Deep One Kassadin's VU is too soft.

When I think of "the deep", I think of a dark and mysterious abyss.

The new Deep One Kassadin skin is kinda plain and boring. The actual model and animation update is really cool and I like it, but his texture for this skin just doesn't fit.

The deep green glow look of his old skin was really cool, and how it had those dark metallic colors. His skin tone was also darker giving him a more menacing look rather than someone who looks like they really need a tan.

I think his skin should be changd a bit, to keep it more close to its original look which is what people like it for.

-Change the light gray of his helmet and shoulder spines to a deep metallic blue

-Make his shoulders less than the bland color you get when you mix green and white

-Make the tentacles of his kilt a sharp glowing green, maybe with a darker background.

Though this will probably make the skin cost more, maybe make his purple void particles a deep green or maybe a deep blue color.

I really like his current skin's look and I feel that the new texture is more of a down grade(Especially after his gameplay downgrade). It is okay for a skin to have a shiny look riot, why not keep it?

I would love them just to recolor the particles to blue and make them look like water, I mean if hes a scuba diver he should shot either a water (shoot a water ball at em) or a bubble. A water sword or perhaps even a pool noodle. Maybe his e is a fast wave. And when he ults their should be a splash. But it doesnt matter now they totally nerfed him into oblivion.

The entire VU looks like a minor texture and model update IMO. Not sure why anyone cares though, he's never gonna show up to the party anyways. He'll just hang with Urgot

I on the other-hand think totally opposite. I think it looks better than it has ever had before.

Really? I mean, tbh, I dont see any up-sides. fewer polygons, more bland colors, less detail in general.... I honestly cannot see any positive side. But then again, I run a high-end machine, and I love my eye candy.

There is way more to modeling than polygon count. Technology has existed for quite some time now that allows a game engine to render shading, textures, and effects at much higher resolutions than the polygon count would traditionally allow for, and doing so increases performance while maintaining and even improving graphics.

However, in spite of all that, they still managed to make this Kassadin VU suck :( I mean nothing new? Really? He's been one of the least visually appealing champions since... well since he was put in to the game really. The best compliment I've ever heard him paid is that he looks like a half-dressed Darth Vader. Make some improvements ya lazy bums.

You see, I have a high end machine as well, I just find the newer art style and color palate more appealing. Sometimes more polygons isn't better. I think it comes down to personal taste.

Well I would be pissed if I bought a skin only to have it's colors changed in a way I didn't like. However, I think the new model looks great.

I like this so much better.

I agree, the new one just looks like he put on the same exact clothes with a few different colors.

Also, I'm pretty sure Riot's going to wait a bit and watch Kassadin to see if the pro players can bring him back into the meta because everytime he gets nerfed, he comes back. But this time I think he's not making a comeback. Kassadin's ultimate has always been a main issue in balancing him, I feel that reducing its power was necessary to change other parts of his kit, but it was nerfed a little too much. Maybe increase the range by 100 and change the mana cost back to what it was.

Wtf the skin looks so good and the new one looks awful

Deep one was my favorite kass skin :{

think they should make hes Skin ton much darker or purple or dark blue

It's a huge improvement, but it certainly needs more deep and dark stuff. His shoulder pads for example are mint green almost, when they should be a dark blue-green. The horns on his armour should be gunmetal or even rusted. The tentacle skirt thing is cool, but above the waist, it's rather bright.

I do really love this skin. I won't complain if these changes aren't made, but I do agree with what you're saying OP. +1

I don't know about that. The only thing I know for certain is: Greedo Shot First.

Upvoted because back when I bought the skin it was the best skin on Kassadin by far, now it's the worst :(item 3070

That darker one is ugly and doesn't fit the new rift.

If you haven't noticed, they have gotten rid of that super dark heavy detail style because it looks messy and unappealing to the eye. There is no longer any true black in the game... 100% black is just too inky and looks wrong now.

They have literally been updating every champ and removing the super dark black shadows/details on them... I don't see any chance of your idea taking flight.
