Not all champs need a rework, some champs just need a visual update....

Remember when they updated the old twitch model? That's what I'm talking about. A lot of champs kits are perfectly fine, but their base models are horrible.

Example

KogMaw Anivia DrMundo Corki Galio Kassadin Malphite Nunu Olaf Pantheon Shaco

Mordekaiser Have you seen the size of his feet? Jax walking eggplant! Urgot He really needs some help in every category.

These champs could really use a full visual update. The don't really need a rework, just an visual update. It's also in riot best interest to make the game look polished because looking at this Urgot as a potential new player might just make you walk the other way.

You forgot Udyr

The only reason people forget about his ugly ass classic skin is because any udyr player who has an ounce of shame buys spirit guard. Spirit guard is so popular on udyr that it has basically become his classic skin.

I think they should do this, give him the spirit guard udyr as classic skin and replace the skin itself or refund all buyers. Would be cool (and the only way to save udyr's visual).

Refunds and Riot don't go together in a sentence.

Uhh...Mundo definitely needs a rework. In fact some champions you've mentioned are not fine kit wise.

Mordekaiser is obvious. Mundo's only niche is regeneration and ends up breaking good tank stuff because it makes him unkillable and allow him to hit hard. Pantheon is a very simple and very oppressive lane bully who can't do much late beyond being a stun bot. Galio is getting a rework because his kit doesn't really flow naturally. Etc.

Besides, visual updates are just extra work for champions that have glaring issues that will have to be addressed eventually. It's more productive to just give full VU in heavy gameplay reworks.

Mundo is a mad scientist who doped himself to be buff but for some reason has fireballs...how does that fit in thematically? Yeah I agree he needs some kind of update, but he isn't a high priority to be honest. If Riot went along changing everything that needed to be fixed then we would have attention removed from bigger issues and new content.

Actually, I for one wouldn't mind if they just quit adding new champs for a while and put their whole champ design team on reworks. The roster is growing too fast for the game to actually ever be balanced to any reasonable extent.

I still think Galios kit is fun and unique, I do agree about panth though I win a lot of lane matchups because he is just broke.

yeh, i like galios kit, allthough i do with it flew together a bit smoother

Her walking animation makes me think she's got spider legs or something.

Riot has said that their purely visual updates were much less well received than their full VGUs, so they will only be doing the whole package from now on.

They did say this and it's still stupid.

For example, according to Orianna's new lore she doesn't have a key in her back anymore. So, ostensibly, the key should go. Riot could give her a few touchups while they're at it.

Too bad Galio is already one of the next ones to be released with new visuals and gameplay (after Warwick ).

Kayle VU please.

ModKnightsKemplar2 votes

Ok, don't include Mordekaiser on this list. Many people think he still needs substantial work.

While I'm at it, Galio Kassadin at least, with the potential for several more on that list.

Kennen you have no idea how hard it was for me to play kennen with the classic model holy shit it looks so bad.

Muddafragot2 votes

KogMaw doesn't need a visual update, he's cute! Urgot doesn't need it (but with how long his rework is gonna take I can only assume he'll get it) cuz he's meant to be a malformed Frankenstein's monster.

Kennen : He just looks clunky

MunchCrunchLunch2 votes

most of these champions need an actual rework a full vgu.

league would BE SO MUCH BETTER. if VGUS were frequent. if old outdated champs were updated so often.

Mirkhail2 votes

Why wasting resources on a VU when you can do a full VGU of a champion? VU are nice but time consuming and don't make much "profit".

PopePancake2 votes

Veigar Does need a VU, and im not quite understanding why people are downvoting the comments. (especially not even giving a reason as to why)

Morgana Kayle These two as well! They're like miniatures. Skinny, Anorexic, Stick figures. It bothers me so much! Unless that's how they're supposed to look. I'm sure it's just because they're older champions compared to the new however. My Miss Fortune shouldn't look like an Amazonian Queen next to them. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Lintu Puck2 votes

I think part of the problem is the wings. >.> they crowd a good portion of the model

MaskedHeroman1 votes

I don't want Galio to get any new kit he is legit perfect as is, and please give Jax some love Rito hes the champ afterall.

He4rtkiller1 votes

Kassadin This dude actually already got a visual update with or without some gameplay changes, not sure. Galio is being worked on right now. They are doing full VGU on him. He will be done after Warwick . Some of those champs are in need on full VGU like Urgot . Others would benefit from a visual update only but Riot stated that they are doing only full VGUs for now. Once they are done with all champs that are in need of full VGU they will start doing smaller scope updates. Witch is kindda ok but then again that means that some of these old champs that look really outdated will have to wait for years before getting the looks they deserve. Anivia

A bunch of the champions you listed also have really big design issues with their kits. Mundo, Galio, Nunu, and Pantheon especially.

I'm not gonna lie, I'd play a lot more of Shaco if he got a visual update. (I still don't really like the clown thing, I'm more of a fan of predators/hunters/monsters like Elise, Kha'zix, Kindred myself, but I'd take it.)
