@Riot Developers Small VGU vs Large VGU. Where is the Balance?

I always wondered why Riot Games focuses on champions with the largest amount of work over a champion that just needs major art updates but no kit changes. A good example is Morgana. She hardly needs any kit changes and can benefit more from an art update than a full VGU. Wouldn't it take less time to work on her over a champion like Nunu that needs a complete overhaul? Another example is Karma. She just had all of her splash arts updated, needs a little work done on her kit . . . but suffers more from a poorly conceptualized theme and art. Wouldn't it take you less time to work on a champion like Karma and Morgana over a champion that needs a complete overhaul like Morde, Nunu, and others? Really. Just trying to state the obvious. Didn't they say it takes them 9 months to work on a champion like Morde, Nunu and others? How long would it take to work on a champion like Morgana, Karma, Ezreal, and Annie when all they need are art updates and hardly no work done on their kit? Wouldn't it be better to do maybe a complete ovehaul on a champion and then a champion like Morgana and change it up?

It seems like a waste of time to spent 9 months on one specific champions when you can spend 4 or 5 months working on another champion with half the work. * yawn *

This is because when they fully need to rework a champ they have the time to change and update every part of the champ. This is why the abounded VU. They don't want to spend the time on only something visual that doesn't make the game better but they want to focus on the game health and at the same time the good look of it. Yes Moragana looks bad but that does stop players from playing her.
