The Revamp Problem

2 new Champions every month but 6+months to Revamp 1 Champion? Any reason why this is?

There are a great number of champions that need a Revamp, but the rate at which they are getting buffed doesn't seem so promising.

    You know they start designing the new champs more than a month before they are released right?
    Each new champ probably takes 6+ months to be designed

    It should not take 6+months to take an amateur low tier Champion and then update them with a better design. Especially when there's a whole forum post on revamping champions

    This has been explained in detail in prior posts. They have to decide what they want in the champ, design the champ, design animations, program the champ, check and see how it interacts in all game modes, figure out synergies, see how synergies interact, test the champ, among a few dozen other things. It takes time. U can't just have it happen overnight. All these steps are done in different departments so ppl have to wait for 1 part to be finished before they can send it to another department to do the next steps.
    I see your point, however would you not agree that there are a vast number of champions that need a Revamp? And that the over 6 months time period means that years can go by before Original Champions like Spider-man and Wolverine, get a Revamp?

    Whether you like it or not, 6 months is a minimum. Would you want them to rush the process and release a reworked champ that was just as ineffective as before?
