Strategically speaking we are looking for high mobility split pushers who can duel.However, the trade off is usually a terrible landing phase, especially against these bots. Although they can sometimes easily kill the enemy, it's recommended not to, especially in 5 bombs mode.Yi - with life steal, attack speed, and mobility, it is easier for Yi to win through splitpushing. Kit allows him to solo any doombot.Jax - the other best split pusher in the game, similar dueling potential to Yi.Nocturne - an unusual pick, but with his passive, attack speed items, and Hydra, he can waveclear as well as anyone. Spellshield is very useful, and Ult can be used to trick bots.Rengar - again, a good duelist with decent escape and burst. Tower killing speed is great too.Pantheon - Hydra makes him clear well, but his ult allows him to split push far more effectively than anyone else.Twisted Fate - like Pantheon, he has a long range teleport as well as 2 forms of wave clear. Pretty good at pushing towers.Ziggs - wave clear, poke,. Well, it's Ziggs.Tryndamere - another good splitpusher. Way too easy to kill towers.Talon - silence vs doombots? Wave clear too. How Doom Bots Could Be a Permanent LoL Gamemode Riot Games recently released the Doom Bots to League of Legends last week, which is essentially a gamemode where the game’s AI Bots are turned up to 11 in terms of frustrating(ly hilarious) difficulty.

In a Legends 2:50 Champion thumbnail Janna Lvl 100 Doom Bots WIN with Janna. All you have to do is pick ranged champions, pick Teleport + whatever else (usually Flash) and push as all 5 members down the mid lane until you get inhib. Then you push down top as all 5 until inhib, and then do the same for bot lane. And then, you have three guys bait all 5 bots who are.
Back to HellSo is finally out. And, as we hoped for the longest time, Doom is brilliant. But whether you’re a returning fan of the original games, or a new enthusiast wanting to get in on all of this lighting-fast, skull-shakingly kinetic demon slaughter for the first time, there are things you need to know. You see, Doom is a very different game to pretty much anything else out there right now. In both campaign and multiplayer, it’s a unique proposition that requires you to relearn the book on FPS, whoever you are.So it’s time to impart the knowledge. Ahead, you’ll find 11 key tips and approaches for rampaging your way through to Hell and back, and then nine more for effectively murdering your fellow Doomguys online upon your return. Doom is much more than ‘circle-strafe FTW’, and so there is much to learn. So let’s get started, shall we?SINGLE PLAYER: For God’s sake, moveThe first, second, third, fourth, and last thing you need to do in Doom is move. It comes before shooting, it comes before those skull-cracking Glory Kills, and it comes before even thinking about chainsawing anything in half. Because movement is the thing that facilitates your ability to do any of the above effectively.Hold still, and Doom’s demons – whether high-flying rocket-slingers or ground-based melee specialists – are going to swarm you like wasps made of brimstone, lava and eternal torment (so wasps, then). You’ll get boxed in, you’ll get shot to pieces, and then you’ll die. Constant movement is your greatest weapon. Run, strafe, shimmy and leap. As long as you’re constantly shifting your position, you’ll keep Hell’s forces (just) at bay, and maintain an upper-hand of ever-changing firing angles and opportunities required to optimise your use of different weapons. This is how you do it. At its core, this is how you play Doom. Don’t worry about focusing too much on one enemyLeading off from that point, it will often be tempting to focus your aggression on the biggest enemy on the field until it’s dead. But that is not always wise. In fact, it is often the opposite. If you have that Hell Knight or Mancubus pinned down in a relatively secluded corner of the fight, by all means hammer it for a moment, but always remember that this strategy should be the exception, not the rule. If you’re holding a localised position, everything else on the battlefield is closing in on you. I promise you. It’s happening. And you don’t want that.Instead, hit-and-run is your best bet. Of course, you should do as much damage to the big guys as is safe to do so at any given moment – weapon-switching is your friend in this respect – but you should always be doing so while constantly roving of the fight area, hitting everything you can with whatever’s response is most appropriate. You’ll be much safer evading something dangerous than you will concentrating too long on killing it, and you’ll do much greater damage to the overall demon forces by spreading the pain around. Soften them up, and you’ll be amazed by how fast those big threats drop, all at the same time, toward the end of the battle. But there is an exception to this rule Identify any key players and take them out firstMany fights have a priority enemy that just has to go down as quickly as possible. But these aren’t always the biggest, most obvious monsters. Doom’s demons complement each other beautifully in terms of their abilities, and so, depending on the situation, the presence of almost any monster can massively amplify the threat of the overall opposition. The right demon in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world, and you need to be aware of which one that is at any given moment.A Summoner – which will spawn in more demons for as long as it’s alive – is an obvious target, but the rest will depend on what’s happening. If you’re in a wide, tall arena, then long range, air-to-ground fire from Revenants and Cacodemons will cause you big problems if you try to ignore it. In tighter, more intricate areas, the fast, powerful melee hits of Pinky demons and Hell Knights will shut you down really fast if you don’t get drop them as a matter of priority. Even a large number of Imps can screw you up if enough of them get to high vantage points and start lobbing down fireballs. The only hard-and-fast rule rule concerns the overall approach you should take. Appraise, contextualise, and then respond. But do it quickly. And as a side note Leave the grunts aloneThe lowest-level demons – Unwilling zombies, Possessed Engineers, and (depending on the situation) Imps – will often intimidate with their numbers, but they’re rarely an immediate threat. What they are is a resource. When the fight escalates and things get hectic (and both of these things will happen; what you immediately see is rarely all you get in Doom), you’ll be very, very glad of some quick-to-kill meatbags to set up for Glory Kills and the health boosts that come with them. Unless they’re causing big movement problems, treat the grunts less like monsters and more like supply crates. Supply crates you open not with a crowbar, but with your fists and feet, and a lot of twisting.And stepping back to some bigger-picture strategy Don’t grab the power-ups straight away. You don’t need them yetBut you will. Because things are going to get crazier. Any arena fight you find in Doom will go through several stages of escalation, so while it’s tempting to nab that Quad Damage or Berserk – it’s always tempting to grab that Berserk – and mulch through those zombies and Imps in a couple of seconds, you’re only screwing over future-you.In a few minutes, Hell’s big guns are going to arrive, and, especially in the later stages of the campaign, you’re going to wish you had a nuclear option. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Armour plating on fire off the shoulder of Doomguy. I watched Revenant beams glitter in the dark near the Yellow Key Gate. Trust me, by the time you’re dealing with several of EVERYTHING at the same time, the fact that he didn’t squander the ability to punch the head off a Baron of Hell is going make past-you the coolest person ever. And similarly Don’t panic. Doom 2016 BotsDon’t blow your ‘best’ weapons too earlyIe. ‘Do not piss away all of your rockets and BFG ammo at the first sign of a Pinky’. The reasons are partly the same as when it comes to power-ups, but there’s also the important matter of weapon suitability to take into account. Because not every gun is created equal, and the ones that pack the biggest immediate punch are not necessarily the most powerful. Again, it all comes down to situation and tactical context.Got a Gauss Rifle? It’ll murder anything you point it at pretty damn quick. But you really want to hang onto it for when the Cacodemons arrive. Its charged shot will kill them faster than anything. Save those for slowing down distant – but rapidly incoming – Knights, and for setting off explosions behind the soft flanks of Pinkies if you have the remote detonator unlocked. But if those two get close, you’ll do better by ducking and weaving with a shotgun. Just as importantly, some guns are just too powerful to use in certain situations. Fire a rocket into the middle of that mob of zombies, and they’ll be in soggy, charred bits long before you have a chance for a Glory Kill. Doom’s combat is a marathon, not a sprint. Sustained – and sustainable – combat is the key to dominance. Upgrade your health and armour firstGetting into the meta-game, you need to prioritise the right upgrades. In terms of your Praetor Suit – which can be upgraded with Argent caches hidden around Mars and Hell – you want to hit health and armour first, in that order, and then move on to ammo capacity. Keep cycling through the trio like that, and every three caches you’ll find will send everything up a level, all nice and evenly. You need push none of them any faster than that.It’s worth keeping them in balance rather than boosting one and having to play catch-up with the others later on, but doing so in this order will make sure that your survivability rating is always up to par with the current situation regardless. Ammo is a lesser priority, because the chainsaw’s bullet-spewing kills will ensure that even if your maximum load is a bit lower, you can remain topped up at all times. Think about your gun upgrades. They’re game-changersWhen you find the service bots that install new gun mods, take a moment to properly investigate each one, including its upgrade path. Do not just buy one on a whim because it sounds superficially cool. All of these things expand your tactical options in fundamental ways, so you really need to acquire and upgrade them in the order that’s going to give you the most benefit and the most fun, based on how you play.The combat shotgun’s grenade launcher, for instance, allows you to clear space at medium range at the same time as beating the hell out of anything close up, letting you make the free time to engage in prolonged buckshot battles without getting (too) mobbed. Its rapid-fire salvo, meanwhile, doubles (in fact triples) down on its prowess for up-close assault, and eventually gives you damage bonuses, meaning that it will tear through a small group like wet paper. Similarly, the plasma rifle’s two options allow you to either fire a large stun-shot to temporarily lock down certain enemies, or charge up a localised, area-of-effect heat burst through continual fire. You can unlock all of these things in one campaign run if you explore properly, but you’re bound to find some more important than others. Think about that when you upgrade. Explore, in every directionAs for finding all the stuff you need in order to power up, exploration is king. Doom is frequently a very non-linear game, and you need to accept and embrace that right away. In between fights, you should be checking your (constantly updating) map. Get used to swirling it around, zooming in and out, and changing viewing angles in order to decode every potential secret path and hidden-in-plain-sight platforming route around you. Because there will be a lot. And remember: Just because you can see a tantalisingly out-of-reach area, that doesn’t mean you should expect the way in to be nearby.Sometimes it is, of course, but sometimes you’ll find that the route to it loops back around from much further in the level. Or that a switch later on will open a door appearing earlier on your path. And always, always be ready to look up and down. Don’t assume that because you’re looking at a locked door then unlocking that door is the right thing to do. You’ll often find routes in via the ceiling or floor, and not necessarily direct ones either. Basically, just keep spinning your map, deciphering what you can – you can upgrade its detail as you go - and reverse-engineer a logical route between any secret that pings up and your current position. Even if there doesn’t seem to be a way to immediately navigate it. Because there will be, somewhere. If you really can’t find a hidden route, step back and look at the bigger pictureAnd if none of that works out for you, step away and stop scrutinising. I wasn’t joking about that ‘hidden-in-plain-sight’ thing. Doom is brilliant at that. Its level design frequently lays secret routes out right in front of you, just waiting for you to recognise the right platform or narrow ledge as being exactly what it is.All it takes is the right perspective, and perhaps a little distance, to see the flow of the platforming run ahead. So if you remain stumped by something you’re sure you should be able to get to, walk away a little and get a different view of it. And don’t underestimate how many things Doomguy is agile enough to get on top of. ‘Most things’ is the answer. . Doom Bots of Doom will be available between July 17th and July 27th! Meddler Q&A RoundupEarlier today, Meddler over on the recently updated community beta! He took a few hours to answer any questions summoners had on champions that he has designed or worked on as well as general questions on design and conception!' Hey all,Lead champion designer Andrei van Roon here. I've meddled in the origins of more than a half-dozen champs, having designed Ziggs as well as Syndra, Lissandra, and Varus. All the while I've also contributed to a number of other designs including most of our recent champions.Whether you’re looking for a few more answers to your moustachiest Braum questions, or wondering how Vel'Koz got his death ray, or just curious about new champion ideation, concepting and execution, ask away below!-MeddlerEdit: Thanks for the discussion folks, I've got to get back to work though at this point. Will drop back and answer a few more questions later on though.' Now on to the show! I've organized Meddler's responses based on general topics. Enoy!Next Champion. First and foremost, Meddler that our next champion is a TOP LANER!' Next champ's a top laner. Balancing a lane or the meta's not something we try to do with a single release though, the roster's too big and the game too complex for that to be a viable approach.' Ao Shin One of Ao Shin's early concept previews.! Ao Shin, a storm dragon champion, also came up but Meddler only that he is still a ways out:'Not for a long time. We do still plan to make Ao Shin, but we ran into a number of issues with how we were approaching him. As a result we basically took his concept back to the really early stages - would rather go for slow, but good, than quick but disappointing.' .He:'Ao Shin's likely to be the next dragon champ we make, he's a way off though (can say with certainty he won't be this year).' General - Design and Concepts. As for how many champion concepts are toss around in regard to how many actually make it through and into the game, Meddler that most never make it:'Most suggested champions never get made. A lot of ideas stop in their early stages when they're no more than a sketch or some discussion about abilities that might be interesting. Some do end up getting put aside later in the process though, either because the character's not working out or because we've got something we feel's better. A number of those ideas do later get revisited and often work out the second or third time though (Lucian and Vi are good examples of that). Finally champions do occasionally get cancelled late in the process, that's pretty rare though.' He elaborated on this in another comment,:'I've never sat down and actually counted. Gut reaction would be of concepts that have at least some work done on them (concept art or partially prototyped kit in game for example) at most 25% are released? A lot of other concepts get put aside before that though, when they're still just abilities on paper, a rough sketch, a possible story hook etc.' He continued, on how other champion's lore can play a role on new champions:'Some of both - some champs are great opportunities to expose or strengthen existing lore, others a chance to start something new. We generally do want to link champions together where appropriate, we'd rather go for what makes the best character though than force something. Additionally not every character mentioned in a champion's lore is necessarily a good fit for a new champion.' When asked if the team makes a new champion with a role in mind ahead of time or go with a concept and see how it turns out, Meddler:'QuoteGlad to have a chance to ask questions! First question (if you don't mind me jumping right into things): I'm curious, when making a new champ, do you have a role in mind ahead of time, or do you just start with an idea and decide on a role as the creative process continues? For example, do you set out intending to make, say, a new support? Or does a champ you are working on just end up being a support?We do have a rough layout of what roles we want to release over the course of the year. As a result if we're trying to come up with an idea for a particular release slot then yes, we do tend to target a particular role. Having said that if, during the exploration of a champion, we find out that a different role's a better fit for the character we're creating we'll embrace that new role and then usually change which slot we're planning to release said champion in.The other thing though is that not all champion ideas are targeted at a particular release slot.Some are instead explorations of what might be cool, with no fixed timeframe in mind. Those by contrast are pretty open, with the goals (gameplay, art and story) eventually deciding what role's a good fit.' Meddler also answer a question regarding if the team ever runs into a cool concept that is too similiar to one of the existing champions,:'Quote:Is there ever a time where you run into a problem when you have a really cool design, but a previous champion already fits that space? Like lets say you guys come up with a cool sword and shield champion, but you already have a champion such as Leona, a sword and bulwark like champ?Happens occasionally, there's almost always a way to differentiate characters though, assuming you're actually trying to make something different in the first place (and if not, what's the point?). Leona for example's a paladin like warrior who dives into a fight. Sword and shield however could also work well on a giant, slow, heavy warrior with a massive greatsword and tower shield or a nimble lightly armored fighter with a scimitar and buckler.' When asked 'What would you say is the biggest piece of design space that is currently unexplored' with champion creation, Meddler:'We went through a period where we avoided doing creatures much at all and that's something we're looking to remedy now, so less human/humanoid would be my answer on the visual side. Gameplay wise I think there's a lot of interesting stuff to be done with clickable objects (like Thresh's lantern) and we're playtesting a few things at the moment I'm hoping see release sometime this year (no promises, but fingers crossed).' .As for the amount of time it usually takes to start a new champion until release, Meddler:'8-10 months isn't unusual, depends how long we spend iterating on concept art, possible backstories, kit ideas etc though. Some champions also get put aside for a while (in some cases years) until we figure out exactly how we want to do them.' .When asked about the idea of ability costs that remove other stats ( such as lowering base AD after using an ability ), Meddler:'Abilities with costs that aren't just mana/CD/health is something we're certainly open to. Important thing is to ensure that the cost results in some real choice though, or serves a useful balance need that can't be met in other, less frustrating ways. If the correct play's always 'use this and then just suffer a bit' there's low value to a penalty. On the other hand if it's a case of 'think about when it's worth paying this price, the impact of which will change with the situation' then there'll be a lot of mastery in assessing when it's worth it and potentially a lot of gameplay value in such an ability.' . if we'll see another yordle in the future:'Very high. No promises that'll be soon though.' . Meddler also to a summoner asking if they would ever design a champion that doesn't really fit into the meta:'Definitely. Metas change, so designing for a limited period of time's not appropriate. What we instead want is champions that, whether they're currently really popular picks or not, are good additions to the game.Sometimes champs get picked up and played a lot immediately. Braum's a good example of that - he was released strong (and we're working on fixing that), but he's also a good fit with what's popular bot lane at the moment. Sometimes champs take a while to be picked up though. Zed's a good example of that sort of case, on release assassins weren't picked much and so he didn't really get picked up until the following season's itemization changes and meta shift. Both cases are fine with us - we're creating champions for the long term, not just today, and champions falling in and out of favor's expected.' . He also on the amount of new champions that are typically being worked on at the same time:'Usually about half a dozen in actual playtesting at any one time, though not all of those are guaranteed to ever get released. There'll then be a number of other champions in the really early stages, where they're often not much more than a series of sketches or some ideas for a kit on paper.' Champion - Design and Concepts. When asked 'What makes a champion? Salt and sanctuary mods. Kit or lore?' , Meddler they are equally important and shared an example of how Braum changed throughout his concepts originally development - he started out as a female Piltover engineer!' Gameplay, lore and art are the pillars of how we approach making a champion. The initial idea can be any of the above - someone's got an image they'd like to draw, a story they'd like to tell or an ability they'd like to play with. Working from that starting point we then explore what the rest of the champion might look like and what opportunities there are to offer something new. Braum for example started off as a female Piltover engineer, with a giant mechanical shield. We tested a kit for that initial idea in game and hit on some abilities we really liked (similar to Braum's current passive and E), the art and personality weren't coming together however. We consequently took another look at who such a kit could fit on and, after a fair bit of exploration of different possible personalities and origin factions hit on Braum.' As for the chances of ever seeing this female Piltover engineer return in some other form, he:'It's a possibility, though we'd want to do something other than a shield now of course. No firm plans, but it's a concept we have talked about occasionally since.' When asked if Alex Armstrong from the show Full Metal Alchemist was a direct reference for Braum, Meddler:'Armstrong's a good example of the archetype we wanted to tap into with Braum, and was one of around half a dozen reference points we had for the sort of character we wanted to make. He wasn't the initial inspiration though.' Speaking of Braum, Meddler also why they chose a Ram for Braum's shield:'We went for a ram with Braum since it was a great fit with the sort of character we wanted to convey - tough, at home on a mountain, headstrong, forceful but kinda fluffy etc.' When asked about the development process for Ziggs, Meddler:'I just started on a Ziggs dev blog the other day actually, which should give a bunch of details about how his development went. That's probably quite a way off though, we've got other dev blogs we'd like to get out first, so the short answer is that nailing down his initial personality and appearance was one of the hardest things for the team (Ziggs actually started off as a human in a bomb disposal suit for example, not a manic Yordle).' Meddler also a question concerning if they ever tried a different blast pattern for Vel'Koz's Q and how his ultimate was decided on:'Subninja, who did the gameplay design on Vel'koz, did try out a 45 degree split instead of a 90 degree one. Was generally both less useful and harder to land, so didn't show much promise.The ult was driven by a desire to make a real disintegration ray, something that gave the player the feeling of melting a target under a blowtorch if they could keep the flame on it.' As for what made the team decided to go with and if there were any other ideas they tossed around, Meddler:'We did look at Deep Sea and Jurassic as options, the visual mockup for the Battlecast skin however was a clear winner for the team though, in terms of personality fit and visual opportunities. When asked how they came up with the concept for Syndra, Meddler:'We'd been talking about doing a mage that used magic to manipulate objects for a while and also had some origin story ideas in a sort of Magneto like line. RiotZeronis then put some concept art together.' As for other ideas for Syndra's design during development, Meddler:'Tried a lot of different versions of sphere manipulation, some of which consumed the spheres on use. Also tried some other stuff that didn't work out at all, like a giant nova effect, slow moving extremely powerful skillshot (think a line of Veigar meteors) and an ultimate that let you throw enemy champions (suspect we'll go back to a variant on that for someone someday, Syndra wasn't the right fit for it though).' Meddler, explaining Jinx's concept absorbed her 'chain gun' bits from another champion that was being developed at the time:'We did have another concept that was competing for the same space as Jinx at one point, a heavy hextech chaingunner. There were some cool bits and pieces to the idea, it never really got off the ground though and if we were to revisit it we'd want to do something pretty different - Jinx does the chaingun space well.' Live BalanceWhen asked how the team approaches balance with new champions and if they would delay them if they were too strong in the meta, Meddler:'If we know a champ's overpowered for the current state of the game we'll reduce their power as appropriate. Generally that's just part of the balancing process. We have occasionally delayed a champion a few days or a week if we've found something right at the end of the testing phase though that's really concerning.' When asked if he still intends to update Lissandra's passive, Meddler:'Still planning to test out a defensive effect after CCing enemies, probably with a greater effect against ranged attacks than melee, given Lissandra struggles in some ranged match ups. Hoping to put some time into that after getting some Urgot tweaks out.' . As for item balance and how the team comes up with new items, Meddler:'Early on there's a lot of conceptual work - what's this item intended to do, who's it for, when should you want to buy it, when should you not want to buy it etc. Doom Bots MarvelAfter that there's a lot of in game testing and refinement - does this item actually do what it's intended to do, is it abusive under certain circumstances, do players appreciate its power, is it balanced etc.' Scrapped, Unused, or Future IdeasMeddler also a unique champion concept that Xypherous has played around with in the past:'Xypherous played around with a champion that could attach themselves to an ally, soaking damage for them and casting spells as the ally moved around. Doom Multiplayer BotsWould love to try that again sometime on a tank or support.' He:'Quote:That sounds pretty interesting. Best Adc ChampionsI don't think the champion would look humanoid, though. Maybe an insectoid?' Yeah, creature or shapeshifter seems likely. I believe (before my time at Riot) the original concept was for a swarm of insects for example. It's an idea we've tested a couple of times since but haven't found the right fit for.' As for a champion who has a permanent pet, Meddler:'Yeah, we'd like to explore a champion with a more permanent and significant pet at some point. Would definitely want engineering support to do that properly, the current system works well enough for straightforward pets like Tibbers but wouldn't support a pet that was around constantly, with a bigger skillset, well. Can't make any promises on timeframe though, besides not for a while at the very least.' When asked if we'll see more abilities that interact with projectiles like Yasuo's wind wall or Braum's shield, Meddler it is likely but not planned:'Spells that interact with other missiles in flight is something we'll likely visit again at some point, certainly. No plans to do so in the near to moderate future at least though, that's gameplay space we've tapped into enough for now. Would definitely see a variant on that sort of spell someday though that's all about a single, brief cast, rather than an extended effect in the world, would have noticeably different use cases.' As for vacuum ults ( an ability like Diana's E that sucks everyone in around her ), Meddler:'We've talked about vacuums a lot. They're extremely powerful however, in terms of how they amplify other abilities' effectiveness, to the degree that a champion with an accessible ranged vacuum is going to have to be balanced around their best case scenario to a degree that will leave them feeling pretty mediocre otherwise. As a result we've opted to limit vacuum like effects in other ways instead, whether that's with a melee requirement and short range (Diana's E) or movement compensation (Orianna's ult, which is as much a flip as a vacuum much of the time).' As for if Omen, an identity crisis of a creature champion that has long been confirmed cancelled, would ever be released, Meddler:'No plans to bring back Omen, though we do have some more creature ideas we're planning to give a shot that may offer something somewhat similar (appearance wise, not gameplay).Not sure on Gangplank sorry, let me follow up on that and get back to you though.' He:'We've got some concepts that hit on that sort of menace, and others that do playful that you might find interesting assuming they work out, nothing that quite hits on that exact combination at present though. Agree that's a cool space, impression I get is that Omen didn't deliver on that potential though.Gangplank wise we've got a direction we like and plan to follow at some point, as Gmang discussed a while back. He's not one of our main priorities at the moment though, so will be a way off still. Apologies that's pretty vague.' OtherWhen asked about his thoughts on the Community Beta, Meddler:'Liking the flexibility of these RE 'pick your own layout'. Bit dark for me though, going to pass on some thoughts to the folks working on them, find out if color scheme modification's something on their mind.' As for how the Sion rework ( which will be visual and gameplay ) is coming along, Meddler:'He is, it's coming along well, and it's a huge job (new champion basically, though with a lot of extra skins).' When asked if it was true that designers weren't allowed to visit the player creations forum ( where players share their fan art or kit designs for new champions ), Meddler:'Not to the best of my knowledge, I'm not aware of anyone on the champion design team that frequents them though. Good starting ideas aren't usually the issue we run into, it's how you refine, implement, iterate, balance etc that's the bigger challenge.' . When asked about the team's plans for Poppy, Meddler:'We'd like to do a gameplay rework and visual update for her, likely at the same time. No fixed timetable for that yet though.' Multiple questions in one answer! 'Quote:. When you guys release champions do you look in to the future and think of possible skins that could be released for the champ, you obviously need some sort of long term plan?. Alot of people seem to think that due to the SR VU we aren't going to see as many champions released over the next while. Obviously riot has more then one person working on different aspects of the game, Could you just clear up that this is just a rumour and is not true?. Another related to the new SR, With the new SR differences in colour and lighting will all new champions released have there look's made to blend with the new SR Because looking at it now some champs will not look as good on the new SR?' . We brainstorm a lot of possible skins in order to come up with a champion's launch skin. We don't create a rigid roadmap of what skins we'll do beyond that though, preferring instead to leave our options open until we're closer to starting work on that next skin. We have deliberately slowed down on new champion production, both in order to work on other things (gameplay updates/visual updates especially, SR VU as well though) and because we felt a slower release rate was better for the game overall. It's likely, though not guaranteed, you'll see slightly more champion releases over the second half of this year than the first half half however. Best Champions For Doom Bots Of DoomI believe we are creating new champs' appearances with the upgraded SR in mind, that's a better question for an artist though, apologies, outside of my expertise.Next champ is one we believe will be played primarily as a top laner.' 'QuoteHey Mister Meddling. Here are a few of my questions:. What's the general number for 'successful' champion pitches versus 'unsuccessful'? I'm not talking about ones that need refining or reworking, I'm talking about the ones who are 100% 'We don't think this will ever work in LoL'. From what someone told me, generally the Game Designers/Champion Designers usually have the most successful pitches. Is this the case or do you think it's an even spread all around Riot?. I heard a long time ago Wukong had an extremely different kit, as did Yasuo.
