The in-game model for Victorious Graves is utterly disapointing

Hadfield·Oct 24, 2017·295 votes·11,948 views

Alright so the teaser image Graves has:

http://media.comicbook.com/2017/10/league-of-legends-victorious-graves-1033072-1280x0.jpg

Slick hair with some classy curls at the end
Greasy mustache, fit for a thick cigar
Badass wolf elements on his metalwork, you need strong muscles to carry that much metal
Lee van Cleef nose, sharp as a spearhead

However, the in-game model Graves has

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DM7dXH-WkAE5Iks.jpg:large

Actual Justin Bieber haircut, he looks like he does FIFA pack openings on Youtube
Super metro beard, this guy only vapes
A leg brace, he probably broke his leg when he fell out of meta
Dull, plastic looking wolf elements on his gun and shoulder (Yeah he was nerfed, but that doesn't mean he has to use an actual Nerf gun)

What happened?

I don't think the colors that were used for this skin, the pink/purple look that great.

If it's free content, and they aren't getting any money out if it, they won't try

God this is awful looking. The gun needs to be completely redone and all the colors on the model need to be darkened alot. I agree the shoulder piece looks fake and needs to be replaced by a larger metallic piece. At least he doesnt have a man bun and hipster glasses.

What's the best looking metallic textures in game?

the dull colors aren't helping it. It needs a lot more metallic looking on the gold accents to contrast the marble.

also for some reason the splash is mirrored ???

Not the splash. The preview picture is. Gameplay footage from SkinSpotlight shows it correctly.

Also that's probably not the splash, it's teaser image. Sivir also had teaser image and then different splash.

Now I really don't understand your point. The teaser shows it's on his right shoulder. So it is in the game. The preview image at bottom swaped it.

The preview picture. The one in this thread. The second picture of this thread has it swapped.

They simply used mirror tool to mirror the image before placing them on the background I guess.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELL............

Quess what the skin is garbage but

Does RIOT give a shit about you opinion or any players opinion for that matter?

NO. they just do their own thing and we just have to accept it

Same thing happened with BM DIANA ( Amazing but i mean Amazing Splash art but horrible in game skin overall )

its a free skin that nobody wants, I doubt they put that much effort in.

LordBrascaOct 25, 20173 votes

It looks like a chroma for the classic skin tbh.

QuitQuittingOct 25, 20173 votes

I was just about to create a discussion about it. I think this is the worst victorious skin ever made like. Its disapointing i expected something way more good. Too bad. I really hope that riot will consider more before they release i think there is a hope that this skin gets a better before the release I hope item 3151

So I spent my 4 days of fall break off school instead of doing something fun with my friends, I spent it ranking up from silver 2 to gold 5 and this is what I get? Instant regret I want my silver 2 rank back with my 4 days off school back pls.

FegoneOct 26, 20173 votes

I'm debating to int a few ranked games to get demoted back to Silver, because the ingame skin model seriously looks that bad...

rojo4Oct 26, 20173 votes

Agreed. I don't even feel bad about completely neglecting ranked now.

GelatoOct 26, 20173 votes

This skin is a fat disappointment. It is super hideous and a slap in the face for players who actually put in the work to get to gold. SMH Riot.

rogers good Oct 25, 20172 votes

Well they have shown they listen to the community (the skt t1 sivir incident) so hopefully they will listen. this skin makes him look like a shitty character from lego knights kingdom

Darkpit18Oct 26, 20172 votes

This skin is actually horrible, the bullets don't look that good the moves basically only have a recolor and no effects, and all the models look discusting, the fizz chroma looks better than this.

PaladinNOOct 26, 20172 votes

Which side of him is the wolf ornament on the shoulder even on?

I know winter is coming (and already has here), but daymn!

VelvetCrotchOct 26, 20172 votes

wanted to get gold 5 till season ends to get this skin, cause the teaser hyped me.

but now i dont want to get gold, cause this skin looks sh*t.

imo the biggest problems are:

his colors: too bright, the metal/gold should be darker
the wolfshoulder is a tad too big
the haircut doesnt fit

thought he would look more like this:

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/theorder1886/images/5/54/Grayson_Portrait_-2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150311060505

and why different variation for 3v3, flex etc? (imo the green one looks the "best" - if u can call it that way...)

No point in a free skin if no one wants to use it
