Disappointed with Urf the Nami-tee and especially Order of the banana Soraka

After being excited for the april fools skins, I was pleasantly surprised by Nasus, Amumu and Udyr (3 champions I do not play). They are all super silly and awesome, but I feel like the skin design team at riot is afraid to make the girls less sexy or cute that we got two girls in very generic costumes that weren't particularly humorous or that festive. Nami's urf skin is the least recognizable of all the Urf skins and just looks like she's wearing a fur coat. Soraka just looks like a standard sexy beach girl...

Why is Riot so afraid of giving the girls truly silly outfits? Why not put Soraka in an actual banana suit (PBJ time style), or at least make her staff more recognizable? or put a full bunch of bananas on her head? Why not make Nami's spatula more recognizable and silly. or make her costume look less like stylish winter wear and more like an actual costume... I mean the head part is good but the rest..

I don't think its a matter of being afraid to see the community's reaction at a "sexy" skin considering : Kitty Cat Katarina/Battle Bunny Riven is a thing, its just more of the occasion they were in according to the information of the skins. It was indeed a party thrown and the outfits really match their personality if you ask me. I don't find Soraka would be completely into wearing a full suit like that and it would be pretty annoying for a suit like that to be blocking your view while trying to play. Got nothing to say on Nami-tee because there is nothing wrong with that amazing skin.

But neither Nasus nor Udyr's suits really match the personalities they put forward...

Well, it was an April Fools Day party so obviously they would bring their silliest attire, I find Nasus's suit to fit his personality but IMO i've always thought of him as a snobbish rich guy from his personality. I find Udyr's suit fits him the best, because its the perfect thing to be wearing for an April Fools Day party, just because they CAN be serious doesn't mean they ALWAYS have to be serious. I'd assume when out of battle, Nasus or Udyr would be normal people compared to the standards. Take This As An Example of what I mean: Rengar, although naturally a hunt-driven kitty-cat thing-a-ding, has a nicer side as seen in Gnar's lore that he isn't always out to hunt something (Until he enrages Gnar and starts a fight accidentally.) Now, taking that example, I would like to point out that they dont always have to be serious. I mean, in Nasus's situation where your brother is out to kill you because Xerath is a mind-controlling douche, it must be great to have some time to enjoy a party rather then deal with that.

Heartseeker Varus - It ruins his "dark" image.

Forsaken Jayce - It ruins his "hero" image.

And I don't see you complaining about this 2 skins....

Leave the banana alone! Shes adorable IMO!

Just because she has big boobs doesn't have to be about sex. Clothing in general is not big boob friendly. If a girl with normal boobs or small boobs wore that same outfit, a lot less would be said about it. Cleavage happens, its a part of the nature of clothing and big boobs.

As I said in another thread, I am glad someone like Banana has big boobs. A good hearted caring girl rather then someone bad girl flaunting a giant rack looks at Morgana, LeBlanc etc. Boobs are not evil! It just who they are attached too and who is looking at them!

I do think they could of done more with her effects but I am fine with the skin itself.

It's not about the cleavage, it's about not taking it far enough, I'd be fine with the cleavage if her hat were a little sillier and the staff a bit more comical.
