'''Project Shiny''' is a project that was built to overhaul [[League of Legends]]' graphics, improving them texture-and-model-wise to look better on faster rigs.

Lead Producer [[Travis 'Volibar' George]] claimed that ''Project Shiny'' and [[Dominion]] were originally a combined development. The hope was that these combined projects would synergize with each other and turn out to be better than expected.

However, due to Dominion's development phase, it had many iterations and many unknown variables. As ''Project Shiny'' team was working mainly on [[Summoner's Rift]], their request of finalized data on [[Dominion]] cannot be fulfilled, which in turn, created a tension between the two teams. This had further caused a stall in ''Project Shiny'', even after Dominion was finished.

Sivir Update Model 02

Sivir Sivir, the Battle Mistress
(Visual Update Comparison)

A champion update is a graphical or gameplay update that occurs after a champion's initial release. Over the years, Riot Games Inc. has worked on updating champions whose visuals or gameplay don't fit with the current state of the game. The goal is to level up any outdated visuals or gameplay to make champions feel fresh while still retaining what makes them unique.

  • This scale of rework covers small kit changes to several champions of a specific class or subclass, that aims to give each one their own unique niche in the game, and make them healthier overall.
