The skin looks very nice, but I was kinda disappointed to find out that her clothes are pink instead of red like the other Blood Moon skins, can we make her match everyone else?
Kira Onime9 votesIt looks cool but thematically, it's the black sheep of the group. Also called "BLOOD"moon, blood ain't pink.

But Blood is also green.

Just about everyone will think of red when asked "what color is blood".

I'd say it depends on the species, then answer accordingly ;)
Brenticus122 votesIt's also blue, but that's for insects and lobsters respectively.
We're talking about human blood.
LankPants1 votesAfter a quick bit of research Arachnids have blue blood, shouldn't the skin be blue :P
TranslucidHorror4 votesanother quick tidbit, human blood is blue as well, the iron in your blood actually oxidizes when it hits air and turns red.

Doctor Trendy2 votesNot true, it only appears blue because of light. It's still red. https://www.google.com/search?q=is+human+blood+blue%3F&oq=is+human+blood+blue%3F&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l5.3126j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Shaded Striker9 votesIt seems so much more "Order of the pink lotus", especially with that recall.
A Superb Villain8 votesI thought it was a Heartseeker skin, at first.
JustBoneBrook6 votesmmm na she ok like this
El Captain Teemo6 votesno i like the way she looks.
Cenobite Azaziel6 votesI like the skimpy kunoichi visual. The color pink, even if it's a blood moon skin, makes more sense. Thematically, the red color in blood moon is linked to combat, blood, and oriental visuals (oni.).
Being elise a seductive spider lady (black widow), a more chaming and seductive color is more apropriate. So you get the skimpy visual (courtesan) with a light purple.
Rune Ocarina3 votesThis. Glad Riot is still ok with releasing sexy skins even if their champion design is starting to stray away from sexy champions.
RoyaiChaos4 votesI think more red would be better, not necessarily change it to the same shade as all the other skins.
cshakes3 votesI think part of the problem is that there's also very little of her that is red. She isn't wearing that much clothing, and there's nearly no red elsewhere. Proposed solutions: (all require more vibrant shade of red)
Momorae4 votesThat's a common misconception, the blood is red inside or outside. Remember, blood carries OXYGEN (and other nutrients) to the cells of the body and that's its primary function. Blood appears blue on your veins because deoxygenated blood is darker red (but not really "blue") and it looks that way under the pigments of your own skin.
Look it up if you want. :)
LankPants2 voteshttp://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2010/09/01/is-blood-ever-blue-science-tea-2/ that's not at all true, you can find plenty of sources that would dispute it this is just the first from a google search. Your veins are sometimes blue, the blood in them is not.
AquariusGine2 votesI like her much more this way
Padagi2 votesRiot has already stated that the Blood Moon theme can (and will) be interpreted differently depending on the background of any given champion / culture / region within Runeterra.
Kalista is apparently the origin of this theme and since so much time has passed since it's creation, the various cultures in Runeterra have had the time to morph the legend into different versions of the original visual.
Hrud2 votesOh mah gah, I want to play Elsie again.
Though I have to admit, the first time I saw this, I thought it was gonna be an Irelia skin.
Akaoni Nanashi1 votesWhy hello there Miss Moxxi, hows the Rift treating you, i hear the climate is quite a bit different than that of Pandora.
KoKoboto1 votesRegardless pink or red the skin is awesome in my opinion and I hope that whatever the final outcome of the skin you enjoy as much as I will regardless or whatever the colour change
Jungle Lux God1 votesTo be honest, it looks more purple to me, and even though it is still some shade of red, it still isn't red.
I do think it looks cool though, and I feel like the purplish color of the skin helps contrast with the reds of the base skin, and helps it stand out more.
CheeseNOnion1 votesI was about to start a thread on this too; the asymmetry of her boots(?) are killing me too, they should just choose one or the other. (preferably the thigh high)
Takran1 votesI did some red recolors here: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/qxiX85Qj-the-real-reason-people-are-getting-twitchy-about-blood-moon-elise
I think it is looking quite a bit better in terms of the blood moon line than the pink one does.
as a stand alone skin, pink is fine, but as a blood moon skin, it kinda hurts the quality of the whole line.
