My unpopular opinion on Visual Updates.

I don't like clutter. I get some people are all about how many things you can fit on one thing, but that's not me. I prefer it when things look less but still look good. Less is more and that sort of thing. I also prefer cartoonier graphics over realistic graphics. As I have said before, they are making the visual updates for the new summoners rift (back when the Skarner swarm struck, even though over half of you never even played him ever), and again during the Morde and Sona changes. The skins as they are would look so grossly out of place in the new SR that it would look just silly. Your skin still looks good, just less cluttered. Trust me when I say you would be more upset if you saw your skin in the new SR. "Riot my skin looks so out of place what are you even doing with your lives this skin clearly belongs in a different game FIX IT!" and when they do, you would be happy when they made it what the proposed skin design is currently.

TL;DR: Stop complaining about visual changes, because you'll be even more upset with how they look normally on the SR update that's coming out.
