My thoughts on Dauntless Ahri~

I actually have mixed feelings about this new skin. It's a whole new feel to ahri which I can enjoy but I wasn't expecting that a skin like this would be created for her. I'm really in love with the recall animation :3 face, ears, and new orb and ult paricles. Although here are some things I couldn't stand while playing her:

  1. Her combo doesnt look right with the charm being its original pink color while the particles/colors for her q, w, & r are different as well as much darker. It looks silly and if you guys can't change the color of charm, at least make a skin concept that would look good with it.
  2. I am not a big fan of the headpiece on Ahri, as I feel it is a bit too much on her & I would much rather see fuller hair that goes well against her cute big fluffy ears in this skin. Hair can do A LOT for Ahri & I believe if you remove the headpiece and give her fabulous, long, straight, & flowing hair it will make her an instabuy ;). This is bothering me the most because currently her hair is flat, looks like a helmet, & is clipping through the armor on her back.
  3. Her whiskers are too light. I didn't even notice them there in the first place I had to look very hard. Maybe make them a tad darker?
  4. I'm not a big fan on the length and shape of the boots and length of the shoulder pad spike things but otherwise I think this skin can be pretty great if changed up or made smaller.
  5. The color palette and theme is not my favorite. Pink doesn't make sense for the Dauntless series, and is not really gender neutral. The tails to me feel like something I'd see in a custom made skin but I don't expect it to be changed. Maybe add paricles if possible? This is not as important as anything else.

Remember guys, these are just my opinions c: Wasn't expecting an armored Ahri skin but I still like the skin. I just think it needs some improvments especially with the headpiece and hair. Post your own opinions, tell me what you think about it! (Moved from PBE)

I agree with you on the color scheme and her head piece.. Honestly to me, it kind of looks like a reworked Midnight Ahri, especially with the headpiece, the gempiece on her neck, and the thing on her thigh (not sure what that is called). I feel disappointed because I really like concept of the skin, but it seems rushed and it could have been much better.
