As time goes on champions get old, and some just need a little Umpf to them in game. Making them look fierce and modern would make these champions not only have skill, but look awesome too.

Here are a few i thought of: Anivia (She kinda looks like she hasn't been changed from the 1800's) Blitzcrank (His splash art looks amazing, only to find him looking like a rusted robot in-game) Gangplank (He's a pirate, make him look like he didn't come from a Disney movie) Gragas (He may be an alchaholic, but a he still deserves to look cool) Jax (Ummmmmm, Well, You'll have to decide what to do with this one Riot) Kassadin (He literally consists of a diamond for a body, What?) KogMaw (You changed his splash art, But what about him!!!) Taric (And least make him look a bit fearsome) Singed (Again with the splash art, come on Riot)

Please comment Champions you want to see Updated

Anivia Had a TU recently. Model is a bit small for my taste though. The great cryophoenix looks more like a cryopidgeon. Blitzcrank No real opinion either way. Gangplank Suffers from "One of the first to be VU'd" syndrome. Might need another pass to bring back up to standard, but he's fine for the moment. Gragas Maybe an MU? Gragas doesn't look completely terrible. Jax MTU Kassadin MTU KogMaw Koggle's looks ok. He's not the worst offender. Maybe a bit in the way of model work, but he's fine for the moment. Taric They've mentioned they're going to Sion him, as in give him a more accurate description and completely build his character around that. Last I heard about him was when IronStylus was picking our brains for direction and inspirations. Singed Singed recently got an MTU. Looks fine to me.

All of them could use new vocal lines though. Even Anivia despite getting an update there during the Freljord event.

Blitz just had a texture re-balance that helped him look more like his splash. Singed just had an MTU that brought him up to date.

Kass is on the upcoming Rework/VU list, so his will be sometime this year.

Well, the texture rebalances are more like bandage solutions. For some champions they are temporary, only some though. It doesn't mean they won't get a VU in the future.

I can't say much about the others but there was a recent post by Riot talking about the Kassadin, Taric and Ryze updates. I know Ryze isn't on the list but just thought I would mention it. Singed actually did get a minor rework/upgrade a while ago, somewhere around pre-season I believe. Anivia needs a new splash art though.
