@GrumpyMonkey: pizza feet ,sqid hair, and other delicacies.

I was pretty pleased with the recent Pantheon skin, and the improved "proportions" of the Artisan of War.

Especially, one of the best thing that makes the skin special is how the feet are now , well, actually feet, and not two huge pizza-slice-shaped-stompers bigger than his chest.
Just look at the big toe in classic pantheon, that is half his hand.

So, my Question:
With the release of new, improved skins, can't you use the new sculpt to update older skins?

Another example would be Olaf and Irelia squid hair. The bangs on hair on the back of their heads look like tentacles, but, hair on Pentakill Olaf skin are nice and well-shaped. How hard would it be to implement the same hair-sculpt on classic olaf?

I could make other examples, but I think It's clear enough.
A texture update and slight sculpt fix would go a long way for champions like Olaf who aren't that bad (visually speaking, of course), but have just a few areas where they look really outdated (Pantheon's feet, Irelia and Olaf's hair).

By the way , I'm hungry now :S

I've actually had a legitimate concern regarding this for a long time noww.

My fear is that those champions receiving new skins that have very outdated base models may not ever get a VU (or at least, it will be a very long way off) and riot are using the new skin as a way to get pople to buy in to making the champion itself look better quality, rather than just stand out (examples: SGR, SGU, DSP) All of these have received new skins on new rigs when the community has been asking for VU's for these champions for a long, long time
