Hey,
has anyone noticed yet that there is a picture named “WARWICK MODEL REWORK CONCEPT“ on Warwicks Univeres Champion page ( http://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/champion/warwick )? Its seems to be his new model for his VGU and I think it looks pretty cool!

DwarvenGiant7 votesChampUP QA guy, Ququroon, put a disclaimer on Twitter that this concept art is about 3 years old, and this wasn't a direction they went with, years later (they intended/intend to go much further than what he calls "a direct update"). :P However, he also said that there were good things about the concept
This generally goes for the Akali VU concept as well.
xScarfy1 votesOh ok, thanks for clearing it up! :) I am a little bit sad now, since its a very cool concept art, but who knows how awesome looking Warwick will end up after his VGU.
DwarvenGiant1 votesAs a small teaser, they said in a live/live-streamed Q&A in Leaguefest, a few months ago, that Warwick will have more animal inspirations "injected into him"- It won't be just wolf, but it will still be recognizable as Warwick, of course.
I'm personally really hyped for his VGU.
xScarfy1 votesSame! He was outdated long enough now and I can't wait to see how he will turn out after his update. Altough I'm personally more hyped for Galios VGU, since I enjoy playing him from time to time, but his kit feels somewhat clunky.
Sahn Uzal1 votesI don't think that's concept art for the Warwick rework that's in the works right now, the background on the art is old Summoners Rift :P
xScarfy1 votesYea I noticed this too and it made me doubt at first too, but the fact that this concept looks nothing like his current ingame model and the word “rework“ in the titel seems coincidence enough for me ;) (Correct me if I am wrong but as far as I know Warwick hasnt received a rework in the past)
Sahn Uzal1 votesHe has gotten a texture update :P
GreenLore1 votesIts likely from a previous rework attempt,I remember that they once tried to rework him a few years ago,but he proved a bit more difficult,so the rework was put on ice.
