Hello Summoners, today I'm going to talk a little about the visual upgrade and who are on the list to get a visual upgrade. for people who don't what is a visual upgrade its a scale of rework covers changes to a champion's model and artwork. This will often include a more up-to-date voice-over and lore, and may include bug-fixes and minor balance changes - but will not change the champion's core theme. now I'm going to tell who are the next champions who will get a visual upgrade; Alistar, Chogath, Evelynn, Karthus, Kassadin, Nunu, Ryze, Singed & Taric...the models that are already finished is Karthus & Ryze...so yeah i hope u guys have a nice day and we all shall be expecting these visual upgrade, keep up the good work riot.

Karthus is indeed done, but no work has been done on Ryze. I'm not sure where you got that idea.

Your list is all over the places. Some of them are things we really want to do soon, some are way farther out, and some of the biggest ones we're working on (like Sion and Warwick) are missing completely.

Basically, the only thing we can 100% commit to at the moment is that you'll see a Karthus VU soonish [tm].

Umm Karthus is soonish but the model still seems to not be done. It looked vey WIP. I'm guessing you got your info from red posts but forgot that most of what they say is tentative, and for good reason (TO NOT UNINTENTIONALLY GET ANYBODY'S HOPES UP). They don't mention anything as solid stone fact for that reason. You might've misunderstood some red posts.

No Miss Fortune or Sion?

But those two are so outdated...

And didn't Evelyn get something new from her rework? It seems a little early for her imo.

Ok... 1st of all WHERE IS SION ON THIS. Seirously Sion is really old of a champion model. http://www.lolking.net/models/?champion=14&skin=0 that is a model of sion at the moment IN GAME. Not is only that bad graphics compared to Leagues standards but there is another factor that barely ANYONE notices... http://wallpapers.brothersoft.com/league-of-legends-sion-111571-1152x864.html this is his splash art. Notice the axe? I swear Riot, I love ya but... seriously... it's just so baisic yet so sad to see this mess up. Ok so if noone could see that what the problem was and still is... it's the fact that his axe has 1 blade in his spash art and 2 blades in his in game model. Please Riot, you reworked Malphite and now he is EVERYWHERE... Sion is never seen anymore and i feel if you guys tinker a bit with his model and/or spash art he will be loved in the same fashion as Malphite is. Thanks for reading! ~Bomber

Just one question, will sion be done this year, and if so what month will he be most likely released.

Really Taric, Sion, and Singed need the most work.
