Hey Riot, when are you going to visually rework Jax?

At the very least, when are you going to cause Empower to make his lantern burst into flames like it does in A New Dawn when he's fighting Darius?

But I like my eggplant lamp man...

I don't think his identity has to disappear, but his animations in particular are unbelievably stiff, especially compared to, say, Yasuo.

DemaciaClownOct 20, 20151 votes

Yasuo is on the kool kidz klub dou. With riven, lee and all that :)

WestonbirtOct 20, 20152 votes

I mean the simple things like the way he swings his Katana and waves it around when Q is on cooldown. Makes him very gracious. Looks nice. The greatest champion in League history should have some of that I wager.

(And I pray by the Old Lore FTR)

Bouffon dAnglaisOct 20, 20152 votes

well, yasuo is a new champion. jax isn't. it is to be expected.

WestonbirtOct 20, 20151 votes

Yeah but put them side by side it's pretty jarring.

FluxBoundOct 20, 20158 votes

That's why we want a visual update...

GorgannanOct 21, 20151 votes

Well darn, I guess in 10 years when we have 3d models for the new champs, all the old ones will be left in the dust.

Oh wait.

Good thing they didn't misspell Leonardo Dicaprio's FACE OR WE WOULD'VE REALLY HAD A PROBLEM!!

I think his visuals are fine right now in comparison to some of the others that need VUs. I would love to see that lamp post burst into flames with empower and this needs to be done.

GorgannanOct 21, 20151 votes

Jax is just about the worst visually. After MAYBE WW.

Noctius28Oct 20, 20152 votes

best case scenario let's see... we have poppy, next year comes taric then shen VU... so assuming best case Jax comes next then... at the end of 2016

DwarvenGiantOct 20, 20154 votes

You know that they aren't working on only 1 or 2 VUs at a time, right? They're usually working on at least 4 VUs, so even if they started working on Jax's VU now, they could finish it by February or March.

They have showed a schedule of releases from champ up, first is Poppy which might still be this year, Taric is next and has already been said to only come out next year, after that is Shen's VU, which would put us at the very minimum in February 2016 but you forgot that even Urgot is probably before Jax so make that April at best IF you have enough people begging for it

They have never released updates in less than a month apart, they might be working a bunch of them but only one is released at a time And downvoting me won't make it come out any faster =P

DwarvenGiantOct 20, 20153 votes

Sorry about the downvote, I didn't do it as a mean of saying that I hate you or your comment or something, but just that I don't agree with what you said, but I reverted it anyways. :P

And yeah, I forgot about Shen. He's in there too, for all we know, with Poppy, Taric, Urgod and Yorick. My point was that they basically have enough people to work on a few projects at a time. Of course, there's the priority and the "Since when is each being developed/when will it be finished", which usually makes them have gaps between released, unless Riot intend to release more than 1 project at the same time (Like GP and MF's updates or the Juggernauts updates). Also, I'm pretty sure that, unless a patch is already loaded with content (like lore or seasonal events), they won't hold finished projects even if it'll make them release to unrelated Champion Updates. :P

Well for Jax it would just be a VU like what they did to Karthus as opposed to what they did with Sion so it wouldn't take as long.

GorgannanOct 21, 20151 votes

VU == complete overhaul.

They VU MANY people out of order of their update schedule.

charcharmunroOct 20, 20152 votes

I'd also be up for some more voice-lines for Jax. It feels like he should have much more to say than he does.

Monkey D LuffyOct 20, 20152 votes

Nah get lost, current Jax is funny, stop trying to revolutionize everything, let the game keep some of its old charm will ya.

GorgannanOct 21, 20152 votes

not a visual rework. A visual update.

OelykOct 20, 20151 votes

Just dont change the animation times, i like being instantly able to w after auto for 1000 damage.

Photos of GhostsOct 20, 20151 votes

Actually, look at him and Morde compared to other 2009 champs (in thei looks of back then, Annie, Sivir, "the blind monk"...). They're stunningly beautiful.

Riot:No worry we wont actually touch is skin since it doesn't give us money. Since we are listening to you... We will release a chroma pack instead on his classic skin since we all know the community loves chroma pack to death!
