Is there an emulator that plays well with Wild Rift? Arcane has given me the brainrot, but despite my best efforts, I can't stand PC. WR is enjoyable, but I don't like playing MOBAs on a phone.

"Kog’Maw hasn’t aged well at all. His kit’s kind of all over the place, torn between a hyper scaling ADC and an AP-focused artillery champ. He also feels out of place among his more sinister Void brethren, and while we love our cute Void puppy, we’d want to make him feel more... Void-y.

If we were to update Kog’Maw, we’d give him a full kit overhaul while amplifying his hyperscaling “protect the puppy” auto-focused playstyle. We’ll do our best to retain the artillery AP portion of his kit, but if push comes to shove, we’ll sacrifice it to make his AD face-melter part shine."

Riot posted:

Skarner is one of the least played champions, and honestly he needs a lot of work. We’d aim to fully reimagine his kit and theme, similar to older VGUs like Sion and Urgot. Like his Brackern kin, Skarner’s generic crystal scorpion fantasy is the relic of a bygone era, and we’d strive to give him a clearer, more exciting source of power. This would likely result in big changes to his visuals and story.

As for his kit, the fact that his playrate remains so low despite past reworks is indicative of deep-rooted issues we’d aim to address with a complete overhaul. While certain basic elements and ideas might remain the same, you can expect his new kit to deliver on new and exciting themes in ways his current kit simply cannot.

Would you say you’re very slightly mad?

More seriously everything they’ve said about Udyr is he’s going to remain the same stance changing character. They’re just changing the stances a bit and adding the ability to press the same stance twice for an enhanced effect.

It seems like they’re probably even keeping Bear Stance as charging stun thing, but it’ll be renamed Ram stance, and Tiger Stance is going to remain a 1v1 attack thing but renamed to Bear Stance, which is admitted a bit confusing, but they talked about the attack speed, and the single target dot. As they want to tie Udyr more into the Freljord gods like Anivia, Ornn and Volibear they realised the current animal stances could be modified to match said gods.

Of course they could screw it up, but they talked about Phoenix stance remaining aoe, and Iron Boar stance could easily be a defense thing like turtle stance.

I have been a cashier, and that comment evokes exactly the same emotion as telling a cashier "there's no tag so I guess it's free".

As for the context, I am definitely OK with visually reworking/reflavoring Udyr, so long as they don't gently caress up his deceptively simple mechanics.

For Kog'Maw, deleting his AP artillery would irritate me beyond belief, for all that I use him as a straight AD.

I think the big fuckup, as they’re clearly dedicated to the stance shifting so not likely to get rid of that particular skill set for playing Udyr, is how they handle the power of the normal stance vs the awakened second press. As that is a legit difference in skill expression.

Other than that. They’re clearly still doing dps, cc, tank, aoe stances, they might shift some of the damage sourcing around so that AP isn’t solely for Phoenix aoe and ad isn’t solely for tiger bleed damage.

I suppose completely retheming him but letting Spirit Guard keep the old theme is basically the only way to avoid the 'Spirit Guard is Better Udyr' problem.

It also fits with Spirit Guard being specifically Udyr trained in Ionia. Whilst his base skin is him as a Freljordian Shaman.

Plus they might make Definitely Not Udyr have some fun chromas that use all the different sets of animals the other skins have.
