So... which champions are in need of a new model?

I have been looking at all the in-game models for League and some of those models look really bad. So I made a list below: Ahri - She could use a minor touch up and better animations for her tails (how they sit on her body in general) Corki - Too many polygons, doesn't look like a Yordle Evelynn - well obviously... Fiddlesticks - He's an old champion, could use a new model Gragas - Needs a better model, he looks way too blocky... and those feet tho Pantheon - Needs a new model, his big toe tho... Swain - duh... he needs one too Udyr - Well, he's one of the original champions, so I think he needs a new model Zilean - Needs a new model (VU)

NOTE: Shen, Taric, Poppy and Yorick do not count as they are getting one soon.

Also, Shen is confirmed for a Maokai/Alistar tier VU along with his Gameplay Update (this was confirmed by Scruffy on Twitter)

Mordekaiser definitely needs one. He could look like a much more badass, Sauron-inspired juggernaut with a better model.

Pantheon, Yorrick, Eve, Shen, Taric, Morde

Some I feel you missed and are on my personal "Need a VU badly" list include but are not limited to:

Nunu - derpy ass looking sonuvabitch. Akali - I feel like there's a ton of potential here that's kinda being missed. Would love to see a VU for her. Kennen - Compared to the modern standards of yordles Kennen SERIOUSLY needs some love. Teemo - See above. I mean come on, he doesn't even have elbows! Or knees! Irelia - Like Akali, but OH so much more. She just really doesn't hit the mark for me and I feel like her archetype of the indomitable warrior with the telepathy blade is sorely lacking. Blitzcrank - He actually gets around ok but I feel like he lacks a bit of life in his current form. A VU could extenuate his character in a big way. Dr. Mundo - So much potential for awesome here! SO MUCH.

That's all I've got atm. Might get some more in here later.

Ahri?? Lol, why do these threads always fail to stay serious. No Ahri is definitely far from being a priority, same for Swain. Amumu Anivia Blitzcrank Akali Fiddlesticks Evelynn Chogath Caitlyn Janna Jax KogMaw Rammus Olaf Morgana Shaco Ryze Teemo Veigar Warwick all of these and a bunch that were already mentioned in this thread are visually more outdated than Ahri.

Mordekaiser could actually look A-Mazing with a Maokai/SInged/Kassadin-level model update :D

Corki - Too many polygons, doesn't look like a Yordle

Too little poly count

Zyra could use one too. Her legs look weird.

Morgana desperately needs a new model.

Yeah, Pantheon's feet are still cartoonishly big.

Morgana is TINY. She looks bigger overall because of her wings but if you look at just her body it's way out of scale.

There was a popular discussion on Pantheon changes. Then Illaoi was revealed.

How can you forget about poor Mordekaiser?

Fiddlesticks need a Gangplank-level VU and GU. His current model's been around since the very beginning and comparing him to the other champions, yeah, he's pretty freakin' old. His abilities are also a bit lackluster.

Nunu, anivia, veigar, warwick, caitlyn, amumu, kennen, rumble...

Also!!! If anyone has a lot of experience with gimp or is able to join me in making a visual upgrade for some of my champ updates, lemme know!!! (Have amazing work atm)

I think Leona could stand with a model update.
