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

Moonboy65·Nov 15, 2015·8 votes·2,388 views

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.

He's actually pretty good, considering he was one of the original 40. But compared to more recent champions, his body seems pretty stiff.

Especially his Pentakill skin. That hair coming down his back looks like a brown cape. I say just remove it altogether and give him a voice supplement update like they did with Pentakill Karthus.

Are you serious? What the fuck is wrong with Yorick?

Um, his model? Tell me. What's out of date about Yorick's model?

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.

they confirmed a High-Res model of Nunu is already done, no news on when he'll get a VU

Yeah, I wish they'd just build Irelia again from the ground up. She has a really cool theme that wasn't explored very vastly

Thought no one was gonna mention Nunu. Nunu himself looks and acts really stupid, especially the way how he wobbles around on Willump's back, and Willump's face looks really retarded. Teemo is pretty bad too, although his actual face isn't too terrible. Still though, the way he fucking wiggles from side to side when he's walking is really bizarre.

Cho'Gath looks fine...

UomoAfideNov 16, 20153 votes

I agree. It might not be so incredible animation-wise, but i think that small texture update did something really good for his look. Sure, wouldn't be bad to see him updated, but right now he's not one of the worst imaginable.

You mean his classic skin? What about everything else? Have you SEEN the front of Nightmare Cho'Gath's face? It looks derpy as hell.

Yorick will get his right after Taric if my memory serves me right

MimyNov 16, 20151 votes

Yes kennen please and perhaps a nice skin with the visual up date.

But not a gameplay up date I cant lose anymore of my favorite marksmans.

GapyboNov 16, 20153 votes

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.

Moonboy65Nov 16, 20151 votes

Ahri only needs better animations for her tails (how they sit on her body/how they animate)

Ryze will eventually get a VU once Taric, Poppy, Shen and Yorick are out of the way

I agree with you on all of those except Ahri-- I believe her model isn't a priority.

I'd like to add in Kayle, Morgana, Anivia, Amumu, and most of all, Kennen. These all need visual updates as well as voice updates!

I'm not saying Ahri needs a new model, i mean her model needs a touch-up on how her tails stick on her body and how they animate

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.

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.

AkeneroNov 16, 20151 votes

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)
