Updating old Legendary skins?

So the other day I was playing one of my old favorites, Olaf. Well I have the Brolaf skin (which is awesome) but it kinda hit me that some of the old legendary skins are a bit lack luster compared to newer skins that are only 975 or 1350. I totally understand that they were made a long time ago and that League has come a long way since then but when compared to other 1820 skins it just doesnt rightly deserve that price. So I was just wondering if Riot is ever planning on maybe updating skins like Brolaf or Corporate Mundo to be a little more on par with legendary skins. Or if the time to do that would to long I guess you could lower the price but in that situation people who already bought them may feel a bit cheated. And when I say update I dont mean a complete redo of the skin, just maybe something to make it shine a bit more. For example Brolaf has the hilarious VO and a great look to him but there is no recall animation and his ability particles are identical to vanilla Olaf. Just changing up the particles a tad and adding some kind of recall animation would be more than enough to satisfy me. In fact I am already satisfied I just think some stuff needs a polish other than just the champions themselves.

TLDR: Some old skins just dont seem to match their prices when compared to newer skins in the same price category.

Thank you for everyone's time and feel free to post any discussion :)

Well a lot of the early Legendary skins really were nothing special, like Annie in Wonderland or The Magnificent Twisted Fate. They just essentially gave the champion another outfit, but newer ones like Forecast Janna come with new animations, voice over, visual effects. However, they have said that older skins, like those that I had mentioned won't be changed in price anyway as those two are Legacy, but they could have had some updates done but nothing major was really done in like Annie's case even when she got her VU in 2012.

So overall, I doubt anything will change with any of the skins, old or new.

Yeah... They only seem to rework skins in visual updates. I hope they start updating skins. They probably will if they have nothing else to do.

Gentleman Cho'Gath needs to be worked on. Compared to most legendary skins, it really needs some kind of update.

All I want is a unique recall animation for Gatekeeper Galio and some particle work for Divine Soraka. Oh and remove the horn quote since she has no horns.

Legendary skins are protected, meaning that if their price goes down, everyone who owned the skin previously gets a refund. I do think they should update the old skins though. Few are still worthy of their legendary status in the face of the new shiny ones.

Can we talk about The Magnificent Twisted Fate?
