Riot - You need to focus on VGUs if you're going to use your videos and artwork to sell the game.
It's pretty misleading to show things like Lux in art form on your new front page, not to mention a lot of other champions too - only to have them look horribly dated in the game. If this is your new direction on how you want to market the game, you have to have the game match the marketing material to a degree. I understand some marketing material is an exaggeration, but it shouldn't be that far off from how things are in the game. But when characters like Lux are rocking graphics from like 7-8 years ago, and champions like Akali and Senna look stunning and brand new and modern, it creates a pretty monstrous divide.
So yeah, I get you want to push new champions going forward. But if that's your push, it needs to match your marketing overall. You can't showcase old champions in all kinds of media, not update them, then tell us that your major focus is new champions. Both of these statements have to be meeting and moving forward together, not diverging and giving players two competing narratives on the game.
should be top priorities for visual updates right now. Malz's "vgu" didn't really do very much, they didnt even change the color of his spells and voidling on the Shadow Prince skin.
REALLY needs a VGU. He was one of the starting champions and he still has the same model
