Is EVERY champion getting a splash art update?

I understand that Riot is in the process of updating the splash art of champions who needs an update.But with the update of 's & 's,both of which weren't in need of an updated splash art (at least in comparison to champs who do need one),it seems like everyone is getting an update.

   So what is the extent of these updates?

Is it every champ released before or who hasn't been updated in 2014? Is it possible that even , & (champs who were released THIS YEAR) are getting one as well? Are champions with perfectly fine splash arts still getting an update like , or ? Or is there a stopping point where you feel a splash art is fine as it is right now? Finally,have these questions already been answered somewhere else?

     This isn't a thread about the quality of the new splash art,sbut about the quantity of the new splash arts.I am just curious to see how far this goes.

It seems like no splash is currently safe.

But are no in-game models coming too for characters that look nothing like their splash anymore? (Well, namely Cho Gath and Kog Maw at the moment ,but I'm guessing this'll happen with other champions too.)

Well,Riot is also doing a mass texture update with every character.So they maybe planning to update all the models of those who need one.

Look at Trist for example.Her new art depicts her with cat ears whereas her in game model still have the pointed elf ears.Obviously,Riot would have the new splash art match the in-game model.

If they don't do something about this,then that just negligent on their part.Hopefully,they are updating models as well.It currently would fit with their Visual update project they're working on right now.

So,it looks like they are updating in game models where they are needed.

Braum and Yasuo, champions this year are not getting VUs

Annie and Diana should be fine

You are honestly saying that Amumu's splash art is fine? Like Amumu himself, the art in comparison to recent splashes puts him off as practically ancient.

Amumu really was just an example.You could have replaced him with Fiddlesticks Ashe Pantheon Ryze TwistedFate or any other champ with good splash art.

In my opinion,yes Amumu's currently splash art is fine.Sure it doesn't have an EPIC POSE,with DYNAMIC CAMERA ANGLES & DEEP VALUES (shading & lighting) like all the new splash art have.But it still depicts the character of Amumu. But it doesn't matter if it's fine to me,what matters is if it's fine with Riot.

They'll redo the splashes of everyone who doesn't meet the current quality bar. Right now, considering that Rengar and Ahri had updated splash, it's safe to say that everyone released before Rengar's up for a new splash. Could even go closer to new releases depending on what Riot thinks of the splashes.

I think most champs who got released(or a new splash art) after rengar are rather safe,many older splash arts have a noticeable smaller depiction of the champ than the new ones and are usually lacking in terms of background,those are the most likely to get new splash arts.

Also Yasuo was released last year,not this year.
