Annie needs a VGU/redesign in the future

First of all, annie, gameplay wise is ok but her initial design is something out of an ordinary in the world of runatera. There is no state in runatera that wears the same significance as annie. It's like her design is in our modern world(here on earth) and that design wouldn't fit in the lore of league unless zaun people can wear modern outfits like ours. But i think zaun people's code dress consist of punk,emo,with chemtecth outfits so she wouldn't fit in there while in piltover the code dress is some kind of a steampunky clothes. In noxus, it wouldn't be the case either because their outfits is kinda fancy looking and random except clothes from our modern society. So how is it then?? Days ago someone started theories about annie's new origins and 1 got my attention. The demcia to noxus/zaun migration and its a fantastic idea so my proposal is that if you guys, at riot, do a VGU of annie please change her attire to be suitable in the world of runatera and if you insist of changing her outfit please make a traditional skin because i love her base design too :D thats all peace ou!!

EDIT: Yup if annie is indeed gonna get a VGU, I think she will gonna get a traditional skin because annie is an iconic character in the game and she is one of the mascots of this game :D

Traditional skins were stopped years ago.

Annie already had a VU in 2013, and a Gameplay Update in 2016. So She's fine.

Annie already got visual update with an entire new model, animations and splash art, she doesnt need anything else. Only clueless people would say she needs second vgu.

I hope not, her traditional character model right now is PERFECT.

I like the innocent back-pack wearing little girl with the cat ears and the teddy bear who wields one of the greatest powers in the universe. She looks like she could easily be the main character in a different type of game (ex a Crash Bandicoot style platformer with spells) and it looks cool.

If Riot decides to redesign Annie, she might be the last one to get a traditional Annie skin since her design is pretty iconic. I know that they said that they don't do Traditional skins anymore, but when it comes to Annie, I think she might be considered the only exception.

Annie is only getting a new set of splashes for her older skins (with a tweak to Goth's face)

Overall it is more likely that Annies lore will be adjusted to her design than the other way around.

Because right now it'll take years before Annie could even be considered for a VGU.

I mean in the following years we can expect ~5 VGUs per year,but there are easily more than 30 champs(if not even 40) who need a VGU more than Annie,meaning that an Annie VGU would be plausible in 6-8 years... And with the current speed of lore updates it is much more likely that annie gets a lore update in that time.

Annie is officially from Noxus IIRC, but honestly her outfit doesn't matter; she's a little girl and can wear all the pink and purple she wants, perhaps made with dyes imported from a conquered outpost.
