Visual Updates?

Just as a general question, there's still a lot of champions that seem out dated compared to the rest. I know riot often has a lot of things in the works without much announcements, but I was wondering who exactly is in line for visual and splash art updates? Aside from the obvious upcoming visual Updates that will be tied with a gameplay update, what about champions who work fine gameplay wise but are still visually outdated in their skins and such? I wanted to know if there's a definite list that could say what to expect in the future for updates.

From what we know so far, Riot is only going to be doing VGUs rather then VUs. So even if champions have fine kits they won't be looking at them for a Visual change right now unfortunately as they said it's more with their resources to put in the gameplay and visual changes at the same time.

Splash arts though, Karma is one that will be receiving new splashes any time now as she was next on the list for those who had already received visual/gameplay changes.

Overall Riot decided to only do visual updates together with gameplay updates. The reason is that pretty much every champ who needs a visual update could also use a gameplay update,even if it would be just a minor one.

Riot has 2 VGU-teams who are constantly working on VGUs. One team did Poppy Yorick and is now working on Galio who is confirmed to be released before the next champion(so I'd say febuary is quite likely for him) The other team did Taric Ryze and Warwick (whose update will be released next week) and some sources say that their next project is Urgot

Other champs who are on the VGU-list are: Akali Amumu Chogath Corki DrMundo Evelynn Fiddlesticks Irelia Mordekaiser Nocturne Nunu Pantheon Rammus Shaco Swain Teemo Tryndamere Volibear And Kayle will get a dual update together with Morgana ,though it was said that Morgana is mostly fine in terms of gameplay,so she'll likely receive not that many changes to her kit.
