It would look pretty nice imo, I dont like how it is blue, it feels....off.

Done! :) Feel free to add the picture in your original post, so it displays on the boards and gets attention! Just press the picture once and copy the address from the pop-up.

Thanks man! Looks really nice.

No problem and thanks! :) Try to separate the picture and the text by creating a line, like I did. You do this by hitting [ENTER] after your last word, then you write - three times, hit [ENTER], then post the picture under the three lines.

I wanted Warlord Shen's spirit sword to be a flag instead, but they probably won't do it.

This probably won't happen because the Spirt sword is the color it is for clarity sake.

Though riot sometimes changes these champion specific skin-changes later on.I mean when Braum got the dragonslayer skin,he did not get a unique passive-icon for his dragonslayer skin,because riot was afraid that it would be confusing and create clarity issues. But later on they gave him the unique icon anyway,because they realized that its not that much of an issue.

That's why every sword for each skins is different

Yes,but only the form is changed not the color. For Dragonslayer Braum it was the opposite,they changed the color,but not the form,being afraid that the different form would get in the way of clarity.

And overall I doubt that it would create clarity issues,I mean Oriannas ball also looks different in every skin and shens sword is so big that it should be easy to identify. However thats just my assumption here,maybe Riot tried out different colors during playtests and noticed that it does actually get in the way of clarity,but maybe they never tried in the first place,we just don't know.

it should be flaming imo

StigtriXJan 16, 20161 votes

I do not think Riot is willing to add such fancy effects to a cheap skin.

Bladerunner7777Jan 17, 20161 votes

chosen master yi has some fancy effects and it's only 520

StigtriXJan 17, 20161 votes

Yes, but that is an exception. The skin is a part of a skin theme where price tiers often do not matter that much, because some properties are given. This is also the reason why I have made a post about Blood Moon Shen: he belongs to a theme where effects should be red :)

Since it is in honor/recognition of Scorpion, kind of would like to have a green sword (for the actual scorpion that would shoot out of his hand). Or perhaps a yellow/green combo.
