Disappointed at the "NEW" Tahm Kench URF skin.

_So I love the new skin Idea, but I hate that they couldn't change the emblem from a Lobster to a manatee during his passive. Why have a skin, and not change the ability looks much. Kind of annoying to me. The Icon process doesn't take a lot of thought/process to fix.

Could be perfect with a manatee emblem. Or a different Icon all together. I feel even though he looks different, it's the same skin as the other. _

I feel the creators are getting lazy at this point~_

Hey XZmbeJetX!

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback!

For a bit of context here, like AvantelWings pointed out, this is a 750 RP skin. Generally, 750 RP skins don't receive new particles, unless it's what we consider to be quality of life. Ex. Changing Warden Nautilus' shields to match the new thematic. In this case, we actually used Master Chef Tahm Kench's decal, as opposed to the base because we felt it worked better with the thematic (and matched his bib :3).

It's a 750 skin -- they don't get new particles. It's amazing that they changed it to the lobster at all, rather then keeping the fish from the base skin

The emblem of his passive signifies eating - urf eats lobsters.

Urf's favorite food was always lobster. Call it "lazy" if you want, but at least it fits; they could have just as easily just left it as the default "fish" icon.

A spatula icon would be better than a manatee icon. The lobster icon is fine though.

How about make Urf Kench 975 and switch the stacks to a spatula/manatee and make Master Chef Tahm Kench stafck's a squid/octopus from his splash art.

i dont understand why riot releases half assed skins like this at all. ive seen better user made skins than half the junk theyre selling in the store (like spiderman amumu). they have a whole art team churning this crap out, and yet we get shit like emo amumu, where they literally just add a tuff of black hair on top of him and sell it to us for 5-10 dollars. skins should all be top quality and completely transform the character. not add 1 little thing or a color change. this skin doesnt even make sense and its just lazy.

i also dont understand why every champ doesnt have like 10 skins available. riot would make way more money, and wed have more options. so many champs have been around since the first season and only have like 3-5 skins available, the majority of which are simple sprite color changes that took 3 seconds to do in the sprite editor
