Blood Moon Elise Concerns
I originally sent this as a support ticket, uncertain where it should be. However, I was told by the support staff that stuff sent to them is not viewed by development staff, and it is more likely to be seen here. So, I'll give it a shot. Certain portions may not make sense, that is because I am copy/pasting.
As to keep it more clean, and easy to read, I'll be numbering my concerns.
Personally - and with consensus of several close friends who enjoy League of Legends very much - I think that the skin does not look like the splash art at all. This, of course, is a big problem. The player who mistakenly buys the skin, assuming it will look just like the splash art, especially if it were me, would be disappointed. I don't intend for this to be stated in a passive-aggressive or rude way, this is all entirely opinion, that I simply wished to voice. Forgive me in advance for whining about something possibly mute.

The rest of the reasons will most likely just be breakdowns of WHY it doesn't look like the splash art. First, being most obvious, is that it does not look like a Blood Moon skin. Where all of the Blood Moon skins look sinister, and even the splash art of Blood Moon Elise look VERY dark - and very cool - the in-game art looks more bubblegum. Very vibrant. Colorful, like an Arcade skin.
-
Things have been changed within the game, like the rope tied around Elise's waist, which does not appear in the splash art. It's confusing. Almost as if the skin started out as something else, and they had to change it mid-way to make a release date.
-
The fingers in the splash art look large, sharp, and have a wispy glow to them which looks VERY cool. In the game, they've lost the wisp, and look more like blue fingernails, rather than replacing the fingers entirely.
-
The face and hair don't really match that of the splash art, but I suppose that's getting a tad bit too picky, but I might as well put it in here, as I've already gone far enough to even submit this, if you're reading it.

If you Google image search "Blood Moon Elise", I am certain you can easily find the deviantArt recolor of Blood Moon Elise, which replaces her wispy appendages and eyes with a red hue, which I think would fit the Blood Moon theme much better, as every other Blood Moon champion is hued in red. I do not understand why this one is the exception.
I just want the skin to be the beautiful black and red skin that it should have been. Dark. Scary. Bloody.
I'd like to re-state that I don't intend to show aggressiveness or anger through my writing, and this certainly isn't a personal attack on whoever responds to my ticket. Simply just an opinion that my friends and I all agree upon.
Please have a lovely day, all y'all at Riot.
