A TLDR repost of my Frostblade skin thoughts

I broke down the major arguments about the skin to the best of my ability. I tried to leave out most of the opinion and just give the facts that I felt were the most important. The butt part I decided to just cut out because I believe that it is the least of her problems and is the least likely thing to be changed.

First I want to examine the original splash art and what made it so good.

1. Her Face: Irelia has always come off as a stern, serious woman who has a job to do and is focused on it and if you get in her way she will slice you to ribbons. Her eyes are focused directly at you, her brow is furrowed and her mouth has a slight upturn like she is seeing something she doesn't like and she is ready to take care of it.

2. Her Tech: She appears to be wearing some sort of hextech modifications on her head and shoulders. It gives her another color besides blue to create a nice solid two color scheme that doesn't clash.

1. Her Face: Gone is the stern look, without zooming in you cannot even tell that she is looking at the camera. It looks like she is just vaguely staring off into the distance. There is no concern or any emotion at all, it is a basic almost slack jawed expression of complete disinterest. Her nose stole all the protrusion from the jaw and she has almost no defining traits that you would associate with the original face.

2. Her Body: There are too many clashing colors, There are multiple shades of purple and pink everywhere, there is silver and giant splashes of white. While the blue highlights of her old skin have almost completely disappeared.

The only thing you could even maybe consider blue is the legs and arms of her jumpsuit and stomach area. Her blades appear almost completely purple as well. Even her eyes almost appear to have a reddish purple tinge to them. Gone are the golden eyes of her other skin.

I feel that there are way too many contrasting colors. Her old skin used only two major colors to simplify and highlight her important features. There is nothing cold or intimidating about this new version.

Why does she have a ring of fur around her waist? This serves no practical application and is simply distracting.

This image was the first thing I thought of when I saw her in game.

Most of the skin is not viewable often because of this, it is comically large. It looks much too much like they borrowed heavily from the Woad Quinn skin.
