Cho'Gath and his Skins

Since Cho'Gath Chogath just got his new prehistoric skin it made me think about his old skins. Particularly his legendary ones. I love Gentleman Cho, but it seems like it needs a "buff." Some ideas I had for the skin would be for his Rupture (Q) that instead of spikes he could Rupture up a dinner table instead. I thought his Feral Scream (W) was great because he yells quiet while doing it. His Vorpal Spikes (E) should show Cho'Gath throwing wine bottles or silverware at his opponents instead of the standard spikes. This thought I read somewhere, probably on youtube, that Cho's ultimate Feast (R) should have him pull out a fork and knife to devour his enemy. I was also thinking about his back (B) he should be sitting in a throne like chair, perhaps in front of a fire place, reading a newspaper. Just some of my ideas plus the idea about his ult coming from youtube, but the rest are mine. Now for Cho's Battlecast skin. I do think it is great, but since there are so many other battlecast skins and Skarner Skarner has his own legendary battle cast skin it kind of lowers the value of this one. It's just not that original anymore, now it's just one of a set, and while it was the only legendary out the bunch it made him the leader in a way. Now with Skarner's skin also being legendary it almost makes his not really special anymore, and too my knowledge that's what legendary skins, and ultimate skins are about. Making a special skin that Riot worked extra hard on, and also that they would be unique to the champion. Well these are just my thoughts on the subject. Hope anyone that reads this enjoys it.

Riot has stated they will give cho a VU The real question is, will his VU come before or after the cure for cancer.

Riot has stated they don't plan on changing legendary skin to meet the current standards. They will give them visual updates with the champions (see firefighter tristana) but they aren't going to changing the particles/spell effects. The main reasons being

  1. They don't want to change the skin in such a way that players that purchased for what it was, are displeased with what it is an no longer want the skin.

  2. They would have to allocate resources for something that has already existed and cost money to produce (with likely little return in increased sales of it) when they could instead create new higher quality legendary/ultimate skins for other champions.

TL;DR - While it would be nice, i wouldn't hold your breathe.
