AirSonance2 votesThat moment when a skin makes you want to play a champion. Not the worst reason to want to buy a new champion, I guess.

False Promise1 votesso many half ass cheap 750 skins...dissapointing
ThaCobra26 votes750 rp skins are themed skins, they aren't half assed.
Vekkna1 votesCan Riot please get their shit together on these skins? Splash art is beautiful. Model preview gif looks good, too! In-game screencap is both different AND flat-looking.
Why is it that almost every skin has these problems? The 3 images above have 3 different sets of details. For example:
And like virtually every other skin in the game, this one looks like it's shipped only after being stripped of contrast and color saturation. For example, the preview has obviously bright white edges on the weapon blades that just look dingy gray in-game. All the shadows are brightened to gray, and most of the highlights are dimmed to gray.
And what's worse is that this is intentional. PBE skins tend to be more vibrant and detailed before they're sent through the "shitify" machine to remove anything more ornate than a gradient. (See Ezreal Ace of Spades).
Knightsundere4 votesThe gradient being so low in contrast is intentional in that it has to match the surrounding enviroment; the map itself is much paler and less contrasted than the previous map (which, you may notice, influenced the skins of its time (forcing those skins to be re-worked/re-colored to better match the new map)).
If you have a difference in contrast between multiple textures, the overall game feel conflicts and it creates a conglomerate of varying textures that appear to be from different games entirely; not a good thing, from any perspective. The splash art is obviously going to be different than the ingame skin, as it's meant to shock and wow and be colorful; that's what any advertisement of any product would be like; ever notice how bland cereal looks in your bowl? You don't expect your Cheerio's to be busting with a gold shimmer and hue, do you?
Vekkna2 votesI understand that the splash art will look different than the in-game art because they are different mediums. I do not think that the DESIGN should be fundamentally different. For example, I think the Crimson Akali skin is ugly and very poor quality, but its design isn't noticeably different from its wonderful splash art.
Other examples that spring to mind are Zyra's base skin. The in-game design has a completely different skin tone than the art where it starts to turn purple/blue around chest level down to her waist. I think Zyra's model and skins are some of the most beautiful in the game, so it's not a complaint about disliking it per se.
For another example, Blackthorn Morgana's art has a human skin tone. In game it's an undead blue.
In general, the desaturation still bothers me since it makes skins look cell-shaded, flat, and lifeless. Some of the particles are still bold, though, like torches, some auras, the nexus, and some vaulted skins. The disconnect you're talking about is still there.
And it still makes no sense than the model gif, which is supposed to represent the in-game appearance, STILL looks very different from the actual screen shots in-game. I just don't get it.
Pharoah Ramses3 votesYou are on point. Riot seems to take pleasure in reducing the quality of their work before implementing the final product into the release build. The graphics in this game need a huge overhaul, they are rapidly growing more and more outdated looking. And to argue with Vayes, there's no reason champions need to blend in and/or match the map(s). There isn't a "hiding" or "stealth" mechanic for champions where having cyan armor and magenta hair would completely conflict with the stealth system, if the champ is supposed to "blend" with the map they go invisible.
Greater contrast and saturation would a great small step towards prettier graphics, I suppose Riot should also consider having a checkbox option to choose between shitty or appealing graphics, some people just don't want nice-looking things.
KimiNoNaWaSugoi1 votesOrder of the Lotus Zed? 
OfficialLoufa2 votesIt would be cool, but it doesn't fit lore, and while I don't think that lore must to be followed 100%, a very large portion of Zed's lore is about him being lead astray from balance and enlightenment. Which is the base for the skins (in a way, because Ionia in general), A different skin idea for Zed that could be cool, and could play as the "enemy" skin group would be Shadow Clan Zed. Sorry for the wall of text.
cloman1002 votesall i read "balance and enlightenment" ok he need an OotLB skin now
Pharoah Ramses4 votesSince when did Riot care about lore? Have you noticed less and less effort goes into the champion lore as the newer ones are released? Before we know it we're gonna have our own "write your own lore page" feature, take the work off Riot's hands.
