The Mass Texture Update for over 50 champions.

I'd like an opportunity to point out how I feel and ask other people how they feel about some of the the texture updates in their current state on the PBE.

This is a tactic to make your game look more in tune with the recent work you've been doing. We understand this, You wanted a quick solution to a problem you foresee once the new map update is out and you'd like to have the game "In-sync" with itself in the art department.

The skin and champion work lately has been A-MAZING. And I know almost everyone feels the same, Just ask our wallets. My friends and I personally love new skins coming out. It's something to look forward to. But there are certain things that grow on a person after years of play, And some of the quality changes incoming in the near future might need a little bit more effort to keep our favorite champions shining visually.

So, I'd like people to have a look at some of the visual updates, Some of them are no doubt amazing, and beautiful. And if you really enjoy a certain champion update, or have a certain pet peeve about another. I'd like this to be a place to comment briefly on who, and why, without going into too much detail.

For me personally. I've always loved Leona. Then I almost loved Diana as much. They are perfect. I'm not opposed in any way to bringing them up to date. But color changes can have a large impact on our favorite champions. And it honestly hurts a little when this kind of thing happens.

  • In reference to the Leona Texture Update.

So take a poll, Comment briefly on positive and unfavorable changes, so that people have a chance to hear you out, and be constructive.

I like most of them, Nautilus is the only one I think is a bit overdone, Akali I'm mixed on. The rest seem pretty good though

A link to the tentative update would be helpful.

The colors will probably pop more on the new SR, since it's alot less bright. So while alot of things appear muted, i doubt it'll stay that way when the change happens.

I am sad to see some detail go (like the cracks on the back of corki's copter), but it's not like it was adding much at all to the game, so it's no biggie.

I'd like to see a bit more contrast on Orianna - in the pictures I've seen, she looks like a confusion of flat colors. Black lines pls?

Nautilus is being re-done to look a bit more grungy, apparently. Akali should go into the same category, imo; she just looks like blank colors. I always thought she had one of the nicer in-game models.

Leona should be more vibrant, IMO. She looks a bit too plastic-y and not metallic enough.

tl;dr: Riot should notice that a lot of their champions are wearing metal, and then re-do them do that the metal looks like metal, not plastic.
