Elderwood LeBlanc

First of all, from someone who has loved LeBlanc since I first bought her at level 14 when I started last season, thank you for giving her a new skin. It looks really nice :) There will be a lot of negative feedback because really it isn't the best thematically and as a Zyra main, Elderwood Zyra has been my hope for months, but it's still a really nice skin nonetheless.

I'm a Zyra main too, but I'd personally like to see them do something less plant-like in her next skin. Like how wildfire zyra has molten seeds and has nothing to do with plants. The possibilities are there for cool no-plant Zyra skins, I just imagine that Zyra skins take a lot of work considering how particle heavy zyra is and the fact that you have to reskin her plant form and her seeds as well.

I actually hate wildfire solely because her skin like glows orange and it just doesn't look good. I use SKT :)

I use SKT too. Wildfire is actually the only one i don't own because I think the textures are pretty rough, but I like the idea of it nonetheless and would buy it if it had a bit more polish. I just want them to use more good ideas like that and not use her flowery image as a creative crutch

My "negative feedback" is that my first thought was "Oh, River Spirit Nami... LeBlanc?". The color palate is just too similar for me to not make the connection, and too different from all the other Elderwood skins for me to associate it with them.

That's not negative, I see the correlation too. There's just a lot of people not appreciating the fact that she gets a new skin now :)

A new lb skin is nice but i think the theme is wasted with her. i would have rather seen an elderwood skin for someone else

I don't see it working really. Like Bard it makes sense(He already looks treelike even with his base skin, Hecarim basically just is a centaur/satyr which depending on different lores, were either entirely flesh but lived in woodlands or were actually partially plantlike.)

LB is just a trickster/mage. I just can't see how there is any remote things that would make sense to make her basically a dryad.(Going off that, Lulu would actually be a good canidate actually, she already uses Fae Magic, Dryads are usually considered fairies in a lot of lores)

I think a rioter said that making skins was a bit harder for her, but I don't remember the reason. I'm just happy about a new skin for her but sad it didn't go to Zyra.
