When are Kayle and Morg getting graphical/lore/audio updates?

title pretty much says it all. Their kits arent bad but they each have a small paragraph for lore that explains almost nothing, have a few voice lines and their graphics are becoming notably dated, even newer skins arent great looking. I'm thinking maybe after the void event which is likely sometime late this spring so their visual updates could be like early summer before pool party.

As a side note im hoping morgana isnt left as just "being corrupted" and instead they show their race's conflict from both sides (each having valid stances).

Well we are seemingly gettin 6-7 VGUs this year(2 being Swain and Irelia) and one Rioter said that he is working on a minor VGU.

However recently they only did full VGUs,so this minor VGU would most likely concern a champion who doesn't need that much work done. And the only one I can think of in that case would be Morgana as they said that her kit is mostly fine the way it is,so her VGU would likely take less work than that of other champions. And since Morgana and Kayle will be done together I'd say that there is a good chance that they are going to get a VGU this year.

It actually makes me nervous. Morgana has been stated to not need muck kit work but Kayle is getting a bigger rework on her kit. And I love her kit.

We're not sure.

Fact: we know August is working on VGUing a female champion. That basically narrows things down to 3 champions: Kayle, Morgana (they'd of course be done together), and Akali.

Problem: all 3 are in the skin folder! It's true that Cho was stuck in there for a VFX update, but nobody's been put in before their VGU, only after the VGU patches in... I don't know what the heck is gonna happen.

My thoughts are that August is working on Kayle and Wrekz is doing Morgana . We know August is doing a female champ, which means it's one of the sisters or Akali / Leblanc , but we also know that Wrekz is doing a 'minor VGU' and I think it would make a lot of sense for that to be Morgana . Also, August's VGU and Wrekz' VGU are gonna be around the same time and they've said before that they'd wanna update them together. It all fits!

I'd guess late section of this year. Depends on how fast riot gets the current list of projects done since Kayle is in the highest tier (not specifically highest priority champ but she is in the group.) for an update.

I only have 3 things to say.

Morg's kit is fine, so when she does get a visual update, I hope her kit stays the same.

Kayle, in my opinion, could use a full VGU. Ult is good, E is unique. P/Q/W need work though.

Huh wait what void event, why have I not heard about this till now?

I'd love to see a champions family member be involved actively in lore without being another champion. I think that could go a long way towards riots end goal of a richer and broader lore for league of legends.
