Elderwood bard is one of the most Interesting release skins in the game, it fits his theme perfectly and looks unlike anything else in league, I'm super excited for it, but there's just one thing bugging me.

I'm surprised I haven't found anyone else talking about this.

My problem is with the front end of his weapon/horn, to me it looks unfinished, instead of it being textured to make it look hollow or have some kind of depth, it just looks like a blob of cyan, on his base model the horn has a sphere on the end, but with Elderwood its a flat surface filled in with a single colour.

I just wanna know before I mentally preorder the skin,

Is this intentional and final? Any chance he will get some kind of feature at the end of the horn e.g a pinecone, gem, acorn or swirly design? Or maybe just darkening the colour from the centre outwards so it looks less like a 2d slab of colour and has some depth?

Cheers Glorious Viktor

Yo Glorious!

You are quite correct! The texturing on the weapon isn't finished quite yet, his 3D modeler is still working on it! :D

Oh thank god, I was excited about this new champions play style and even got the rp ready for the bundle, but when I saw the skin it seemed so simple and there weren't even sounds in his taunt. I also want to ask, what about his dance taunt, where is the elderwood meep, will you be adding that in as well?

So the patch is coming out in a few days and while the skin has been updated in many ways the weapon still looks the same, it's a shame really, what happened to the texturing? Once its live is it final? Or is there still a chance to Finnish it off?

Mechbunnies made an amazing piece of fanart with a great solution to the blank spot.

this would fix the issue honestly and simply. I would actually personally make into a pine cone or pointed object at the end but this works too
