I really do hope that more work is put into the new Rumble Skin

Look, I'm not a Rumble main. I don't really play him, hell I don't really like his playstyle. But I do understand that people that do play and main him have waited a long time for him to get a new skin.

So after 4 some years (1447 days), I'd be pretty excited to see the preview of a new Mad Max themed Rumble skin. Screw it, I got excited regardless since I love Mad Max and I could prepare crossing Rumble off the list of champs that have gone over 1000 days without a skin.

I then I saw the spotlight...and was disappointed. Is this really what we're getting? I'm not mad at the actual skin, it's a great idea to put him in. What I'm mainly mad at are the animations: the idle, the death, the W, they make the skin look terrible. It doesn't feel like it's a treaded mech, it feels cartoonish, weird and out of place. Side note: his VO feels off as well since he's wearing a mask.

I'm really understanding why they say they can't make many skins for Rumble because of his rig. Honestly, if this was the final product Riot was showing and if I was a Rumble main, I'd feel really disappointed. It's a great concept for the champ, but if Riot can't tweak the rig to make the skin look better, than I just feel sorry for all the Rumble mains out there.

I don't want this to be like GG MF with animations basically being the same as base, only this time it is the base animations!

I wish they'd actually put more thought into that when they do skins. Though in their mind it means increasing the cost of the skin but seriously, some skins would sound so much better with some kind of edit to the Voice over due to the character having a Mask on. Like last years Chemtech Tyrndamere was a great skin but the Voice was so off cause of not having a filter.
