Something the video is really underselling is the movement speed.** It stacks up to 5 times and is granted on every ability hit.** Her game is about keeping the movement speed stacked up and using it to play a hit and run style or roam around the map.

Pretty fast. Not rammus fast, but she can keep it up for longer by hitting jungle camps.

Current numbers (obviously subject to change): Each stack grants 7-11% (based on Q rank) movement speed for 5 seconds, stacking up to 5 times. Stacks fall off 1 at a time, at a rate of 1/second.

Boss hope you're well.

Just wanted to ask if you guys landed on some sort of cadence when it comes to releasing simple vs. complex champions. Or is it by a case to case basis.

Cheers :D

We don't have a specific cadence, but out current strategy is that we intentionally ship some amount of simple Champs every year now

Is any champion this year intended to be niche or take more risks design-wise? Is the team looking into making a new Bard? It feels like despite the 6 champions per year announcement, they're all going to be focused on mass appeal.

Lillia was targeted as the Niche Champion this year. Generally non-humans end up fairly niche. The whimsical/cutsey stuff tends to also be niche, but it does have a pretty strong niche audience, one that we didn't feel existed in the Jungler role. One of the goals of Lillia was to add that type of elegant/pretty/cute theme to the jungle roster, since it doesn't currently really exist.

would be able to state which side of the pendulum a year worth of champion releases side on (complex vs. simple)? Is there a medium level as well to champion difficulty? or is it just extremes?

Cheers

We do have medium, we have high, medium and low complexity. Our current goal is to have at least one of each, each year, but after that its pretty case by case

You need an angle on it. She can't get it into the pit from anywhere, its blocked by terrain.
