Should there be more Kassadin/Maokai lvl of visual reworks?

For example, Nunu , Shaco , Janna , Evelynn , Kennen and Udyr would benefit from a Visual and VFX update. They might not be in the same state as Kassadin and Maokai were back then but a visual upgrade would surely be nice for these champs. What other champions you think might need this level of visual update? http://imgur.com/a/wgBO0

I'd say no because I prefer the larger scope VGUs as opposed to the half way updates that Kassadin and Maokai were.

MonkeyKing Chogath Jax Amumu Ahri

These are all champs that have fine kits and most of which look decent , but have one or two visual things that could use an update.

MonkeyKing Has very large hands (even for a monkey) and could use a few scale tweeks with his appearance. Doesn't need much work, mostly I would be hoping for that VU to be enough to allow him to update his VO, maybe give him a better dance (it's asking a lot for a quick VU, but I'd be hoping since he doesn't need much work visually, he could get away with it .__.). Chogath looks a bit better since his texture update, but doesn't look as good as his splash, not to mention his kit could stand to get new particles (his Q could be updated to look like spiked made of void energy). Jax still an eggplant with a lamp post. Amumu aside from Mordekaiser and Pantheon, he is the last champ to still have a model with giant feet. On top of that he has a giant head and all around looks silly. I'd say he should get a full rework, but his kit isn't really bad enough for him to get one. Ahri Again, not a champ who really needs a lot of visual changes. Her tails (last time I checked) are still attached to multiple places on her and they might as well add those nice designs on her outfit that she had for the new dawn trailer while they're at it.

All of them could uses changes visually, but would never get them if Riot only does full on Reworks and Shen/Gangplank level updates. The only way they would be updated within the next 2-3 years would be if they got a small Singed/Alistar level update.

Not really a specific champ but Traditional Trundle and his abilities look completely awful and do not fit modern League at all. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but Trundle already got a visual update so I don't even know if Riot has plans to ever fix it.

No.

Yes, if they update VO at the same time.

I want Morgana to get one but I also think she could benefit from a full relaunch where she get new VO too.

Kennen Udyr Have good skins if you really want a good visual. so i'd like that rework last

While it would be very nice, a lot of the outdated champions require heavy changes to their kits, so they might as well get both done at the same time. Also, I would hate to see old champions who have 12 lines get nothing with their updates. POOR Kassadin :/

Urgot should never look GOOD, but an HD model to show off his grotesque form would be great.

Veraska8/15/2016, 12:14:16 PM1 votes

I would say no personal ally but that's because these updates ussually lack a new VO, something I feel is really important to me at least like,

Singed VU not having a new VO was a travesty, but then again we might have lotst his laugh

Nunu Shaco Evelynn are listed for a VGU. Udyr and Kennen could use one as well. There are very few champions that only need a VU (Corki Hecarim Janna Leona Lulu Olaf), but, considering the fact that they want to prioritize VGUs, when it will be their turn to be reworked they will also need a gameplay update. So no, I don't think Riot should do more VUs.

Nunu Urgot Galio Zed Need full reworks, visually and their kits.

Maokai and Kassidans visual reworks are actually quite bad. All Riot did was remove tons of details and textures, especially Maokai, and make the game have old graphics. League doesn't care about good graphics anymore.

Riot thinks : New champions -> New Skins -> Visual Downgrade -> Better Gameplay -> Better game

GreenLore8/14/2016, 5:21:59 PM1 votes

The problem with the smaller ones is that almost every champion that you listed could also need a gameplay update(especially nunu,shaco and eve). Just doing a VU would be a waste.

Can you post before/after pictures of these reworks? I dont remember the update.

I think kennen, shaco, and janna's base model look fine. they dont need a VU but it would be nice. but rumble though, oh boy

Zephyrous X8/15/2016, 3:53:18 AM1 votes

i agree, imo it would be nice if ez got a VU instead of getting a skin every few patches :/

wukong could use a VU as well
