[GAMEPLAY] Visual Effects Missing on Night Hunter Rengar's Model when ultimate is cast

One of the defining features of the Night Hunter Rengar skin is the visual effects that come with it. During one of the reworks, Rengar's detailed shimmering ultimate effect was lost.

Steps to recreate bug:

  1. Play Rengar
  2. Select Night Hunter Rengar skin
  3. Press R, and notice the spectacular lack of visual effects on Rengar's ultimate.
  4. Feel disappointed.

Sarcasm and jokes aside, I was comparing the current skin to the 2014-2016 variant, and it's very evident that these particle effects are missing. Heck even the original poster image for the skin advertised these effects as a feature of the skin, and now they are missing.

I know that there was a forum post roughly 2 months ago, promising a fix for this effect in 8.7, but as of 8.9, it's no where to be seen. I was hoping I could maybe provide a bit more evidence of it's existence and maybe get a proper fix this time.

Below are some Youtube links with timestamps for proof of the existence and the now lack of existence of these effects:

Skin Spotlight from 2016 after the Assassin Update Note, lack of visual effects https://youtu.be/uEjKftMh0bk?t=140

Just for reference, here is the original image that Rito put out when revealing the skin: https://riot-web-static.s3.amazonaws.com/images/news/May_2014/NHR/nhr-ss_thumb.jpg (Top Left)

Yeah... I spent far too much time making this post.
