Lack of Outline Rendering on various skins and/or champions

Various champions lack outline rendering, creating an inconsistency with the game and how it chooses to display outline rendering. Outline rendering makes champions and objects that otherwise blend in with the background much easier to see. The majority of arts and/or graphics (ex. the Jungle monsters) do have outline rendering, and it's inconsistent and weird for some champions, such as Ezreal or Yuumi, to not have the effect. Is this intended?

I believe it is intended. If I remember correctly, the team responsible for those kind of changes decided that the outlines are no longer necessary, since the art style of the Rift and modern champions are already carefully crafted to prevent blending. And since rendering those outlines cause additional work load for your computer, the call was made to remove them.
