What V(G)U Are YOU Most Excited For?
I put G in () because it can also just be a VU. What champion(s) are you most excited for when they get VGUs? Not who do you think needs it most, who would you play a ton once they got it?
For me, it's:

Yordles. I want to see them after YUP. Especially Veigar as you've noted. Rn he's just a potato.
All I want is for them to remove the boob-plates and heels. Maybe give her a helmet and an actual passive so she can solo lane/jungle.
,because I really like his style and general theme,but I don't like his current gameplay.
: Cause that dudes model and lore are so out of date, that it transferred onto Singed as well.
: Meh Master of Evil needs some high polygon love. Imagine his dark cosmic abilities updated in this new LoL artstyle.
: The last remaining big foot of Mount Targon. His newer skins gives us a glimpse of what he could be.
: Scarecrow is in visual hell and in lore limbo right now.
Cho'Gath Mordekaiser Nocturne I think these have a lot of potential to look absolutely badass
Morgana and Kayle. Maybe Sivir. The OG Targon 3.

is a personal preference since was the first jungler i've ever played. I'm really interested on what will be done with 
rework though.
- Lets face it, he has taken old yorick's place of being forgotten
- Rather interested on how they work with her
- Heavily hoping that his stealth has more counter play against
- Just feels like he's in a really bad spot right now and desperately hope they can salvage him to be playable again (and hopefully keep the dragon)
Yordles, especially
Pantheon, Urgot, Warwick, Mordekaiser, and Galio.
And I guess Irelia because I hate her current kit to the core of my soul and want it gone.
metal and lightning, please
hoping for more juggernauts to be made from this list
I am kinda curious as to how Corki will turn out
For me, it's:
Although I've never feared a VGU, I've got quite the dread inside, when I think about Riot giving Tryndamere such a big update. Tryndamere, my first main ever and second champion ever bought (who I still play occasionally), possibly completely reimagined? So weird to think about, but that dread is mixed with a lot of (hesitant) excitement, with the thought that he might finally fit the Freljord better, show some of his weird relationship with himself (Barbarian gone formally political to the extent of sometimes being very peaceful on the outside, I guess? As well as the mental scars from that massacre on his folk). It's gonna be very interesting.
With Urgot, he was my second main and one of the champions who simply hold a very special place in my heart. The difference between him and Tryndamere, is that I'm much more excited for him not being a weird, outdated mess (in most aspects), and I can already see the potential of a VGU for him.
Nunu is one I've wanted an update for since I realized I love him in Season 3. I remember posting ideas for his VU on the old forums that got me the first reply from a Rioter (I'm so sorry I can't remember the name. The post has since been deleted, somewhy). ;P
Mundo and Amumu I've got pretty cool ideas for which I'm saving for posts I'll probably make in the future.
Skarner and Morde have tons of potential, too, and are two I really wanna see finally be done right.
Evelynn if it ever happens... I'm also a pretty heavy Veigar player so him too, but I'm sure that will be a long time from now.
Hmm personally I tend to get more worried about upcoming champion updates rather than excited for them. Part of that is my tiny champ pool and the fact that one of the batch of updates took one of my few champions and made her unplayable for me.
But if the upcoming champions the only ones that really effect me are Pantheon and Urgot. Now, if Riot just said for Panth "Yeah we're just going to make his model look more like his picture. Get rid of that idiotic diaper give him proper pteruges make his shield actually circular, drop a sandal size or five, and balance out his gameplay so he's slightly less of a bully early game and falls off slightly less late game all while keeping him a spear chucking always pushing forward beast." Well that would be a dream come true. But it's looking more like they're trying to push him into being a space themed champion like his new lore. Which is not at all why I play him.
Meanwhile Urgot I play for 2 reasons: he's a horrifying grotesque monster, basically the best one Riot has designed. And his current kit fits perfectly to negate champions I have trouble playing against top or mid with my mains. So, if his gameplay drastically changes he'll probably not be able to do that anymore.
However there is one champion that I totally feel needs a rework and it should get done as a priority. Mordekaiser, because what they did to that champion was all kinds of bullshit. Seriously, rework a champion in such a way as to piss off all his old mains, then design him around a trick, realize that trick was unbalanced, and nerf him down to oblivion so any new people that like him will also jump ship. That's just mean.
