PROJECT: Jinx, Is it too late

Ever since I started playing Leauge of legends I've always played jinx I have well over 500k Mastery points on jinx, and I've always dreamt that one day she would get her very own project skin. When Is saw the trailer this year for project skins and saw that my lovely jinx was getting one I was so excited. I've always wanted one for her.

When I got to see what the actual skin looked like on the pbe I was a little underwhelmed but tried to love it as I love every other jinx skin. But for me, this skin just doesn't scream Project. Her look is far too organic to me, for it to be a project skin, unfortunately. And I know that its probably far too late for her to get a redesign on the outfit but it is a really big let down for me. I always buy any jinx skin that comes out because I love her so much but I honestly can't support this skin for her unless her outfit gets redesigned as it just doesn't make me happy looking at it. There are so many things that bug me about the skin. When I dreamt about a Project Jinx skin

Lingerftc's design of the Project Jinx skin is exactly what I had in mind. Her having the full armor on, with neon tubes as her pigtails. https://i.gyazo.com/77614d6e242a88c629b3995622a34315.png All of her Visual effects are perfect, its just her model that doesnt scream project to me. If I was shown this concept I wouldn't guess Project at all. You should be able to tell right away with out the visual effects that this is a project skin just like all the others. I love the Ashe, Vayne and Jhin skins so much but this one just doesnt hit the mark for me.

I doubt that you guys are able to change the skin that much before the release, but I know im not the only one who wants this change. Hopefully the next Jinx skin is amazing and wonderful. I Just cant see my self getting this with my own money.

Thanks if anyone reads this.

All of the skins in this years lineup are basically the prototypes and early project attempts. They're more organic and don't look like full blown project skins because they're not supposed to be. I think they should have named the PROTOTYPE rather than PROJECT personally to maybe better convey that maybe?

Honestly, it's about time that Jinx wasn't the center of attention when being released in a group skin line.

Thst PROKECT Jinx fanart is exactly how she should have been, plus the visors for an added bonus. Riot's version of the skin is garbage and the only good damn thing about it are the unique visors.

Honestly I don't really mind the current Jinx skin, and find the concept you poated just terrible to look at. Honestly looks even less like a Project skin than the one we got.

But, on the other hand, I dont like Jinx to begin with so my opinion matters the least when it comes to content for her.

Yeah, this Jinx skin is disappointing for sure.

Eh take off the hood, doesn’t suit her. Maybe the scarf too.

I feel that is a better look for her but unfortunately the skin releases today, so not gonna get any changes.

At least we won't be getting a kda/pentakill Jinx because we got some music related skins coming up

Honestly, I'm kind of glad people don't like this Jinx skin. She got forced into another skin line and for once it actually has as little effort put into it as other champions' skins. Not like Jinx mains have to worry, they'll get Battle Academia, Pool Party, or something else next year.

I feel like the Jinx skin is on the right track with the particles, which is what most of the PROJECT: skins should have. Although Model wise, there just offputting. I feel like riot has been really lazy with skins lately. Take a look at the Arcade skins. I'm not even sure if they're going to make a story for PROJECT: like last year. But it's too late for everything, there coming out soon and it's unlikely that they will get changes. [zombie-nunu-bummed]
