Will LeBlanc be getting updated anytime soon?

I've recently kind of fallen in love with LeBlanc from her short story, but I can't help but notice that her in-game model and especially voicelines are pretty dated. She still mentions summoners and doesn't have any interactions with any other champions. I know there are well over 100 champions and the art and sound team have to take their time with what they work on, but I would be so excited to have some love this scheming, lying, deceitful woman.

Currently the only big reworks that are confirmed to be in the works are Fiddlesticks & Volibear , there are likely more in preproduction/early production, but we'll likely not hear about them until these 2 get released next year(likely in the first quarter). With that being said, there hasn't been much indication that riot has something planned for her, most of the time when they talk about top tier candidates for big updates they mention DrMundo Shyvana Nocturne Skarner Rammus Shaco Chogath Corki and maybe a few others that I'm missing, but not Leblanc.

If Leblanc got an ultimate/legendary skin or got some major plot development, then she might get a voice update but there is no telling when she'd get something like this.

I think, on the whole, the SA&S boards are like the most welcoming towards the idea of a LeBlanc rework and im confident that's because we're the most intuned to the lore of this character. You ask most of those frequent to SA&S, they usually base their ideas of who could/should have a rework because of compelling changes to the lore of that character.

I don't play assassins, so Im unlikely to ever pick her up, but I love the idea of LB receiving a VGU simply because she feels tonally incohesive to the stories we have, and there's a lot of untapped potential. Another reason is I personally hate her overall look, nothing about it seems too iconic not be changed. So I hope her visuals gets a pretty big overhaul. From the pointless cape, the makeup, and useless staff.

I think she'll get a smaller-scale rework and visual/voice overhaul eventually, but Riot said that, from now on, they're putting their full priority into champions who are in the greatest need of reworks, especially in terms of their kit. LeBlanc's kit, while problematic, still functions quite well, and much better than the five champions who were on the poll this year (and thus confirmed for reworks). So I think she'll eventually get something, but we'll need to wait for champions in worse cases to get their due before her.
