Updating Legacy and Older Legendary Skins to Current "Legendary" Standards?

Guide to Skin Price Tiers

Will legacy legendary skins ever be updated, or are there any plans for updates on them in the future? I'm talking visual updates to make them legendary by current standards. Some skins can be misleading, such as Gentleman Cho'Gath, being a legendary you expect new particles and effects, a voice-over, & new textures and that is not what you get. Some parts are great, but something to really make them legendary would be nice, (I.E. new effects). I mean, some of the more current 1350RP skins are better than these listed, such as Dragonwing Corki, Pool Party Mundo and even Soulstealer Vladimir, in my opinion. Of course they have nostalgic value for being legacy or some of the first skins, updates to current standards should be included in Visual Updates at least; like Annie's VGU where they ignored Annie in Wonderland. I sure hope with the upcoming Galio update they retouch Gatekeeper Galio. Just my two cents on the topic. I own all legendary skins except Annie in Wonderland and Zombie Brand (planning on getting next October), I just feel like some of them could use some retouching or adding to them. I understand there's a lot that's changed and you have the right to not use them or just not get them. That's not my point, my point is that by current standards, as per Riot, these skins are not Legendary aside from nostalgic value, and as such should be updated to be what they were intended. Most already have voice-overs, and extensive re-textures, so the main addition would be for the visual effects. Thanks for reading and hope you agree with what I'm trying to say.

These skins seem kind of lack-luster for being legendary:

ikr, they updated Tristana Annie Heimerdinger and TwistedFate but didnt update their legendary skins... And those champs have better skins at lower prices.

Red Baron Corki Ice Toboggan Corki Gentleman Cho Magnificent Twisted Fate Annie in Wonderland Demonblade Tryndamere Alien Heimerdinger Corporate Mundo Brolaf Nunu Bot Bloodlord Vladimir Gatekeeper Galio Firefighter Tristana

all those skins actually worth 750 to 1350 RP now, there should be price reduction or update!

Galio is on the Champion Update Schedule so yes, Gatekeeper Galio will be updated

Pulsefire Ezreal needs to be touched up too, it's old and the other two legendary skins far outclass it texture wise.

In a word, No.

In a few more words...

There was a very large thread on the old forums concerning MTF and how it didn't look as good as other legendaries.

Riot simply announced that they weren't going to upgrade it because it would be the exact same amount of work but would not be financially viable (or something like that). This was confirmed in the Visual Upgrade done a few years ago.

I find it really funny how in the price listing Ultimate skins are listed as having New Voice overs. DJ Sona is standing around like Bitch Where?

I'm surprised that Surprise Party Fiddlesticks wasn't included. It's considered a Legendary skin, but didn't receive the full treatment; ofc he has new icons, new vfx and sfx, but he has no new VO, no taunt and joke animation, and no recall animation.

It feels more like an Epic skin than a Legendary, and it's starting to lose its quality when newer and better Legendary skins are pumping out each year.

Either Riot needs to update his Legendary skin, OR give him a new Legendary skin.

They had said they won't.

I've been waiting with magnificent tf for years, I even managed to get a refund of the skin past my 3 refunds I used 5 years ago

Then I got the skin again when it went on sale for an event :p

Cause you never know

They said they won't update the skins but they also promised compensation for the pantheon fiasco and promised they would never sell skins that went into the vault originally

Hell we might get king Rammus for sale too you never know with rito!

I love how the ultimate skins show the not as liked as much as DJ Sona Ezreal and Udyr skins.

BengiPrimeLOL9/18/2016, 1:41:03 PM1 votes

I would be upset if they changed red baron corki, brolaf, or corporate mundo

To be fair with Brolaf, they can't really update particles except the axe throw in Undertow, which they did
