Can we expect to see a Dr Mundo, Kennen, Ryze and Nunu Visual Update in Season 6?

I made a post about Dr Mundo a few weeks ago needing a visual update and this is sort of bumping that up but also made me realise that these 4 Champions are in DESPERATE need of one too, they do not mesh visually with the map any more at all.

Ryze only got a slight particle effect and shading update from his rework and was mentioned from the art team that they are working up a VU for him sometime soon but has not been followed up since it was mentioned. Can any Rioter's make a response if at least the VU teams have discussed these characters to be visually updated?

Update: Thank you for all the comments on this post, I agree limiting to just 4 champions isn't enough but I thought pretty hard on what champions just really stick out as ugly but then from the comments I have realised there's many worthy mentions for example Pantheon is also pretty grim (those toes man).

In my opinion Dr Mundo is the worst looking one out of all of them if I really had to choose one who's just wanting some visual attention ASAP. Things to point out: Smaller than most tanks like Nautilus and Sion. Has 3 toes on each foot O_o. His eyes are cartoon googly eyes. Old particle FX (his ult needs some work as it's just spinning rings that don't really make clear that he's regenerating unnoticeable if it wasn't for the sound effect) and finally very clunky turn animations.

Thanks everyone once again :)

Just to clarify: Ryze did NOT get a Visual Update he got a texture rebalance and a added graphics effect on his tattoo's that glow when his passive is used. He still has the same model, textures, voice lines and animations.

Udyr already has one. It's a skin called spirit guard udyr, and it's legendary.

Exactly. They literally made his VU a 3000 RP skin.

Xin isn't so bad. Think about Taric .. his pizza feet. Mordekaiser too..

i agree, though XinZhao definitely needs a new splash (gold hued splash, silverish in game)

Uh, you forgot someone who desperately needs one. Fiddlesticks

Troll for Trump1 votes

He needs more than a rework

Shadowkirby141 votes

Are you suggesting a full relaunch or a major Gameplay and Visual Update?

Troll for Trump1 votes

Major gameplay update. Either that or he needs some sort of rework to a extent. HIs kit is wayyy to simplistic. He's pretty bland as a scarecrow too.. a squishy mage that alls in is bad. It's like a way worser karthus, except with a fear so fid can support. His W would be fine if every single champ couldn't have a ton of mobility cc or kill him in 2 seconds

yep, his classic is just like a walking stick

oh wait.. thats what fiddlesticks is

Indeed, but his animations need to be updated. His auto attack animation is one of the worst in this game.

LeafyGreen2 votes

Fiddle needs a complete overhaul now they have taken away Magus... with all the new popular junglers he doesn't really contest against them.

More importantly, his lore literally doesn't exist anymore. Fiddle came from the Insitute of War, which apparently isn't real anymore. He needs much more than a VU.

Pls kennen needs one RITO PLSSSSs

Lol his laugh animation is so retarded I die.

No joke, one of the reason I stopped maining him was bc of his taunts and jokes

Kennen :Yes they make shurikens this small.

biobirbbyy1 votes

Kennen : Big targets are the best! There is more to aim at!

Kuffi Alomosy1 votes

As a Kennen main, I approve of this

And heck, give him a skin too, its been like 5 years Rito

His only good skin is the arctic ops skin. And that isn't even that great

LilQuacker5 votes

Taric needs it the most

Tyermaillin2 votes

jesus christ I know right?? his pizza feet... and hell his, like, 2 other skins don't even offer any improvement.

StigtriX1 votes

I would go as far as saying that Bloodstone Taric skin makes the problems worse, as the proportions are obnoxious! Just look at the hammer and the shield :S And the hairdo with sharp edges completes the mess!

Lulu needs it more than anyone at the moment. Zoom in on her ingame, she straight up looks like a tree frog.

CornbreadAvenger7 votes

I think a texture pass could probably fix most of her problems, but she isn't nearly as bad as some of the champs listed in this thread.

FistOfSharkiesha1 votes

But.. just look at her again. Her hands look like paws and she has a giant frog mouth.

SlyTactician 2 votes

Lulu just needs a touch up to match her appearance from her Pool Party model.

What? Zyra looks totally fine...

ModAcademy Kayn2 votes

She is definitely not a huge priority but her colors seem kinda dull.

AbrahamBaconham2 votes

She's in need a of mild texture adjustment, far far less than any of the other champions in this thread

Yeah. It's not that bad of a model. Solid animations, clean mesh, decent textures.

You want to see what a bad model looks like? http://www.lolking.net/models?champion=36&skin=0 http://www.lolking.net/models?champion=9&skin=0 http://www.lolking.net/models?champion=44&skin=0 http://www.lolking.net/models?champion=80&skin=0

Have you seen Morgana? Place her next to Jinx and she's practically a little Barbie doll.

rize just got one this season

DwarvenGiant2 votes

This was a texture rebalance, nearly every champ that came before Season 3 got one.

LaoBushido4 votes

it was a general update that included a vu yes it was small but a vu non the less

Jason the other1 votes

ryze got that visual update long ago

FatTaco2 votes

It wasn't a visual update it was a texture rebalance, Ryze still has the same old model and textures from release just they made him less purple and more blue and his tattoos glow when his passive pops but it's still the same. Ryze needs new animations, new skeleton and new textures.

Slamurai Jack1 votes

Are you calling DrMundo ugly?

warpenguin5551 votes

Ezreal and Riven need it too

sugar in furs1 votes

Chogath Needs one, too. He's p ugly and his ability icons need an update.

Speaking of icons... Have you seen the icons for Tryndamere ??? They're out of this world awful. It's him yelling, his sword, and his sword yelling. C'mon, Rito.

Actually xPeke1 votes

Ryze already got a VU. right?

FatTaco2 votes

Why does everyone think this? No he didn't, it's still the same model with added glow effects on his tattoo's when he uses his passive.

BeatzBoyFTW1 votes

You gotta love how hardworking the Champion Update team were on making Zombie Nunu having tons of new attacks animations & new voice lines, while Nunu Bot(legendary) on the other hand..........receives nothing but teeny tiny electric sparks.
