Anyone notice how the newest skins for Blitzcrank and Thresh improve their hook ?

The High Noon Thresh and the Lancers skin for blitzcrank are ridiculous, Their hook are so misguiding and doesn't represent the hitbox or sometimes have 0 cast time animation. Can we have Skin bans in rank or in competitive? That's literally a huge advantage for those who plays those champion.

Cant be as bad as Steel Legion Lux and her damn near invisible Q animation.

I have a hard time reading Elementalist Lux's [E:Lucent Singularity] most of the time, especially since she can Detonate it the moment it becomes stationary.

Éclipse Leona E is a pay2lose skin so...I Feel you some skins should get their animations reviewed.

I never played Rakan so I can't confirm but why is it pay2lose for you?

His basic skin's Q animation has a longer range for some reason. Maybe it's because of the projectile texture, Idk. But Cosmic Dawn definetly, the other 2 have a little less range by perception.

It's not THAT bad, it's only one millisecond really, but the spell itself is relatively quick. To be honest, I don't think I've ever missed due to somebody actually dodging it, only cause of range or my miscalculated aim. Still beautiful skin.

Don't see the problem with Rakan either. Only his ulti has a "preparation" animation part, when he jumps and turns it on, but you're not supposed to ulti wherever, you're supposed to W first and then ulti, and W seems fine to me.

Every Vlad skin ever. His recent ones, Soulstealer and Dark Water, are soooooo smooth but man his base/other skins ...

The hitbox on all of their skins is misleading because of the "lollypop effect". It's really misleading on lancer blitz though, I'll admit that.

All of worlds when Thresh was played. Every single one of them used High Noon for this reason. A lot of the hooks were bullshit

I used to be laughed at when I told people there are some skins that are P2W in this game. Smoother animation for attacks, Hit boxes that make no sense, Close to invisible skill shots. They all laughed at me and now I am laughing, because it is true.

A lot of skins are banned in competitive for lacking visual clarity. Many have been taken off the list, but as I'm obviously not a Rioter or involved with Pro rule sets, cant say which ones.

Underworld TF Used to be, but he was fixed a few years back

skin bans in competitive are a thing already. i read about it 2 years ago that certain skins have "darker/harder to see skills" like annies winter skin, while in a bush its hard to see her w so these skins are banned from the lcs lol. its just us in soloq that get fucked over by it.

once again showing why patching around less than 0,01% of the playerbase is stupid
