My thoughts on Feral WW.

> Feral Warwick > > So there have been many comments about how Feral Warwick isn't Feral anymore. We don't plan on doing big changes to the skin except small adjustments to the splash to match the in-game color more and a bit of model polish on his clothing. I did think I should at least explain the thematic and how we got to where we got. We definitely didn't intend to take away his feralness or ignore his previous thematic.

You did. What happened to his dark brown fur, his glowing yellow eyes, larger physique, and cut/scarred up body? He was shackled and had arrows stuck in him in his splash. This new bioforged psych ward escapee looks as if he just a bath. His hair is now some borderline red/brown color, he has a torn strait jacket, GREEN eyes, mechanical claw, Hannibal mask, and of course some bane like tubes and a green goo tank. What!? PREVIOUS VISUAL THEMATIC IGNORED!

> Pre-Rework Feral Warwick was a feral beast that got captured and then escaped due to how feral and out of control he was (hence the broken chains on his wrist)

Yup.

> We had to preserve the tanks on his back and claw for each skin so we needed to incorporate those into the new skin.

Okay, i get all the new Warwick skins have to have something on their backs now but this could have been something easy as a broken branch. It could have even been a ballista bolt that has been mentioned. Heck, it could have even been a giant chemical filled mosquito/bug!

> The thematic is supposed to be similar to pre-rework feral in that he was a feral werewolf that gets captured and is experimented on and then escapes the lab, killing everyone and running back into the wild. We just added a bit of a twist to it.

So he was captured as a warewolf/chimera then sent into a lab where they did the EXACT same thing singed did to the classic Warwick? This makes no sense for a couple of reason.

  1. Warwick would have already transformed. Making the use of the chemical implants on his back pointless....
  2. If Warwick is already a beast before being "captured" why would they need to cut off his arm and install a roboclaw?
  3. Singed's experimental techniques/implants being so easy for a group of psych ward Dr's or whoever to be able to replicate.
  4. Kind of a silly tactic to use a straitjacket on a chimera creature with claws that can easily shred through them. Wouldn't giant chain shackles have been a better option? HMmmmmmmmmMMMmM?

THIS MAKES NO SENSE!

> Anyways that all for now. Feel free to let us know what you think in the comments below.

Feral Warwick can't be feral and needs the chemo chamber on his back for clarity sake... meanwhile Grey Warwick gets a badass ghost sword stuck straight through him, Firefang gets a volcano, Tundra gets some kind of cool looking rune. All these things are more "feral" than Feral Warwick. I'd greatly prefer if Feral Warwick was just a brown recolor of Tundra with the old yellow eyes.

The new Feral WW model should have been the base model/skin and the current model should have been the Feral WW base/skin.

Reav3 took much effort to explain the design-way and I appreciate it!

But his explanations doesn't count for feral if we look at tundra and grey ww.

He said they needed to keep the tanks on his back. No they don't. Grey i.e. carries a sword on his back. Why not for feral something similar???

Don't get me wrong, the skin is cool for some NEW skin line. But don't take the old-feral identity for this one.

They could give him chains too - even for his recall animation! (like someone tries to catch ww with chains and he rip them off) His right claw could be boney or rusty. Where re the arrows in his shoulders/back?

They took a medieval skin theme and turned it into some batman-stuff.

I rlly like the new lore but don't PLS don't take it as an excuse, ty. Otherwise they had to implement it to the other skins too. (pls not)

Hope it changes more drastically, or others and me want a refund (or maybe get the grey or tundra as a free gift)
