Worry for Xin and Aatrox.

So on the update page it tells you what type of rework a champion is getting if it's a full vgu or just a soft rework. On xin and aatrox it says nothing about updating visuals and this is concerning for now I wonder. How far does riot mean with that?

Are the character models going to get no touch up at all? For both are fairly old champs who could use a little bit of love. Are we going to get no new voice lines? For Xin literally just says same three tough guy lines over and over again even though his lore itself is quite fascinating. A former Noxus slave who rescued Jarvan. Like that's bad ass as hell. So much room to expand on that. Are neither getting lore updates? Really hope that riot changes their mind and gives them some more love.

XinZhao : They talked about reworking his [W] entirely, yet leaving the rest of his kit be as it is. They did say Xin Zhao could have a VGU Overhaul in the future, but that's way far down the road (We're talking about a road as long as Galio is Tall in the lore). Aatrox : He's getting an entirely new Kit, this new Aatrox will play much differently than the original. They said that he's a bit recent in terms of release dates on champions, so a Visual Update isn't exactly necessary. However, I'd like to see his VO get expanded like they did for Lux Lux .

Aatrox is from 2013 and actually looks pretty good, has a very modern model.

Xin being from 2010 is much older and could use some love visually but they chose not too.

The only thing that is happening to either of them is they are getting Gameplay Updates as it says on the schedule page, nothing else for them is being changed.

Aatrox won't have any kind of visual change (except for his skills) since he has a pretty modern look by Riot standards. Xin is slated for just the gameplay update and apart from a possible small texture update (like what Rammus or Anivia got) i highly doubt we're going to see the Seneschal with an updated look.

Xin is goind to have a new W and some new tweaks on the other spells that means, the W needs ofc new FVX/SVX and also some little textures, icon changes on the others changes when they are affected by the update AAtrox is getting a big GU with a complete new kit means, complete new SFX,FVX kit , AAtrox model is totally fine, the lore is okay so no changes needed there but ofc it will look better after the update ( maokai looks more smoother and the seju passive makes the boar more dangerous.
