https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/202294884-Champion-Update-Schedule For those who have not seen yet, Xin Zhao is now a confirmed champion for a Gameplay update, but not a Visual update I feel as though Xin Zhao's model is only mediocre, and could use a lot of improving, if not minor improvements to just make him look a little more appealing I think he needs something minor, like how they modernized Miss Fortune when she was updated

The gameplay update is to put a band-aid on Xin's kit until he gets his VGU down the line (In about 1.5 years they said)

A Vgu takes about 6 months and the next VGUs are already in progess and it isn't a big GU, it is just a new W and some balance an minor tweak (similar to Roster update). So it will take just a few months to finish

I mean his in-game isn't nearly as awful as Rumble Nunu Anivia Gragas or Skarner

so he can go a bit longer.

It is a little G update, he will get a new W and some minor tweaks for his other spells for a good skill expression (similar to roster updats). a VgU takes to long and the next one are already planned. Also Xin will get some nwe particles, becasue of the new spell and maybe of some of the minor tweaks, sure not a model update, but some new VFX
