Wow. These skins are seriously amazing, I was excited for the Nautilus skin as soon as the splash art was leaked onto the PBE by mistake. However, I do have one small complaint (that's also not a complaint): the price.

Each of these skins will be 750 RP each. Sweet, I can get awesome skins for relatively cheap, BUT (here's where the complaint comes in), the price tag limits the skins in terms of what they can do. There are no special animations (esp. recall), no particle effects, etc. These have so much potential, and I'd gladly pay the 975 or 1350 RP for these skins.

I'm digging these fully-armored, full face masked skins they're putting out. I'm probably the only one who likes them, but I dig that stuff hard.

Here's to what I hope is the beginning of a new skin line!

The skins remind me of Kingdom Hearts where the Keyblade Masters had armor. It was all mysterious in KH2 when we thought these warriors were from the future or something :P

I think the concept is solid, I like the cheaper price than normal, and the only thing I think they're missing is a different death animation where they fall apart and it's revealed that they were just empty armor shells all along.

Because that was my first reaction to the leaked splash art and I think that it would be cool.

When I saw these skins my mind immediately shot to Diablo. Ashe reminds me of the look of the best gear set for the Demon Hunter, and it's called Marauder for God's sake, so if it's a coincidence, it's a really, really odd coincidence. That, and the Inquisitors look like the Angels from D3, given the main color of silver with gold and blue highlights with the face obscured by shadow.

Fully agree, I would pay more in a heartbeat for some particle effects etc to complete the skins. Though I will say I'll still be happy if it doesn't happen considering I almost cried with joy at finally seeing a badass ashe skin, THANK YOU RIOT! Took forever but you finally gave ashe a strong skin worthy of her badassery :D

It would be nice if their colours could be enhanced a bit, so that yellow, silver and red could pop out more. They currently look a bit dull don't they?

Yeah honestly if they took more time and made them better, I would not a single problem with the price

So if Naut is 750, will his anchor particle not match the anchor he's carrying then?

The Ashe skin is really strange. It feels like a completely different character.

Ah yes, why can't every skin be a legendary skin.
