Can we not have another Ezreal reskin please?
Besides Pulse Fire he has no skins which change his particles drastically, and even Pulse Fires particles are pretty underwhelming

Hey King Odarth!
I wanted to pop in and explain a little bit about the though process behind selecting Ezreal as the Ace of Spades.
When discussing a new set of 750 RP skins, we came up with the idea of playing card skins. It seemed like a pretty cool idea since we already had Jack of Hearts Twisted Fate!
We were looking to round out the roles of champions in this skin line, and we were looking to add an ADC to the mix. We needed someone to fit the Ace of Spades (we considered Mordekaiser for this, but ultimately decided 'clubs' shape language was much stronger for his weapon.) There's an idiom - cocky as the king of spades - which implies someone is cocky or boastful, and we felt that fit Ezreal's personality pretty well.
Why not other ADCs? We felt that other ADCs were better suited (no pun intended here) for other thematics.
Wow, I didn't even realise that. That's really a shame for such a particle friendly champ. And then he gets put into a 750 skin set again...
I really feel like the playing card theme has a ton of potential. I think using it for 750 skins is really missing an opportunity to make top quality skins that summoners want. There is so much opportunity to play with they particles and abilities to make them card or suite themed. I think a 750 recolor just seems a little lackluster.
My only beef with the ez skin is that at a passing glance you can't even tell it is ezreal. If you want a fancy dressed ez, just get debonair anyway.
I think he didn't need another skin and this is even worse then the last skin he got :/

He shoots fucking lava.
I actually like this Ez skin (maybe because I'm almost done watching all four seasons of Tudors). I just really don't buy skins without particle changes anymore. I'd have bought Debonair Ez with white particles,or pink/blue. I'd definitely buy Spades Ez with black/dark blue particles.
I also call bull on the 'rounding out the roles' for this skinline. TF is a midlaner, so why give another midlaner this skin thematic? I don't really care who you gave the skins to, but that reasoning makes little sense.
Of all the champions, he is one of the easiest to make particle recolors for too... I feel pretty disappointed in this skin :/ At least make the particles black or something.
I definitely feel like riot is more concerned with quantity over quality. I'd rather have, say 4 skins with new particles etc in a time frame rather than 7 recolors that don't change the feel of a character and leave me wanting more. Le sigh :(
It stinks since Ezreal is now going to have 7 "720 tier" style skins that all only change his costume and do nothing with his particles and the only other option is the thirty dollar Ultimate skin that doesn't seem worth the price anymore when compared to the other two Ultimates that've been released since.
This especially stinks since he's gotten two skins practically back to back so we wont be seeing any more for the Explorer for some time.
i agree with King Odarth about the Ezrael skins. i have seven of them now, i think, from my mystery box addiction, and they are mostly pretty lame. pulsefire is the only one i really use, because it's the only one that's interesting. new particles for some of them would go a long way to fixing the persistent bleh that is Ez's wardrobe.
Ez has a lot of skins in general, all of which are pretty decent however I believe he now has the highest skin count. Riot skin designers should probably put Ez on the back burner for a while in the skin department. Other champs could use some of that skin love right ...
However his new skin is nice an well designed.
