@Riot Skins/Particles Team "Advanced Chroma" Idea

Hello there people of Riot/Community,

I recently came across a post where someone was saying they would love it if older legendary skins such as Gentleman Cho'Gath could get updates to match today's standards e.g. new particles. I had originally commented that Riot's current stance on it was to not change the older skins so as not to A. Offend/Peeve off any players who already bought the skin and may not like the changes and B. Allocate resources into something they're not going to be making much more money off of (though that's not the driving factor.)

After this, i tried to think of a middle ground and came up with the idea of an Advanced Chroma for Legendary (or even other tier) Skins. Rather than changing (just) the color of the skins it would change/create particles for them. This way, anyone who likes Gentle Cho'gath as is could keep it without any worries, and those who want new particles like a tea table rupturing up and flying cups for E auto-attacks, could pay to have them added. It gives these older skins a chance to shine again in the spotlight, while also holding true to the people who love it as.

I like this idea.

If people want to spend money to make an older Legendary skin meet current standards, they get to, And people who have the skin and like it as is get to keep it. Not only that but it may entice people who haven't bought it yet to do so, knowing they can "Upgrade" it Viktor hehehehehe

Yes please! Meet the demands of both sides of the story. Hold true to the original while giving an option, to make it something new or more. it's a win win win!!!

obligatory rito pls. actually no. not just that. Riot, actually heavily consider this option. I don't know if it has been brought up before, but this does seem really solid on all sides. By making it a purchasable chroma, only those who WANT it, can/will get it. Not only that, but you gain revenue from the purchases of it/the skin, so the additional work put into the pre-existing skin does not create a deficit. So the gen-wunners who love the original get what the want, the people who like magmortar get what they want, and you get paid.!
