@Ironstylus: Who are the "worst offenders" in terms of visuals?

You claim Champions like Akali, MF, etc., are not the highest priority for visual updates. May I ask who is highest priority?

Yikers.. hard to nail down. But we do have a hit list, but that list isn't necesarilly gone through by worst -> best. We also hit champions where we have opportunity.

On my personal list, however:

Taric Morgana Ryze - would be my top 3.

Followed by..

Poppy Kassadin DrMundo

The list would goes on as well.. Mordekaiser Chogath Caitlyn are also up there.

Whoops, forgot to add Evelynn

Nerf?

Probably not.

Cover up?

...maybe.

One things that's always bugged me about her visuals is her visual for her Q. Why is a lawnmower blade being launched through a sniper rifle? You think this could be addressed when re-designing her? Like, look at this thing, it clearly doesn't fit. And while her HH skin fits it better, it's still a nightmare

SolumindraNov 19, 20143 votes

Could there be more eye-candy skins, since your team seems dead set on removing all eye- candy......-_-

GreenLoreJul 26, 20152 votes

I doubt they want to remove the fanservice from everyone,just the champs where its unfitting. It makes sense for champs like Ahri Cassiopeia Elise Evelynn Janna Jinx MissFortune Nami Nidalee Sivir Zyra to give us some fanservice.

But caitlyn?A professional sniper and sheriff?Not really....

SolumindraJul 28, 20151 votes

Except for the fact that has been her character since her release. I like her current look, if they change it AFTER THE FACT I BOUGHT IT. I should have either A. A refund option or B. The option to play the old style.

Riot changing all of this post purchase is getting on my last nerve, making me really detest the game/ the company/ the individual rioters who change it. And i won't be buying anymore RP or skins simply because they obviously do not care what the consumer wants.

GreenLoreJul 28, 20151 votes

If you buy a game and then they'll patch something into the game that changes something in a way that you don't like,do you expect them to give you your money back?

SolumindraJul 29, 20151 votes

League is literally the only game where they change the look of skins you purchase. THE ONLY ONE.

There is a large large large difference in a patch like Guilty Gear AC+ to AC+R where the characters still look the same, than changing the entire look of a character that you bought based on a totally different look.

But i liked the first and second Fiora VU :(

Please don't cover up Caitlyn. I actually like the way she's designed. :)

ArcticSiriusNov 17, 20142 votes

Are some of these easier to crack than others (I know you've said you've been having problems with Morde and Taric), or are they all sorta up in the air? Don't need specifics, just asking :/

CuixNov 17, 20144 votes

Can... Can Morg get a torso with actual room for organs, please? Eventually? I mean, sexy is fine, and she can be sexy, but I'd like it if she was more than boobs+wings+dress with bits of string connecting it all.

And Evelynn is there too, right?

Also, are Teemo (I'm asking seriously), Rumble and Ezreal somewhere on the list? Actually, how is the YUP (Yordle Unification pass) is going in general? Other than Trist and Poppy (which is probably a ways off), are there any other yordles in the pipeline? Really now, is Teemo on the list somewhere?

TheTuringMachineNov 17, 20142 votes

This is a perfect list I would say. These are all champions I desperately want to see reimagined!

What does your list go by? It'd be nice to know your thought process on updating champions. Do you see the lore events as opportunities?

I thought the team was just repainting the popular champions (mainly 'wives'). So happy. Taric, Morgana and Ryze are certainly three of the most outdated models. Together with Kass' animations, Mundo's face and Poppy's... whole structure.

RueianJul 28, 20151 votes

to be honest, i think mundo is probably one of the early champions that aged the best with the game, even though he isn't refined visually, he gets everything he needs to across clearly and doesn't look absolutely terrible like Mr. Pizza feet.

AmightyTNov 15, 201414 votes

Mordekaiser Taric The pizza feet are strong with these ones (Pantheon has huge feet so I'm counting him among the tribe)

XinZhao He's so shiny in the new rift it hurts my eyes!

Shaco Chogath Zilean Some things don't get better with age

Vladimir Fear the red silly puddy!

AbodyHUN666Nov 15, 20142 votes

I think Cho actually looks nice when he is big, because of his size, but he should get a visual update. Maybe a kit update too because I have no idea where his Q and W spikes are coming from.

catravenNov 15, 20145 votes

I have no idea where his Q and W spikes are coming from.

uhhm...couldn't be the void could it....

AbodyHUN666Nov 15, 20142 votes

I mean he has no body part to to shoot those spikes like Khazix. If you say he opens a portal to the void by stomping the ground and has a spiky friend on the other side waiting for the moment that guy should be included in Cho's lore and splash art.

RoyaiChaosNov 15, 20141 votes

Taric, Poppy, and Eve are probably the ones Riot is working on atm, although that latter two will probably take quite a while to finish. Morde, Cho, Shaco, Zilean and Panth will probably come after with only minor changes, perhaps Singed level? in will most likely just be given a TU to reduce his brightness, and I think Vlad looks fine, at least in comparison to the others mentioned.

vscAlohaNov 17, 20141 votes

Hmm, I am suprised Kog'Maw didn't make it onto the list. There's just not much to him, I guess. Anyway, at least you know it's Kog'Maw when he's coming at you.

GreenLoreNov 16, 20146 votes

Morgana is green,with paper wings and looks NOTHING like her in her splash art(her make-up is also completely different)

Malphite is far too small and looks simply unimpressive

Taric because taric

DrMundo is too small and his shirt looks like it is painted on

There are many others that need a vu/TU too,like Chogath Warwick Udyr and Mordekaiser

Linna ExcelNov 15, 20145 votes

I was going to guess Poppy or Eve, but they have a lot of leg work to do. It's at least going to be one of the older champs but they've done several of the older offenders already.

Hmm, this is tough.

darkdillNov 15, 20142 votes

Exactly why I'm asking the parrot.

My present hope is Warwick.

Linna ExcelNov 15, 20141 votes

Well, who do you think should be the highest priority?

darkdillNov 15, 20144 votes

Not entirely sure. Probably Taric, WW, Kassadin, and maybe Tristana.

5G8Nri0B54Nov 15, 20144 votes

If I had to guess... Malphite by way of being a tiny rock midget in-game when the splash art shows he's apparently supposed to be Cho'gath-sized.

AbodyHUN666Nov 15, 20147 votes

For a long time I thought his head was actually a nose and he was a big weird face with legs and arms...

insaiyanbaccaNov 19, 20143 votes

lol i may or may not have originally thought the same

AbodyHUN666Nov 20, 20142 votes

Glad to hear that I may or may not have been the only one :D

5G8Nri0B54Nov 19, 20144 votes

I worry what MissFortune , Akali , and Caitlyn 's VU would become depending on who is handling them.

I'd be happy with them just getting a TU, a new pair of feet, and modified hair physics, as I suspect they'd get screwed over like Sejuani if Riot decides to give female champions a full-on VU.

Even worse is they aren't even making Traditional skins for VU'd champions anymore if Karthus and Sion is anything to go by, which makes the idea of those 3 female champions getting a VU even more concerning.

BlazecreamNov 15, 20143 votes

I'd have to say Ashe, Irelia, Xin Zhao, and Nocturne.

iChibuGummyB3arNov 20, 20141 votes

Nocturne really? I think he looks fairly decent. didn't he get a visual update not too long ago to match his new splash?

BlazecreamJul 26, 20151 votes

In game he looks trash to me, and his umbra blades are reddish gold, which don't really match his black dark theme.

OleandervineNov 15, 20143 votes

Poppy is getting a full blown relaunch, not just an update, but even she's second in line behind the potato crab. Urgot has a DIRE need of a visual update so that he doesn't look like a WoW abomination that wandered out of Mojoverse. After those though, definitely Taric and the other Pizza Feeters, including Udyr who looks horrible.

QMightyNov 17, 20143 votes

Morgana Nunu Taric Udyr Urgot Warwick DrMundo are the ones I'd most like to see, in order. Also, where are the yodles going? (all of them from before look horrible) Kennen Poppy Tristana Veigar Amumu Rumble Teemo

KhaZix BotNov 15, 20142 votes

Everyone always ignores that fact that Cho'Gath looks like a pile of sausage links.

exiledFromBadmenNov 15, 20142 votes

Mordekaiser Taric

Pizza feet syndrome.

iChibuGummyB3arNov 18, 20142 votes

Has everyone forgotten about my baby Yorick ?? I think he really needs a visual update and better skins. He's so ugly... I got kicked from 3 ranked teams last season XD. I'm serious... I got kicked 3 times XD

5G8Nri0B54Nov 19, 20141 votes

He needs more than just a VU...

I suspect he'd get the Sion treatment..........in other words we wouldn't see anything about him till....a year a two from now.

iChibuGummyB3arNov 20, 20141 votes

Ouch that sucks, I was hoping to see at least a visual update for the time being while they work on a rework or something or the sorts.

551202Nov 17, 20141 votes

2 extreme case with outdated model:

Kassadin He is THE critical case (as empty as the void)

Warwick His nudity can offence some players (we can see his asses o_o, im not asking to give him clothes... he just need bigger asses plz , he is too skinny and so small item 3151 )
