Nightbringer Yasuo

Hey Riot, as a Yasuo Main (200k + mastery), I will buy this skin, but not on launch but on early sales for sure. My reason is I don't think it is worth it if It launches mostly in this state, and I would rather use a different skin in more games that feels as SILKY SMOOTH as the champion is to play well. I would like to make a few requests, because I feel that this skin is ultimately well made in concept, but unpolished in execution.

The animations look very stiff. I know it's on PBE, and maybe that is what you want to go for, but the new Q animation looks really clunky and the ult look noticeably un flashy. Normally for skins you try and make everything looks as cool as possible, but the Ult specifically need to make the shadow slashes more visible.

The 3rd Q "ready animation looks a little small, and it is simply most likely not added yet, but some added effect when his shield was up i think would help both Yas players and opponents.

Lastly, the back animation transformation was off, and I was hoping for a more interesting entrance like the Dawnbringer Riven skin which look s absolutely perfect right now (insert "EXTRA THICC" meme here)!

Thanks for reading this post, and I hope my input can help make this skin Legendary Quality.

I kinda see your point with the stiff animations, but I disagree on the Ultimate. I like that he has the shadow clone dudes jump out and then just SLAMS them down into the ground. It's brutal and it's badass. My biggest concern is that his auto attacks look stiff compared to his default, probably because it's all two handed and mostly side to side swings, it loses a little of the deadly sharpness he had, and the animation for him readying his sword for the sheath also somewhat bothers me.

I think the 3rd Q animations simplicity is slightly offset by the fact it actually changes how he looks and his color.

You guys keep saying that it looks a certain way, but have you actually played with the skin on the PBE? I personally think that this skin is incredibly smooth, especially the Q and E animations. If anything is a little weird, it would be that his ult animation doesn't really go with the sound it makes. This skin is fantastic, and it's still PBE so, I'm sure more changes will come. :)
