New Blood Moon skins a let down?

I'm sure everyone has probably seen the new Blood Moon teaser poster, as well as the video. Everyone's hyped Blood Moon Diana and Jhin have finally arrived, but maybe it's not all that people expect. Seeing that there's four new skins, instead of two or even three, it's highly likely that they will be 750 RP quality, which at best...isn't very good at all.

Most 750 skins tend to lack new particle effects, backing animations, and varying animations in general. This would be a real letdown for the Blood Moon skin line, since (most) of the Blood Moon skins tend to be very high quality, except for the earlier skins such as Akali and Shen.

Riot dropping the ball with these very hyped skins (Jhin and Diana specifically) would probably be a real shame for the community and the people who asked for them, but I guess we can only wait and see.

Of course, I could be talking out of my ass and they'll all live up to the quality of previous skins. Perhaps Jhin and Diana are the main focus, since they were the only two that could really be "seen" in the teaser poster.

Feel free to tell me what you think!

Remember the star guardian skins? One legendary and three 1350.

The choice of TF is the big let down. This champion is raining in skins and the theme looks pretty meh on him from the teaser. At least I'm sure Riot will have nice particles for him.

Blood Moon Yorick or Zyra could work better than TF... hell even Blood Moon Viktor makes more sense.

Twisted Fate doesn't even fit with this skin line and yet he already has so many skins. They should've given this to neglected champions smh

i think bloodmoon tf was unfitting and a let down, the other ones are fine

Diana looks exactly like she is wearing recoloured Blood Moon Elise's clothes. It looks so lazy and boring imo. The same thing happened for Infernal.

They should have outfitted her like Blood Moon Kalista, or at least done that for all them. They're all pretty average.

I've never really had any interest in the Bloodmoon skins. They just don't do anything for me.

Shouldn't we wait to see more of the skins before deciding whether it's a letdown or not? I don't know about you, but I prefer to not use a teaser to judge a product.

Seeing as the three Lunar Revel skins were all 1350RP, I don't see why these four being 1350RP sounds far fetched. I wouldn't be surprised if one was 975RP, but thinking one or more of these are gonna be 750RP is really weird...

I doubt that these will be 750-skins. I mean the last 2 skin events(project and Star guardian) all came with a bunch of 1350-skins and one legendary.

I wouldn't say a let down, just unexpected. I'm more disappointed that Yorick didn't get it, considering a lot of us (myself included) thought the teaser showed an eye, which is similar to Yorick's shovel, and the mist from the gate, which resemble Yorick's back. But alas, the wait continues for the guy.

I'm more shocked that Twisted Fate is getting a Blood Moon skin. Seems so random.

Jhin is legendary skin so is unlikely to be a letdown All diana skins so far change her particles thou so who knows if this will too.

I think it's too early to make a judgement. I mean, all we have seen were the models in a video for a couple of seconds. I admit Blood Moon Twisted Fate doesn't make too much sense but neither does Warring Kingdoms Vi and I'm in love with that skin so I'm keeping my hopes up.

Also since Blood MoonDiana has been wanted for awhile I doubt Riot will drop the ball on this.

Doubt they will be 750 skins. They are mostly 975 to 1350, as all of the Blood Moon skins require particle changes. Shen's is the only one that is 750, even Akali's was 975. Any more then the rest have been at least 975.

Just because we are seeing 4 skins rather then the typical 2-3 skins, isn't an indication of Quality. Star Guardians proved that in the second release, as 4 skins were made there and all were either 1350 or 1820.

Diana's will prolly be the expensive one.
