Riot& Everyone who loves Elise Please have a look

I'll cut the part where I fell in love with Blood Moon Elise the second I saw her and immediately bought RP points and Elise just so I could play her in Blood Moon the second the skin is released. The skin was perfect but some people complained about her being pink so Riot changed her to red.

People who love the red say: "Blood Moon should be RED" --- The theme about red moon is the mask that represents the devil instead of the color red. It's not like she's in yellow or blue, pink is the red family and makes her special in the BM family. It's creative to have her being the black sheep in the family since she's all about luring. Besides, her victorious skin is blue and the death blossom is light blue; her classic is red so it makes sense for the BM to be pink.

"Change the name or make a another pink skin for her" --- I love the blood moon theme and like I said above, the focus is on the mask and I think Riot did a great job regarding the design. It's so clever to make her spider body a big mask and she looks great with the mask on her head in human form. Therefore, changing the name will only make it more unfitting or even cause more adjusting work that will eventually ruin the skin.

I want to say

Every skin is the idea and product created by the designer. When she/he designed BM Elise, pink was part of the idea and that's why the purple/blue legs, gold and animation all go with the main color pink. Everything works in great harmony. Now, because some people complained about the main color and made Riot change her to red, the other settings don't look good together anymore. Riot says one big reason that they made the change is they want her to be coherent. How can she be coherent if the major theme color is changed and the rest is just left unchanged?

Finally, as one of the players who posted here before said, there are so many people who loved the original BM Elise, so we kept quiet or write about how we love her and waited for the skin to come out. However, I guess it's human nature to only focus on the challenging comments, in this case, changing her into red. Now, I guess Riot found out there are so many players love the pink Elise. It's just unfair to us and to the designer who designed her.

"Compromise" It's impossible to make everyone happy. Since the complainers only cares about her being red, please make her dark red/ rosy as Thresh and other blood moon. The red she has now is too bright and looks so cheap and lame. Please also change her little spiders to something that look good with the new color. Finally,is it possible to make the gold parts champagne-gold like thresh's gold? Whatever you do just make sure the little spiders and legs look good together if you have to make her red.

I felt powerless when I typed this whole thing as I felt disappointed with the changed. I don't know if Riot would see this but this is at least what I can do for a champion and skin I love.

The beauty of the Pink one left me stunned the moment I saw it.

She had such a presence and vibe. And she felt like the less aggressive one of the blood moon team. She was the one who represented beauty and wits.

I'm still trying to understand why some people would want to have a team of 5 Red Power Rangers, or not see that the red and gold.. and blue, clash quite awfully.

I prefer the red one, but it is also such a tiny issue for me. I would love the skin either way.

The pink was out of line with blood moon and it made her look weak, as opposed to every other blood moon skin which is supposed to be intimidating

Pink didn't fit with the blood moon theme, Elise still doesn't fit because blood moon have white-red-black theme, she has a red-gold-purple from pink-gold-purple

While I don't want to be that argument starting troll...

Since the complainers only cares about her being red

And you're not a complainer caring about her only being pink? Please get off of the high horse.

You say compromise yet your argument boils down to "Screw the people that don't agree with me and do what I want, but if I can't get what I want, at least do this, which I wouldn't mind. But screw those people don't agree with me."

I'll admit I like the red more. Though it doesn't matter too much to me as I like Elise's original skin more than any others thus far. Maybe if they ever add Hextech Elise... drools

But anyway, if anything looks off with this skin on either of them its the golden and blue legs. Seriously, where do those even come from? They don't match anything on the whole skin, and even blend in with the ground plane.

I really like the pink one when I saw it I was like instabuy. When I saw it It felt like she represented a different side of blood moon more of a twilight inviting feeling then leads to mysterious death. The mysterious twilight sakura blood moon vibe close to her thematically in my opinion since the bright red is kinda like in your face murder muahahaha while the pink just matches her luring trapping and killing motto and playstyle.

Other than that two other reasons the old particles match the old pink one more versus the red since it was intentionally made for the pink now its like a smorgasbord of colors with the particles (blue, pink,purple,red white, gold). Plus from my standpoint as a skin buyer who purchases skins by how they look it honestly really makes me wanna just wait for another different colored skin. Like seriously if you compare the buying patterns of people who pay for looks vs by theme, It doesn't take statistics to know their is barely anybody out there who have all the blood moon skins vs people who pick on the individuality of the skin.

I saw someone commenting that pink human and red spider and red spiderlings that would be cool too. since her human form is more like the strategic form for trapping and luring that coincides with pink and the red spider form is the in your face murder kinda feel. Think about it calming pink/blue inviting twilight lady luring you mysteriously outside then at the full moon BOOM TRANSFORM TO BLOOD RED MURDEROUS SPIDER FRENZY. The particles would not be so out of place therefore no need of changing since the human for still has the intended pink particles and red spider well with red spider babies.

When I first saw the skin I was kind of displeased all together, because I wanted like a Mecha, Project, or something futuristic/mechanical. I really like the skin as a red, however if the pink was a different shade that's a little more red I would be okay. The part I didn't like the most was her face I feel like it would have been cool for her to be wearing the mask(Or toggle like Rengar hood in night hunter) but the skin is really good just not my style. P.S I would buy just because it's Elise

players seem to think only in primary colours...pretty sad... Atlantean Syndra should have been green. this one should be pink. ps. it's already a reddish magenta pink. also, keeping it pinking is welcoming to women who seem to have been given the cold shoulder treatment atm.
