Off topic but does anyone know when we get the next champion roadmap?

Instead of a regular champion roadmap we're planning on doing some detailed dives into how progress on Fiddle and Voli is looking as a followup to the recent VGU voting. Should expect a couple of those, one pretty soon, one later in the year. At a guess next regular roadmap's then around end of 2019/start of 2020 as a result.

9.15 - 9.18 - Smaller patches, focused on stability and lower scope balance work. We'll be looking to avoid things with big systemic impacts here in particular (e.g. reworking items, changing strength of different positions significantly relative to each other, changes to objectives etc).

B... But Pantheon?

This is all from the perspective of balance/widespread meta impacting work. New content like skins, champs etc will continue to release as usual.

Not taking a stance on when Panth's coming out either way but:

"This is all from the perspective of balance/widespread meta impacting work. New content like skins, champs etc will continue to release as usual."

Reference there to smaller patches is balance wise, not new content.

Is Pantheon going to be sooner or later ?

Yes

What about news on Pantheon?

Still the next VGU to be released, can't say more.

/u/Reav3 get in here

I said it would be sometimes after the new marksmen, not sure how long after since we kind of already announced the next 2 VGUs as Fiddle and Volibear. I do however have a devblog update on Fiddle and Volibear coming out either later this month or early August, still figuring out timing. We will have updates on Voli/Fiddle every 2-3 months until they release
