With the incoming Shurima patch, will Cassiopeia be getting some changes as well.

Will she be getting a VU like Renekton just did. Currently, all the champions that are involved in the Shurima lore have gotten some sort of visual update. (I created this list based on the changes on the pbe, because i know there are some champions out there (like zilean) who are related to the desert, but may not be apart of the lore in this event. These champions however, based on their new voice lines and etc., seem to be involved)

Renekton and Cassiopeia were the ones who were still left to have updated models in this group, and now Renekton has gotten his. I am going to assume that there will be some sort of visual or texture update for Cassiopeia in the following weeks, and with these changes, there are some things that should be addressed for Cassiopeia.

As a person who used to play Cassiopeia a lot, there is literally only one change she needs in order to become much more reliable and less frustrating to play as, as well as quite possibly fotm, (hopefully not)

FIX HER GOD DAMN ULTIMATE!

Cassiopeia's ultimate is not cast from the centre of her model. It is cast from her model's face. While this makes complete sense when referencing this to her lore, the way her model positions her head when you use your ultimate results in creating a significant space between her centre and the beginning of her ultimate cone.

This is absolutely unacceptable, as it butchers her only reliable spell vs the league of mobility fighters. Click and point gap closes are absolutely horrible for her because if you do not cast your ultimate while they are mid jump, or want to save it for a little bit, you will be unable hit them with your ultimate any more since they will be in the blind spot of your ultimate. Compared to other cone spell's in the game, Cassiopeia's is inconsistent, since most of their`s start for the centre, as well as riot recently making alot of changes to skill shots where they start from the centre of the target for Qol. Another case is Gnar getting a change so that he can throw his boulder more reliably at short ranges

This would be a really easy change that could result in a nerf to her ultimate range, but like all other spells in the game that have been changed to start at the centre, the range was increased to compensate, so it would result in a neutral change (in terms of range). But the added reliability would make a tremendous difference for her and her player base, and it would be awesome if this change got implemented.
