Champion Models

I was just wondering, since we're updating all these champions and splasharts and such if we could get some new models for certain champions. Some of the champions I had in mid are:

Irelia Morgana Ryze Udyr Urgot

And then also making some of the in game models for skins look a little better, and look more like their splash like:

Obsidian Malphite Goth Annie Aviator Irelia Vandal Jax Imperial Lux Riot Girl Tristana (Update Splash) Heartseeker Vayne Vandal Vladimir

These are just some of the skins/splasharts/champions I think need a little bit more of an update to keep in touch with the rift. I mean you have this beautiful update map but still have triangle feet running around (Ryze), And have hair just sticking up in random directions (Irelia and Heartseeker Vayne). I just think that some of the art/models in the game needs to be updated to fit the look of the game.

It's rather complicated right now, because the Champion Update team is currently working on several projects and have very limited art resources already which they focus mostly on full VGUs (Like Sion, Poppy and Taric's).

They also found that there's much more value from working on two or three VGUs (which require a lot of art resources) and on one roster update (which is gameplay-focused for the most part) at a time, rather than individual gameplay updates and visual-only updates.

Meaning that we'll usually get VUs when it's high-priority VGUs (Champs in strong need of big updates, sometimes being completely built from the ground up) or when it's a lore event (Bilgewater: Burning Tides and Miss Fortune is a good example of this).

-_-

P.S- Worth noting that Singed already got a visual update and splash update at the same time, so there's no need for an update there, and that Ryze is currently being worked on and will get a VGU (probably) sometime this year.
