Riot, you are missing out with Braum Lionheart Skin

Just want to point out that you are missing out on a great opportunity to make an amazing skin with a great concept. There are huge improvements that can be made to the skin.

Eg. Lion head passive symbol A lion head wall with a similar roar effect to Udyr Lion head Q Lion charging ult

Etc etc. The concept around this skin is fantastic and there are so much things that can be easily applied.

Maybe it's better to take the skin back into production, add more features to it and up the price. It can easily be made into a 975 or 1350 skin.

Hey Kachine,

Thanks for the feedback! This is something we did discuss while the skin was in development, but ultimately decided against it due to the tier of this particular skin.

Kind of sad to hear, to be honest. Could you please reconsider it? You don't have to change the colors- Keep them ice-blue, but it'd be awesome if you simply changed the Ram head particles (Q and Passive) into Lion head particles.

Yeah, it's fine that they won't change the particles and effects of things in the skin, but they should at least consider making his passive a lion since the rest of his skins have changed his passive symbol.

It happened the same with El Tigre Braum, A lot of wasted potential went into that skin. Like using a body slam for his ult and he was a 1350 skin. He felt lackluster

In the case of El Tigre Braum, he received new particles, new SFX, a new model and texture, as well as a recall and a respawn animation, which put him him in the appropriate tier of a 1350 RP skin. The suggestion of a body slam is a cool one, but generally speaking, entirely new animations for skills are reserved for legendary/ultimate tier status.

El Tigre Braum was actually the reason we reconsidered changing his passive indicator for his 975 RP + skins. Originally, the issue was surrounding clarity, but the discussion came up again and we determined it wasn't something that would dramatically alter gameplay.

While I can understand that they want to keep the skin cheap,I also think it is a bit weird to name the skin lionhead and then let it keep the ram-themed abilities.
