Riot, could we get some small changes to Project Yasuo to bring him in line with the other skins?

ACTIVATED PROJECT: Yasuo

So I think a lot of people can agree that the new project skins are amazing. They look sexy as hell, are super clean, and make everyone using them feel like cyborg badasses.

However, it seems like a minority (myself included) feel that Project Yasuo is distanced from them due to two factors: Color and sharpness. The project skins have very sharp color contrast (white and primary colors, e.g. Zed and Yi), while Yasuo is sort of an overall dull gray. Moreover, it's not really even the same gray as those worn by Fiora and Leona, which have more of a whitish hue to them as opposed to Yasuo's darker gray shades.

I think the model itself looks great, and I saw this amazing custom skin retexture on reddit which I'm attaching here:

with the original source post (https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/3kdrlz/custom_skin_dl_activated_project_yasuo_retexture/)

While I think this retexture is a little bright in terms of particles and the blue scarf ( I really liked the old brown one better), I think it's a great example of what the skins team could do for Yasuo, which would only require a chroma-level effort. I really hope you guys see this and consider making a couple of us fans happy for such a great line of skins.

EDIT: Clarity and formatting

Yasuo is already up to date he needs nothing more. Leona however because she still didnt got her visual update her project skin looks terrible too

At the very least they should update his Recall so that he has some flair for his exit...

I like the border but i kinda like how he looks more grey and less new than the others he is suppose to be the prototype but i would like him to be included with the other project skins

Look, when you bought the project Yasuo skin, you Bought it because you thought it was badass, that is why you bought it, you cant just ask for them to give you Free changes on a skin you AGREED to buy,

You dont just go to the store and buy an Optimus prime toy, then later see that the new Transformer toys are alot sharper and made of metal instead of plastic and go, "Hey, i bought this when it was the coolest thing ever, but now i want to get a better one for free, i mean i already bought it so i have every right" Nope, Riot has other things to be focused on rather than waste time on a skin that everyone who has Agreed to buy back then but want it better now that "new hot stuff" have come out to be fixed.

You Dont get a border either, Yasuo didnt go through First Strike, so it would be unfair for people who paid the full amound on First Strike week, to give the people who owned him a border.

So You get PROJECT: Yasuo as a skin and also
