For the Ezreal skins

  1. Can you add back all the "face stripes" to his other skins? I dont see why base has them but they're removed from all his others. ESPECIALLY the soccer one (wtf? thats like the ONE skin where it actually makes sense to have those!)

  1. Arcade Ezreal rhino horn hair before was better. imo before it was very clearly a ode to like Roxas,Lann or Cloud with the big spike. New Arcade Ez has like a weird side-comb over style that makes him look more like a rich spoiled snob than a JRPG tribute. its got almost no unrealistic spikes at all which is like the TRADEMARK anime protag calling card. tl;dr too wavy, not spiky enough. ALSO i think the baggy shorts are better than just...normal shorts. Overall i feel like this skin is getting downgraded really badly.

  1. Striker Ezreal should still retain the "Riot" logo somewhere on his jersey so it seems less generic and store brand. Also I cant see the back but I really hope the back still reads "Ezreal" or "Ezzy".

I get a kick out of nicknames like "Blitzy" being written on the back of the striker skins. It adds flavor and world building imo. I just kinda smile at the thought that Blitz teammates nicknamed him. I would love if Ezreal's back still read "Ezreal" or something.

I'm just gonna say it, I think the new Ezreal's jaw is too square, it feels artificial.

I don't think Riot even knew what they were going for when they re-made Arcade Ezreal. No baggy pants, no spikes, no big shoes, and an old man face. The only things even remotely arcade like are his gauntlet and the space invader on his shirt.

I feel the same way about arcade, it is a downgrade for me.

On another note: I originally bought the Ace of Spades skin because of how different Ez looked and now I wish I could refund it. The hair went from awesome to pretty trash, but I feel that has been a theme with this rework. All in all I just wish I could refund my Ez skins since this really isn't what I paid for in the first place =/.

I think Arcade is fine. It's less of rhino horn and more in line with actual JRPG male protagonists hair.
