Can we brighten up Redeemed Riven's in game model?

Redeemed Riven doesn't look very bright and "redeemed."

I wanted to make a thread about this way back when the textures for all the champions and summoner's rift was redone, but I held my tongue in the hopes that I would warm up to it somehow.

Needless to say, I haven't.

Don't get me wrong, the new texture is clearer, but the feeling the skin is in my opinion supposed to give off is not there anymore. It looks dark, dirty and pretty worn out. In many ways, it looks just plain less appealing than the old texture, despite being for the lack of a better word "better."

This is hands down my favorite skin on Riven and I would like to go back to feeling like a bright, shiny, redeemed warrior full of hope again.

Eh. I don't play Riven, but take my upvote. Seems like something a Rioter should see.

Now that I think about it, a Redeemed skin line would be be pretty cool. Think Redeemed Darius, Yasuo or Varus.

C'mon, it isn't that big of a deal when skins like shamrock Malphite, rusty Blitzcrank, and deadly and swamp master Kennen still exist.

I actually think the original was a bit better, it looked like real armor shine. Possibly riot was trying for a more cartoony look?
