How To Vote for League of Legends VGU Rework

League of Legends players can now vote in the annual Visual Gameplay Update (VGU) poll for Season 12. Five champions have been added to the poll for a potential rework and you can choose between Kog’Maw, Nocturne, Shyvana, Skarner, and Tryndamere. For those who are new to the VGU polls, Riot Games revamps the kits of “outdated” champions and brings them up to the standard seen in newly released characters. Udyr is due to receive a rework in 2022 and the poll will decide which other champion will receive the visual gameplay overhaul.

League of Legends Season 12 VGU Overview

Previous VGUs have led to the much loved reworks for Dr Mundo, Volibear and other outdated champions. The five champions shortlisted for Season 12 include:

• Kog’Maw

• Nocturne

• Shyvana

• Skarner

• Tryndamere

Nocturne, Shyvana and Skarner are three junglers that have been included in a previous poll but none of them made the cut. Shyvana is one of the strongest contenders with the champion being featured in both 2020 and 2021’s poll and the half-dragon might finally receive the much needed rework.

How to vote for League of Legends Season 12 VGU poll

Players will be able to vote for a VGU rework via a poll visible in the in the League of Legends client. The poll is open from 7^th to 19^th January 2022. There is a second poll for upcoming skin releases as well and you will be able to choose from a number of concepts that you want to be brought to life.

1. Launch League of Legends

2. You will be presented with a splash screen which lets you vote for a new skin lineup and this year’s VGU

3. Cast your votes

4. Confirm your submission

The results of the polls are usually announced within a few days of the polls ending. While the VGU poll is happening now, the reworks won’t be released until late-2022. Most VGU reworks are not released until Q4 and we can expect this year’s rework to follow suit and be available sometime between September and December 2022.
