Piltovers Finest - Officer Vi and Caitlyn

This has been bothering me since Officer Vi was released. So, Cait and Vi are partners, with a special passive between them and everything. They even both have Officers skins. I love the skins, but in all honesty, i feel like Cait's is pretty lackluster, but not for the reason most would think. I don't care about any special effects or anything that Cait's version doesn't have. MY particular issue with it is that despite Vi and her being partners, these skins don't match each other in color scheme or looks except that they are both officers. Cait's is a lighter blue in game and the badge on her hat is different from Vi's in game. Though the different badges are probably an overlook by Riot, the different colors just don't work, esp since Riot had Officer Cait and Vi go on sale together with Mafia Jinx for around a week in the February after Officer Vi's release. If these skins are meant to be together, I would think Riot would make them look like they belong together by making them match in color at the very least like in the picture above done by a Deviantartist (not me) that i found. If a Rioter responds, please tell me if there are any plans to make Cait's match Vi's. The color change would be refreshing and I'd enjoy the skin a lot more if it was as dark a blue as Vi's.

Hey PrincessKairi,

At this time, we don't have plans to update Officer Caitlyn.

While yes, these skins are meant to be follow a similar thematic, they're not copies of each other. When we work with a particular thematic, we try to make each skin in the line a bit unique.

I think a good skin line to look in this case would be the Blood Moon line. While they're all Blood Moon skins, each of them has something a bit different to them.

Riot had Officer Cait and Vi go on sale together with Mafia Jinx for around a week in the February after Officer Vi's release. If these skins are meant to be together

This particular sale is referencing the debuff. Whenever Jinx is on an opposing team to Caitlyn and/or Vi, they each gain a debuff titled, "Catch me if you can!"

Adding on what Katey said, Officer Cait is an older skin. I'm not surprised that the colour palette and other small details aren't consistent.

Besides, what police officer have you ever seen wearing a halter top and mini skirt? I think Cait's making her own fashion statement there.

edit- I'm being downvoted for trying to make a joke here. Ouch these forums are harsh.
