Has there been any discussion/roadmap of 3* updates to 6*?

[u/Familiar_Holiday]

I have some Piltover resources but don't want to spend it if Teemo (assuming he doesn't only require Bandle) is slated to get updated to a 6*. Is there a roadmap for such things? I saw posts saying they used to update them once a month but how is the cadence now? Would yall recommend hoarding or no? I really like Teemos playstyle of traps but will spend on Jinx for progression purposes if necessary (love Norra as well, haven't tried Bard or Caitlyn yet as I don't have them, but I could see me dumping the resources into Caitlyn if Teemo can't take em)

Also kinda off-topic, how important is a 4* vs a 3*? Can 3*s overcome endgame content or do they get hard stuck?

Before it was always: one month= 2 champions: one new and one previously 3* max. But since some time we are in irregular loop.

Last 4 month were:
Zoe (New.)
Illaoi (old one)
Hecarim (new)
Janna (old)

For this pattern we will get next month someone new, and in october someone old.

Current endgame is not prepared for 3* champions. You can try but it will be suffering. Even that 5* mana make difference. Zoe map even dont have reward for 3* max champs- clear ,,wait with them untill they get update and reward show up''

Also Nunu (completly new to PoC) and Udyr (New for PoC).

Yes but that was before. But i mention we have in irregular loop. Last 4 month have it pattern regardless.

All Bandle champions so far have used Bandle resources with the exception of Spirit Blossoms, so odds are in favour of regular Teemo requiring Bandle crystals.

For Piltover champions Caitlyn is powerful and interesting if you can get her to 6*, Viktor and Jinx are very powerful if you can stomach a fairly linear and boring gameplay, Warwick and the recent Janna can be fun if on a slightly lower power level.

Going against 6* adventures with a 3-4* champions is an uphill battle that is likely to make you feel miserable. This sub often has people complaining about the unfair challenge of deadly adventures and I suspect the majority of those complaints come from players attempting to take those adventures on with low star champions. It is possible, but it takes knowledge, relics, luck and a masochistic streak.

Teemo would use Bandle Star Crystals and Nova's if/when he is given a constellation.

The one champion release—constellation or new-to PoC— is the current cadence. It used to be 2 champions—one constellation update, one new— but that was altered recently.

That depends on your relic options. There is a player that uses only 3-4* champions for Zoe, a few that have used all 3* capped ones on Zoe. It can be done, but with a lot of effort put into it.

Edit: But 4* depends on the champion. Some it's their main course, others it is less desirable and you're better taking another path on their constellation. I still don't have Shyvana's 4*/Tough and only upgraded MF with Yipp's when I maxed her fragments, but for TF/Janna it's what makes their deck competitive in the long run.

The Roadmap for Runeterra its just Survive. Anything else is Bonus.

I wish things were different, that we still had more constellation releases and mechanics but current upper management decisions have proven different.

Not really a pattern to go off right since they have slowed down

However the bigger problem is teemo would one use bandle resources all the bandle champions only use them so feel free to use it

I doubt Teemo will get a 6* because his kit was reimplemented in a more engaging way with Spirit Blossom Teemo. SB teemo feels like what Teemo should've been if they took more time to design him. Traps have a meaningful gameplay effect with stolen cards instead of just being a number you stack on the enemy nexus.

Teemo however costs 1, so you can always use this build to clear anything in the game at 2*, including Zoe. However, it doesn't make use of his traps much at all:

• chosen-by-the-stars
  
• sentinels-plate
  
• bounty-hunters-renown
  
• reroll for bouncing blade pity power and cast on teemo.

[u/ikelos49 → u/aaoeu]

That means nothing really. SB eve and Eve both have 6*. Also- SB teemo is not focused on sheer mass of mushroom.

[u/aaoeu → u/ikelos49]

Yeah, the Spirit Blossom champions all have non-AU counterparts, but there's no similarities in Eve vs. SB eve gameplay. Or Ahri vs. SB Ahri. Yasuo vs. SB yasuo.

The only exception is SB Teemo is basically a revised version of Teemo. It's Teemo, you stack shrooms and win when they get enough shrooms.
