I want to preface this by saying if you agree with me please give this an up vote so this can be changed, the more attention this gets the more likely for it to happen.

I want to ask Riot to redo the resistance Caitlyn skin. To try and make the skin look better overall, she needs some high quality skins, I mean let me put it like this, I love Caitlyn and the genre of Steampunk, along with Piltover, but any of a champion like Quinn, even her classic skin > All of Caitlyn's skins in my opinion, the resistance one has potential but it needs to look more like the splash art. Caitlyn I decided to compare the differences by looking at the splash art and the model of the champion, most of it comes down to texturing, only the face model needs to be smaller, the model for the boots and the shoulder guard slightly and also her whole body kinda needs to be flipped but that part isn't as big a deal since it still contains everything on it. this is the comparison, the glove doesn't have the gap in it either https://gyazo.com/601583bf7b2f04a5304572855eef700d

I understand this is a lot to ask for, but quite frankly Caitlyn could really do with this, her skins aren't the best of all but this one spoke to me the most, I love Steampunk but this one was the most interesting one, a resistance sniper; this game is beautiful and what I personally feel is the small touches are beautiful, the little animals in the jungle that wander and such. I personally feel that Caitlyn could be so much better, the work on the skin is decent but it could be much better, I understand it's difficult to make it identical to the splash art, model altering is time consuming and so is the re-texturing but this is what makes the difference between a well-made skin and a poorly made skin.

TEXTURE ALTERATIONS

  1. Make Beret paler shade of red, slightly orange.
  2. Correct the hair colour, like this is the most important part for me, forget lighting, it needs to be changed properly to that reddish brunette, you don't even need to change the model it'd take too long but make it the right colour please.
  3. Correct the colouring on the gun, almost no problems with model and hardly noticeable.
  4. The colour of the clothes is off, it should be darker and less vibrant.
  5. the rolled up sleeve on the left arm of slash art and right arm of the model should have a different colour on the inside, egg coloured almost, not green.
  6. The metal style belt things have really good looking shine and such, but it's the wrong colour, it needs to be more brassy.
  7. The make-up around the eyes and for the lips is wrong
  8. the glove on the left hand of slash art and right of model needs to have the rectangular gap for it to work.

MODEL ALTERATIONS

  1. The head needs to be slightly smaller, less defined more petite(Not too important)
  2. The boots have a defined heel, not flat like in the model.
  3. I don't mind about this too much but the bullets on the shoulder aren't even on the model.
  4. Correct the shoulder guard model.

EXTRA ALTERATION

  • The skin is the wrong way around, Caitlyn is right handed meaning as we can see from the splash art the shoulder guard must be on the left shoulder, and everything else is visibly the wrong way around.

Riot's never redone a skin just because of community requests. On the very small chance she receives a VGU (which she absolutely doesn't need) then all of her skins will be redone.

She's one of the older champions and her older skins show it, but I personally LOVE her Lunar Wraith skin and it's the one I play on her. Safari is my second favorite skin to play. I know they're both legacy and not as readily available but they're well worth waiting for rereleases.

I still think she should be changed though, forget if they don't usually do, that skin needs it.
