Why does League need to do so many champion visual updates?

I understand that the game is old and they had to update it at some point but its weird that the character models need so many updates and some champions need to be updated for a second time like Tryndamere and Singed who already had a visual update and now they are again on the list. I have never seen another moba that needs to update their character models even with Dota 1 which came a lot earlier you won't look at the models and say that they need updates, this only happens with League and if they need to do it all the time and more than once on some champions doesn't it mean that theres something wrong and unstable with the game's structure in the first place?

That mean other moba either still use old technology or they make new champ on old standard to not see the difference. League is developing new tech, like ASol tail and implement it to old champ (Cass tail) to make them seem better. It's good they try to make every champ look good and up to date standards

The reason why it looks like this is because in Dota1 the art style and the quality of the ingame models never evolved like they did in League. In Dota every hero looks terrible by todays standards.

But in LoL we are getting new characters every year and they try to make the models for these characters as good as possible. This means that we have some character models that are extremely outdated,slongside the new ones,thus the old ones don't fit the quality bar for the new ones anymore,making them feel out of place.

And the only champ who got 2 visual updates so far is Gangplank(there were also texture rebalances,but those were made to make the champs fit the new art style of the summoners rift) and the reason for that is pretty obvious: His first visual update was done years ago,so it looked outdated again by the time he got his second visual update

Newer games can also avoid this problem from the beginning by simply giving their characters good looking models from the beginning. But league simply didn't start out this way.

This answer is rellay simple: Most of all champions got a VU, now are singed and trynda on the list for a VGU that is a difference. It don't depend on the time it depends on the idea and if the champion needs an Update ( Ryze got 3 big kit updates)
