It's been 3 months now, what happened to the Cass tail-update?

Riot first announced the introduction of the tail update back on 7.3 after doing some experiments on the PBE for half a month.

Back then the patchnotes promoted this update as an actual change to her live-self, and yet it never made it onto public servers. No one even seemed to notice the screwup, except for those few people who actually played this champ on a regular basis.

Fast forward by 3 months and there's still no trace of the tail-update, nor any sign of it even coming out in the immediate future.

I'd like to know why there has been an ongoing silence about this update and how a feature, which was conisdered as good as finished, could experience such a massive delay. I'd really appreciate it if someone from the team which is handling the project would actually drop by and give us a lifesign.

Cassiopeia has been forgotten for far too long already, I think it's about time she finally received some kind of attention. And this tail update is just the first step at making things better for her.

My first thought was they were delaying the update to release it along side a skin like Riot did with Ahri.

Fast forward to 3 months later (along with the leaked list of skins) and I've abandoned all hope.

:(

Same thing that happened to the promised Shadow Dash hitbox bug fix last year where it will straight up not taunt anyone who dashes toward Shen.

It was just convenient to forget, it seems.

We can only hope that they want to release it next to a skin for her. (I can dream right) Maybe they can fix the Miasma interactions too.

I dunno. They also said they were going to update Skarner to make him not feel quite so crap 6 moths ago and then we heard nothing about it afterwards.

Or, Riot secretly put the update on live, and no-one noticed. Now, Riot sits back, and gather's data on the observational capacity of its players.

The skins team realized they were working on Cassiopeia. Realizing they weren't working on something Ahri related it had to go obviously kappa

What's next, a post about the skins team making a skin for Yorick? how perpostrous

From what I heard it didn't look very good (I didn't see it just saw people say it didn't look great). So we are only left to assume they either went back to redo it or they scrapped it altogether. Can't say I have seen any official riot statements on it though.
