Pulsefire Ezreal

The Ecdysiast··7 votes·1,248 views

Is the worst out of the ultimate skins. The least they could do is add in a chroma or change the colors as he evolved, but as it is now the blue isn't even a different blue from the color used for his default skin.

The big gimmick is the transformation, but with how little the skin actually changes at levels 6, 11, and 16, Kha'zix can compete with just his default.

WHOA, the first Ult skin from like 5 years ago isn't as good as the new ones? Big surprise...

That's why something should be done to it. It is no way on par with other ultimate skins and shouldn't even be considered one.

Well just look at the old legendary skins then. They are all horribly outdated and not worth the legendary price,yet you don't see people flood the boards about them.

Pulsefire ezreal will likely receive an update if Ezreal as a whole receives one or if they release something else related to pulsefire,just like every other skin.

Maybe because those old outdated "Legendary" skins actually go on sale for 975 RP from time to time. And even when they are, or during a snowball event, you actually DO see threads about them.

GreenLore2 votes

No they don't. Legendary skins never go on sale except for the early sale(and that only once,same goes for ultimate skins).

And in general my problem is that the boards are literally flooded with pulsefire ezreal threads,I look at the boards and see 3 new threads about the topic...

Well, they actually do. They've gone on sale for the snowballing events as well as the early sales.

Then there's the two "Legendary" skins that count in name but are priced 975. Outdated skins from 5-7 years ago aren't a big issue.

But an Ultimate skin that isn't even as good as an Epic skin isn't fair to players or the Skin team.

The only legendary skins that can ever go on sale(aside from the early sale) are the ones in the vault(AKA the legendary skins who were so outdated that Riot actually removed them from the shop)

And PS Ezreal is still pretty good,getting its own set of animations,a completely new VO(with actually 2 voice actors),all new particles and an evolving model. Its model is a bit outdated,but aside from that it still has more features than a legendary skin.

More than an outdated Legendary skin, sure.

But if we don't count the slight model change, then it's only the quality of a Legendary.

Even if we did not count the changing model,then it'd be still better than a lot of legendary skins from the shop,like gentleman cho'gath,corporate Mundo,Gatekeeper Galio,etc.

Not to mention that there is no reason not to count the model changes....

I explained the reason. It isn't any more of a model change than Kha'zix gets for no cost. So Mecha Kha matches it in quality, or even beats it since his transformation changes a particle effect.

You can't argue using only the worst legendary skins. An Ultimate skin should be better than the best Legendaries, not on par with the worst.

Mecha Kha also doesn't have a completely new voice over(that includes 2 VA) or a complete new set of animations. So no it is not on par with PFE,not even close.

And in general,this is because kha has such a complex base. Every skin of him will have an evolving model,which is something that is normally only used for ultimate skins,simply because that is part of kha'zix.

And if we look at PFE and compare it to every other legendary,then it has objectively more features than any legendary skin,since it gives a new model,new VO,new Animations,new Spell effects and has an evolving model,whereas almost every legendary skin only has the first 4 things(the only ones with anything additional are DS thresh who has a lantern that changes form at one point and Project ashe,who gets her hood in certain parts of the map,but both are less than PFEs model changes)

So it still has more than any legendary skin.

Actually the really old original legendary skins DO go on sale. Skins that Heimerdinger, Twisted Fate, Tristana, Annie, Corki have all go on sale usually during Christmas for 910 for one day each during their sales.

Yeah talked about this in a reply,the legendary skins from the vault can go on sale,but not the ones from the shop.

The Ecdysiast1 votes

Yes. As we were saying, the outdated ones do in fact go on sale.

GreenLore1 votes

The outdated ones from the Vault can go on sale,not the ones from the shop. That means that gentleman cho'gath will never be on sale even if it extremely outdated by todays standards.

Same for corporate Mundo or Demon blade tryndamere.

If they said that PF-Ezreal looks so outdated that it belongs into the vault,then it would have a chance to go on sale,but that is likely not happening considering that PFE looks still much better than many other skins in the shop.

The Ecdysiast2 votes

Exactly. Even Arcade Ezreal is a better skin. The idea that it changes very slightly based on level isn't much. Heck, Kha'zix does that for free with his default skin.

Lets make sure that there are actually skins for every champ before reworking a skin for a champ with 9 skins

That's not the point we're trying to get across at all. We're saying that it's an ULTIMATE skin. Last I checked, Ultimate skins were suppose to actually mean more than others. They hold value that other skins don't because there's a lot more time and effort put into them. That being said, skins made right now, are of higher quality and value than this so called ultimate skin. Make it legacy to make it worth more, or update it. Get your crappy "my main doesnt have a skin" argument out of here
