Well, it's official [Phantom Karthus]

The patch is out, and the Karthus VU is super sexy.

But the skin that used to be Phantom Karthus is dead in every way, and there hasn't been a single Red post about it. I will freely admit that in this particular case, I like the new "Phantom Karthus" more than the old one - exclusively because the VU'd Karthus is superior in every way - but I feel this is a very disturbing precedent especially considering nobody has even stepped in to explain why they thought it was okay to completely alter a skin's theme like this. Up until now I had hoped that this was a new skin, and there was a VU'd Phantom Karthus yet to be revealed.

If Phantom Karthus was Classic Karthus, you would've made a Traditional Karthus skin. Why is it okay to take away the skin I and others paid for and replace it with something that bears no similarity to it whatsoever? Not one hint of the skin it used to be?

I really feel like you've dropped the ball here Riot. I like the new skin, but it isn't the skin I bought and you at least owe us an explanation.
