[2020] Upcoming VFX updates for Ahri and Udyr

Original Post — Direct link

Riot Sirhaian Tweeted VFX updates for Ahri and Udyr

Hi everyone! Coming in 10.15: VFX Updates for Ahri and Udyr! I'll be posting on the /r/LeaguePBE subreddit to gather feedback later today.

In the meantime, here is a video for each of them, plus a couple screenshots:

Udyr: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuAfHRUg9ms

This update is mainly aimed at cleaning old stuff up and modernizing ancient VFXs.

As always, the skins will reflect base's changes! In Udyr's case, his Ultimate skin (Spirit Guard Udyr) only received changes to his abilities, as we tried not to affect its appearance too much.

Really weird that they're spending time on visual updates for champs that are probably near the top of the list of needing VGUs (pizzafeet hobo man should really be the most in need candidate, and ahri really needs a kit update/redefinition). They must really not have any plans to clean out the list over the next 2-3 years.

We're targeting what's most urgent. Udyr was loooong overdue. Theses updates don't change any plans we might or might not have for VGUs!

I guess my skepticism comes from Riot historically (and iirc they've admitted to do so) holding off on any work like that if there was a vgu or even just a VU in the foreseeable future. Is that not a thing anymore?

I'm not aware of this, at least not for VFX Updates. We've never took into account VGUs or other projects that might remove our work.

VFX stuff is neat too

Hahaha, didn't even notice that. Glad you like the changes!
