Hmmm how do I start this out It's been a while since I've posted on league forums since my life has become a lot more busy. But I still play pretty frequently.

Onto the topic at hand. My unbiased review after receiving Lancer Zero Skin from re-rolling shards.

I don't play much hecarim grant you. But this is more about the current aesthetic issues I have with the skin more than anything.

  1. The tone of white, It doesn't really match imo the art... The in game model is pale and hard while the portrait had a warmer almost beige tone to it. The blues used in the in game model also don't help it it's a little too pastel in my opinion. I think a darker shade would better suit both the champion and the skin itself.

  2. The skins gives off a very hard mecha feel but with the current state of hecarim's model the middle torso portion bends strangely. I'm willing to partially forgive it since it is the skin over a model instead of its own separate version but given the "rarity" of the skin maybe a model would have been justified. Especially with how the other hextech exclusives look in comparison.

  3. I didn't really feel like a giant robot horse. No metal hoof clapping even when E animation was active. This isn't really a fault of the skin but doesn't seem to fulfill it's current fantasy. Which imo just feels like lost potential

  4. Current state of the texture. I feel like a lot of the regal pieces detailed in the art are really missing and it takes away from the in game model itself. I know you guys have been striving to streamline the look of champions with cleanliness but I think in this case we can add back some of that detail.

  5. I actually enjoy the E and R animations but given that the skin is labeled lancer and how other skins have received similar treatment like boxer and godfist lee sin it seems fitting to at least rework the animation of the Q lance. Maybe keep the current Q animation but ADD a stabbing animation at the very end to fulfill the lancer fantasy.

Given how beautiful the art is i feel like there's currently a lot of wasted potential in the skin and riot just released it quickly to keep with event times. I'd like ya'll to look further into the skin and maybe adjust at least the coloring/texture if nothing else to better fulfill the lancer look/feel. Obviously I'm not going to really complain if you don't but given that it's a mystic skin and imo is currently not at the quality of other mystic level skins.

Thanks for listening I hope we can get some Red's attentions on this.. Also I wasn't sure where to put this. There used to be a champion feedback section in the old forums but that's not really a thing in the menu's anymore.
