Pretty dissapointed with the recent skins

I felt like the recent Arcade skins were rushed. The awesomeness theme wasn't quite there. I felt that the theme could have been applied better on different champs, too. But really, it's just that purple-ish-ness that ruins it for me. They look like cheap knock-off custom skins. And I'm still confused why was one of them. Is it because he's getting popular again and you wanted to rush him in for the sweet $$$? I'm all for Riot profiting, I just wish they spent more time planning ;/

P.S. The Brand one makes me cringe. More than Pug'maw did. Ziggs is arguably the only one that fit the theme, but it's not nearly up to my expectations. But, hopefully someone likes them, and hopefully they'll grow on me.

I think Ziggs is fine. His fits the theme, and looks pretty cool.

I also think Malzahar is fine, because he somewhat fits the arcade theme, but more than that, he just looks awesome.

Brand... they need to make him LOOK more like Brand. The similarity just isn't there. The concept is fine though.

Brand doesn't really have a distinct look once you remove the fire theme.

He's a hairless humanoid body

I want to point out that Malzahar's pick rate for mid laners in 17th, if they wanted to capitalize on playrate for money Malzahar is not the best pick for that. He most likely already had a concept in the making that was similar and they decided to use him for the skin line because it fit with his model.

Ehhh... personally i really find those a huge improvement compared to Arcade Ahri idea.

Interesting. Personally I considered Arcade Ahri to be one of the "good" ones that I was comparing these new ones to. Well, I guess it's just my opinion, then. I'm glad to hear there are people who like them. But yeah, Arcade Ahri, Corki, Ezreal, Riven, MF, Hecarim, Sona, Blitz and Veigar; I all thought to be very high quality. To every man his own :)

Key word here is "Idea". Arcade Ahri is a pretty colorfoul skin and a good one i might add, it's just... i don't know, i find it to be somehow not a "true" Arcade skin. Just my opinion anyway, it's still a nice skin after all.

Thank you for replying. I actually find that to be extremely interesting. Kinda like how all my friends back from High School all love the Soulreaver Draven skin, while I think it's one of the ugliest in the entire game. But it's nice to know not everyone thinks it's ugly looking; just like how I feel about the new Arcade skins. Goodnight, friend.
