Is it just me, or is it painfully obvious which skins just DO NOT belong?

When I look through the skins in client, I see tons of skins. I respect the changes that Riot is trying to make, but they seem to have a blind eye when it comes to some skins. Many seem painfully terrible or not belonging in the original art style of League. And it isn't even all of them! There is a major difference between better than old skins, not even on the same level of old skins, or "better" but not in the same art realm. My quickest example is Garen : Take a look at main Garen , take a look at Sanguine Garen , Take a look at Commando Garen , take a look at the rest of them. To me, Sanguine Garen looks like a League skin that is of much better quality than the old Sanguine Garen . To me, Commando Garen looks like it doesn't belong. It doesn't look like any of the other skins. IMO it looks worse than the only skin art. Their are many other examples as well. I think Riot should be willing to redo some of the ones that they are changing.

Do any of yall have your own examples? I'm sure ours will differ slightly

That art isn't permanent and will be replaced in time. It's there to remove a work pipeline that exists in other regions and to streamline the content of all regions of the world.

Yes it sucks but what can you do? Nothing but wait.

If we bring this discussion to lore based skins, please call out bloodmoon Zilean because he doesn't fit in with the lore. I'm on an instatilt when i see this skin ;n;

The thing is that the other outdated skin arts don't look like they belong into the game either. I mean look at the original commando garen art http://orig00.deviantart.net/0eea/f/2014/174/0/5/league_of_legends___commando_garen_by_darklordmokeymokey-d7np573.png

does it really look like it belongs into the same game as these splash arts? http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/splash/Evelynn_0.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/89/07/33/89073303b136f15076df4ee08030d3c8.jpg https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/83/f9/07/83f90786e4338c40775b777fd974c82b.jpg

No because it is outdated. They just replace one splash art that looks out of place with another one that looks out of place in a different way. The only reason why the original splash art doesn't look so out of place to you is because are used to this kind of splash art.
