@Riot Blood Lord Vladimir needs an update/fix for a 1820 RP skin!

Blood Lord skin really doesn't live up to that price. I love this skin, it was one of the best skins in game before you "updated" it with his rework. When you get into the game, you really don't feel the "blood lord" vibe in anything other than his voice. His splash art is also amazing, but in game it just doesn't live up to it. https://imgur.com/jb2RKjF

Also, look at this animations. That old big one was the reason I bought the skin. When you Q-ed someone, you really felt like you're taking their blood. New animation is terrible and you literally can't even see it in game if you don't really focus on it. https://imgur.com/l3YQVPq https://imgur.com/w7WAv8o

In the meantime, I'd like a Vlad skin where he's wearing cargo shirts and a T-shirt that says "Hemomancer against Cancer."

Then everyone will know Vladimir is just a really nice guy who is entirely misunderstood.

Rito should do this and donate the profit to organizations that fight cancer

There's quite a few 1820 skins that need updating.

i'm still upset about TwistedFate Tristana and Heimerdinger 1820 skins not getting bumped up to legendary quality when they got their respective VU's.

Yeah but those skins were already "retired".

Also keep in mind with VGUs past retired skins DID get updated. But not the legedary ones -for example Twitch's retired skins.

ThunderneedleOct 22, 20175 votes

Magnificent TF costs 1820 but it's more like 750/975 for the effort they put in.

MhihnjOct 22, 20173 votes

don't forget gentleman cho. Only VO is there. There are no particle effect changes.

SpongebobIsLifeOct 22, 20171 votes

it was also the first of their kind. Like his skin was first of its kind.

MhihnjOct 22, 20171 votes

bruh pls. 3 comments?

MarshbouyOct 22, 20171 votes

probably a bug with wifi connection or something. Not his fault. People accidentally post duplicate comments all the time on reddit.

The unique thing about this one is that they think it got worse with the Vlad update. The old Q animation is preferred.

Friendly RamOct 22, 20171 votes

Ok gotcha.

EternyaOct 21, 201710 votes

It won't happen until he gets a vgu

Blood MagicksOct 21, 201711 votes

Which won't happen soon, despite the fact that the fanbases of JoJo, Castlevania, Hellsing, Anne Rice, every Stoker franchise ever, Legacy of Kain, GoT, Dragon Age, serial killer media (looking at Patrick Bateman and the likes here) are out there and waiting to be catered to.

Don't mind me, just a sad fan.

VeltoxOct 22, 20176 votes

I would spend at least 3000 for a skin voiced by Crispin Freeman or Curtis Arnott.

Blood MagicksOct 22, 20172 votes

faints

AlmightyOct 22, 20177 votes

Plot twist. Crispin Freeman voices the entire Vlad VU.

Funny that you mention Dragon Age, that game is what made Blood Magic stand out to me so much. Shame they didn't have it in Inquisition.

"His splash art is also amazing."

Correction. The angle is great. The quality is outdated. Just compare it to the updated splash arts of Marquis and Count Vladimir.

See what i mean? The art quality has greatly improved since Blood Lord Vlad's release. So, i imagine, the splash art will be updated alongside the entire skin when Vlad gets his Visual Update.

There's fanart better than the current splash.

I totally agree. Hopefully they'll do something about it.

ShadowParkerOct 22, 20174 votes

The new animation is definately better than the old one lmao.

That said, the skin should be updated but so should a lot of other skins

Miku AppendOct 22, 20174 votes

Update my handsome man. Seriously, Vlad needs some love in the visual update department.

Probs feedingOct 21, 20173 votes

Yes, please!

PaladinNOOct 22, 20173 votes

Meanwhile, The Magnificent Twisted Fate and Annie in Wonderland...

Blood Lord Vladimir is at least the 12th legendary skin ever released, so they started to get their act together with it.

Corporate mundo

GrReaper96Oct 22, 20171 votes

At least that one has a VO....

ReySolomonOct 22, 20172 votes

Would be nice if they added recall animation all of the legendary skins have one but this one.

zombie brand needs one too

Vlad Agrees.

AninLegions777Oct 22, 20172 votes

Lool what about Red baron and Ice Toboggan corki? Vlad has it good compared to those skins.

Biscuit BiteOct 22, 20171 votes

Or the skin "The Magnificent Twisted Fate", so ugly, so expensive.

AninLegions777Oct 22, 20171 votes

That one's a ripoff too

Then what about Demonblade Tryndamere ?

Tryndamere Chogath

Jerry SeinfeIdOct 22, 20171 votes

so is this gonna happen every week now?

There's plenty of those Tristana TwistedFate Tryndamere Chogath Corki all got "legendary skins" that are worth 975 or in cho's case at best 1350 (new voice).

SkorchOct 22, 20171 votes

Or Demonblade Tryndamere as well.

Packun FlowerOct 22, 20171 votes

Well if we are on this topic, throw in Annie in Wonderland as well.

Seriously though Riot already stated that old 1820rp skins will never be updated to meet current 1820 standards. I believe it was KateyKhaos that stated that.
