Arcade Sona rework needs improvements!

Reflecti0ns·11/10/2014, 4:14:40 AM·35 votes·2,386 views

After the Sona rework, I feel that Arcade Sona does not have an Arcade-y effect anymore, especially compared to the other Arcade skins, such as MF, Hec, and Veigar. I know that Veigar has it as a legendary, but MF and Hec still look nice compared. I don't see why not Sona can be the same. First of all, proper particles are missing. Second, the power chord (passive) indicator is like classic Sona, it should be arcade-y and pixel-ey kind of like Arcde MF's speed passive. Overall, I think that she should be as Arcade-y as the old Arcade Sona, maybe even better. I hope you guys can fix and improve this skin. Thank you for reading and fellow sommoners, can you support this by upvoting so Riot can see? Thanks for supporting! -Reflecti0ns :)

She also needs a cool recall like MF and Viegar.

Agreed.

Agreed (personally I mostly dislike the lack of "buff" icons). While they're at it I think they should do some work on Celestine Soraka too. In fact, I'd like to hear Riot's stance on improving the quality of certain skins after reworks. Just a "We're not going to do anything" would be nicer than utter silence on the matter.

Yes! They have no more shoes and potion icons :(

I agree. It's not enough to see a different ulti from base. Please riot, give the first arcade skin the same love as you've given the last arcade skin(s).

As someone who owns both Arcade Sona AND ArcadeHecarim , I find Sona's Arcade skin to be a lot more lackluster than Hecarim's. Purely because there is no RTB animation (have you seen Arcade Hecarim's??) on top of the fact that all of her emotes like /dance /taunt except /joke are all the same as the regular.

Frankly, it feels like the designers cut corners on Arcade Sona when you look at the quality of Arcade Hecarim in comparison.

Yeah i was gonna say the skin feels...off, and i am still waiting on a recall animation for her. I mean come on all the other arcade skins have one, lets give her one too.

I agree, but it's not really comparable to Arcade Veigar which is a legendary skin. (But Arcade Hec exists)

I empathize with this completely. I've been telling Riot to fix her skins since they downgraded them 19 weeks ago. Riot doesn't care bout Sona, they won't do it no matter how much we demand it. Nineteen weeks of inaction prove this.

Because Riot likes making one or two skins out of all the skins 'sub par' than the rest.

Sadly, (the only example I can think of) Pool Party Ziggs doesn't have a recall. ... But all the other Pool Party skins do. :/
