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 The goal is to level up any outdated visuals or gameplay to make champions feel fresh while still retaining what makes them unique.

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 The goal is to level up any outdated visuals or gameplay to make champions feel fresh while still retaining what makes them unique.


Types

Class
  • 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. Animations and other visual effects may be updated, but the champions model and core theme are untouched.

Gameplay (GU)
  • This scale of rework covers changes to a champions kit beyond number tweaks. Animations and other visual effects may be updated, but the champions model and core theme are untouched. In some cases, the kit rework will 'correct' the kit to match the intended theme.
Visual (VU)
  • This scale of rework covers changes to a champion's model and artwork, with visual and sound effects also included if the kit is not changed as well. This will often include a more up-to-date voiceover and lore and even bugfixes and minor balance changes - but will not change the champion's core theme.
Visual and Gameplay (VGU)
  • This combines the above two categories. The scale of the kit rework is usually slightly larger than a kit rework alone as the developers can plan for more in-depth visual effects and model changes. The champion's core theme may remain intact. Full Relaunches are also under this classifications. However, it involves an overhaul to the champion's identity - focusing on some aspects while abandoning others. This affects the champion's lore, personality, art, and model. The degree of the kit rework in Full Relaunches varies.

Template:List of Champion Updates

Texture Rebalance

Texture Rebalance was an ongoing effort to update old textures to fit within the evolving color palette of League of Legends in light of the new Summoner's Rift update. Some champions have temporary a texture rebalance that won't hinder the release date of their Visual Updates (examples being Pantheon Pantheon and many more)

  • Part 1 (V4.17)
    • Ahri Ahri - Classic, Dynasty, and Midnight.
    • Akali Akali - Classic, All-star, Blood Moon, Crimson, Nurse, Silverfang, and Stinger.
    • Ashe Ashe - Classic, Amethyst, Freljord, Queen, Sherwood Forest, and Woad.
    • Corki Corki - Classic, Hot Rod, Ice Toboggan, Red Baron, UFO, and Urfrider.
