My One Gripe About Elderwood Hecarim

As cool as I think the skin is, I find Hecarim to be an odd choice. I remember reading this thread discussing the potential story of the Elderwood theme (this was prior to Elderwood Hecarim's release), and liking in particular this idea of a parallel skin line called "Moldwood" or "Rotwood" or something. You would have the nice and sympathetic spirits on the side of Elderwood, and have the more hostile woodland spirits be the Rotwoods. Hecarim was suggested as a Rotwood, and I thought that worked. His default VO lines just don't jive with woodland guardian. Maybe I just like the Rootwood idea too much, so I'm not seeing that Elderwood doesn't essentially mean nice.

I would have been disappointed if hecarim got another skin that was dark blue, purple or Black. Most of his skins are already dark themed.

The skin's good, don't get me wrong. This is just a nitpick of mine about how Hecarim's lines don't quite fit a woodland guardian in my opinion.

I can see the problem there. I'd have to agree, but more lines would increase the cost.

Yeah. It's a minor gripe, is all.

Well good is not always nice. Hecarim could be still a maniac even if he fights to protect his realm.

And overall I think a forest themed skin is also fitting for hecarim since centaurs are also often associated with forests.
