Get this Mecha ASol out of here

wejustplay··8 votes·2,738 views

I’m a MASSIVE Aurelion Sol fan, I have been ever since he was announced. I still play him to this day and I loved grinding to get his mastery 7 emote. But dear freaking god, this skin is a joke. How do you take a champion who is so grand and over the top and literally larger than life and give him this half-naked, shoddy as hell wannabe transformer bull shit of a skin?

We waited 2 years, and for what? For WHAT??? I feel completely robbed. It’s bad enough my girl taliyah had to wait for someone to choose her to be a Worlds skin, but now when ASol finally gets one, it looked like it’s barely been animated, let alone thought out.

Let me break it down:

A.) This theme doesn’t fit. Period. Normally seeing a new skin makes some sort of sense, or at least you can see it coming. Out of ALL OF THE FAN ART OUT THERE, I have never even SEEN this or heard of it. And I don’t mean that in a “oh I’m so happy to be surprised” kind of way. Pool party, soul fire, candy, lunar revel, SNOWDOWN! All of these have been insanely popular since they’ve been out and it just doesn’t make sense why you would pick something that no one asked for, thematically.

B.) His q is dirty, literally. You can barely see the animation against the ground. And speaking of “animation”, there hardly anything there! Evelynn disappearing with her passive has more pizzaz than this does. And the way it’s hitbox is displayed it look smaller than it really is.

C.) All of the animations look very unpolished. This just seems like such a rushed job and I know for a FACT, y’all are gonna charge at least 1350 for it when it’s barely worth 750.

My finally point Is this: please make something else. Even if it means having to wait to make a more appropriate skin. And if you won’t, and are going to stick with this, please polish the living hell out of it so it’s worth the time you out into making it in the first place.

Thanks peeps!

oh my god calm the heck down. For one, why aren't you grateful that riot FINALLY made a new aurelion sol skin, I been waiting too, sure I am not too impressed, but dear god I am glad he has a new skin. Now we have our minds set on kled, ivern, camille and kayn

people were chomping at the bit for striker LeeSin were they... probably due to overhype, we raise his skin to something in never could attain, but for a few, it seems lack luster. Whether it be the recall, the coloring, etc... (probably will get a release chroma anyway, which imo highlights shortcomings with a skin on release that is) I wouldn't say the skin is awful, the effects are quite nice albeit pretty simular. My biggest gripe is the recall trasnform doesn't really fit the motions he does, flip jaw things? spind, and now he's a 1 piece spaceship.... wut? I am fine with the ship part, but the change is just to weird and sudden for my liking. I really hope they make it better as it is a PRE-RELEASE skin, and hope they can spit shine that, they have a decent base, but it just doesn't shine yet.

I do find it odd though out of ALL the fan art skins, they chose mecha?

Malphite Aatrox Sion Rengar Khazix are all mecha skin holders, by no means is it wrong to expand on the skin line, but I always thought mecha was a top/jungle skin line, like heart seeker is a marksman/support skinline?

Well it's riot, it would have to take a dying kid to make them a skin that people really want, for example dark star cho'gath

Yo Op sorry for the downvotes. I felt the same way with Project Ekko when it was released. Riot won't do much about the skin if the Valentine Rakan skin is any indication. If you're like me and simply must have EVERY skin for your one trick, regardless of whether you'll use it or not, I am also sorry for your wallet.

lol it's ok, i didn't even check this thread until months later xD. i forgot i had even posted it. I do like to collect skins for my main champs but I still can't justify buying it. I still stand by everything I said back then, no matter how many people try downvoting it lol. It's been out for about a month and half now and I've literally only seen it once. What does that tell you xD

Right there with you bud. Just sucks that we'll now have to sit and wait another 2+ years, hoping and praying he eventually gets a GOOD skin. I'm sure Kled mains are feeling the same way, looking at that Harrowing skin coming out...
