A little bit of concer regarding Silver Kayle.

Hello there fellow Rioters!

I'm coming to you with a little bit of concern regarding the visual rework of the Silver Kayle skin. I do realise I must be one of really few owners of the skin, still playing the game, but I feel like the matter is heavier because of that. The moment you guys released new splash arts for the Kayle/Morgana VGU, I was literally gagging while looking at my dear Silver Kayle, that I proudly own. I literally set it as my wallpaper (and I never do that). She looks so divine and proud, just as a rare collector's item should. Couldn't wait for the model reveal. And then it hit me harder than a building-sized rock falling from the sky. I wont bite around the edges. It's ugly. Kayle is one of my long-favourite champions in League of Legends. I love everything about her VGU, but I can't sit here silent about that one matter. I'm a long lasting League player, devoted since 2010. Since I dove in the world of Runeterra, I haven't really stayed with any other game for longer than few weeks. To show my appreciation for you guys I bought the Collector's Retail Edition. Not for the sake of champions or skins. For the sake of being able to proudly put it on my shelf. Silver Kayle came along. It was times when you made simple recolors as skins. Couldn't complain and never did. I loved the recolor. The moment you started reworking champions, I literally couldn't wait for Kayle's turn. Just to see how great and divine she and her Silver version would look. Don't get me wrong. Most parts of the model are looking good. It's the color scheme of the pre-11 version. The headpiece is way too chunky and the "topknot?" is way too saturated, considering it looks really smooth on the splashart. Also, the swords don't scream "Silver Collector's Skin". Other than that, I was really disappointed at the lack of different FX. Yellow doesn't go really well with blue/silver. I feel like you forgot how unique and rare Silver Kayle is supposed to be. Just as an example I feel the need to refer to Exiled Morgana skin. Not to lie, I felt really betrayed seeing Exiled Morgana's orange FX matching the skin color scheme hit the PBE, while Silver Kayle was still left with yellow particles. Keep it in mind that Exiled Morgana is a cheap, ~500RP skin, whilst Silver Kayle used to be a part of the Collector's Retail Edition, and is no longer obtainable by any other means, as you disabled the codes in 2014. **EDIT: Someone mentioned that Exiled Morgana is a 975RP skin, and that's true. My mistake here. Should've used the Shadow Evelynn(520RP) refference. **

I know I might be a single voice in the crowd. I know it may mean nothing to you. But please, consider changing it up a little bit, even if it is just for the sake of one nerd like me. It would mean a lot.

Sorry for making this so lengthy, but I couldn't contain it in just few sentences.

May we have another 9 long years together, Kamushi <3

Yeah, as a judgment Kayle player who has adored my skin for upwards of a decade, I'm a little sad we aren't getting effects. I would be 100% okay if they made white/ gray/ silver/ dark blue particles for Silver Kayle and also applied them to my skin. I love the skin and I'll use it anyways, the black wings and outfit are gorgeous, but I'm slightly sad there are no particle effects. I wasn't expecting anything amazing, just recolors of base Kayle particles :/

It's not like anyone is actually going to be able to use the skin. They have to actually adjust the skins that will see actual play.

So either you need to give up the rarity of it and have a version for the regular people to get, or give up on getting extensive work done for like 8 people who have the skin and still play.

It's been "kayle but blue" for what, 9 years? It looks great now

For the record, Morgana's exiled skin is a 975, so people were upset by other skins of that tier getting effects and that one didn't. However, in saying so I do agree the effects change makes sense for Silver Kayle.
