About Aatrox skins... Riot please...
Dear Riot skin art people, why can't you make a good Aatrox skin? Yes it is my opinion that now with his upcoming third skin, none of them are worth it to buy or speak to his character. But it also seems to be the community's opinion considering seeing an Aatrox with a skin in game is like spotting a unicorn.
I buy a lot of skins to support the game and Aatrox is conceptually one of my favorite champs, yet I don't have a skin for him, I wish I did. Aatrox has an awesome model and massive potential for skins. His core character is dark, badass, huge sword and wings, demonic. That's a lot of fun stuff to work with. Here is what you've done:
**Justicar **- you made him "holy" except not really, he looks like his base skin just white with purple, which is an odd color combo. You added "little feather wings" to his head (nothing says bad ass like little head wings!), despite the fact he still dragon like wings on his back on the same skin. The whole skin clashes with itself and his character and doesn't look badass or powerful at all (which is what he is all about), this skin should be renamed Identity Crisis Aatrox.
Mecha - so much potential. He is DARK and BADASS, this could have looked like an actual killing machine mecha model with darker metalic looking colors, sharper edges, cool glowing lights. Yet you used a mid tone blue with a plastic texture with orange and really simplistic body design, he looks like a kid's plastic toy.
**Sea Hunter - **Why a mid tone blue again? Do you have a hardon for blue? That grey on the splash art looks so much more like his character. DARK COLORS, with only bright highlights like his base skin, he is demonic for god sakes he is not fizz. And why is he wearing pants? Aatrox doesn't wear pants, neither do sharks, but shark Aatrox wears pants? And why does his face look like he is confused about where he is? A shark theme for him is great, but it should be a dark, bloody badass shark, not a blue fish wearing pants who looks confused.
Attached see a link to what an Aatrox skin should look like (not my work obviously, something I saw on a previous post and loved). His face should look cold and mean, his color scheme should be dark with color highlights not all around bright, he should look demonic regardless of the theme. Plague aatrox, undead demon aatrox, infernal aatrox with a fire sword and horns, a frozen wastes aatrox like a frost demon... so many cool things that go with his character.
It's not too late for Sea Hunter, some suggestions: make the blue a darker and more neutral tone, get rid of the pants $*!@$(!@, add some chains wrapped around him, and sea themed tattoos and some scars, you know, badass stuff, make his face look much meaner ideally with some sharp teeth showing, kind of important for a shark theme.
Please I want to actually buy an Aatrox skin.
