What champions would benefit from a thematic update?
As the game is modernized factions gain more of a set visual identity and new champions are more rigorously tailored to fulfill their fantasy all-around.
Some older champions didn't emerge with these guidelines yet in place though, and there might be chances for improvement thematically given the efforts of the VU team. 
is a good example of a theme being pushed to new glorious heights after an update, and also clearly placing him within the Shadow Isles' visual identity.
What champions do you think could gain most from their fantasy, theme or affiliation being solidified in an update?
Her most defining feature is that she is the girl with levitating blades,yet her kit makes only use of that with her ult(which feels quite unimpressive),the rest of her abilities could have been slapped on any other bruiser
he is basically THE electro mage of the game,no other champ uses as much lightning as he does(ryze and xerath use pure energy),however he doesn't look like a lightning champ at all
he is a gem paladin,but that hardly matters,the only gem related move is his w(and those look like crystals),they should give him animations that make it clear that the abilities come from the gems on his armor
yeah him being a serial killer isn't really noticeable at all,he should remain a comedic character,but he should express his sadistic side a bit more
I'm not even sure whats ryzes core theme,he is kinda the standard mage and a keeper of an ancient scroll with magic tatoos and thats basically it and none of that gets really expressed in any way by him

and 
, could use some identity-improvements, otherwise this faction kind of embraces the variegated. Decide on a number of fingers though, haha.
feels like a good starting point for their style. Maybe push some of 
s design towards these guys as well.
However, not a fan of the cockney vibe from 
have very similar tight overalls, 
could be more buff than her fragile peers.
feels like an outlier. What is supposed to make him interesting? His visuals doesn't tell much of a story, most of his kit doesn't really deliver a fantasy very well. I think he has potential to be Demacia's answer to 
, though.
could use some visual storytelling, maybe an "adventurer" vibe. 
could use the same treatment. Try figuring out a way to make the mix of Freljord and Ionia work visually for 
.
towards 
s visual language. I'd liked to see some more obviously Ionian elements on 
and 
; just some small things. Also elements of 
I feel could be improved. I'm no fan of her pelvis-area, otherwise the clothes are fine. It might have been a lost opportunity not to juxtapose her body-type with her "power"-theme; a shorter, more svelte frame would have been a nice contrast to her OVERWHELMING POWER. Currently she looks very tall because of her tiny head.
currently don't fit in at all, though.
(
are almost there, some light work with their aesthetics would really bring them home. 
as well. He could also benefit from more practical weapons though; the wrist-blade looks clunky, as do the bladed cape-weights. A better delivery on his arsenal would be great.
needs some tech- and fashion-upgrades, otherwise these guys are fine! If you keep some yordles around this place make their tech match the area.
need VU's. 
, make him more machine.
needs some visual development, otherwise we just need more stuff from there! Maybe put 
there and push the greco-roman angle?
and 
could do fine with a 
-level update, but try adding a touch of Shurima to their designs.
need to adapt to the new awesome visual style!
Don't fit in anymore, and they fall kind of flat anyway. 
, but it bugs me that she wasn't pushed more towards plant. Try scrapping the fleshy parts and "leaf costume" in favour of building her body through-and-through out of thorns, plants and petals. Her silhouette could also be pushed further into rose-territory. More thorns, more agressive shapes!
or graet queen Rek'Sai ...
He need more love than simply MTU like 
is of Ionian roots before becoming a gladiator, as is 
. 
-love old visuals and lore; new lore makes his visuals feel like man in the iron mask rather than entombed sarcophagus.
- Complete visual overhaul needed; feels too Spawn/lizard-like rather than Void insect
- just needs model/texture update
- pending lore rewrites; Brand doesn't look like a person with his own will or motivations. The possessed body that Brand is in could hint at his lokfar origins. At least have Brand look like the end game boss he's suppose to be rather than forgettable minion fodder.
- misshapen dragon armor?; needs clean straight lines.
- lore justified visuals... but could have the glove look to be more shuriman in origin.
- this is what i think piltover as a city and hextec should look like. bold clean shapes and colors that reference clock work but have futuristic edge.
- possible lore justified visuals... still looks like dieselpunk 80's punk rocker.
- too much victorian clockwork not enough hextec
- looks like piltover criminal, i.e. jinx, rather than police officer. Also dieselpunk as opposed to hextec for her gloves.
- high contrast modern clean sharp lined body suit with classical armour bits.
- lower contrast body suit with overlapping non-referential armour bits.
