Look up some gameplay for other mobas like smite or something, the models and graphics look great. But why are the models in league so ugly? Have you guys looked at vladimirs and udyrs models for example? Also the new mobile league game wild rift has better models then the fuckin pc version bruh.

The camera is a lot further away from the characters in LoL, compared to games like Smite. You simply don't need high quality models if you can barely see the details. Additionally, a lot of models are old, made in a time when Riot released a champion every other week without the necessary experience and art direction to create high quality models in such a short time.

The mobile game had to be created from the ground up, and as such created an opportunity for artists to redo all the old models. However, Wild Rift has multiple models for every champion and it's important not to assume they're the same. Low resolution models are made for in-game usage when your smartphone has to render a lot of stuff and the camera is far away from the model. High quality models are made for out of game usage when there's only a single character on screen, for example when previewing skins.
It’s cause Riot is mainly a company who wants to make money. So they (have to) get lazy about things which doesn’t generate quick money. E-Sport does it seems since it’s an ad for them to get more attention, aswell as other things. Sad, I know. We had to wait years till they updated SR their primary map. And even in 10 years (which is much in the gaming industry) they could not updated all champs. It’s ridiculous I know.
The moba version isn’t that better looking btw just the intros of each champ. (Which would be neat to have for current League) well lets just hope they Double their speed, passion and energy that we have at least all old champs updated visually till 2025. With maybe one new map and more customisations. This should be currently more important than other games of their universe
DerMangoJoghurt nailed it except the "wild rift" part, the models you and likely everyonelse witht he misconception are refering to are the showcase models.
Those were made to show off the champion without use of the splash arts.
In game they look extremely similar to League or even worse in some cases.

none of those other moba's are as popular as league so clearly they missed the trick on making their character models able to be rendered on any old 20 year pc.
