Riot Games announced today that Maokai, the Twisted Treant, is the next champion in League of Legends to be getting an update. It's just a visual update, though, so while his abilities will look different, they'll still operate the same way.
"Just like Singed, Maokai’s rig was in a fairly good spot while the rest of his look was a bit… well… old," Riot explained. "So we changed it up, updating his model, textures, spell effects, and a few of his animations on his base model and each of his skins!"
Earlier this month, Riot discussed a new champion updating strategy that allows them to tackle multiple redesigns of varying scope at once. In addition to Maokai, other champions under the knife include Tristana and Poppy.
