About Zombie Ryze

I've been a fan of Ryze since I picked him up, He was like the mage-version of Shen in that aspect. It was love at first Overload. I've been aiming to buy Pirate Ryze and Zombie Ryze ever since, last year I got Zombie Ryze in a mystery gift and I nearly cried, and now I bought Pirate Ryze myself. So basically, I really like Ryze.

I have a few issues with Zombie Ryze, however. Mainly with the skin color, and lack of detail. Lets have a look at Zombie Ryze's splash art.

How would you describe this Splash? Dark comes to mind, disgusting, smelly, soggy even. A putrid corpse in a damp swamp, even long after death protecting the malevolent scroll he stumbled upon so long ago. Its arm, broken in several places, outstretched as rotten vocal chords gurgle an intelligeble incantation. Your entire being forced you to run, But the Rune Prison has already descended upon you. Another cool thing is the re-occuring green theme with the Zombie skins, found in Zombie Brand and the recently released Zombie Nunu. It adds to the "decay" look of the skin.

Now, let's take a look at the in-game model.

Oh dear.

This is... still Zombie Ryze. Sure, he still looks undead. But he's just... If I saw this shambling at me I'd maybe contort my face into an expression of disgust, shame and sympathy for the poor thing. The first reaction is a mildly disgusted "Ew." instead of a "Oh fuck what the fuck is that RUN" It's a shame that a 975 skin, no matter how old it may be, has to look this..._ bad_. And I'm not gonna lie, a mere pallet swap to a sort of snotty, bile-green (Zombie Nunu) would do wonders for this skin and bring back that feeling of a putrid corpse that's been rotting somewhere damp for the past 2 weeks.

TL;DR: Swapping Zombie Ryze's skin color from baby blue to bile green would do wonders for the skin. Rito pls.
