Model Update

Anyone else think that the in game models of characters should be updated? I mean its in 2018, yet some of them look like they were made in 2005. Sure you don't always look at your character closely, but it is still annoying to look at your character and basically see a potato with crutches. This is especially the case when you spent money on skins, and you might want to have a closer look at them from time to time, but again, it looks like some terrible amateur made it. Riot Games has more than enough money to update them, and sure its a lot of work, but they payoff would be incredibly worth it. You could also implement the same as many other games have with sliders for people with better / worse pcs and then they can decide on the level of detail their character should be without affecting any gameplay. I always get excited to buy a skin, but then I may look at them closer, or a 3D model viewer, and they look so off from their splash art, its a little insulting. This wouldn't be that much of an issue if this was years ago when the game was initially released, but by 2018 standards, it just doesn't keep up. I'm not expecting insane levels of details, with individual pores showing (although it would be kinda cool), but at least a little bit of detail with the hair or clothes would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

They don't do visual update only anymore, it always comes with some kit update. Ezreal is said to get one in the next few months

Ezreal has a mostly-visual update coming, as does Morgana (whenever Kayle gets VGU'd, probably later this year).

It's happening.

There are MANY MANY outdated models but we cant ask for everything from a little indie office that calls it self riot games.

MordekaiserMordekaiser really needs a visual update his spells are fine but his feet are so big. Pantheon Pantheon is another to me that need a visual update but has decent spells.

Hopefully we get some of these, without VGU's. The rumor of Ezreal is promosing, I think only one ability is going to be changed. So more along the lines of the Tristina Update where she was changed a little but new voice/model.

Some others I think should get this treatment (rather than a total VGU!): Veigar Caitlyn Blitzcrank Alistar Vladimir Teemo Pantheon Graves Rumble

They are doing more visual updates nowadays than they have done in the past.

From what we know,we'll get at least 5 visual updates(counting Aatrox) and will likely get 6-8 VGUs this year alone.

The big problem is that full VGUs(which are the only visual updates that they are doing now),need roughly as much time as new champions.

For if my opinion counts, I think Azir deserves one, the original concept art was amazing and it made him look a lot like An Emperor
