@Ironstylus can we talk about all these new VU's?

First of all, I'm pretty neutral on them in general. There's aspects I like about them, some of the new ones have nice ascetics to them. There's aspects I don't like about them, as they seem to be losing details in general. A few have been an improvement but it seems some have been a step backwards.

My first question is are you guys trying to get all skins lined up to complement the new SR? This seems to be how they are oriented.

My second question is can you guys try to keep some of the older detailing intact? I can see that you are trying to keep some detailing on the new ones, but they generally aren't as detailed as the old ones. Even when zoomed out, some larger, higher def monitors can still pick out those details and it's probably not going to be too long until the 4K TVs start leading to 4K monitors. On some like nightraven fiora, I can see some details are still there, but the new color scheme mutes it on her.

Third question: would you guys consider having traditional textures for champs with big texture changes? Desparada Cass comes to mind as someone who needs a traditional texture.

Final question (I hope): what level of feedback is riot receptive to comments on the new VU's? For example the siren cass skin, that's one I've been on the fence about getting. However I'm not terribly pleased with the new tail theme even though I think the rest of her has potential. Or crimson Akali's arm and shin guards, I'm not sure the colors you choose are working. Also the runes on her kamas will be missed.

Also Leona not being that bright gold is just plain wrong. Wrong I say. Bring back the bright gold!

At the very least, they could give her some back armor like what she had in A New Dawn. That space is just... so empty.
