Debonair Ezreal and Vi skins on PBE!

Rastamon Ganja·7/17/2014, 11:15:04 PM·7 votes·8,853 views

Riot does it again! Even though Ezreal and Vi had gotten skins not to long ago they get more skins!

Yet still no new skin for Kha'zix or Zac or the numerous other champs that have not gotten one in years. IMO Debonair Vi looks ok. The Ezreal skin looks pretty cheap and crappy. I know, I know they were just put on the PBE and they might change. The fantasy in these skins does not exist. They look like restaurant waiters. Debonair Jayce skin was pretty nice. These are not. Zac would have been a much better choice for a Debonair skin.

Once again, no news on the new champ or Ultimate skin, or the new tantrum resource bar, something that the majority of players are excited about and actually want to know about.

Have to agree - these skins need a lot of tweaking. Ezreal's just looks bad and Vi's is simply OK (why buy Debonair Vi over Neon Strike Vi or Officer Vi? Simply put - those skins are better). The Mecha skins on the other hand look rock solid Malphite .

I'm sorry but this is just ridiculous.

Debonair Ezreal looks crappy, even if he fits the theme better. Debonair Vi? Really? Vi is a girl. She's a Heartseeker, not a Debonair. She looks like a lesbian, but maybe that's what y'all were going for.

But here's the real problem. Both of these champs JUST got skins. There are SO many other champs that haven't gotten skins in FOREVER. There are so many other champions who deserve skins before these two, especially when they both just look awful.

Evelynn and Trundle have both had no new skins since 2010 (I'll give you Trundle VU, but point stands)

Akali, Karma, Karthus, Kassadin, Kennen, Leblanc, Mordekaiser, Malzahar, Miss Fortune, Sion, Skarner, Taric, Twitch, Warwick, Yorick, and Zilean have not received skins since 2011.

Amumu, Brand, Cho'Gath, Cass, Fiddle, Fiora, Galio, Irelia, Katarina, Kha'Zix, Kog'Maw, Master Yi, Nautilus, Nocturne, Olaf, Poppy, Rammus, Ryze, Sona, Swain, Talon, Teemo, Tristana, Urgot, Veigar, Wukong, and Xerath have not received skins since 2012.

Karma, Kha'Zix, Yorick, and Zac have never received any skins after their debut. There may be more that I just missed.

Now, even with the 2012s, not all of those need skins. Many of them have a ton of skins. But there are some in there severely lacking.

Riot, I know you love running with ideas, but you should really consider showing love to some champions that haven't seen love in a long time.

This is friggin ridiculous. Vi fairly recently got her officer skin, and I think Ezreal has enough already.

C'mon Riot, are there really no ideas you have for Champions that have been out for quite a while and only have their release skins still?

Yeah I agree I'm not a fan of these either, I saw on S@20 that they were 750 RP skins so they don't necessarily come with the price tag to have particle effects and whatnot but I still think these are a little shoddy looking. Other champions need skins, Vi i can live with but Ezreal really doesn't need another so soon.

dude you took the thoughts out of my mind. I am severely disappointed with this cycle so far. I feel like these skins were the LAST thing the player base wanted to see from the cycle. I feel like the new champ and ultimate skin are long overdue on the PBE. I mean they haven't even been hinted or teased at all. I feel like riot is putting these skins on for the sole purpose of having some 750 skins.

crimson viper anyone? debonair vi must be like this, or get a better combination with colors and her glases as always! :3

Debonair is a term for men with class...

I think and Ezreal need a lot of changes, Its my opinion but I dislike her pants, you know, maybe a skirt or a shorts would be more cool and full black or full white than black/white, Ezreal need a better haircut, maybe another suit, if he can turn on his glasses would be cool, more debonair.

I really think 3 months between champion releases is too slow. Back when it was one champ release every 2-3 weeks was to fast. Riot needs to find a middle ground 1.5-2 months is perfect. I do enjoy the VU/GU, different game modes, and skins. I also agree that they need to update a lot of the older content, but I get way more excited about new champs/lore then anything else. They have different teams working on different things, so new champs team is not affected by the new SR map or champ updates. I am also tired of seeing the same dozen champs in every single LCS game. gets boring. Sorry needed to rant... what do you guys think?

They forgot the boobs in Vi debonair skin.

Skin Vi + Ez in the web site http://irlol.ir/1393/04/27/new-debonair-skins/ مرجع بازی لول در ایران

Personally I think Ezreal is starting to show his age and is probably due for a VU in the not-so-distant-future, and as such I'm quite surprised that they're just releasing a skin for him that they may end up having to change before too long anyways.

The new Ezreal skin is pretty bad, it just looks like a edit to his normal and he already has, what, 6 skins. To me personally though, Debonair , looks great, and I'm ready to though my money at Riot for it, but for god sake, some champs barely have 2!? Does she need another this soon? Please give Zac a new skin! He only has ONE! Also, FatedTitan pretty much said this all already, so why am I ranting?

titillating kiwi7/18/2014, 6:57:13 AM1 votes

Yep, definitely agree that these skins are not needed and especially not for these champions. Maybe, if these skins had some particle effects I would let it go. After all, Ezreal has no skins with particle effects except his ultimate (3250 RP, which takes $35 to buy...) and Vi has no really good skins, not even Officer Vi is that great. I also agree that Riot should focus on the champions that have not gotten a skin in years and not Champions that already have a few. Akali Alistar Amumu Khazix Zac Malzahar <-- a few that need new skins.

LOL I posted a similar thread before I saw this one, I think zac deffinately deserves a skin, and as of august 2013, riot had a khazix skin in the pipeline. Khazix probably takes more work for a skin than a lot of other chars, seeing as 4 evolutions and multiple combinations of them and isolation marks and such, but hopefully that comes soon.

Still agree zac needs one, but I think the general impression here is "Zac is hard to animate for skins because of the stretchyness" and "People dont just want recolors" but honestly a recolor wouldnt be worse than nothing...right?
