Who do you predict being the visual upgrade after Aatrox ?
As far as i know Volibear and Morde are on the radar. Any wildcards come to mind?

Akali. She's doesn't need it as much as others and is performing perfectly well. That meets riots check list
To be honest,Akalis character theme is incredibly bland.
Every ninja has something that makes them stand out not only compared to the other ninjas,but to ALL other champions.
is a spirit warrior
is a shadow manipulator
is the electro master
And what has Akali?She is a ninja with boobs and thats it. Her only unique theme is just a female version of a theme that is already present several times in the game.
I agree. I think that she doesn't really have anything iconic or unique about her, so Riot could rework her entire theme without the backlash they got from Swain. Whether it's moving away from the ninja theme entirely or finding a better niche for her to fill, like a specific magical power, she just needs something to make her stand out.
I think she will keep the ninja theme(honestly that is the only theme she has right now and riot always kept at least one theme of the character),but she definetly needs something new,just like Shen.
The question would be what they could add to her and as for current Akali I think there are 2 things that they might emphasize. The first one would be her smoke bomb,they could turn Akali into some kind of smoke/mist-themed ninja. The other one would be her twin disciples,they could turn akali into a character that wields 2 opposing elements,like light and dark or fire and ice(fire and ice could also fit with the smoke bomb,as she just smacks both elements together to create mist)
But its also possible that she'll just get something entirely new.
Also, she is just unfun to play against. No matter what. She needs her kit to be reworked because she does too much frickin' damage, and gets pretty tanky as well. It's virtually impossible to play against her.
From a visual standpoint,
and
are at the top for me.
Story wise,
,
and
are all horrendously outdated, and have basically no place in the current lore.
Gameplay wise though, I think that
and
need it the most.
please.
He’s not getting a visual update, just gameplay.
will be the CertainlyT VGU, Im 99% sure
are the only other options but I doubt its them.

is basically deconfirmed, Riot said that they are taking a break from Zaun Champions.
Kayle/Morgana dual VGU is seeming very likely. (Wrekz working on a "minor VGU" - that has to be Morgana because her kit is okay - and August working on a female VGU, is that Kayle?) Other highlights include Nunu, Pantheon, Morde, Fiddle, and Voli. Akali is also possible but 2 Ionian women in a row...? Meh.
Morgana's kit isn't ok, we only believe it to be ok because we come to like what we have to deal with. Her kit is just like old Galio's was - it's conflicted because of the two dualities that have a rough time coming together. Her basic play style fishes with Q to set up W from a million miles away, but then her R comes in is like "GUESS WHAT, YOU NEED TO MELEE THEM NOW!" and to me it just creates this major disconnect with her overall kit design. Furthermore, her R wants her, a super squishy at most points in the game, to be in the middle of a fight using it, which often means that she'll die unless she's building tanky. And then there's E. Black Shield is a bit of an overloaded shield for being a basic ability. No other champion that I can think of can offer a shield that can negate a specific type of damage at such high levels, while also rendering CC completely useless. When the shield is strong, it's the most OP thing ever, which is why it's kept in the state it's in. Overall, Morgana needs more than just visual work done. She needs a full kit overhaul that allows her to have a fluid kit that isn't so schizophrenic.

Even a minor VGU still includes a gameplay update. Which in this case, would probably include a new ult, and balance and mechanical changes to her remaining skills.
