Orianna from League of Legends will get the VFX update. What does the refreshed character look like?
Orianna will receive brand new animations and sound effects for her skills.
There are currently over 150 different characters in League of Legends. Many of them have been around many years since their premiere, so their effects, models, or skill sets have grown old. One way to refresh them is a full rework, but it takes a lot of work and time to get it done.
It also happens that the hero simply does not need a VGU, they only need to renew and fix some visual and sound effects (i.e. VFX). The latest announcement shows that the next character from League of Legends will see such a refreshment. What does it look like after the process?
Orianna VFX from League of Legends
Orianna appeared on Summoner’s Rift on June 1, 2011. Although many years have passed since her premiere, she is still incredibly distinctive – mainly due to her specific mechanics, consisting in controlling a mechanical ball.
Orianna is not very popular, although she has devoted fans. The creators have noticed that the effects of the heroine’s skills are very old, so it’s time to update them.
Similar to the previous VFX updates we’ve made in the past (Ziggs, Vayne, Kog’Maw, etc.), we’re working on updates to the Visual Effects (VFX) of champions whose spell effects are in need of some love. Our aim is to get their VFXs to current League standards and improve gameplay clarity.
It’s now time for time Orianna’s , targeted for the 12.7 patch!
- ALSO – Riot officially confirms that it will be reworking two LoL champions. It will take several months
The update was mainly focused on her W and R, but she received a complete update: Better visual clarity, cleaner hitboxes and a quality push to match our current standards.
