[Skin Problems] Zac's Skins Have Bad Textures
Been seeing this and reporting it in the client's bug button thingy for forever so I don't know if it's an awful stylistic choice or Riot's just punishing us but, Zac's skins have awful textures whenever you: joke, recall, die, E. This started happening after Zac's R and Q update in 2017, but like way after because the skins still looked good despite his new R and Q animations but some time this year they started not blending well. What I mean is that Zac is supposed to have very blended textures because his body is just a giant goo man, therefore his whole body should have an even and smooth texture when he deflates or inflates but instead the textures are very choppy and there's too much contrast between colors. Funny thing is you only get these high-contrast colors whenever you play with champion quality set on medium and up, anything below that gives you smooth textures.
[Reminder That These Problems Only Show If You Play With Medium, High, Or Very High Character Quality Settings] Skins: Bubblegum and Honey Zac have death and joke texture problems, Orange Zac is fine.
Pool party. Pool party's recall, joke, and death display these bugs where you'll have bits of zach that are a light blue and then you'll have chunks of him that are dark blue. His recall, which is something you'll almost always look at, for some reason gains a glossy texture whenever he turns into a pool, and even the water in the pool has those bits of dark blue thrown in there.
SKT T1 Zac. Skt's problems are similar to Pool party, joke looks awful, E is off, and when he dies and deflates into a puddle, you can't see his armor bits in the goo, rather you just see dark spots that resemble the armor shapes but I don't think Riot left the shadows and not the armor on purpose because on release, SKT Zac's armor was visible during death. (and ofc puddle looks awful here too)

Here's a thread of pictures I made of current Zac and Zac before these textures started popping up:
