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.

let's just walk out of this one as quietly and quickly as we can. troll bait at its finest.

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.

But there isn't any options, you can't switch between any form at will, I would be fine with even TWO options, but no you can only switch 4 times game, and thats only when you have enough power.

What your paying for is basically a bunch of 1350 skins, but you dont even get to use them all.. And you don't even get to Switch between them, you have or go back, which I find ridiculous.

Nothing bad happens when you are given options, undecided people sure you'll have a problem, but i'd rather much have the option to use them all then to not be able too.

Its a restriction for no other reason then for people that can't decide.

To many options is only a bad thing when it comes to actual stuff, having to many options of cosmetics.... I can see in no way how thats a bad thing.

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)

You pick start with Light ok? Then you have FOUR options to pick from, but if at some point during the game you want to go back to one of those four options you can't, because you already picked one of those options, instead you pick one of those options and that turns into one of the different forms. (Example fire+water= Dark).

But your stuck with that second one until you get energy then you can switch, but you have to pick between one of the other options. Now once you pick that option you are stuck with it for the REST Of the game..

See now okay maybe just being able to toggle between 10 different forms isn't the best option, but I think there could be a MUCH better system for this.

For example, you start off with light, ok when you upgrade too the second option you get lets say water, ok now you can toggle between water and light whenever you want, so when you DO get energy to upgrade again if you toggle on light it'll bring up the menu of the first 4 (Now 3) options you had, to pick a 3rd option if you so wanted instead of upgrading the water one. BUT if you had picked water or any other one for the matter you pick from the first 4 upgrade water with w/e and it'll combine into one of the new Tier 2s.

At this point you can now freely toggle between Light, Option 1, Option 2. Instead of just being stuck with that exact option you picked last for the entire game. (Sinc they aren't any better then the first options so they don't feel like "Upgrades).

With this system, it gives more options, which you can choose up to 3 at will, and being able to go back to the original options if you so please, instead of just choosing one. Or being stuck with the last one for the whole game.

The system Riot proposed jsut adds restrictions for no other reason then to add restrictions and thats never a good thing. I"m fine with having a different toggle skin, but i want to have SOME options at any given moment, and not just be stuck with a slightly better 1350 skin every time I "Upgrade" which I think is incredibly lame especially for a skin i paid $30 for.

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...
