Basically, I'm kinda bored ATM and I was wondering, what is people's opinion here on VUs for champs that came out during after season 2, that don't look as terrible as, say, Mundo, Nunu or Taric? Do you guys think that there are "newer" champs that need any sort of visual update (thematically and/or techincally/quality)?
Pretty much every 2010 or prior champion could use an update at this point.
Are looking really dated compared to new champions
Any champion VU before Ashes VU is outdated and should be updated to something better.
Tryndamere got a VU, alright, but his current model barely resembles his splash art, the sculpture and the concept art done by Paul Kwon (Zeronis), he needs another one.
Kassadins VU left more to desire.
Alistars, Maokais VUs are okay, they just need new voice over.
All in all, I think each model update should be accompanied by new model animations and a recall animation, to keep the level of quality Riots current champions have.
Yes it would take more time, yes it would take more resources to do and yes I think it would be worth it.
In the end my top3 champs where I'd really like to see a VU,even if they aren't that outdated,are:
his VU was kinda disappointing,as it merely updated his design to the newer standards,but didn't change it and I really dislike his design,because he is this guy who looks like darth vader,with a giant cthulu-like-helmet,with spikes of doom for his shoulders.....and then he runs around shirtless,which just looks odd.
Though I understand that this VU only came to be because a riot member worked on it in his/her free time,I appreciate it,but still hope for a small redesign in the future.
If you look at the sion promo you'll notice that he has a different staff in one of the parts,which looks much better than his current one.I also think his Bird form could look better and the species of bird should change depending on the skin(not just the colour),just imagine bilgewater swain turning into a demonic parrot!
I was never really a fan of her dragon form,though I think her human form looks good(could still be updated for better quality)
The only ones I can think of is Caitlyn and Rumble. Their rigs are a complete mess, and their animations are wonky at best, downright creepy at worst.
Most other "veterans" who aren't on the Original 40 actually fare fairly well. Pantheon for example, I always thought he was in need of one, but a Texture Update proved enough for the time being.
vlad........swain......lb........leona.......
Well they said that Yorick is getting a full relaunch,so at least Riot considers him in the need of a VU and overall overhaul.
could use some cleaner textures and a redesigned torso. I don't know why a sovereign ruler has such a skimpy outfit when compared to the likes of Azir or Jarvan ...
