Arcane Vi just tells her story better
I am genuinely a fan of Vi's OG design, I have a personal weakness for Riot Grrl fashion punk aesthetics, but they are also... dated.
There's a kerfuffle in the League of Legends community right now about whether and how much Arcane is supposed to be canon, and Riot themselves seem to be taking a wait-and-see approach on how much of their Netflix series to import into the main game. But if nothing else, I hope that a future redesign of Vi would at least use the Arcane skin as a basis.
Vi is a street kid, and giving her a fairly grounded basic fashion sense, topped with the pink hair and side-cut, establishes that aspect of her character a lot better than the pin-up approach her base design takes. Having the Hextech Gauntlets colored primarily in blue and gold also establishes that aesthetic distance, that these are tools she has found and adopted, but which are not from "her" world, they are from Piltover, and are something she is putting on. It's thematically pretty good design I think, and while I love Demon Vi as much as the next basic gamer boy, Arcane is just... better.
