Riot, your priorities confuse me

So a while back, when Morde was being reworked, you said that there was no need for a VU, even tho he has God Damn Pizza Feet, but ok then, if you say so. Then you say that Warwick is not top priority, even tho the only worst then his visual appearance is his game play, but hey, moving on. And now you say that Eve is not getting a VU any time soon either, WTF ??????????????? But no, Fiora, hey she looked terrible , lets update her because clearly she was the worst looking champ (Not hating on the Fiora Vu, I kinda liked it, but I am complaining that Champ that the community considered not a top priority got a visual update wayyyyy before other champs that need it ).

Well Fiora got updated because she needed entirely new animations to actually function with a new kit, plus entirely new VFX. The update was larger scope than you'd think.

Morde, Warwick and Eve aren't top priority because Poppy, Taric and Yorick are top priority right now.

Poppy is going to hit the PBE in about 3-4 patches (or so I hope) and Taric is finishing as well. Yorick is not even close to being a priority, btw. And Morde is not on the game play rework list anymore, but on the VU list, and they are diferent teams, so they could rework him ,they just don't want to. Riot always crapped on Eve. They Crapped on her numbers, her damage output, her mana costs, and don't even give a her a VU to compensate, and your argument that they are working on Poppy and Taric is invalid, since they will come out during the preseason, and Riot stated that they will not look into Eve during the Preseason. And Ww is iceboxed along with Yorick, so yeah, riot hides them completely.

Both gameplay reworks and VUs are handled by the Champion Update team.

No, they are not done by the same team

They are indeed the same team; the ChampUp team does everything in regards to reworks, including those of a visual and gameplay nature.

Pretty much this. Expansive reworks require new animations. Updating the VU is just killing 2 birds with one stone.

Warwick probably won't get a VU until he gets a rework. A lot of champions with terrible models at the moment probably won't get a VU until they get a rework. And many of these champions do not need a rework. Not until the meta has shifted so far that their kit becomes toxic to the game.

And when asked what kind of toxicity, I mean Poppy level toxicty. The kind where you can** literally do nothing and watch everyone die in agony if she somehow gets fed.**
