So is Fiora to get a recall?

Since the updates, almost every champ with a full kit update got one, like GP and Poppy, so where is Fiora's?

Fiora's VU, like Alistar Kassadin or Shen , didn't come with an entirely new set of animations. Just animations to support the new kits & some updates to the walking animations. A new Recall (well, an ACTUAL recall) was out of the scope of the project. Just like how they didn't receive an update to the VO.

Fiora is unlikely to get a recall anytime soon. It would probably be when they go back to update her visually, which likely wouldn't be for a few years.

I think they're just happy no one is talking about Fiora after the whole horrible VU debacle and god tier tank-Fiora.

Shen didn't get one, but got a VGU. And his ult is still just the old recall painted purple.

Shen's VU was smaller than full VGUs (Sion, Poppy, Taric)- He didn't get both particle and animation updates (Aside from his Ult's animation). It was basically just an update to his model & textures and his kit.

Well a VGU is a full visual gameplay update.

It was basically just an update to his model & textures and his kit.

Sounds like a VGU. I can understand it was a smaller VGU but... eh it felt like not 110% effort went into it, more like 90%.

A full VGU -Like Sion, Poppy, Taric- would usually mean:

Major lore changes
Thematic changes/modernization
Model & Textures updates
Splash & ability icons update
Rig & Animation update
Particles/VFX updates
Completely new SFX
New voiceover
New kit

-_-

Now, "modernization"/"small" VGU -Like Tristana and Gangplank and soon Ryze too- would be like "full VGUs" but with more emphasis on the 'modernization' part of the update rather than super big changes to almost everything, and this would usually mean one or two of the following things:

Less kit changes than full VGUs
Less lore changes than full VGUs
Less thematic changes than full VGUs

-_-

And lastly, in the "VGUs department", we have the smaller modernization updates- Like Shen, Fiora or Miss Fortune- and in comparison to full VGUs/bigger modernizations, those usually:

Lack changes in animation
Lack changes in particles/VFX
Lack big changes for their thematic/visual concept
Lack changes in voiceover
Lack big changes in SFX
