I actually like the new ult a lot better. The old ult looks rather messy.

but in my opinon the old ult's lingering effects made have so much more detail into it

(and many of the other skils like q and w and e )

His old ult looked amazing and I think it would be cool to tweak it if they make a Pool Party Ezreal skin. But Ezreal already has too many skins! Well I'm wishing for every champion in the game to have a Pool Party skin. It also doesn't have to come out for 10 years, so all the other champions could have a chance to get nice skins for themselves. Taric needs a buddy though if you know what I mean

But yeah.. compared to his old particles, the new ones appear lackluster and toned down, which doesn't make him feel as ultimate. It looks like it could be part of the Project skin line instead of something more

The effects could have been partially downgraded for LCS players to actually use the skin. I recalled there are certain skins banned because of the flashy particles. Then again, who knows?

Certain skins, such as Iblitzcrank are banned as they make for a bad viewing experience for fans.

That's not the reason. They are banned because some of their skills are less clear (I Blitzcrank's hook for example). It's kinda dumb since Pro players don't really need to see the skill to know if it will land, but eh. It's competitive, so everything must be perfect.

That's a misconception. If that were the case, then Elementalist Lux would be banned in Competitive play due to the abilties not always linking up with the hitboxes. But it's not.

It's a matter of making the viewing experience clear and easy to understand.

i personally prefer the new smooth look of the skills over that mess in the old ones, it was so not technological and more like ezreal just exploded and the energy when in one direction along with dust

Yeah, I can't say this is a bad change, from where I'm sitting. Looks great to me.

u should be happy they even considered going back to update an old skin after they said they really dont like doing that.

You bought PFE for the big flashy effects but all they did is turn all the particles blue

I like the new ult, but it could be brighter.

I like the updates more than then old. He used to have really messy and pixilated particles now they are smoother and cleaned up. He doesn't need to have an extra mess following him and his attacks around.

The issue is all of the particles that need to be updated, as well as the model. It's a very daunting task, and the skin is quite old. When it was released, it was top notch.

the entire new skin looks nothing but worse. W on the old skin is arguably just a recolor of normal W but the current/old skin looks way better than the update IMO why is riot so bad at updating....

I like the new Q better, the old one confused me as to the size of the particle vs the actual hitbox.
