Gangplank & Alistar Splash Updates Ever Coming?

These two were updated visually about 3 years ago. They still have a few splashes that no longer resemble their in-game selves or are just outdated. Specifically Minuteman, Spooky & Sailor for Gangplank. Then you have Unchained, Golden, Black, Matador, & Longhorn for Alistar. Any word on when these are coming?

I’m not sure how popular this opinion is, but I think Alistar needs a small gameplay update. Not because he’s outdated or really bad in anyway, but his gameplay doesn’t match his lore or fantasy at all. He’s supposed to be a warrior with an unbreakable will, and yet he’s just a mildly tanky support that occasionally bumps people around. I love his current kit, But it needs tweaked so he’s more of a top lamer or jungled than a support. (And yes I know he can jungle, I do it sometimes, but it’s not very good unless you know what you’re doing)

If they ever go back to splash updates then the first one I'd want to see is Sivir (mostly because she got it the worst in that Chinese art pass, only behind Evelynn, maybe) But yeah GP, Ali, Garen, Annie, Karthus, Kassadin... so many they should get to when they go back to doing splash updates. Also, here's to hoping Kass gets a new classic splash when they finally get to him.

They said that because they are updating more champions this year than in the last one,their splash art-update team has their hands full and isn't able to update the splash arts of the other champs who previously got a VGU.

So while Alistar&Gp are on the list for skin-splash art updates,they will likely need to wait until the splash art team gets a chance to do them,because the new VGUs take priority.

Karthus should get one before Gangplank or Alistar IMO .
