Let's talk about Headhunters?

As a real fan of a headhunter concept I think that Riot should update Headhunter MasterYi and Headhunter Rengar because they are somehow crap comparing to Headhunter Nidalee Headhunter Akali and Headhunter Caitlyn .

For xample, MasterYi and Rengar are missing those red lights and animations on spell effects that are common on other Headhunter skins. Look at Nidalee Q, than look at her sound and animation when he jumps in her cougar form? Caitlyn and Akali also have speciall effects, futuristic animations etc...

What if Rengar eyes glow Red instead of Yellow? There should also be a red trail of the air behind him when he jumps similar to the trail that Akali leaves behind her when she ults? I think that would be awesome :O :O I mean...comparing to others Rengar looks like he took someones mask and weapon...he should also be somehow futuristic like the other Headhunters.

I have an example how should HH Rengar be updated:

-Make his armor darker gray. -Make the metal things on his mane red instead of yellow and make his eyes glow red. -Add the special animation behind him when he leaps from his ult or out of the bush.

Also there are some details that should be included like 3 red dots (lasers) on his mask similar to the ones of a predators from the movie since the whole concept of a headhunters is taken from that movie I think :D :D

Anyone like my ideas? :3

Hey Tetreb1992!

At this time, we don't have plans to update prior skins. (That isn't to say that it won't ever be done, just not right now).

The Headhunter line has been ongoing for several years, as you've seen. Skin lines tend to evolve (become more refined) over time, which is why you're seeing a bit of a change in the overall look of these skins. This is also true for other skin lines, such as Blood Moon.

Hope this explains things a bit!

Ty for your response man. I know that you have more important job to do now, I just wanted to know if old headhunters will be as good and badass as the new ones ^^ Ty again :)

The actual Predators don't have glowing eyes though, while their gears are high tech and fancy, they don't make lights on them and all, at least not all the time.

Not sure why it's now deviating from the source material but oh well.

The last few headhunter skins have been very far off from the original Predator concept.

The glowing yellow eyes, though, actually is a staple of the Predator. This image shows the glowing eyes of the mask through the cloaking field. And this image shows the glowing mask eyes as well.

I agree that the latest HH skins don't really follow the old Predator template. But I also wanted to point out to you that the glowing eyes are part of the Predator style, and to the OP that this is why the eyes glow Yellow instead of Red.

Thx for the correction.

You're correct that they don't glow all the time. In the films and games, the eyes will glow momentarily and then go out. This seems to happen when changing vision modes, and when generally intimidating their prey.

MasterYi Rengar bleh. Akali Caitlyn Nidalee awe.

MasterYi : "I'm seeing a trend here." Rengar : "Maybe if we were women we'd get some better treatment." MasterYi : "I have just the thing." puts on bright yellow sun dress, and hands Rengar a pink one Rengar : "What kind of stats does this give?" MasterYi : "No idea, but Draven said it was OP." Rengar : "Are they always this tight up front?" Akali : "Yes." MasterYi Rengar : "AAAAAHHHH! Don't sneak up on us like that!"

Make Rengar's ebola invisible like Nidalee's f***ing spear.

(Please don't take that seriously.)

Then it really would be ebola, lol

The invisible projectiles is something we're currently investigating. Unfortunately, it's not a cut and dry repro case, and we're working to find the root cause of the issue. We have a few leads, though.

No offense, but I like how it takes a skins person to make an off-topic statement about a bug that's been going on for awhile.

This has been addressed several times in the Report a Bug section, most recently by Riot Galetta.

I like the colour combination in Cait and Akali.
