When Will We Get An Update On Visual Reworks?

Simple question. Been reading from certain Riot members that the art team is working hard to get the VU's going we can tell that they have delayed a lot of them this year due to other factors like gameplay and completely re-imagining champions like Poppy so I'm wondering when we will get an official Dev Corner post or website article that gives us details just on where they are on the visual updates as there are so many champions in line for a make over.

I fear they have taken a step back on dishing out visual reworks due to the community backlash on some of the reworks lately. Fiora VU especially. But next for a big VU confirmed is Taric and later on Yorick .

This page updates every so often on whats next for both visual and game-play updates.

Outside of Taric and Shen, all I know is that they have just begun work on Yorick_ (meaning could be close to a year be fore it is finished)_ and Warwick has an experimental kit somwhere.

I know Urgot is on their list as well, but I don't know if he is being worked on at the moment.

They just started with Yoricks rework?

Yeah, it was said he was the next big one after Poppy.

He's not been iceboxed, solcrushed is doing some early design work and he will go full steam on yorick once he finishes up with poppy. No dates are clear at all yet, but I can say that he wont ship before poppy or taric as we need that whole art/sound/engineering team to work on him when they finish those projects.

High level we are gonna have to rebuild this guy from the ground up. The starting point of core elements to keep that we have in mind right now are "ghoul summoner" and "Imposing melee fighter."

Are there any things we're missing on what makes Yoirck Yorick?

Hell yes.

I have a feeling Yorick is going to be evil.

I know this exists but Riot in these forums have talked about VU ideas for more than the ones listed, that's why I want a official post to give us an actual run down on where they are with all of them because this year has been lack luster and stuff like delaying Ryze's VU and only vaguely discussing a Dr Mundo VU just makes me wonder what is taking them so long as a lot of the VU's are almost finished they just haven't released them yet due to other things happening.
