The buff that never launched

Most likely Red Guardian, who’s got a ton of potential but needs a tune up.

BPCW is the other buff that was promised and that they’re “taking their time to make sure it’s done right” …meanwhile, it’s been years 🥴

It’s been a year and a half… can we have that buff announced/go live yet?

Considering that nothing has changed with the “real world events” that caused them to cancel it in the first place. I’d assume they have no plans announce the buff or make it go live. The war with Ukraine and Russia is still going on.

BPCW
Who's the champion?
Most likely
Completely unsure if this is sarcasm or not. If it’s not, that’s 100% not the champion because it’s someone linked to Russia.

I didnt read the full screenshot

despite being circled

Sh*tty real world events will always exist..and they’re growing in number and locations. Gaming, to me, is supposed to be a break from it. If not, won’t be long before we can only safely have cosmics n mythical beings as new champs.

Hey there,

We have no plans to release this update for that Champion at this time. It was built with certain AW Buffs and Nodes in mind, but that content was also never released, so the Buff isn't much of anything at the moment.

I wouldn't expect to ever see this particular buff released.

Can we know the champion name now please, atleast to douse all our curiosity. 😊

Thank u for the communication on this!

If it was Red Guardian, let me say this though… he was initially designed as a perfect counter to the original 7.1 beta. He was almost a must have. Then the vision for Act 7 changed. Your update just told us that the next plan was War based, and now that content plan changed as well, leaving the buff in the lurch. It’s cool that plans changed, but I do hope a some sort of buff happens because he’s got a really good potential kit, just needs tweaking. A lot of work into that champ for him to just be sitting, collecting dust on most people’s bench right now.

If it wasn’t Red Guardian, nevermind everything I just said lol.

I believe it was BPCW because he was talked about as getting a buff and nothing ever happened.

Different buff that was discussed… but yea, we’re STILL hoping, n wishing, n praying, for that one…

I think the capital "C" in "Champion" is telling in this situation.

So this possibly can be Red Guardian, Rhino, Kraven, or Black Widow (cuz she is the Russian aswell).

What the hell even is this? Did they really hold up IN GAME STUFF because of REAL WORLD EVENTS?! Wth

Wait till you realize they hold events and themes based on real life events too

Akki_94

What about black panther civil war buff ? Any info on him would be good

Yes, because the in-game stuff is made by developers that live in the real world, and is created for human players who also live in the real world.

I wonder why would they hype something that never happened. Maybe they still have a regret and opened up on it. I do wonder what the world would have been had we got the buff. How that champ was related to March 2022 remains a mystery.

Obviously Mr eagle has never paid attention to these forum boards during the month of June. Suddenly they get very vocal about real life influencing the game.
