Traditonal Skins

Radditz ultimate··2 votes·555 views

Hello Summoners, greetings Riot I hope that anyone will remark my little post, because i wanted to refere to soemthing awesome I guess we all like riots visual updates in evry case, they are really doing a great job BUT i play this game since season 1 and i am sure eventough the updates are AMAZING i will MISS the OLD outward appearences of many champs like Mao, Skarner; Sion etc. SO I had the idea of letting for everyone who purchased the champions BEFORE their the visual update a TRADITONAL SKIN, everyone would have the possibilty to play the champ like in former times, eg. if someone doesn't like a special visual update (I liked Maokai in his former looking way more for example) or just wants to remember old times. Thanks to <Riot for all the features and the love they give, while creating new things, but this would make the game totally perfect in my eyes. i would really enjoy your points of view and opinions, i hope you will answer and maybee someday if tehre are enough interest people riot will make a survey or just add the tradiotanal skins! Have a Nice Christams Dudes! Thanks to Riot again, You are AMAZING!

Oh, at least im ahppy that they are more people who think the same way. I think they ve got enough money, don't you? and is it such an act to put a traditional skin in? I mean they already created the skin they just have to add it... Anyway thank you for your comment! I am kinda disappointed from riot :/

They'd have to link it up to his new bones. Old Sion has 2 legs, new Sion has a peg-leg, and walks like it. People would complain if it had the old Sion model limping, not to mention that the model was not made to fit the new animation skeleton.

They would have to make an entirely new skin to have a traditional skin for an update this huge (look at the Trundle traditional skin, for example; he has the build of the Troll King, not of the original suffering, disease-ridden troll outcast).

No, it wasn't made due to the fact that his old look had "human bones" on his outfit and that was a nono for china. So the update changed the look and didn't include the Traditional skin.

Yeah, they've said that in a big discussion for people that want to look it up. Outside of that they've said, and it's clear in many cases, that they can't depict characters with human bones because it's not allowed in other regions. It's why, in the past, they had several different splash arts for regions because they wanted to keep them visually appropriate.

Like why Karthus looks less skeletal after his VU happened, and the same is apparent for the Sion VU. Now they want to keep all content that they release the same, which is also what happened recently with the Graves splash art where they had to go back and remove the Cigar instead of just having an alt done for the region where they couldn't depict that.

Personally I will NEVER miss the way Mao used to look. He was awful looking before his update.
