Blood Moon Diana

Am I the only one who was hoping for something better for Diana with this new round of Blood Moon Skins? I was waiting for the reveal of a "Blood Empress Diana" with a backstory and a whole change in the champion with the skin. The basis of her design is around the moon so why shouldn't a Legendary skin for her follow that same idea? I still am very excited for the skin (being a Diana player myself) but I feel like she deserved something more than a change of clothes with new ability particle effects.

Because Diana is already so Moon-oriented, Riot probably thought better not to delve too far into something she already represents with her base skin AND lunar revel skin, try and make someone else shine under the moon's light.

I get your meaning, but skins are usually meant to be alternative representations of champions in a different take.

Just throwing in a thought: Meanwhile ultimate skins right now represent the idea of showing a champion in their most powerful form. Like Spirit Guard Udyr, who defeated his rage and finally is in harmony with the animal spirits. Or Elementalist Lux, the woman who was able to control light and finally reached the point that she is able to control all the elements.

With that in mind: I thought they are waiting much more time for Diana's turn to actually give her an ultimate bloodmoon skin. It could represent that the powers of the moon are the strongest at this time, so it is Diana's strongest form too. Would fit.

Right now it seems like Diana gets an "ordinary" 975 RP bloodmoon skin, while it seems to me like Jhin is going to get a 1350 RP skin (would explain why he was the only one teasered with that picture showing his gun), since I expect them to change the music of his ult and the models of his traps.

If it really turns out that Jhin is receiving the most expensive bloodmoon skin ever created and Diana just gets a normal one like all the others.... that would be kinda strange.

Snip.

There's fair chance that Jhin will be 1800 and Diana 1350 though. Half the time when they tease something like this there's a Legendary in the mix.

Sadly yeah, but I do hope the Jhin skin is good. I hope Riot reads this discussion so maybe they might pull an "SKT" on her and recreate the skin to make it better.

No good picture out yet, just a fuzzy pic of her at the end of the trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV68QhtGuek&feature=youtu.be

Honestly I myself feel kind of bummed that they didn't want to make a bloodmoon ultimate/legendary skin. And if the jhin is the more detailed one, that'll just be another kick in the side. :'^)

I was really disapointed when I saw the new Diana skin. They probably didnt put too much effort since she aint play as much as Thresh (legen), Ashe (Legen), Jinx (Legen) or Lux (ultim). They'd lose money if they'd do. That's why Jhin had better skin
