Why isn't Majestic Empress Morgana a Legendary Skin?
I really can't get over this. I've been mulling over the news of a new Morgana skin since I heard about it: Why isn't it Legendary with new lines?
Various reasons for this inquiry, which all sound reasonable (at least to me):
#1) It's one of the only skins with an actual difference in the Visual Graphics for her skills, compared to other skins (Exile Morgana = a Chroma of standard skills, the exceptions being only by small measures Blackthorne, Ghost Bride, and Victorious; Who all still generally have the same ult, same spell shield, and same Q).
#2) The theme of the skin is antithesis to her general profile persona.
- She's royalty, where the typecast of standard Morgana is generally humble, earthy, and someone who understands suffering.
- She's generally being portrayed in her most "Good" light of any skin release, and the Visual Graphics generally support that.
- She's a CREATOR, not a destroyer; The Lore of the bio is as Follows: "A feared sorceress queen from the heavenly kingdoms, Morgana looked on with disdain as Irelia sealed away the power of a dragon. Crushing her in combat, Morgana soon realized the young demigoddess had hidden that power away, and now ruthlessly searches for a way to return it to its rightful owner." BUT an interesting tidbit in Nami: "When the demigoddess Irelia was bested by a heavenly empress, the seal over Talon's draconic power began to weaken... allowing some of his magic to leak into the world. Once a mere fish who dreamed of being a dragon, Nami has received some of this power, and has found her true form beginning to awaken." (She believes in a godly rule, but that's more of a "Right vs Left" political conversation, rather than a Good vs Evil)
#3) It's generally one of the most up to date and beautiful skins both in game and in Splash Art (Yes; she just got a VG; But they didn't really put a lot of effort into updating her splashes with it, and the themes of those skins were just basically copy/pasted into the new meshes in game, other than Blackthorne)
#4) Her normal chat files do NOT fit this skin! Talking about becoming Evil? Pondering He loves me/He loves me not? I shall show you PAIN? No Mercy? Although she's a deity in this skin, and believes a lot of very inflexible things about gods, it seems her Bio is more about restoration of lost things, not the punishment of Irelia.
Bottom line: I would PAY the Legendary price on this skin to have new conversations, and I don't think Riot is going to find a better Morgana candidate for a Legendary skin any time soon (Probably won't release another Morg skin for 2 years anyways).
I know this is probably wishful thinking, as it's already a PBE thing, but surely...... we could do this...... please?
