Is the Sweetheart Annie skin still gonna have orange flames on release?

Bitey001··8 votes·5,554 views

If so, why don't they just copy the Goth Annie flame textures? I am assuming this is not a complicated process.

I collect all the Annie skins, but I can't see myself buying the Sweetheart skin without pink flames.

it's true! I mean, frost fire annie has her fire blue. I don't know about goth annie, but you could just change the color to pink, it's not so hard to do. NO ONE WOULD BUY THE SKIN WITHOUT HER HAVING PINK FIRE!!!

Riots just extermely inconsistent with their pricing, there is no difference between 975 and 1350 skins for the most part (yes their are some minor things) but nothing that people honestly care about. And I agree I feel like they are gonna lose out on more money by not adding particles off the # of people who wont buy it at 750 without particles vs the loss they take 225 rp if they add particles

If you get 1 out of 3 people to buy the skin because of added particles its worth it and I feel like thats probably true in this case

Yes, she'll be using her orange base particles.

But constable trundle got a new pillar and he is only 750

All of the Trundle skins change the pillar and most of them are 750 or below. So there's a few exceptions but that's just one ability. Where as Annie you'd be changing the fire in all of the abilities and and well the orange flames still do fit this theme quite well.

Trundle's pillar isn't a particle effect as it's much more of a part of the character than simple glitter effects or fire. It'd look plain weird to see Trundle with an ice pillar in a police/junkyard/baseball skin that it's kind of necessary that he get his pillars made to match his skin just like Tibbers is made to match every Annie skin. Everyone forgets that Tibbers gets a new skin as well. That being said though, recoloring the fire would be the most basic way to compliment Annie skins since so much work has to go into Tibbers alone. In the past, Riot has stated that 975 skins and up get new particle effects, yet her Annie is with the majority of her skins 975 and up lacking any kind of additional particles whatsoever. KateyKhaos, why do Annie's other skins, like Prom Queen, Reverse, and Annie in Wonderland, which sit at or above the 975 cost, have no special effects other than Tibbers? Frostfire and Panda have special effects, so what about the rest of them?

Yeah, that's why I'd say it'd be weird if they DIDN'T change that for him.

As for Annie, the wonderland skin is an OLD legendary and most all of those have nothing special. Only recent one I can think of that has new effects is Fire Fighter Trist thanks to her VU, though Annie got a VU awhile back and that one still never really got much difference.

You forget Super Galaxy Rumble if your talking about recently released legendaries. Unless you meant old legendaries that got updated or something.

Sukishoo1 votes

Was talking about older ones, hence Firefighter Tristana.

His pillar is actually a model, not a particle, which is why it was changed.

Same; I own EVERY Annie skin but I just don't want this one.

I don't get why Riot makes these 750 skins prime for different particles but then don't add them, for example, Pickpocket Twitch, all they had to do was put bullets like on his mafia skin. Just because it's 750 they feel they need to give a crappier product? If you pay real money just so a champion looks different, it should be worth it, so I don't get why they want to cheat us.

So I'm not the only one that noticed he's shooting arrows out of that gun?

I know people complain about there not being enough cheaper skins, but I'd much rather this skin get pink flames and be 975 than no pink flames and 750 =\

Sirsir2 votes

Well its only a 750. Riot thinks that 750 skins don't get particles. At least for right now...

Just raise the price and copy the Goth Annie flame texture code. Easy profit.

ZombieRapGod2 votes

I agree I think the skin is cute but with the orange flames it just looks bad. pink would be so much better looking since it would match the skin. the orange kinda makes it look cheap and sloppy and not cute.

The Soulforged2 votes

A rioter said that because it was a certain price, it won't get new particles... When all they have to do is copy paste to add them, it just shows that all that matters is money.

Riot, Y U no heart shaped shield for E instead of regular fire ring?

Poptart Evelynn2 votes

I'd just like to input I'm personally not buying the skin simply because it's using the base particles.

Bresn2 votes

Frankstein Annie only has base orange but the color theme is death/gray AND it's a legacy skin yet.... yeah Riot logic.

Sukishoo1 votes

750 tier doesn't get new particles. They always use the base particles. If she had different colored effects and such she'd be a 975.

QueenAqua1 votes

TPA Mundo and Constable Trundle. Look at the effects and listen to the goblet when Mundo throws it. Same price tier, has effects/ new sounds. Sherwood Forest Ashe has green tinged arrows and is even cheaper, priced at 520 RP.

Sukishoo1 votes

Those aren't particle effects. Those are more so part of the champion, since well ALL trundle skins change the pillar. It's kind of like the upcoming Sivir & Naut skins, they got new weapon models because if they didn't it'd look weird.

QueenAqua1 votes

Not really. Trundle is a troll who dwells within the freljord and has ice magic. It wouldn't be weird if he didn't have any change in effects. And again, Sherwood Forest Ashe is a lower price but has particle changes.

Sukishoo1 votes

Yeah it would. Constable for example is a Police theme, so the Traffic cone makes much more sense, same with Junkyard being a pillar of Junk and so on. As for Ashe, those aren't new particles they are just tinted to be a bit green. New particles actually mean the effects that you see visually are entirely different for all abilities (see Heartseeker Ashe and the Hearts/doves/ect)

QueenAqua1 votes

Except the whole point is that we want pink fire. It has nothing ot do with new particles. it's about changing the color of the flame effects to pink. If your gonna argue that Ashe's skin isn't technically "new particles" than asking for Annie's flames to be recolored to pink wouldn't count as "new particles" either. And changing particle color IS particle change due to the fact that it is different from classic particles. It doesn't have to be a significant change to be a particle change.

Sukishoo1 votes

It wouldn't but unfortunately since they've re-defined what they give to these skin classes, so that's on them. Ashe is a much older skin anyway. So If they were to change something like that for Annie, who is a newer skin, then like they said it'd up her price.
