A Visual and Gameplay Update (VGU) in League of Legends refers to a complete change in a champion's kit, as well as a change in the graphical design. These updates help Riot Games keep older characters playable, even though they might have been irrelevant for a significant amount of time.

The most recent VGU was Udyr, who was a champion that needed an art update and had an outdated kit. Since Udyr's update, he has consistently been one of the strongest junglers because of his newfound kit that offers much stronger abilities than he previously had available.

Overall, VGU's are an important part to League of Legends and will continue to be released for older champions that seem unplayable in the game. One of these characters includes Skarner, who had his VGU announced a long time ago.

Here is when players can expect to see the Skarner VGU available to play in game.

League of Legends Skarner VGU Release Date

Riot announced this morning in a Dev Update video that the Skarner VGU is still scheduled to release. They have been experiencing issues making the character have a consistent theme and fitting the look that encapsulates the scorpion and crystal aesthetic. So, Riot is still thinking about the changes they want to make for his kit and which abilities they should keep.

Riot has not given an official release date for the Skarner VGU, but the update video mentioned there will be a blog releasing soon that should contain more information about it. Therefore, players will have to wait a little bit longer before getting a genuine release date, but it is still being worked on and will release at some point.
