I'm disappointed you can't switch forms at will with Elamentalist Lux. Or even use all 10 forms

With being probably one of the coolest skins in the game, its incredibly disappointing that on an Ultimate Tier Skin, as seen with Udyr and Sona. I can't just switch forms. Essentially this skin turns into a 1350 Skin, that just turns into a different one throughout the game. Now while thats cool for a 1350 skin.

I think it completely ruins it for an Ultimate skin, I was SO EXCITED when i saw the teaser for and the fact that it had TEN forms!!! But then the Riot skins team drops the news that you won't be able to switch forms at will, heck you wont even be able to use all 10 forms in any given game. Like how did this decision even come about, did you have an internal discussion at Riot and go "Hmm maybe our players will like restrictions on this skin without being able to swap forms when they want and be stuck with it until they get some energy to switch, but with that energy can only switch like 3 times".

LIke legit WTF, I love the skin and I applaud the Artists who worked on it, but only being able to Transform like THREE TIMES?? (3 or 4 can't remember). To be honest I didn't think Riot could beat the amazingness that was DJ sona, different sound effects for each form, different SONGS for each form, different VFX, new models, death animations, recall etc. But instead with Lux with get while amazing 1350 skins, that we can't even swap between when we want.

I'll be incredibly disappointed if the idea for this goes through as I think it completely ruins the experience of the skin, especially for one thats suppose to be an ultimate.

EDIT Added onto the fact that I just found out, you don't even get the Icon or ward skin for free when buying the skin , according too Riot KateKhaos you will have get those through other options, which I assume is either pay like 2500RP for all 10 icons, 640 RP for the ward, or some hextech BS.

I actually like the way it's set up - too many options isn't necessarily always a good thing, and personally I would probably spend more time than I care to admit trying to decide which of the 10 I felt like using at any given moment. I think this is a unique way to introduce a different sort of toggle.

Other players need to understand what the hell is going on too you know?

You do have options... it's not like you pick 1 version and are stuck with it for the rest of the game, you get to use a couple of them every game. Sure you can't change them whenever you want (from what I gathered, anyways) but it's still a really neat mechanic.

They do things different with every ultimate skin so I didn't think for a second it was just going to be a regular toggle as Sona's was, and I personally think this was a good way to go about it, and I'll basically be looking forward to playing the skin every new game. Unless you plan on using the skin for one game and one game only, you'll still be able to play around with other variations in the next which is part of why I think it's interesting.

(also 1350 skins don't come with their own voiceovers)

i am dissapointed thaty the only reason they have nature instead of earth is because they couldn't come up with something to depict the power of the earth without thinking it would be brown effects...
