Can Riot comment on if we're going to get Ezreal tier VgUs in the future?

I was expecting to see comment on this in the champion roadmap but haven't seen anything. I would really like to hear something about it and if there are plans for me because I really enjoyed the update. Jax, Kennen, Blitz. Honestly, VFX updates are nice but they're kinda sweeping the bigger issues under a rug.

Its something we are still open to do in the future, though we don't currently have any projects like that in development

Champions that need some levels of visual update to be on part with newest champions/update champions , and/or need a visual update so that they match their lore appearances.

Ahri Amumu Anivia AnnieAshe Blitzcrank Caitlyn Chogath Corki DrMundo Fiddlesticks Gragas Graves Hecarim Janna JayceJarvanIV Jax Kennen KogMawLeblanc LeeSin Leona Lulu Lux Malphite Malzahar MasterYi Mordekaiser Nidalee Nocturne Olaf Pantheon Rammus Riven Rumble Shaco Shyvana Singed Skarner Talon Teemo Tryndamere Udyr Vayne Viktor Vladimir Volibear Xerath XinZhao Ziggs Zilean Veigar

So yeah Riot, you aint even close at finishing the job. Some need Full Relaunches, while some need Large Visual Updates, and some need small model tweaks (clothing change).

Some champions that are visually alright need some levels of update (be it voice over, splash arts, or new animation): Brand Cassiopeia Garen Darius Diana Draven Kassadin Karma MissFortune Nautilus Quinn Shen Sona Soraka TwistedFate Varus Vi MonkeyKing

Here is also a separate list of all the champions that need an update to their Voice over, to reflect the lore changes that happened to them (these champions could be in one of the two previous lists above, but this will mostly focus on champions that have currently canon lore):

Ahri Anivia Annie Ashe Azir Blitzcrank Brand Caitlyn Cassiopeia Darius Diana DrMundo Draven Ekko Elise Fiora Fizz Galio Gangplank Garen Graves Hecarim Heimerdinger JarvanIV Jax Jayce Jhin Jinx Kalista Karma Karthus Kassadin Katarina Leona Lissandra Lux MasterYi MissFortune Mordekaiser Nami Nasus Nautilus Nidalee Nocturne Olaf Orianna Pantheon Quinn Renekton Rengar Riven Ryze Sejuani Shen Shyvana Singed Sivir Skarner Sona Soraka Swain Syndra Taliyah Thresh Trundle Tryndamere TwistedFate Udyr Varus Vayne Veigar Velkoz Vi Viktor Vladimir Volibear Warwick MonkeyKing Xerath XinZhao Yasuo Zed Ziggs Zyra

Lots of things to update, both small and large when you list it all out which puts things into perspective.

Reav3:

Fiddlesticks , DrMundo and Skarner are still options for these

Champs like Fiddle, Mundo, Skarner and such are still high on our list for VGUs. I didn't say we were stopping VGUs, just doing a bit less going forward then we have been doing recently

I’m dying for a blitzcrank one

Add Corki, Kog'Maw, and Cho'Gath to that list. There are still quite a few older champs who need some work.

Ezreal lvl vgu happened because he had one useless and pointless ability. The only other champ I can think of being in the same boat as Ez is Ahri.

Talon

Probably should get a small-scale visual upgrade as well. Man’s got scoliosis since his release in s2 pre-season.

I can't remember where I heard it, so take it with a grain of salt, but I think I remember them saying that they didn't have any plans for Ezreal level VgUs in the future.
