I thought I would see Varus receive a VO Update during the Darkin Lore Update

Couple months ago. A Rioter (can't recall who exactly) was discussing VO Updates for both Varus and Miss Fortune on Reddit that were planned to start development once they got out some of their priorities out of the way, such as: the Season 8 Balancing (after Runes Reforged went live).

I know there are still other priorities that need to be done first but I just thought it would of been awesome if it were to be released all together with the Darkin Lore update, as it would make more sense I suppose. Because currently (and i'm not the only one thinking this) people are struggling to see how Varus fits the position of a Darkin for number of reasons...

  • Visually very different.
  • Lore confusion (some people are still wondering why he deserved to become an ascended).
  • Varus having a very distintive Darkin name (and the inconsistency with the ("double AA thing").

Reason as to why Varus needed and still does need a VO Update is because his lore (that was slightly updated for the 2nd time) doesn't have any kind of references about the events from his past (Icathian War, becoming an a Ascended). His current voice references some old parts of his old Lore.

###What do you guys think?

Do you think that Varus and Miss Fortune are going to receive the VO update any time soon?

##EDIT: Found a link to the Reddit Riot discussion about his potential Voice Over Update...

I'm scared...

The Lore has improved a lot but if they have to make another "inclusion moment" with Varus VO then I'd gladly leave the old one until Social Justice doesn't dictate the artistics and thematics of videogames.

I think that Riot should wait for the release of her sister before updating his VO.

And the double Aa thing is a joke.

Its not like Riot made any promise to have a new VO for Varus released alongside Aatrox.

Edit: why are you booing me, I'm right.
