My bet would be Yorick. I just love every piece of him from the bulky Crying Maiden grave carried on his back (kinda reminds me of the Weeping Angels for some reason) to his chestplate which kinda looks like it's made out of stone and the hanging vial on his neck illuminating with aetheric light. The eye symbol on his shovel is also glorious and fits him thematically quite well. These little details just makes his modell feel alive (pun intended).

His vfx is also among the best as well, the hurling Black Mist as his cape and E gives him a sinister look, which suits his machiavellian mentality quite well, fighting back evil with it's own tools. The Ghouls are rather minimalistic but in a good way. They have to be brainless undead beings knowing only one order, to march forward until it's done. And the Maiden... Oh boy, the Maiden is probably my favourite thing in the whole game. A matron consisting of nothing but Black Mist and suffering souls begging for forgiveness illuminating with the same otherworldy light as its master's necklace... (and the sfx combined with it is quite glorious as well. I mean, if you've ever played as Yorick you know how satisfying it is to watch and listen to that Q )

All in all, I just love Yorick's visuals (and sounds and gameplay and amblock everything about him, but that's not the point of this topic).

Whose your all time's favourite when it comes to visuals?

Damn it, I saw the thread title and was prepared to gush about one of my favorite champs, but OP said everything as well or better than I could, lmao.

Galio’s new visual design is so clean and iconic. I love how solemn and mysterious he looks despite his joyful personality; like the Demacians built him to reflect their stoicism but got something else entirely. His golden wings are minimalistic but also communicate the justicar theme so well; and his bestial-looking features are a nice call back to the gargoyle archetype even though they're based on Demacian wyverns. All in all, I’m a huge fan of his new look from concept to in-game implementation, although I do wish Riot had stayed more faithful to his original personality (despite claims that he had none).

Jhin. While I do think more could've been done to showcase Whisper's effect on the body(blood changing to flower petals/smoke changing to butterflies, ect) when he lands a shot, he's still an interesting character all the same. I especially like Blood Moon's visuals, when he comes out of the ground in an ink like state.

Evelynn

Everything about the Aesthetic is so clever.

Her Sexy Visage being so flaunted but her demonic form and it's animations being so genuinely predatory.

The way her abilties showcase her process.

W = Sexy form seducing her victim. Q + E = Her Torturing her target. Ultimate = Finishing off her victim and living to kill again.

God it's just all so well thought out I love it.

For a long while it would have been aurelion sol, but I may have to go for Pyke. In a rather minimalistic look he manages to convey that he's this revenant mass murderer and his overall look is menacing. Except for when he uses W. I'm sorry, with his body just wriggling like that I know it's supposed to be a shark but I can't see anything but a ghostly mass murder slinking along the docks looney tunes style.

Other than that he's a 10/10 though.

I love the design of RekSai. She seems so alien. Probably more so than any other champion in the game. I love her purple+blue color scheme. Her fin, legs, and tail are all shaped perfectly. He scales are so beautiful with their earthy look. 10/10 league gril.
