When the skin was first revealed, I thought the color scheme of blood moon Elise was .. perfection, she was the most beautiful skin I've ever seen in this game.

The deep pink one was so.. perfect

Anyone else agree? Because there's a thread of 100 hundred people finding it off-putting.

@Riot, I hope you know only a small group of unsatisfied people ever come to forums to post, you should trust your artistic instincts more

No, it was stupid.

It's blood moon, not cotton candy Elise.

The pink fits much better with her and the new map, the red they went with just makes the skin look cheap and kind of blegh. I know, I know its a Blood Moon skin and it has to be red and yadda yadda yadda. But the pink is a much better shade IMO. And i dont know why everyone was complaining about it not being RED, pink is a shade of red....stop expecting everything to be on the dot and just accept it.

The solution was what a lot of other people were proposing - just change the skin name to something else, like Masquerade or Valentine or Order of the Lotus.

So the people who liked the pink are happy, those who don't think it fits Blood Moon are happy, and those who are looking forward to another jungler with a Blood Moon skin would be happy. It was the perfect solution.

I do think pink is better than red visually, but pink doesn't fit Blood Moon AT ALL - that was the problem. Now the new problem is that Riot's solution to the first problem was pretty half assed.

I feel like the pink one is more unique because only a few champions are the color pink. On the other hand, the red feels the same as some other skins and the spider's body looks just like braums shield

GIVE US BACK THE ORIGINAL PLS RITO I LOVE U DON'T MAKE ME HURT MYSELF PLS

I prefer the pink, but not as a blood moon skin (which should be red or deep red only). I'd prefer a rename over a recolor for this skin.

AquariusGineNov 25, 20145 votes

Haha I just noticed my mistake, thanks for pointing it out. Tbh I dont think the red one looks too bad, the pink one is just better

The green Atlantean Syndra was way better too ("change Riot ....Water is Blue.....my 2yo book says so. Blood is Red waaaah. I can only process primary colours!" . Don't underestimate the power of idiots.

@Riot, is there any chance this change can be reverted?

So far the poll is equally split. According to your logic, the vocal of a "small group of unsatisfied people ever come to forums to post" should now be bigger considering that the satisified people don't come to forums to post, so we can assume that the majority of people like the red one more.

Just kidding, this logic is fallacious, but still, damn I like the red spider more.

I preferred the original palette and thought the argument by Riot for it made sense. I can understand though why people wanted her to be red, but I don't find their argument as compelling - Kalista's skin too is not that red and it wouldn't have hurt that much the skin's line. Besides, people who'll buy the skin aren't all necessarily equipped with four companions who own each one of the other skins, so the problem of her breaking an eventual team palette would be actually more rare than the problem of that skin feeling too similar to the base one, which already has all that red. The pink was imho a classy way to solve the issue.

VelivoloNov 26, 20144 votes

Yeah, I can't believe they changed it. The magenta WAS SO GOOD. Like, legitimately sinister and scary.

Not to mention that they ruined the palette when they changed her to flat red. That's a very cool pink that they picked for bloodmoon Elise, and it went oh-so-nicely with the blue tips on her legs... Now they've shrunk the tip coloring and made her primary red? Boring. Jesus. Are people ever satisfied with what Riot gives us, or do they exist to complain about every miniscule thing?

"only a small majority" you are sure to convince them with logic like that.

Do you really think people who love new changes ever post their satisfaction? Hopefully I can gather enough votes on poll to know the truth

DigitalOceansNov 25, 20144 votes

If thats the point you are trying to get across, you should work on your wording.

Oh, you're gathering some votes alright...

That's true, but another thing to note is the title of the topic. Draws more people against the skin change in because of how it's worded.

SukishooNov 25, 20141 votes

No... it draws people in that liked how it originally was (which I did)

Well no shit, shreklock. Do you feel like an all star for basically rewording what I said? XD

3ternalkarmaNov 25, 20143 votes

it is supposed to be red to begin with... its a blood moon skin

catravenNov 25, 20143 votes

The red makes her look transgendered. I think that's part of it and part of who spammed for the change.

AlexanderNov 25, 20143 votes

you mean heartseeker elise

DynamiteGazelleNov 25, 20143 votes

All I know is I was going to buy it before, but since it was changed to red I don't really care for it anymore and I won't be buying it.

Riot was right. GG

I thought the pink looked great, now that it's red the blue and gold are clashing with the red which is a big no no.

AquariusGineNov 25, 20142 votes

This was about to become my absolute number 1 favorite skin in the game, :(

JustBoneBrookNov 25, 20142 votes

Well i would love if her humain form was pink and her spider + mask was red (so it like she put the mask on whene she tranphorm get it?) sorry for the bad English I will be right back with my image but i dont got it now

KugiNov 25, 20142 votes

AquariusGineNov 26, 20142 votes

I'm gonna do a fanart of Blood Moon Elise (Pink version) because of how much I loved it. I don't want the beauty that captivated me to go forgotten :)

Really hope Riot artists decide to revert this change.
