Can we get some visual updates on legendary legacy skins?

Like not a full overhaul but maybe some touch ups and new animations at least? Tons of people get them out of chest so it's not like they would be updated for no reason. I want to see some new effects on red baron corki honestly.

They're not updating visuals for individual skins. Skin updates will only occur with VGUs.

Galio is so far going to be the first champion who has a remotely advanced legendary skin who's getting updated. All the old ones like for Annie, Trist, TF, etc weren't true legendary skins because they were ancient, ancient relics from a time when a new particles effect was considered 1820 work. Galio actually has a different model, a different VO, and different particles in Gatekeeper, and it's not so outdated that it's not retired, making it the first mildly advanced skin to get updated in a VGU.

At present, Rioters have said that they are actually investing a lot of effort into Gatekeeper to make it worthy of it's price tag, and giving it a unique new VO as well as other things. We'll see how involved they are with Gatekeeper, and use this as a gauge for how they'll approach future VGU champs with high cost skins.

Thanks for the info but I still would like to see some updates on them. I have firefighter tristana and red baron corki and they're nice skins just not as cool as other legendarys

Well, those were the ancient legendary skins I mentioned. Firefighter Tristana had different particles, which at the time it was made, was what classified it as a 1820 skin. Their standards for skin pricing has changed over the years, hence why it was retired. The skin was actually preserved as it was, and just visually updated, so it won't be getting any more updates. The reason that skin and the Corki one, and others, we're retired was because of their not meeting the standards for their prices.

They've briefly mentioned Corki getting a VGU, but it won't be for a long time.
