Dawnbreaker Riven Skin Looks & Feels Really Clunky

I was so hyped for this new Riven skin, however it was extremely disappointing, and didn't feel like it was worth even 1350 RP let alone 1820 RP. The effects are pretty cool but it simply doesn't feel like I'm playing Riven when I'm using this skin. Riven's model looks bulky and weird with those flags hanging off her back, her auto attack animation doesn't feel clean at all, and the colors all blur together when you're trying to combo on someone.. meaning you really have to pay attention to the enemy's health bar to ensure you are actually auto attacking them between your Q's (and not canceling them while believing you landed them). I didn't believe it to be possible for a skin to feel worse than the Dragonblade one, however this newest skin officially surpassed it.

I'm sure a lot of hard work went into this skin, so it really pains me for being so hateful of it. As a long time Riven player who has put quite a bit of money into Riven skins over several accounts however, this was the first time I've ever felt so much dislike for a skin. I played roughly 5 games with it and just couldn't handle it anymore, I had to refund it.. this skin is just not for me at all. I'm positive that a better job can be done than this on a skin, this thing is just terrible feeling.

I strongly disagree. While the animations are indeed very different they do feel very smooth once you got a feeling for them. It is indeed very comparable to Dragonblade, you can't really switch from another skin to Dawn every other game, but once you got a few games on her it works perfectly fine (and MUCH better than Arcade with those shitty sounds).

You couldnt be any more wrong.

The skin is fluid and looks amazing, it is really fucking good, pretty much every riven main i know + like almost everyone at rivenmains loved the skin both in visual and gameplay.

I love using the dragonblade skin, and my friend loves the arcade skin. IK a lot of people dont like the arcade skin, but I'm convinced that if you play enough games on any of her skins you will get used to it, and will feel comfortable on it. Its not changing the champion mechanics... you just gotta get used to it
