You know who I'd like to see get a VGU?

Annie, but it's not for what you think.

Annie gives us a perspective of Valoran that no other champion gives, that of a child. Yet she looks like a modern day girl with that backpack and clothing style.

Where's the Noxus fashion? The inside look at what Noxus might be like for kids! If they keep her somewhat related to Noxus I mean.

Exactly what I thought about for quite a few months, Ralanr! Good job pointing that out. They simply could make Classic Annie a free skin and give it a fitting name.

A bit like they did with Gangplank, giving him the Captain skin for free first, but even simpler, without creating a new skin at all.

They made Gangplank less ''Piratey McPirate'', or like IronStylus and various others called it, removing a cliche archetype from the game, that has nothing to do with Valoran… though I never straightly heard them talking about making Olaf less ''Olaf Vikingson'' and Annie less ''Kawaiidesu Grill''.

At least Rioters pointed out several times, that Pantheon needs to be changed to not being a random Spartan from 300 and actually match to Targon and the Aspects.

Do you remember the Annie drawing from the concept art book?

Riot is already aware of what you've mentioned. As you'll notice she's depicted differently from her ingame model.

I didn't get the book. Can I find the picture on the internet?

Yes

Edit: Just in case you haven't found it yet. http://digitalpainting.school/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/illustrations_league_legends_artists_6.jpg

Edit2: sorry I copied the original image link from the League Wiki but it seems that was rather small, so I've replaced that with a larger one now.

Wait do you mean the pictures with the burning house in the background?

She's not vastly different from her ingame but Riot definitely don't like the school bag & cat ears as they're gone. Also looks like different hair colour too, more natural.

It's honestly amazing.

Pretty cool but I'd prefer if they kept her hair colour the same.

That way she wouldn't feel so different from the current Annie.

Yeah, Annie's fashion always felt like they didn't fit in the world of Runeterra. Unless there's some isolated region with modern day clothing.

Annie for the longest time was the only champion to age (And i think still is), Pretty sure she went from 9-10 to 14 now, at this rate she should be around 18/19 Now, but then you got them fuckin Pedos and oh god, we can't let that shit happen.

Looks younger than 9 to me, in fact she's never seemed any older than that ever. Really not sure what gave you a 10-14 impression.

HOW ABOUT NO??? Champions like Swain look like blurry pixel triangles, and you want Annie to get ANOTHER visual update?
