Would it make sense to have Visual Updates for certain old skins?

We have Champion Updates, and we get skins redone through that. But what about specific skins, especially those that belong to a bigger skin-line?

The aesthetics of skins and skin-lines get solidified and improved for every new addition, but that also makes some of the old skins seem outdated next to the new ones. For skin-lines specifically: Battlecast Xerath looks very different to the newer Battlecast skins; Void Nocturne looks very different to Void Fizz; Headhunter Yi looks different to Headhunter Akali; or just looking at the entire Hextech-line.

Do you think there would be enough value in updating them to match the more refined and developed look of newer skins for there to be a Skin Update-project similar to the Champion Update-project?


Bonus question: Would *renaming *skins make sense? Either to better fit the skin or to include it into another established skin-line.

You mean they should unify all the skin appearances that share the same skin line names (like FM Rammus and Pantheon with FM Jayce).

Actually, Battlecast Xerath was changed with the TU of Xerath. Now, he fits with the other battlecast (except for the particles, maybe)

I think this makes sense. I mean, it probably wouldn't happen to often except in the cases of your examples like the Headhunter and Hextech lines. Hope Riot keeps this in mind.
