I'm worried about Bandito Fiddlesticks

With every new skin I grow pleasantly surprised at how much effort Riot has been putting into the High Noon line and it has quickly become one of my favorites, so for months I've been fantasizing about what will Riot do when they update Fiddlesticks' Bantido skin "Oh man, the ult will look so cool as a sandstorm with tumbleweed and vultures" until I came to a horrifying realization, the skin is onlt 520 RP.

In a not so distant past this wouldn't have been so troubling seeing how they made Giant Enemy Crabgot such an amazing skin despite its price, however after they confirmed they would stop adding meaningful particle changes to any skin below 1350 there seems to be little hope to cling to. They seemed to make an exception with infernal Mordekaiser but that was most likely because of the theme of the skin would have clashed very hard with the base particles compared to his other skins (not like that excuses King of Clubs Morde having less unique effects than pre-rework but oh well) and I doubt they'll consider the same for Fiddle's skin.

Last hope is they either have a change of heart or make a big change to the rework skins sytem, like increasing the price or something. Otherwise I really hope they at least keep the poncho and sombrero, it's the least they could do.

I have the same fear for Dr. Mundo.

He has this skin that is basically just a chroma right now, Toxic Mundo (seriously, it is just Dr. Mundo in green...). And I always had hope that they would do what they did with Crabgot and Infernal Akali, changing the thematic of the skin into something else more fitting. my idea was a Chemtech skin would fit the old title (Toxic), while giving it a new aesthetic and it could be awesome to see Dr. Mundo with a more serious skin, with a gasmask, tubes, and all this stuff.

However, since Toxic Mundo also ist just a 520 RP skin and they don't do "upgrades" anymore.... I think this skin could turn out way less awesome than I hope it to....
