I'm going to make this as short as possible. I used to be an avid Tristana fan, she was my first adc I decided to play religiously and back when I was beginning to play LoL I had a thing for Yordles. I loved how they were so adorable and what not. In support to Riot for making more of them I have made it a point to buy at least one skin for each Yordle. For Tristana I bought Rocket Girl since it looked the coolest and cutest. When I finally saw the new update to Tristana I smiled with absolute glee and I loved her new look. However, when I scrolled down her skins new look I was actually frowning at the Rocket Girl skin. I honestly don't think they put enough effort into making it look better or at least took the wrong approach. Her hair is literally the same texture as the live look and the only real difference is facial expressions, a bit taller (which this was added to her model anyway so they don't really count) and some new particle effects that honestly no one will really appreciate because of how fast they will disappear.

My point is that I don't like how it seems that the people in the skin department seemed to have taken a short cut with this skin and just reapplied everything from the live look to the pbe base model. If there isn't any plans on at least adding some new animations to it then I want to request the rp back and for it to be locked on my account again because the way it is now i'm not going to use it at all. (Even though I'm pretty sure Riot will say no anyway.)

TL;DR: I don't like the new Rocket Girl look and I feel as if there needs to be more effort put into it because the base skin alone looks better than it.

Ya, they are all now the same model wearing slightly different gear. It's a little disappointing. On the other hand, Riot Girl Trist is way better now :3
