The Official Unofficial Mecha Aatrox/Malphite Skin Discussion

Hasame3··1 votes·1,181 views

I love what I've seen of the skins, but there are some things that I think can make them way better (Though since they aren't completed, I don't know if my suggestions are happening or not).

**First off with Aatrox: **

*-The Hexagons on his wings move too much like real wings. *(I feel like, since it's a Mecha skin, things should have a technological feel. And the flow of the wings at the moment feels too organic.)

*-He looks more like a Transformers toy more than a real machine. *(I can't explain this one, he just looks plastic.)

-Not much pops out about Aatrox himself. (All I see is "Green Sword being held by Blue Guy". It isn't "Green Sword that Aatrox is holding".)

Lastly with Malphite:

-His Passive Visual is too sudden. I'm getting really nit-picky here... (Due to this being a Mecha skin, then why not have a quick, but visible transformation? Maybe, red hexagons quickly cover him up, then for changing back, it's the same animation but with blue ones?)

-His ult could be more Drill themed. (I was thinking that he would quick go "Drill Form", go underground (Like a running shapeshift), then pop-up from target location. Obviously there would have to be some above ground indicator that Malph's ulting, though. And if he close range ults, his default animation would play.)

-His Recall animation. (Everything about it works except for the fact that halfway through his recall, Malph gives up drilling and decides to sink into the ground instead. Have him drill until you can't see him.)

Then, as a very last thing for both skins:

-Maybe have more tech-twitch animations put in there.

If anyone reading this has suggestions for the skins, post them!

i think they should make the two skins look more like mecha khazix to make it look like a real set

Oh yah, maybe have Aatrox's wings be the same as Kha's wings for one.

Definitely agree.

A lot of people are mentioning that right now they look too plastic/toy like, that they should be more metallic, that the colors are too bright/pale. Changing them to have dark-grey colors like mecha khaz would make them match and fix that model-splash discrepancy cause right now their splash arts look amazing but the color of their in-game models doesn't match the splash art at all.

look at mecha khaz. The evolved form looks a lot more metallic, and even the unevolved form has a fair bit of dark grey to go with the brighter bits, unlike Malphite who is all bright/pale.
