I think Reav3 abandoned the boards a long time ago

They already confirmed that there'll be likely never a time when they'll be finished making champion updates, so Vlad will eventually get updated, because every champion will eventually get updated. With that being said, I'm kinda confused why so many people mainly seem to want Vlad to be hot. I mean I don't have a problem if he is good looking, but I'd say it is far more important for him to look noble and elegant than looking hot.

I think "attractive" is a better term, less specific than hot. I agree that its important for him to be noble and elegant, but in an attractive/alluring way. Hot implies less elegant, more playboy-ish, but I would say "handsome and princely, yet mysterious" makes more sense for a direction than just flat out "hot".

I think he will eventually be updated, there is just too much interesting thematic room for him to be left alone. Especially considering how well it seems his characterization in LoR was received. Just don't expect it anytime soon. I'm a little concerned that they will slow down TOO much on reworks, even though I personally prefer more reworks than new Champs. I hope he will be updated relatively soon.
