Characters that need a Visual Update

The Pale Woman··6 votes·1,669 views

These champions are the few left in the game who's models are very outdated and clunky compared to the ones that have been updated and or made new - these champions do not need a game play update, simply a model change for most (if not all) of there older skins since they each do not really flow well with today's higher quality models.


Janna - Janna is proof that re-texturing a model isn't always the solution. Her HAIR is really, really outdated and looks like a yellow flame, animations choppy and textures lower quality but not as bad as the rest. Along with Leblanc, her ability Icons could use an update!

Leblanc - Everything about her IG model is clunky and simply unappealing compared to her beautiful splash. Her hair is a midnight purple in her splash, yet a neon-deep blue in game among other sins: the model looks disproportionate, low-resolution and cartoony on every skin but the two most recent. Additionally, her staff jewels are crudely animated and her icons for her abilities could use an update as well!

Morgana - Her dress looks like a triangle, animations EXTREMELY choppy and textures (particularly the triangle dress) stretched. Morgana's model has to be one of the oldest in the game along with a few others on this list, we'd love to see her have more voice clips as well.

Shaco - Animations somewhat clunky, debatable if his model really needs updated or not however it doesn't seem to fit in with today's quality models. Icons were updated so that is a start!

These are the only three who (discluding Yorick and Taric) also need a splash art update to be up to par with the newer champions.

Evelynn - Poor Eve really needs something to be done about her splash, her model's look decent but could use a bit of spring cleaning along with Irelia.

Swain - Everything about Swain is old, its like the champion Riot forgot other than Yorick and Urgot. Although he is played somewhat more than the other two, its crazy that he doesn't have as little as a new splash art. There was a rumored one a few months back that never made it into the game - how sad. Regular model looks awesome but it might do him a favor to make his bird-form more terrifying and less like something a character on sesame street would wear.

Irelia - This Grandma in the splash art and the blue 'magic carpet' hair on Irelia are so very misleading. People have been asking for a splash art update for Irelia for longer than I have been on League, but her model could use a bit of spring cleaning as well.

In my opinion, Morgana and Leblanc have the two most outdated models right now (in terms of champions not confirmed for a visual update). I'd love for Riot to take a look at this when they think of whom to update visually next - as well as hear everyone's opinions for who else has a very outdated model for there is bound to be some I missed, these are just some of the worst offenders.

No mention of Warwick, Pantheon, or Mordekaiser? Really?

There are over 60 champions that need visual update (64 to be specific) and they will get them all eventually

I would really like if RIOT could do a Visual Update on TwistedFate Or at least add some new lines for him :)

I cant tell if you are joking or serious, TF already had a full visual update and new splash art

What is it (Aside from his Voiceover) you think that needs to be updated? I'm simply curious, because our good ol' Tobias already got his update a few years ago and still looks very up to date, by today's standards. :P

Maybe Twisted Fate needs no visual update.How about some voice lines for a change?I mean after the Butcher Bay event (or what its called) it would make sense to give both Graves and Twisted Fate some new lines...i.e. Twisted Fate says something to Graves or Graves says something to Gangplank etc. now THAT is what I REALLY would like to happen

DwarvenGiant1 votes

Eventually, that will happen (Perhaps even with a Graves VU that'll have him holding his new gun, New Destiny, and with it, maybe, a fitting design). Unfortunately, there are champs with a much dire need for new lines than Twisted Fate- Kassadin is a good example of this, since not only he has just 10 quotes (excluding his three different laughs), but two of them are a reference to his old ability to Silence, as if he still has that in his kit.

You obviously don't know and can't tell what the current standard is

Janna already got a Visual Update

DwarvenGiant1 votes

Honestly, she could use another one. I'm not saying that she should be a top priority, but just that she's as outdated as any other not-very-good-looking champ from 2011 or 2010, IMO.

Dont forget about Taric

Taric is already scheduled for one thats why he wasn't on the list.

I would love to see a Morgana visual update, even if it's minimal like Kassadin or Maokai. She looked so stiff, tiny and awkward.

Kennen Looks like a potato wearing a badly rendered ninja cosplay (which sucks since I love em)

Thank you based Riot for this beautiful new skin but look at his base model

Oh please, you think that her hair is bad?

No love for Ashe? Not one of her skins gives her new dialog...
