Shockblade Zed's Shurikens' Sounds.

Hello, all.

I've always been a great fan of Zed, and I've played him throughout his nerfing stages and he still is one of my most played and one of my favorite champions in the entire game.

I have Shockblade Zed and I love that skin. I've had it for a good while, now, but it was 'recently' (I think after the changes to Shadow missile speed) that it got changed without no apparent notice by Riot or anyone in charge of it.

The sounds of the shurikens' impact has been tweaked so that the high tones are lowered, resulting in a muffled sound, with added tweaking so that it sounds remotely like thunder striking. However, part of Zed's charm is his phenomenal sound work. The shrieking metal sound that is so characteristic to ninjas is lost on this skin, right now.

The 'new' sound doesn't convey impact as well as the sound work on his Classic and SKT T1 skins, and it just feels very watered down. A similar example to feel difference that I can give you is when you play Syndra with both her Classic and Justicar skins, particularly speaking, when you activate her Dark Sphere. Compare the impact sound of those two skins with her Atlantean skin. It's a huge difference - some may find it appealing, certainly.

One of the things that upsets me is that we didn't, to my knowledge, even get a warning or update that this had happened.

Of course it is my hope that this post makes some sort of difference. Ultimately, that it causes the sound effects on Shockblade Zed's shurikens to be reverted to its original state, just like it can be heard on the Classic skin.

Thank you kindly for your time and for reading.
