Vi, the Piltover Enforcer coming to PBE!

Posted on at 9:55 PM by Moobeat
Looks like our next champion, Vi, the Piltover Enforcer, is on the way to the PBE! Here is gypsylord introducing the champion and putting up a feedback thread for once it becomes available.
"Greetings PBE Summoners,
I am happy to announce that our final champion of the year is now (or soon will be) available for testing on the PBE.

Allow me to introduce Vi, the Piltover Enforcer. Imagine two giant hextech gauntlets. Now imagine a total badass who loves using those gauntlets to hit things. Hard. That's Vi in a nutshell.

Have you ever wished you could punch an enemy with such an impact that you hit the enemies behind it? If your answer is yes, you may enjoy playing Vi.

Have you ever had the desire to wind up a punch powerful enough to carry you across the battlefield, clocking anyone unlucky enough to get in your way? If your answer is yes, you may enjoy playing Vi.

Have you ever wanted to indiscriminately bowl through an enemy team, wiping the smirk off that AD carry's face as you slam it into the ground? If your answer is yes, well, you get the idea.

Vi is all about powerful punches. She's a high mobility high damage bruiser who picks a target, launches herself into the fray, and makes that target deal with her. So what are you waiting for? Go try her out. I'd love to hear your feedback. Best of luck on the Fields of Justice!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have three major things I'm looking for feedback on:

A) Is Vi fun to play against and play as?
- Is this a champion you enjoy playing? Is this a champion that you are okay having on the opposing team? Do you feel there are ample opportunities for counterplay? What aspects of her are frustrating? What aspects are really cool?

B) Does Vi feel right when you play her?
-Are her punches too sluggish? Too fast? What are you building? Does it feel good on her? Should it feel good on her? Are you hitting skills when you expect to hit them? Do her animations and particles look right? How are her sounds? Is she too loud? Too quiet? etc.

C) Is Vi someone you feel is worth bringing to a team?
Assuming she eventually hits a "balanced" state, when you see someone on your team pick her are you going to feel good about it? Why or why not?

If you have any feedback that doesn't fall under one of the above topics I'd still love to hear it.

If you find a bug don't post it here!
There's another thread for that: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/....php?t=2874659"

    I hope she's as big as Gragas. If she looks like the average League of Legends girl, her concept is going to be a bit awkward I think...

    If she ends up really being a grappler I will be upset. I talked with Morello during the release of Zyra about a grappler concept and he said they would like the idea, but it would be too complicated.

    This seems like Izzabelle's Quinn champion she proposed like a month ago in the forums (/board/showthread.php?t=2768187), really awesome they used her design, but i don't know if they're going to credit the idea or not :\

    She will most likely be a relative to Jayce or Caitlyn. Although they seem related anyways.

    She might also be the "A female champion who is "strong, non-sexualized, and heroic", initially designed to be made by IronStylus."

    In my opinion, Rengar and Diana are the two worst champions Riot has created, they are not fun to play against at all. That is MY opinion, to each their own. I just hope Vi isn't the next gap closing thing to haunt the battlefield.
    Tell me about your... ruthless nemesis !

    A serious problem I'm sure. But for some reason, I'm more concerned with Mundo's incorrect spelling of "too". You'll never run a big corporation that way!
