I'd love a new young avengers book, but I don't really want any of the originals, save maybe kate and MAYBE stature. We have so many new characters that id love to see in a team dynamic.

Not at all. The Champions were created out of the need to be disassociated from the Avengers legacy. I mean, the first promotional image for Champions had Sam, Miles and Kamala BURNING their Avengers IDs. The Young Avengers were all about honoring and being a part of that legacy. They fought hard to be accepted by the adults and recognized as Avengers, even when everyone was telling them they couldn't.
Which is fine by me. It's about time we got another Runaways volume anyway!
I personally don't see the need for the Young Avengers to ''graduate''. It's not like they're called TEEN Avengers or anything like that. A group of late teens/early adults can absolutely call themselves Young Avengers and not be weird at all. I think the reason why we associate YA being ''lesser'' it's because Marvel hasn't bothered to promote the team as an actual Avengers team. I mean, Steve Rogers officially declared them Avengers at the end of Children's Crusade, but we haven't really seen that ever since. We had Gillen's amazing run, of course, but it was a more independent, self-contained story that didn't involve much of the Avengers legacy. And then after that Marvel just sort of gave up on them as team, when they should've been putting them on events, they should've been making them crossover with other Avengers teams and have prominence on other stories, they should've been having the Young Avengers title acknowledged in the MU as a respected team and not just the kiddie Avengers. Marvel's lack of vision for the Young Avengers after Heinberg left is much more to blame than the fact that they have ''Young'' on the title, IMO. They could still be the Young Avengers and have a bigger role, but we need editorial to actually push that to happen. If not, then it doesn't really matter if they're called Young or New Avengers, they're still going to be treated the same.
Gosh, I'll be SO disappointed if this storyline gets dropped and never brought up again. If Marvel is dumb enough to not explore that on a cosmic book/event, then yeah, I'll totally support the story being fleshed out on a YA book, since it's the one title Teddy is almost guaranteed to get a bigger part on.

Well, I personally don't care about how the team will be called. I just wish the Young Avengers will reunite in a team book.
Anyway, if they are going to do this. I hope they will take a issue or two for the recruitment, like Billy and Teddy have the idea of reforming YA again and they went on a journey to meet their old friends, and the team expand in the process, also they can take in some new memebers.
With that roster, no. Wasp, IronHeart and etc can all go to Champions instead. The original YA are still pretty young. Of course they could add a new member or two, but keep Wiccan and Teddy at least(and Kate and MAC, but at least they have their own books and America Ultimates).
I would like a new YA volume, but with the original characters. Introduce a new one, sure, that worked out fine in the last run. But the core should be the same. Billy, Teddy and Kate at bare minimum. I don't like the Young Avengers for the concept of a teenage group of Avengers, I like it because of the characters and their dynamic. So even if they call it something else, what I really want is just for a reunion of that group of characters.
A mirror version like the one I suggested would seem a no brainer for at least a one shot during the upcoming Generations thing.
Perhaps after the Royals nonsense ends, Noh Varr can join Teddy's Knights of the Infinite on a cosmic soap opera of biblical proportions, unifying the remaining Kree/Skrull empires with Billy and company in tow.
IF there were every going to be an "end game", the only one I would really be satisfied with is having Teddy and Billy live happily ever after as royals in space.

We need better comics
Ilias Kyriazis project roof top Avengers, some changes added since characters current stories.
I think the Original YA should come back, and I'd like to see the Champions become the New Warriors and be mentored by Night Thrasher and Rage.
