PROJECT style choices?

Im understanding that this batch / series of project skins is supposed to be like an outside cyber punk feel where they rely on scavenging rather than direct PROJECT upgrades. but like none of these skins feel thematically correct.

  • The female project skins have less and less substantial visors with each release, Jinx barely has one, Akali has one but looks like it can be toggled, and prestige Irelia has nothing at all.

  • Jinx also seems to have no real project vibe besides her arm, her entire midriff is showing, she could at least have a fiber jump suit underneath

  • And the hair? I feel like changing the hair to the iconic PROJECT ghost white would help the vibe immensely. On top of Akali;s hair does not match the rest of her design, blacks and reds with neon teal hair?

  • I thought the promotional teaser looked great and the shot of them all facing PROJECT headquarters looked really good but it feels like something was lost in translation

  • Warwick is kinda just there i guess

I doubt any changes will actually happen but this is my favorite skin line and one of the coolest skin lines lore wise, i'd be disappointed to see some of this odd ball choices make it through

From Pyke's special interaction with her, Akali's actually a PROGRAM double agent. Which I hope means she's a triple agent, what with being a ninja and all.

Lore says that Jinx's augmentation was stopped by a power outage, which is also what made her go insane. She isn't as augmented/PROJECT-like because she's literally unfinished in that universe.

I love AND hate Akali's hair in the new skin. Yes, I love the cyperPunk style it gives off and what not... but I loved how each PROJECT skin had the signature white hair. This... lost it. Not even a chroma offers them.
