I really hope Riot pulls a Cassiopeia with Pantheon

Not gameplay wise, of course, but visually.

Pantheon, currently, is a very dated champion. Cassiopeia was dated too, before the Shurima event came out, but she got some really cool updates. She got a major texture update, but most importantly, her voiceover was revamped with all the new bells and whistles. Item quotes, recall quotes, game starting quotes... The whole shebang.

I really want them to do this with Pantheon. While the voice actor is good (Although maybe a bit of a deeper, gruff voice would suit his lore more, now that he's no longer just a mortal warrior), the lines are dated and don't fit his character as well. Not to mention, it's laden with many 300 references, which, while funny for the time (A time when Sion was de termenatah), are disappointing when put next to his new, much more original story.

Anyone else hope for something like this? It's something I loved about the Shurima event that I felt was woefully absent in the otherwise much superior Bilgewater event.

I'd rather see a Gangplank'd for Pantheon honestly.

I remember seeing somewhere that they were planning on giving panth a visual update and it would look a lot different than how he looks now. They said they were also debating on doing a voice update.

Visually she's indeed higher resolution, but Pantheon needs more than just a mere texture.

Something of Maokai's caliber as a bare minimum.
