@Reav3 Will Hextech Galio be brought up to Hextech Annie's level for his VGU?

I know Hextech Galio is a sub-975 RP skin, but it has so much potential to be a visually amazing skin like Hextech Annie, which is the highest-quality example of a Hextech skin to date. With Galio's VGU on the way, will you guys be updating it to the same level of awesomeness as Hextech Annie -- perhaps by raising it to 975 or 1350 RP -- or will it be staying a skin that uses the same particle/sound effects as Galio's base?

The current plan is to keep the price the same but add re-colored VFX similar to what we did with some of the Warwick skins.

The Visual theme will be updated to match the modern Hextech visual theme as well.

Probably not to the extent of Hextech Annie, just because of how hard it is to get

I'm still scared about his rework. I don't want my main to become a flavor of a month pick that all the sheep go to and then he gets nerfed into the ground like morde did.

They'll probably give it new particles or different colored ones with the VGU, since it was above a 750 price cost, but probably not a lot more than that. The only one of Galio's skins getting considerable work will be Gatekeeper, since it's the first VGU they'll be doing that encompasses a moderately advanced 1820 skin.

They don't change the prices on skins often, especially during a champion update so I doubt that (plus it's Legacy). It's possible they will recolor the effects though as we saw those changes with some of WW's lower skins.

Doubt anything will be as high as Hextech Annie though since she's an Exclusive skin to the Hextech Creating and fairly hard to get.

Man I sure hope so
