I love how much Riot has improved the quality of the artistry of their reworks

Let me start this off saying that I have been playing league since the Poppy release , the original. Back in 2013 , I had thought that I had seen it all , awesome champions with cool themes , groovy skins , pretty badass lore and what I called cool reworks on champions. I thought that I knew cool visual updates (Look up old Janna or Soraka , and if you think that Kayle looks outdated , I'll have you know that she already got a VU once ) and reworks , such as Karma rework or Seju's. But then , bam , the Karthus VU hit , and holy crap , I now want all the champions to look as good as him. And then came the mother load , the Sion full VGU. That was the shit , like the real shit. Sure , Riot had some slip ups , but that is only normal. Before I was like , meh , a rework , how nice , the champion will be played for a month, and then thrown into the dumpster. But now i'm like , NEW REWORK BITCHESSSSSSSSS. I can hardly wait to see what Riot does with my babies Eve , Swain , Kayle and Irelia (Aether Wing Kayle needs a Gatekeeper Galio level update so badly). Anywho , keep up the awesome work , Riot

that's not even all that's going on

they are also going back through previous champion VGUs/VUs and updating their SKIN SPLASHES, Karma is being worked on as we speak and will be coming soon™ after that, Maokai and Sejuani are on the line for new skin splash artwork to go with the mid-season tank update.

oooohhh no, this project is NOT OVER because after these three, there are 13 champions that are waiting on a fresh new set of splashes: Annie Alistar Ashe Heimerdinger Garen Gangplank Karthus Kassadin Nasus MissFortune Renekton Sivir Sona

going back to Sion, he recently received a new set of skin splashes alongside Twitch Trundle Tristana Fiora Nidalee

I can't wait for an Ahri VU so her tails don't come out all over her ass down to her thighs.

"NEW REWORK BITCHESSSSSSSSS" Spot on bro, I feel the same way.

People love to shit on Riot employees but they put out some really incredible stuff. I might be one of the few but I think Galio's rework is fantastic. Ya old Galio had his charms and I think most attachment to him from people is due to nostalgia.

This new Galio screams protector to me. He looks like a hero and fits in Demacia so well. And then his new lore is really touching, he's sentient and existential. When he realizes humans are mortal and his friends are actually dying I couldn't help but go "Aww" out loud.

I actually played the new Sion for the first time the other week in aram and I thought he was awesome! He FEELS SO BIG. His attacks feel big, his model is big, his voice over is big.

it's too bad that the rework kits are garbage, does the good art a disservice

It's a shame Riot never did any follow up work on the bad reworks such as Karma's... but yeah, they've definitely improved.

But...RekSai Skarner Mordekaiser...in terms of visuals they are all good its mainly just the base movement on morde.

You'll have to add Morgana to that list because Riot have said multiple times that they'll rework Morgana and Kayle together.
