Now that Miss Fortune has gotten an update...

Can Ezreal get an update of the same level as Miss Fortune's? I've been asking for this for a long time. Ezreal is in about the same level of visual outdateness as pre-VU Miss Fortune, if not more.

His model (especially for his classic and the older skins) is very low quality compared to newer champions. His hair looks like a fruit, his face looks weird and plastered on, his clothes look like they are made of metal, and his body just looks weird and disproportionate. His hands and feet are waaaay too large, especially noticeable when put next to champions such as Ahri, Lucian, and Graves. His limbs look dislocated. His head is too big for his body, he looks like a 12 year old in game.

His animations are smooth, but not as smooth as the newer champions. And there are animations of his that I think are just stupid. Can he have a normal running animation? He looks like a skipping schoolgirl when he runs. Also, his ultimate animation is too exaggerated. How did he learn to fly? Why can't he just channel on the ground in a similar way to Varus channeling his Q? IMO, it would look way more badass. Also, please keep the dance...

His particle effects were nice for it's time, but now they are completely outshined by the new fancy particle effects that Riot has animated. His Mystic Shot especially, looks highly outdated. IMO it needs to look more like pulsefire Ezreal's Q. The damaging bolt on his E is almost completely unnoticable, can it be more like a laser beam please? His ultimate looks lame, like glitter gracefully flying across the map. The description says it's a barrage of missles, so it should be a row of comets with prominent trails. It's also very unnoticeable and subtle when compared to the other global projectile ultimates of other champions. Put it in the middle of Jinx's, Grave's, and Ashe's ultimate and I don't think you will even notice it. The channeling also needs to look more... Magic...cy..

TL;DR I think Ezreal needs a Miss fortune level update. Maybe during an upcoming Piltover event?

It surprises me, considering that Riot seems to indicate that Ezrael's gameplay is fine, that he hasn't received a visual update when he is present every year in the competitive scene. His particles and animations and grossly outdated and could use a bit of modernizing. Even by old standards, they're especially simple and ugly. It'd be awesome to see our favourite ADC-mage in his full, laser-shooting glory.
