Desire for an Anivia VGU, or at least a visual one?

What are folks' thoughts on a potential VGU for our icy friend Anivia? Ornn's release story revealed that she is in fact sister to Volibear and Ornn, being some sort of primal godlike being of the Freljord. Volibear is certainly due for his own VGU, and I think we'll see that in the next year or two— it's been teased that he'll become more of a war-god of sorts. But let's say that this does happen, and Anivia is left a flappy little chicken-like god. I can't help but feel like she deserves a spot on the larger-than-life Freljord god table. I don't think she necessarily even needs a gameplay update, simply something to make her look larger, more modern and badass. Something to bring my darling Anivia from frost-chicken to full blown Freljord Articuno God.

She doesn't need a VGU for sure, at best she needs a visual update (VU). But I think there are some champions who would need a visual update more than Anivia, tbh. Blitzcrank Caitlyn Ezreal Orianna Rumble Veigar Lulu

I think the particles for Blackfrost should be the default. It looks like very powerful ice. The visuals for the rest of her skins (minus Festival Anivia), just look outdated and yucky.

She did get some minor texture and animation updates a while back that helped her out a lot but yeah, I'd like to see her get a full VU with a new model and everything... but I don't think she needs much gameplay work. And at this point we're really only getting full VGU's. She just doesn't need one of those. However, I'd absolutely love to see her get new spell FX

They might aswell update her lore...

She's my Permaban so reworking her would actually open up that spot for something worse, so... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Wouldn't surprise me if she was among the Tier 2 candidates for a VGU.

Yeah her model definitely needs a change she looks like a generic bird who has been made in the year 2011 and untouched since her kit is a bit outdated but op and still works with modern champions and unique so probably need minor QOL updates
