@Riot - New lore and art is great, but the champions still look like crap in game.

I don't have a single problem with the new lore or any of the art. It's actually amazing to see that side of league of legends coming out. Unfortunately I am seeing champions with amazing lore, themes, and art still look like complete garbage in game and not reflect a single thing you are creating. It seems like one half of the game is improving and the other side of the game is getting better and better every year. How long are these champions going to have to wait until you start doing something?

Varus - He has a great theme and new lore and art. There is so much narrative that Varrus can have because of his lore retcon, but it feels like a waste of an opportunity to do virtually nothing for years now. Varrus is an individual that is comprised of three different individual personalities and strengths. I do not see the struggle, the love, and the personality at all portrayed in the outdated VO, model, and kit of this champion. His kit is not even that bad so I don't understand why nothing is being done, but Ezreal is being prioritized for a VGU.

MissFortune - Current MF is a sl*t. She looks lie one, acts like one, and is a very poor representation of where the lore is today. In the new lore MF is a savage pirate who will stop at nothing to get revenge and be the best she can be. She is a cunning and devious woman, but has a personality that can be amazing if done properly in game with good narrative and a visual update. Current MF still talks about the summoners and is by no means updated even with a hair update. Remember, Ezreal was given a priortized mini VGU.

Karma - She actually has a personality and decent lore now, that many of us had to fight for. This means that she should have art, narrative and kit that reflects this. This rework does nothing to bring her to this spot. The outdated and incomplete art assets and narrative does nothing to do that. It really shouldn't be this hard to get actual work done on a champion that has completed splash-art and a 10x better lore and theme, to have the crap we have now. Karma has past lives and she could be communicating with them in game through better narrative. Karma could have a graceful and powerful visual update that represents her better in game. I don't understand why we have nothing but excuses as to why nothing is being done on Karma for the past 5 years, but a reason to always do something like a mini VGU on Ezreal.

Nidalee - Amazing lore and great art. I love the updates and I love the direction you are taking with her. Too bad she looks like a stripper in game. I feel like Nidalee's theme could be taken to limitless possibilities and she can be a great role-model for the game, but lookin' like you just came off a pole is what these Developers are most proud about. Nidalee's ability to turn into a cougar should and could be represented better in her art, narrative, and kit. I actually hate her voice and how dumb it sounds . . . .


It's about to be 2019 and Riot Game Developers are still making excuses. Can we stop with the excuses and actually make sh*t happen? It really shouldn't be this hard to fight for champions and getting something done. You literally went out of your way to come up with an excuse as so why champion like Ezreal and Ryze get VGU, but you completely ignore the amazing possibilities you could be done on champions you just worked on in art and lore. Stop with the excuses and make something happen. It's getting old, Riot.
