Morgana vs Kayle Bias with Skin Effects

Hi, why is Riot Kayle, Battleborn, Judgement, and Silver all getting added particles next patch but Sinful Succulence is sitting there as a 975 skin with nothing added to justify that price? It feels really unfair..

Edit: Just to add, Kayle needed the effects changes (my wording was bad before), and they do look good. My point is that Morg should get this one too.

Because Kayle was a full rework while Morg was just a minor one?

As far as Kayle is concerned, Judgment, Riot, Battleborn and Silver all looked really weird with yellow particles. For Morg, the only skins that use her basic particles are classic, Sinful Succulence and Blade Mistress. I think Blade Mistress looks good with the classic particles, but I'm actually surprised that Sinful Succulence didn't get custom effects, especially considering it is worth 975 RP. And unfortunately I don't think it's something that a simple recolor can fix.

The false reasoning of "oh she was a full rework while Morgana "wast"" falls flat when you realize that both of them got new spell effects and visual update, meaning it would not be that hard to give Morgana different colored spell effects for all her skins like with Kayle. Sinful Succulence for instance would be greatly improved if it had baking elements to her spell effects (like how Baker Pantheon has flower powder effects when he attacks).

Riot is awesome the way she is tho. She even has her old E sound effect and blue exalted wave particles, everything that differs from Classic Kayle.

Why should any of the 975RP skins get different particles? The base price for skins is 975, you want particles or animations and such then it goes to 1350 and 1820 then ultimate skins. 975 skins generally don't have particles unless as we've seen with some of the colour changes, it's necessary. Exiled Morgana looked weird with her base purple skills and they got altered. The same is happening with Kayle, things don't look right and they've concluded it needs to be altered.

The reason is likely that sinful succulence is a legacy skin and those take less priority during VGUs when it comes to skill effects.

And since the colors are matching sinful succulence Morgana(unlike the Kayle skins that are gettng new particles), I'd say that sinful succulence Morgana is likely at the bottom of the priority list.
