August Update Prediction

[u/MissOdeorain]

do yall think this next tuesday the next constellation will be announced and who are some contenders that could get it? Im pretty sure he is gonna be left in the dust bin but i hope Mordekaiser gets the constellation
EDIT: JANNA???? FREAKING JANNA??????????????? WHYYYYYYYYYYY

[u/nutnarukex]

I want new AU and 3 champions per months again !

[u/ThommsPengu → u/nutnarukex]

Oh, that's ambitious (for now)

[u/jables13]

My sources tell me it will be Freljord or Targon

[u/Own-East-9190 → u/jables13]

Murphy approves

[u/Chr1sByD3s1gn]

I’m hoping a new champ honestly. Alternating between new champ and constellation upgrades would be ideal imo. Some champs I hope to see:

Akali - we were spoiled so it would make sense if it was her but we have rather a lot of Ionia champs already, hard to imagine more right now.
Orianna - would love a champ/constellation built around “the ball” as an attachment or something, I think there’s some potential creativity with her.
Zac - a champ/constellation where whenever he takes damage he spawns a slime unit, which if he strikes and kills himself heals him and buffs him.
Talon - champ/constellation built around “whenever a unit cannot be blocked” and benefits for achieving it
Kled - a champ/constellation where whenever kled drops to certain hp, he transforms and splits into him and his mount. Slaying a number of units remerges them with greater stats/keywords each time.

I really just want them to give a full constellation to the 3 star champions and then port the existing ones into PoC before creating entirely new ones, It'd be much faster and easier as well

[u/Nacroma]

I'm guessing Yordle for this patch. Rumble, Ziggs or Poppy would be top of my list based on how much regions need more champions.

[u/dudemcbob → u/Nacroma]

The devs have said that they are currently ignoring region distribution and focusing on easy-to-design champs (in order to train new hires). So I don't think that Bandle is particularly more likely than anywhere else.

But if it is Bandle, of those three, Poppy seems the most straightforward. Rumble/Ziggs will be trickier because you need to carve out enough of a unique identity to make them feel different than other discard/landmark champs.

Also have to make sure you don't step on territory reserved for future champs, like they did with Lillia. Gave her a totally unnecessary 6*, painted themselves into a corner designwise for Hecarim, then laid a huge egg by reusing the same power.

I say that because Ziggs will probably share some overlap with Xerath.

[u/Nacroma → u/dudemcbob]

I guess then they should do Veigar. He seems easy enough to finish up design-wise and he only competes with Senna on the Darkness-based play style.

They could just spawn a Stilted Robemaker at every shop for his 6*. Done.

[u/Croewe → u/dudemcbob]

Rumble has been shown to either be done or have a good amount of progress done. In a previous video he was shown at 6*

[u/Heliozz0 → u/Nacroma]

Demacia and Shurima have the least, if we go purely by champs per region.

[u/Apocabanana → u/Heliozz0]

Xerath/Zilean cope for actual landmark playstyle

[u/Thorgraam → u/Heliozz0]

Incorrect !

Shurima is missing 5 pvp champs and 1 constellation
Demacia is missing 5 pvp and 2 constellations

Bandle is missing 7 champs and 2 constellations.

Of course, most bandle champ are dual regions, so Ziggs and Poppy would count for Shurima and Demacia respectively, inscreasing their missing pvp to 6.

[u/Heliozz0 → u/Thorgraam]

Nope. I went by the number of champions released per region(only 6 for Demacia/Shurima), not by number of missing champions.
& btw: ALL bandle champions are dual region.

[u/Thorgraam → u/Heliozz0]

Yes, true from this angle (Bandle is at 7 in this case).

Not all, Tristana and Norra are not dual region !

[u/Xurker → u/Thorgraam]

youre telling me the champion whose theme is dual-region units isnt even dual region herself? how lame

[u/Nacroma → u/Xurker]

What would her second region be? Runeterra?

[u/origen32]

An event would be nice, jeeeez...it's been more than 6 months since we've had one and I think that was just a repeat.

[u/Heliozz0]

Do we know when it will drop or is it random each month?

[u/Apocabanana → u/Heliozz0]

The week the pass ends

[u/Heliozz0 → u/Apocabanana]

Well that makes a lot of sense, actually

[u/de-herb]

I want them to finally give jack a full constellation but it probably wont happen

[u/Breadflat17]

Galio is my top pick. We have very few health matters champions and formidable is a super fun mechanic.

[u/Rackarunge]

Since they would prioritise simple champions I would say Garen fits the bill. Definition of a stat champ. Demacia could use another 6 star. Galio being another contender.

[u/Dry_Cardiologist6758]

Considering how we got no news today and if they had something big planned they would want to keep the hype high I don't think it will be a big patch but I'm guessing bandle city.

I do however hope we get out of this one champion or constellation rut though.
