LeBlanc Visual Update Petition
YAAAAS GIRL WORK THOSE SALAMI FINGERS!...
As most of you may know, LeBlanc has been confirmed as one of the Big 4 to be receiving changes in the new Assassin Update.
The top comment on that thread (which I will link below) asked if LeBlanc will be receiving a visual update similar to that of Malzahar in the mage update since her model is very outdated and shows its age blatantly when in game (not including Ravenborn and Elderwood which are fairly new and up to par with other champion models).
To the communities surprise, Reav3 expressed that they are not planning to do anything visually but will be sprucing up her VFX.
As someone who has seen this in the past, this worries me.
Does that model look up to par with today's standards?
I have a bad feeling that Riot will rework her, and shelf her visuals 'for another time' when it makes more sense to knock out two birds with one stone and get it out of the way so it won't be a hassle later (which more than likely would come in a few more years considering they really only update visuals during reworks).
As a community, are we willing to just sit back and wait for LeBlanc to get a full scale massive rework for her to get new visuals? Speaking from past experience, Riot updated the visuals of Malzahar who had more skins and a much better model than LeBlanc's polygon triangle cape. She doesn't even have electric blue hair anymore, since her splash art update it is a midnight blue.
Even if the visual update is fixing up her textures and smoothing out rough edges, she needs to have some sort of change vs. the 2009 garbage can we have to look at right now.
In all honesty, I don't think there is any reason for her not to receive some sort of change and nobody would be opposed to further immersing character models further into the game!
Other characters have it bad, sure - but while we are on the topic of LeBlanc just knock it out while it is on your plate so you don't have to deal with more work down the line.
