Riot - Ezreal's VGU: What does this mean for Pulsefire Ezrea?

Riot, with Ezreal's VGU having been announced, this means he's the first champion EVER to have an ultimate skin that's being rebuilt from the ground up with the rest of the skins and animations and everything else.

What are your planned directions with Pulsefire? What treats and perks will you do to it to differentiate it from the other Pulsefire skins and also elevate it to Ultimate levels? With GGMF and Exo, how will Ezreal and his AI give us a new experience that isn't given to us with GGMF?

This is brand new territory for the champ update team, and the scope of redoing Ezreal + his skins plus basically making an entire new champion of sorts with an Ultimate skin is exciting. How long do you expect it to take doing an Ultimate skin VGU alongside the rest of him?

I'm glad that it is confirmed that the skin is also getting brand new splash art.

They probably won't redo the voice over for it since that was updated with the smaller update they gave it last year. Cause it'd would have been honestly pointless for them to have updated the VO in the way they did if they were planning to just redo it 100%. We know they will redo the base VO 100% but I'm feeling the VO on Pulsefire is gonna stay.

They did say it will have a brand new model though just like the rest of his skins.

Ezreal's pulsefire skin has been updated once already in the past, so it wouldn't be the first. The skin likely won't be a massive change, and I don't actually expect it to be massive update, rather some polishing done to him and his skins.

I'd like to see a rioter comment on this, especially as to the point of updating it last year when it's getting completely overhauled so soon.
