SSW Skins & My Thoughts

So here I am looking at some art before the skin gets released : http://i.imgur.com/Z8iqPKJ.png I'm all like, "This looks awesome. Such detail. Would be awesome if this could happen". Unfortunately, when I saw the skins on the PBE update on S@20, I felt very disappointed.

There was so much potential with these skins to add some awesome texture and maybe even a little bit of model tweaks. Instead we got plain white tees for each skin with a bad mix of colors. When I say a bad mix of colors, I mean take a look at Imp's and DanDy's skins here. The Twitch skin looks like the gross pink flesh is showing underneath his hairs and the Rengar skin looks terrible between the brown color mix with white and the lack of effort that was put into the chest area with the plain white tee. Not a hood. No shoulder piece. Just plain white. I'll admit though the Thresh and the Talon look pretty sick, though the Talon could use a bit more detail like the rest of the skins.

The only other complaint I have is just with the skins and the terrible mix of colors with Looper's Singed skin. Red "watchamacallit" on his face with a green cup and green poisons? Actually the cloth he has on his face looks like blood oozing from his mouth. Pretty gruesome right?

Anyways, i'm just saying i'm fairly disappointed as the past team skins have been better. This set lacks detail and attention. I imagine Riot HQ talking about developing these new skins, "Let's just recolor them white! We have better things to do!" (talking to you Rengar). I just feel Riot could've made these so much better.

Anyways, I don't have much more to talk about and I don't like to trash about stuff on the PBE because it can be changed. But I felt this just had to be addressed as it concerned me and friends of mine.

TL;DR They're terrible. Had lots of potential.

Twitch is worst by far, Talon is best by far. Quite a disparity.

Going to go with Rengar, the fur color just isn't all that fitting...

Best is Talon, love the jacket especially. Plus the blades look cool on his W and R. I also like Singed simply because his shield looks cool, and I don't even use Singed.

Aren't those skins still in progress?

IMO, I enjoy that Rengar skin (Probably because I enjoy Sweeper Ali and Night Hunter, why do people not like this skin!?) and Twitch's. I've never enjoyed Singed and really I don't like his new skin but ya'know just my opinion. I also find the concept art for the Twitch one to be really stupid looking just because it makes him look...nerdy. Giving the hood to Rengar would probably shut alot of people up (hopefully they do because the amount of board complaining is skyrocketing) Thresh is..okay, and Talon finally gets a skin so thats something to be happy about.

All they need to do is add a hood to Rengar skin and there problem fixed.

Imp twitch is simple, but the recall is probably the best in the whole game (if you don't get what it's referencing, you shouldn't be wasting money on any of these skins).

Personally I like the way Thresh looks in the actual skin rather then that concept... but of course it's concept for a reason, as they go through many changes when they actually make the skins. So nothing really new there.

I would buy the Thresh skin if it had the pink particles like the art.

As it is now, I don't like it.

Talon, however, is great. He looks handsome.
