Forsaken Jayce Sucks
As a huge Jayce fan, and a fan of Star Wars, this skin truly sucks at it's price-point in both directions (it could have been cheaper for the work done, or it could have had more work done and be Legendary). A lot of wasted potential, lazy design, weird details. I'm passing this up and sticking to the Base or Debonair.
Why?
-
Stop the lazy voice filters; It used to be an interesting detail and works with some champions' VOs, but now it's getting obnoxious. Some champions have voice filters so bad, you can't even tell what they're saying at max volume. Not the case here, but for a "Sith Lord" champion, the voice filter only goes half of the way. Jayce's default voice really breaks the fantasy here. This could have been a great Legendary skin project with new voice overs.
-
No new joke or taunt; Another big missed opportunity here. Sith Lord Jayce still has RAINBOW CONFETTI coming out of his weapon. You re-used the Q explosion for his death animation, but can't do anything here?
-
Visual Effects; What exactly is all this red shit plastered all over the Mercury Hammer? It's constnatly glowing bright red and you can barely see the hammer's details. Why does the Cannon look fine but the Hammer has to glow so horrendously? This is the worst case of "red and black is cool and edgy" i've seen in a while
The cheapest way to save this skin is to just call it "Jayce Cosplays as Anakin" (also, really? Going with the shitty Prequel Anakin? Don't let people who liked those movies earn a living in creative fields...)
