A minimal visual rework for Akali's skins

100Foxes··1 votes·960 views

I know this would sound wierd, but Akali's skins are not worth the RP that they currently cost.

Headhunter Akali (1320 RP) is the only skin that is corectly priced. It has a custom look, new particles and the aspect of the E is nice and thematic.

Blood Moon Akali (975 RP) has only the costom look. No special particles, all abilities seems as usual, and it's not good, the Blood Moon series get the people who apreciate the looks hiped. There are so many cool Blood Moon skins, and this is not "worthy" of the title.

Nurse Akali (975) is the same as Blood Moon. She has the nurse uniform. Only the uniform. The ideea of this skin is really nice, i would love to have this skin if it had some changed particles.

Silverfang Akali (975) it has the same story.

I don't want a complete visual rework for her, but to add some visual effects for the skins, to make them worth the RP we spend on them. My first skin for Akali was Blood Moon. I watched some skins spotlights for the skin but I though "no, it has to be more" ,but there I was, waisting my money for an overpriced skin. So I waited some good months and got Headhunter Akali on sale.

I love Akali, I really enjoy her, she's interesting to play, but is not fair to let the skins as they are. I hope I got the problem seen by some Akali mains out there

As someone who plays akali a lot,

I can't agree more. I use silver fang because it used to be the skin that changed her look the most before headhunter. All of her skins have no new visual effects, and that makes 975 seem a bit steep for them.

Not all 975 skins have new particles. That's part of the reason why new champion release skins are more expensive, so that they can get a whole suite of new stuff

520 RP skins are just a recolor of the champions.t

750 RP skins have the whole look changed, and maybe one spell's particle changed.

975 RP skins have the changed look, and 3-4 spells with changed particles, and they might include a new recall animation.

1320 RP skins are more detalied than the 975 RP ones, with the recall included (not sure if all 1320 RP have that), and some have new voices.

1825 RP skins can have new interactions, new walking animations, new voices in addition to the complex thematics.

And 3250 skins have evolutions, and for each evolution more effects.

But Akali's skins that I mentioned are priced as 975 RP but they worth only 750 RP. I know that she's been in League for a long time, and her skins are outdated. With the major mage rework coming they could ajust her skins to be worthy of their price, or at least take down the price to 750 RP
