Which champion may receive VFX updates in the future? Riot makes it clear

One of the latest Riot entries may suggest which champion will get the VFX update next.


Updating the VFX, although it takes less time and effort than a full hero rework, is also not an easy process. It requires the involvement of a team that deals with adapting graphics to current standards, but also researching many opinions from the community.

What many players are unaware of is that the process of refreshing champion skills involves a few larger steps, each of which requires ingenuity, focus, and passion from Rioters. More about creating VFX and what it all looks like from the inside can be read in a separate article where Riot Sirhaian has detailed all the ins and outs of refreshing effects in League of Legends – League of Legends visual effects updates – what does it look like step by step?

Future VFX updates

First, it is worth noting that the developers did not say directly who will get the next update of the effects. This does not mean, however, that there was no certain clue in the official statement of Riot Sirhaiana.

These are the words that the mentioned Rioter:

And as for who’s getting the next VFX update… Well, that’s a secret! But don’t worry, we’re hard at work on more VFX updates to make sure your favorite champions get the sparkles and love they deserve!

Players quickly noticed that the creator’s entry used the graphics of one of the skins, even though the text did not mention it even once. According to fans, this is a preview of the update for the legend below.

The Amazing Twisted Fate skin was released on May 10, 2010, and will soon turn 12 years old. Today, it is not necessary to explain to anyone that the skin is very old and is not up to the current League of Legends standards. This can be seen both in the splash art and in the effects in the game.

As is well known, the old legends were not as elaborate as those that can be seen today. In fact, you could say that some Legendary skins performed worse than the current epic skins.

According to some fans, the use of the Magnificent Twisted Fate graphics is an obvious announcement of an update for this skin. One of the players wrote:

While the DEV blog doesn’t say who the next VFX Update is, the Blog Banner is The Magnificent Twisted Fate, so Twisted Fate is probably the next VFX Update.

Finally The Magnificent will have legendary VFX as happened with Annie in Wonderland
