What is the fate of the champions that need a VU but have somewhat solid kits ?

Are they just going to rot and wait until their kit´s become outdated as well , making them a meme champion (Like old WW or old Yorick) and then waiting another 2-3 years to get addressed ? It´s the main reason why I was sad when Riot stopped making VU´s and only makes full VGU´s. Zilean : Probably the worst offender. Has a sad looking in game model , but is far far away from getting a full VGU , since his kit is quite solid , and has suffered only minor changes over the years Jax :Mister Eggplant man. He is one that I belive needs a full VGU , however every time riot brings up champions that need it , he is never on the list. Obviously at some point in time , he will get one , but only after all the more serious offenders are taken care of , even though I consider him to be in the same level as Irelia , who is stated to be a major offender to riot and has been confirmed to be on the full VGU list. Udyr : Doritos hand is all I have to say here. Any thing else , read above and you will get the picture

Thematically solid and mechanically solid are 2 different things. Zilean kit might be solid as you stated, but why on earth is a time wizard throwing bombs it makes no sense. Likely until they come up with a better theme he won't be mentioned for a rework, same thing happened with Urgot they didn't know which theme to go with until recent so he was delayed.

They are all going to get VGUs eventually,they might not be among the top candidates for now(or might not be on the VGU-list at all),but they are going to be among the top candidates eventually.(Personally it wouldn't surprise me if these 3 are among the tier2-candidates)

Because even if their kits aren't that much of a problem(though I think all 3 of them does actually need a GU),they certainly can be improved,just because a champ gets a full VGU doesn't have to mean that the kit has to take a 180 degree turn. Think of Tristana,who pretty much kept her kit except for one ability.

And this goes for pretty much every champ who could need a VU,but isn't in dire need of a GU.

Jax, Vlad, Zil, Blitz, Mundo.

Udyr needs a VGU. Too much CC in the game for him to be a factor and any time he's viable its because he's a problem, not because he's decent or better.

Jax already got a rework a long time ago and is in a decent state since he still does what he is supposed to do but the meta doesnt support him and he desont have any kind of penetration in his kit making him a rather lackluster hybrid champ. Lorewise Jax is also fine ~~ since now they hinted him and Fiora secretly being in love but both of them deny it in their hearts~~ and they managed to explain why Jax is so penis-y with his voice lines with it. Zilean doesnt really need a rework or anything but he does need a stable identity since people cant seem to figure out of he is a optimal support or a asshole mid laner, lorewise he doesnt make sense since he doesnt like Volibear. Udyr needs a whole VGU where he is basically a champ with 12 abilitys and 4 forms.
