Missed Opportunity With Officer Vi

I really like the skin and overall I'm happy with how it turned out. The theme is one I'd eagerly anticipated for Vi, the in game model looks good, and the splash art is awesome. Chasing someone down with Assault and Battery feels epic when they are frantically trying to gain distance in order to claw their way into a more favorable position.

However, the skin does feel incomplete in a specific area. Most of the people that feel the skin is lacking bring up her Denting Blows proc not showing a shattering police badge, or the Vault Breaker not giving off any siren sounds when charging up. Although I feel like those would be great additions to the skin, my disappointment in it is with Excessive Force. The moment I noticed the shotgun shells loaded into her gauntlets I imagined being able to punch the daylights out of people accompanied by the intermittent sound of a shotgun being discharged. It was a thrilling experience being able to literally punch someone in the face accompanied by a blast of shotgun shrapnel in FO:NV, and I hoped I'd be able to relive the experience to some degree with Officer Vi. The skin not having this effect wasn't a huge letdown, but I feel like it's not whole without it and see it's absence as a missed opportunity that would add a lot to the experience of the character.

I don't know what it would take for this change to become a reality, and I'd be willing to bet it's something that will never happen. Nonetheless I figured I'd share my thoughts on the content, if not for the slim chance that anything changes, then at least to share with anyone reading this at Riot how appreciative I am that they made this skin. Vi's been my favorite champion in the game since her release and I now have something to outfit her in while I'm apprehending all of the scum let loose onto SR. Thank you for taking this incredible piece of fan inspired content and putting it into the game.
