So About The Next Champion Roadmap..

Please tell me Janna is on that list.

I'm deeply appreciative of the work Riot does to bring older champions into the fold, and while there are others who are in far more need than Janna, mainly Mordekaiser and Pantheon, it's seems odd, to me, that Janna hasn't been updated yet. Not out of need, but out of simplicity.

From a visual standpoint, Janna is one of the far more simplistic looking champions, part of the reason why she has so many skins. Though there are many Janna mains who feel that Janna is in need of an entire VGU, I myself think she's really only in need of a VU. Her newer skins, Sacred Sword and Bewitching, are incredibly up to date, and by comparison to Janna's Classic, make it look incredibly outdated, to the point that if Janna did receive a VU, Bewitching and Sacred Sword wouldn't even have to be updated, visual speaking. In truth, all Janna needs is an update to her Classic model, to better fit in with her new role as a spirit/goddess protector, and to her Tempest skin, so it's more than a black chroma, and to have all her older skins receive the same hair effects that her newer skins possess.

This and a updated voice over, and Janna would fall perfectly in line with the rest of the up to date cast. Honestly, with far along the creative teams have come, they could probably finish this in a months time, at most.

She doesnt need a VGU more than Morde, Pantheon, Fiddle and Mundo do (in this order, Morde needs a full VGU asap).

Does she has a skill that needs to be changed? A skill that doesn't fit into her kit? Riot doesn't do visual only updates. Ezreal got his because his W had to change. They had plans to change Ahri's W so I expect her to be next.
