Wow. I mean, the concept is awesome, but...

...no offense, from what I see here this is not Legendary skin material.

Probably not much to work with for Caitlyn's animations.

MelledoneusMay 2, 20171 votes

But it's Legendary-tier. Don't they make new animations and a new model altogether?

I mean, just look at God Fist Lee Sin. Beautifully animated, it feels like a new champion.

I think it depends on the primary audience for the skin on what parts of the kit gets priority. Personally I already like this skin way more than God Fist (My only complaint is that recall, the portal looks very low res). And the animations definitely look more fluid than the base ones

if she "evolves" with her ult like ez does shes definitely legendary tier. If thats her look all the way to 18 its only meh

"shapeshifting" is only for 3250 skins i think.

When she get's her ult the first time her gun changes.

Nothing other then that I think

I agree with you here. Look at Dragontrainer trist and project ashe... they got really nice looking stuff and this feels 1350 at best

Her walking animation should be something similar to Camiles british pimp walk.

OelykMay 3, 20171 votes

She has to carry around that massive ass gun(bigger than Tristana's by the looks of it.) I am surprised she doesn't have a more labored walk animation.

It looks pretty good so far if you ask me .

The skin is still lacking some SFX for her Taunt, Joke etc. on the PBE, so I ask people take that into mind. The design choice REALLY shocked me tbh. I was fully expecting them to go into a boob-window more risque direction. Not that there is ANYTHING wrong with boobs or boob windows (Albeit I am more of a legs man myself). I just legitimately thought they would go in that direction for this skin. I'm not upset by it at all, it's just different coming from the Kateykhaos skins team.

My only issues is that; EDIT: 1 more.

The walking animation is very bland and poor. I expected something different to her classic. They could have it that she throws her gun over her shoulder when she's running.
The headshot indicator (The red VFX) is SO HARD to see on her Pre-6 gun. Yes the blue changes to red, but it's seriously hardly noticeable when you're battling her. I hope we'll see it changed to be a brighter red, or at least make it so her gun lights up when she has a headshot ready pre-6.
I'm not unhappy with this, but I feel like the hair could for a tonal change. Instead of being so bright blue, mix in some purple as well. So it's like a Bright blue with a dark purple undertone.

Eh. Might get me to play Cait some. Looks alright.

Tesla EffectMay 2, 20172 votes

Her face is what classic Cait should have.

we need some more skins like this for toplaners.

PlacentasMay 2, 20171 votes

I'll probably grab it during early sale.

ArakadiaMay 3, 20171 votes

Don't skins only go on sale 6 months after release now?

PlacentasMay 3, 20171 votes

I think its somethin like 4-6 months after the release. Which is what happens with all skins now, but it's the only time Legendary skins are put on sale.

I did it with Dark Star Thresh and I'm not even a heavy Thresh player, so that sales tactic unfortunately works cause I wanted that 1/4 off of the price lol. I knew I'd start playing him (which I have) and I dont think it was worth the full 1850, but 1350 totally.

WyrmbladeMay 3, 20171 votes

I don't like it, doesn't look like Caitlyn, there were many better picks and barring the animations the design itself is pretty bad even if it were a different character.

The visual effects are great though.

Eternal791May 3, 20171 votes

I guess its fine that it doesn't appeal to your taste, but it looks like Caitlyn to me. Maybe a little different but its a Legendary skin, and there's rumor her base skin might be getting a visual update.

OelykMay 3, 20171 votes

Wait, does her gun grow when she has headshot? Thats awesome! I like the whole shape shifting gun theme...
