Hi guys,
Nice to see a new zed skin. The concept is very good. Congratulations for the one who created it. Maybe it is something to be considered is: changing the tonality of blue in his skin. He looks like a tranformer. In general all the skins have a good color balance. Zed is, in my opinion, maybe the only one who needs some few changes. Have you considered using darker colors?
Suggestion: Dark oil green + red.
Thanks Numbr
I believe the primary reason they didn't want to make the model darker is because, since he is already using red particles, although they are heavily modified, he would look too similar to his Base skin.
I love it the way it is right now.
It would look pretty damn baller if the white areas were replaced with black and the blue areas were replaced with dark gray or red, but it would end up just being a cooler version of the Base skin, and Riot doesn't typically enjoy doing that because some people (like myself) enjoy switching between classic skins and other skins. And they don't want to invalidate a champion's own default, real appearance, by making a skin that just takes it up to eleven. It isn't really fair.
I have not touched the colours, but added two different vizors. Maybe this will make you change your opinion? :) I might try to tweak the colours too: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/Bfs7fcBQ-project-zed-20-now-with-a-matching-vizor-it-is-the-only-project-skin-without-one-s-why
I have now made a darker version. Follow the link in the previous post :)
I think they chose red because of his death animation/VFX runes. At the moment when he dies he has the exact same visualFX as default, meaning red runes with black shadows.
I don't know if it will be updated though, I could very wrong and they will simply change the VFX of his death animations.
