If Varus got a VGU...

... do you think his lore should progress?

Now, I'm not a huge Akali fan, but I liked that her lore was a progression of her old lore rather than a full revamp. That kind of lore update alongside is VGU is something I think they should do with more champs. I think Varus is a good candidate for this type of lore update. I know there's a good chunk of people unhappy with Varus' current lore, but personally I think progressing that lore could be interesting.

Even more interesting to me,however, is how they could progress Varus' appearance. They could have the darkin corruption taking over his form even further and align his appearance more with the darkin aesthetic Aatrox and Rhaast have. I'd still like him to have some of his iconic purple, but a little more red and black as well as some horns (or something of that nature) would be a nice addition.

What do you think? Should they progress Varus' lore when he gets a VGU? Are there any other champs you'd like to see get this type of lore update?

I think progression would be the best choice of action for Varus. It could also help justify any visual changes and Varus corrupts Val and Kaimar's body even more

It would be the best approach IMO.

If Varus gets a VGU that is, which i doubt.

He shoulf revert to his old lore.

Xin and Shyvana could get progressions though

Varus's current kit is pretty healthy and iconic so a full gameplay update would be a really bad idea.

But he needs a full gameplay update to make his kit better fulfill the fantasy of his lore.

What they need to do is create a completely new champion model and gameplay kit based around Varus's current lore, move the current lore to the new model and kit, and revert the lore associated with Varus's current model and kit to his old story and character.
