As a proud owner of Black Alistar, I don't really agree with the new VU

edit: http://youtu.be/POe0NVr7Vsk?t=18s There is a much better comparison

I know it's an extremely rare skin, and very very few people have/will see it. I can't speak for everyone but however it is still being heavily modified but doesn't look nearly as badass as it could.

What's with the horns? They're like, backwards... not long at all, it doesn't even look near as ferocious. Why was the hair made orange instead of kept as red? The red fits much better imo.

The new VU of black Alistar makes him look like Ganon had a baby. Also is it just me or is that dark grey and not black?

Not only that the hair runs straight down his back now. Doesn't look great at all

I think you're getting a little worked up for nothing. The orange is better fitting to the new model and the color fits smoothly with the updated Rift. The horns and hair look miles better than the original, which looked like Ali was a teen who got carried away with the hair gel. His horns look infinitely better too, less like Xerneas and more like an actual minotaur. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm just happy he's getting a VU, cause that old model was an udder eyesore in every skin but Infernal and Striker.

we can't compare a jpg model and the ingame 3D model! Here is a good comparison and i find the new one much better than the old one!

So you´re part of the 1% denying everyone else the change of getting a nice skin for ali... and i think that is merely work in progress.

The frontal perspective is off, take a closer look at the horns.

In all skins the main horns actually point forward now, only some of the sub horns are backwards.

I have to agree. I don't and never will own this skin, but having looked at a video comparing the two skins (before and after), he definitely didn't come out as good as he could have His hair should definitely be red like it used to be, and his horns (the frontal view makes them look particularly weird) should be a little wider spread imo, and also pointed up a little bit more.

He just looks so bright. I also agree with the muscle definition (that goes towards all of his skins as well)

wow, he actually does look a lot like Gannon....

That golden Alistar is the shit though

Personally I hate how alistar looks currently, he looks like some sort of horned-pig-troll.

Frankly, he needs actual bull horns, not these... Tree branches sticking out of his head. Outside of that, I think the new VU looks fine.

Hopefully the in game model will be bigger at least. If that happens then I'll truly happy

I like that his models actually have hooves now.

The orange makes it stand out a little better. Maybe a brighter, not quite cherry red? Dark red would look a little hard to pick out.

I don't have this skin, I have golden(-brown). Fried chicken Alistar, I'm calling it.
