changed his kit and playstyle and his identity.
Next year is the 15th anniversary. They should use next season after 2024 to revamp all the outdated parts of the game. Have 2025 be the “rerelease of league” in a sense as they rework all the old champs as wel as visually updating all the characters that desperately need it. Hopefully they can go and fix all the bugs that haven’t been touched in years also.
If they keep making the same amount of new champs as the amount of reworks, nothing will really change and champs that are older than x amount of years will STILL need reworks. Though as a cho main I just want my man to have more than 15 polygons :(
How did we go from 1 new champ a month to 1 a year?
I want back the old ryze and katarina
I Literally dreamed about the 3 assasins (katarina, talon, rengar) will have ab ASU update and i saw it in a yt vid in my ddreams and the title of the youtube vid that Leauge post is Assasin update 2. I hope it will come true
Also what i like about it is Talon can remove and put his hood back by controlling ctrl + 5 lmaoo it happened in 2020 tho
Rengar is fine visually
I think it all comes down to
For the works necessary, reworking really doesn't make lots of money compare to making new skins or new champs.
Lots of older skins are cheap because of the quality, but then if you rework a champion you'll need a proper art and model sometimes new effects, while it still sells at the low price, not to say lots of people probably already own them.
If they're giving a gameplay update then they have to be careful to not piss off the people than mains those champs as well.
Exactly, the cheap Jax skins and Ahri skins are almost as good as their epic ones.
I love Ahri, so her rework didn’t make me play her more, or buy more of her skins, since i already had most of them, as i mained Ahri before.
Reworks are a measure to keep interest in the game so you will keep playing and spending on other things. What we could do is give a break for 1 or 2 years, play other games, and then come back for the VGU of our main champs.
there is no competition to lol and the game keeps giving a lot a viewers so riot dont have any pressure to make the game better, they will keep this pace till game starts going down in numbers cuz that the only way to hit riot.
We need reworks way more than we need new champs.
I Feel like if Riot were to REALLY want to invest their time into how we players enjoy League Of Legends, they'd Invest More on ACTUALLY Balancing and making the game feel fresh every once in a while!
Especially with your point of More OVERALL Reworks, Remasterings, etc.
It’s really just sad that in the end it’s all about the money for them and they would rather focus on forcing new champs that are not really needed rather than focusing a year on fixing these 35 new champs (especially Vladimir pls rito)
A good machine is a broken machine. With this mindset "afraid of overshipping, overdelivery" and riot can still milking the hell out of cosmetic, this game will never be perfect. They just make us believe in a false hope that in future we will update them, but no. Stalling tatics create more jobs, more problem so the machine can keep on running and people working at riot games will never running out of jobs to do. This sucks.
If it ain't broke don't fix it
they talk about popularity but lux is legit there whole ass money making poster child. if anything is surprising that she hasn't going an asu already
I think VGUS are different because you are having a likely chance to make WAY more skins (Especially in the current era of league) for a single champ in a single patch (I believe all in the Champs team) compared to like, 4-5 skins of different champs in the Skins team, on top of sometimes needing to work for a legendary skin on top of the VGU (Meaning new set of animations and voicelines).
Also the idea of just throwing money into it to get more people doesn't seem like a great practical idea tbh.
katarina, fiora, irelia, olaf, chogat,Veigar, teemo, lee sin, soraka, syndra, gragas, vladimir, zilean, amumu, corki,shaco,vayne,leona,tryndamere, riven,Malphite, Anivia, lux, brand, orianna, janna,talon, graves,rammus,Kennen,wukong, shyvana , skarner , fizz, twisted fate, Nasus, renekton, Nautilus,Ashe, Nidalee,Annie,Miss Fortune, Evelynn, Jinx These all champs needs ASU.
Pff,We will get to 2025 and Zilean is still T-Posing the whole match
Grandpa has like, 2 animations xD Ridiculous, they should be ashamed of the champion state and fix it asap
They are not a small indie company
Riot literally have an infinite money hack and every time the argument about resources i am like......YOU ARE LITERALLY THE COMPANY WITH THE MOST FK U MONEY IN THE WORLD.....USE SOME OF IT
Or, you know. They could freaking import the models from wild rift? The graphics in that game legitimately look better than on PC
If you want to see what your champion will look like in a visual update go see if wild rift has that champion and look at them
Wild rift gets a ton of visual updates and most pc players who ignore wild rift dont end up seeing that yes that visual update does exist and will come to pc
Im glad youre using your platform to highlight this issue
They boasted about their "biggest yearly budget ever" but that was to give the shareholders hope. Not the players :/
Do NOT REWORK VEIGAR AMUMU OR ZILEAN PLEASE just give them a visual update and make their models and abilities not look like shit 😭😭😭
They have time to invest into a $200 skin but they don't have time to do reworks. Look at the Evelynn rework:
People who thirsted over her were into her.
People who enjoyed lore enjoyed the new/expansion they did with Runeterra's world.
Her rework reveals/trailers/spotlights have made millions of views to increase popularity and demand.
Imagine someone like Leblanc who would have the same effect?!
People would thirst, obviously. Fanservice is still positive service I guess.
BUT LEBLANC is a MAJOR force in the Runterra lore for Noxus and so many champions in and out of the city!! I need more mysteries revealed on Leblanc's plans!!! I need more Black Rose references(give me more Elise interactions too, selfishly).
But all of that combined would increase exposure and focus so much attention into the work put into the world of LoL. IT's WORTH IT!
But no, please make more $200 skin recolors.
Honestly I just wish they would really stop or atleast SLOW DOWN MASSIVELY with making new champs. There is already too many. I dont think anyone would be bothered with only 1 or 2 new champs a year.
They dont do it because it drops no profit. Hunt: Showdown is the best example on how riot should handle it, they are currently changing Hunt to the latest version of the cryengine after they rebuilt their WHOLE GAME, we are talking KILOMETERS of maps, compounds, bosslayers, houses, woodhouses, forests, tools, skins, weapon-skins, legendary-hunters (basically hunter skins with build in random perks), throwables, weapons, furniture, maptextures, bosses, artworks for EVERYTHING, developed a PS5 and xbox series version of it and so much more at the same time in less than 1 year. A small studio like crytek rebuilt their whole fcking game all while still running the show on live-servers with a new event coming today and more content getting put into it like new guns, skins, with patch 1.15 a new map and riot cant get shit done.
Remember when in 2018 we got: full VGU for Swain, Irelia, Aatrox, Akali and Nunu and an ASU for Ezreal? All that in one year. Riot could do this, but they don't want to, instead, they want to focus everything on skins and "events".
All i went it my boys Cho'gath (MAIN) and Malphite they are there since the start of the game AND malphite is up to date in very thing except is MODEL!! (-splash art Done -ability splash art Done -Legend of Runeterra Has a beautiful model Done -Wild rift GOT the Freaking model AND even TFT got a Better malphite model !!!! i own it bc of that) :( am hype for the baby Dragon champ lets hope its what they said a creature champ
I sympathize with the developers. TO BE CLEAR: yes, the devs are capable of doing a ton more, and RIOT is purposely holding the game back, but you all need to understand something. Most of the devs want to make better choices for the game, but corporate is basically forcing them to put terrible dogshit things in the game like the $200 jhin chroma, or complete lack of ASUs. I fully believe that if the dev team were given free reign to do what they want, the game would be WAY better. All I'm saying is, dont blame the devs, blame RIOT corporate.
They surely do stuff for money first, Riot was company of people, who understand business, not who understand gamedev. Considering state of the game - big doubts it changed.
Do I want to see more ASUs? No, since I think they should remake the whole game.
But they'll do what they'll do. I don't expect anything.
