The skin is 99% AMAZING! The reason why I say 99% is because there's one thing that's kinda bugging me and I wanted to know if this is something that will be changed.
When Sion recalls he sinks down ground level but at the end he flies down from the sky. Shouldn't it be he's rising from the ground?
( It would've been sick if his Recall made him fly off as if he had rocket boots and then a slam down with SFX when he arrives he rift but that's just me)

No. But it grows on you. (I think the coloration should have been less vibrant since it is Sion, but after it's been out for a while I've begun to relax on that. The rest of the skin is excellent.)
Strawberrycocoa1 votesI hate the rust-red colors, personally. I wish/hope it has a Chroma.
RiotRiot Ohmu3 votesHeyo~ I made a post somewhere here about why we chose to go with the recall/winddown that we have right now; however, I have noticed that several people feel like he's falling from the sky instead of shooting out from the ground platform. It may appear as such b/c he moves too quickly when the screen recenters so I can see if I can slow it down to make it more apparent.
[he also transforms in mid-air but perhaps i shot him too high into the sky D: for it to be easily readable]
Eapenator1 votesi would appreciate this :)
Riotmoonstones2 votesHiya 4NoxiousHours!
Thanks for the feedback!
For a bit of context, animations, especially longer animations like recalls, take ~2 weeks to create, so changing animations once they hit PBE aren't usually possible due to time constraints. :c Minor changes are possible, though! We'll talk about it!
Rolling Girl3 votesHi Katey! First, thank you for always taking the time to reply to people's inquiries!
In the skin spotlight video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvqW--AynXk ), we see Sion come out of the ground for what I can only assume is his spawn animation. I can certainly understand that making a whole new animation would be out of the question but perhaps swapping this animation with his current recall animation could be suggested? Thank you for your time, have a nice day!
Riotmoonstones2 votesHey!
Of course! With all the new content, today's my day of collecting feedback, so I'm poking around the boards.
You're right, he does have a spawn animation. I'd be happy to suggest the change to our animator, we may not want to reuse the animation though, when we have something else for the recall. ^-^

Riotmoonstones1 votesUnfortunately not. :c Doing so would mean making rig, animation and potentially particle adjustments, which isn't a quick fix.

Riotmoonstones2 votesFor more organic creatures, it's a tad easier, since he's comprised of metal plates, it's not as simple.
HowPlayGAEM2 votesHi Katey,
This is kind of off topic but I don't know where to post it:
Is there a possibility of adding a "customization" feature to future "personal shops" (like the snowdown one)?
Like for example we get those 5 or whatever sales, but we don't want to see those sales ever again. So we can like check it off or something so it won't repeat in the future.
I don't even know if personal shops will return, but in case they do, it would be nice to exclude things I'll never buy.

You could post this in Gameplay or General Discussion. (In the case that KateyKhaos does not reply to you.)
Riotmoonstones3 votesHeyo!
I don't personally work on this end of things - store stuff is a bit separate from the creation of skins. To my knowledge, this isn't something planned, at least in the immediate future. I'd be happy to pass your feedback on to the team.
For a bit of context, the Snowdown Shop and Lunar Revel Shop were both early tries at this new feature, and we know there's a lot more that we can do, and there are places we can improve. Feedback like this is always helpful, especially when a new feature is growing. :)
Nefas2 votesWell that's really disappointing. Especially since he won't be getting another new skin for a long time I'm sure.

Was the spawn animation inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelion?
RiotRiot Ohmu2 votes@TerraRising
Mostly yes; the spawn animation is semi-inspired by NGE. after brainstorming how Sion would exit in the recall we ended up with a pretty awesome platform to work with. B/C of the similarities with mechas/platforms, NGE was reference source that came handy. In actuality a lot of the Mecha skin line is inspired by stuff like NGE/Pacific Rim/Transformers so you'll definitely see a bit everything around.
The main driving force, however, was more of my desire to draw connections in the animations (such as this respawn) to the skin's story. Sion initially had a respawn animation where he'd comet from the sky in the compact-box form, meteor crater into the ground, and slowly unfold to get ready for the rift. It was cool and all, but didn't make sense to me b/c Sion didn't really come from the sky; we was built by yordle scientists and heavily kept in secret, most likely underground. Thus, the elevator platform exists to help create that connection. Another example would be DTTristana's spawn animation which directly references her skin splash where they're both looking at the sky, looking for adventure and ready to learn new things about the world.

Wild guess here: the PROJECT skins were inspired by Metal Gear...

Hello Katey!
Would we possibly be seeing a chroma-pack for this Sion skin?
A red/blue variant is needed to fulfill my destiny of rushing down lane as Thomas the Tank Engine.

It's a legendary. If I remember correctly, that means 1820 RP.

You could always save up for a while. (I don't believe it's limited.)
