Anyone else dissatisfied by Haunted Zyra?

I really like the animations for the spells and the plants, but Zyra's model just doesn't really look pleasant. Most of the wild beauty that Zyra has is gone. I get that it's Halloween themed and meant to be dark and creepy, but does she need to look so dreary? In addition, her appearance doesn't give off that sense of "this is a powerful caster you don't want to mess with". Again, the spell and plant animations are superb and really feel awesome. Zyra herself just doesn't look too great.

I'm a big fan of the skin, and will certainly get it as soon as it comes out, but I agree that the model is definitely the weak spot. The hair looks static, the skirt looks dingy (she's a statue, why does she even need clothes?) and the wings look like mediocre shoulder pads. I like the way the true form looks (for the passive), but I agree the base model could use some refinements. I guess some of these decisions, particularly with the wings, were with the aim of preserving the base model's silhouette, but I think it could still be executed better.

I guess she is supposed to give out the vibe of an Angel/ supernatural being you see (statue) when you enter a graveyard. All the tombs and stuff like that showing that the entire graveyard is under her power.

The wings are bad... terribad... the rest is great IMHO (love the animations).

i agree, the zyra model itself needs more work. plants and particals are amazing. there are allready threads regarding this issue.

Im glad im not the only one, i thought the haunted one they spoke of was going to be better than i imagined, ended up not so great. you character just doesnt look as powerful yet flattering. plants and ult is pretty awseome, the look they gave her just wasnt.
