With the announcement last year of the incoming Shuriman and Mount Targon Lore update,and woth the recent short bio updates to the Mount Targon champions, I thought that Pantheon's VU will be incoming.

But...

But that depends on when we get to Divers. If we don't get to Divers soon then he might be closer to needing a VGU at which point we would pass on a roster update for him. Even if we do Divers it isn't guaranteed that he would be chosen, just that he would be on the table. > > We passed on Swain for the Mage update specifically because he needs a full VGU rather then a roster update."

(dont know how to quote)

This has me a liitle scared since usually big lore events would include VUs. Shurima had the Renekton and Cassiopeia MTU Bilgewater had the Gangplank VGU and the MissFortune MTU

I would have thought that since Mount Targon currently only has 3 champions, and Pantheon being in serious need of an overhaul in look and theme that he'd be a shoe in for at least a "Tistana-size" VU

I really hope my Pantheon gets it

Pantheon is such a cool champ, he is just unhealthy in the game right now. A non interactive kit that becomes useless post 30 minutes - so his gameplay isn't in a good spot rn. More-over, he doesn't LOOK good unless you have the Dragonslayer skin, which isn't something you should have to say about any champ. I was really hoping when A-Sol came out and we had the Mount Targon update, Sol and Taric came out and we got lore updates to Leo, Diana and Panth... but not even tuning. Not even a small scale rework. His kit is generic, his model is unappealing, I'd love nothing more than a full VGU

Honestly it isn't surprising. He's not on the update list and VU's don't come without new animations for abilities.

Waste of resources. Kinda sucks, but that's the way the world goes. At least I have dragonslayer.

it doesnt matter if its inbound or not really, at this rate even the tier 1 champions will take 8 years+ to finish with their updates, we get barely 2-3 VGUs per year

Swain needs it. Over 5 years without anything is too much.
