I didn't say Maokai was lacklustre, I said it was the lowest tier of rework. Well, a smidge above the lowest tier since he received new animations (the lowest tier would be Renekton who only got a new model). It was fine for Maokai to receive the lowest tier because he didn't really need a rework at all (as you said)(heck, Maokai's old quotes still suit his new lore... Which I've always thought was cool).

Alistar, however, deserved a much bigger scope of rework. His only new animation was his walk (which looks derpy, and a lot of people thought so when he came out) and his ultimate particle effect. His model was old, his quotes were old, his animations are almost non-existent (his passive still doesn't have a particle effect). This just feels like "why did Tristana get a new splash artwork right before her visual upgrade"... Alistar is still owed quality.

And your opinion of "poor scope" is just flat out wrong and my "expectations" are not unrealistic in the slightest. For a start, Kassadin needs proper anatomy. As many people have pointed out on the PBE forums, his new walk animation combined with the height of his crinoline makes it look like he doesn't have any legs. If this is intentional then why isnt being legless actually a major part of his design? (Incidentally a lot of his fan skins do draw him legless). Karthus gained dangly feet and floats above the ground.
