Ignoring the VGU's of Eve/Urgot/Akali. Who is next to just get a visual update? is it Pantheon? Talon? maybe Irelia? im just curious because its not talked about much anymore and only hear about the ones who need gameplay updates to go with their visual updates.

Riot has decided against stand-alone VUs (like Heimerdinger, Twitch, Karthus) and the ChampUP team, which consists of three smaller teams (pods), are now doing VGUs (which two pods work on- The Yorick one and the Warwick one) and Roster Updates (one pod).

They decided to do updates this way because it's the best way to maximize design and art resources for them.

but what about the updates that were like Annies or Ashe's where they only change their model? i look forward to those updates :[

Yeah, so they won't be doing them like that for the time being. They'll only be tied to Gameplay Updates, unless it's some Miss Fortune kind of exception where it was tied to a lore event (Burning Tides).

The thing is that most champions who need a VU could also use a gameplay update and most champions who are in dire need of a gameplay update also need a visual one.

I mean you suggested Pantheon and Irelia and they both happen to be on the list for a VGU.

Talon on the other hand is on the list for a class-update meaning he'll only get a gameplay update.

dang that sucks =\ is even Morgana on the list for a VGU? or cho'gath? kinda sucks they have to wait for them to need VGU's just to get a decent model

Cho is on their list,but Morgana isn't on it(or at least she wasn't when they gave us their list).

For the record the following champs are on their VGU-list(hopefully I didn't forget anyone) Akali Chogath DrMundo Evelynn Galio Irelia Mordekaiser Pantheon Rammus Shaco Swain Tryndamere Urgot Volibear

And of course Yorick and Warwick

Warwick's next, being done by the team who did Ryze. Who the Yorick team's working on next hasn't been stated, but is going to be revealed soon.

I want to see Irelia new splash art, skins are good but only classic a new one.
