While I would 100% want this in the game, you have to remember that it is a 520 RP skin. Not a lot of effects should go into it. It already looks amazing too. While I hope he gets tentacles instead of chains, Riot probably wont do it.

I hope im wrong and Riot does do it though

EDIT: Thank god I was wrong. They may not be tentacles, but they look a whole lot better than the chains for Crabgot.

I don't really know much about skins and their pricing (I don't have any) but I think most people would be okay if they increased its price in exchange for just being a better skin overall? The splash art for it is great after all, and the concept seems pretty popular.

They wont increase the price, it would create imbalance between those who purchased it in the past and those who what to get it now.

Guess what:

  1. Riot MEMEMEMEME tweeted some changes coming to Giant Enemy Crabgot, changing his chains. Look for these in a future PBE update: "Adding some more tendrilly, organic feeling chains to Crabgot's ult based on feedback."

Do they have chains?

Killaburn7 votes

yep that what i thought too. thats the only thing that destroys the skin for me too but we are not in the position to complain considering they put alot of effects to a 520 rp skin.

Its not like they can't change the skin pricing

Then you'll have an outrage of people saying "I was planning on buying crabgot for the update but they increased the price before I could buy it" instead. They haven't changed the price on a single skin as far as I'm aware ever since they standardized the skin tiers.

or if they can't do tentacles, they could make them anchors?

I could imagine it if it were like a crab shell chain still having that clanging sound, I think thats still organic while not being as dramatic of a change as tentacles.

I hope they add a sound effect of Tobias' slurping.

This! And give the Battlecast some Claws on his left gun for a more fitting E - Animation.

Yes! This! I was actually thought about this earlier today. If Riot did this, it would make this skin the best 520 skin out to date and I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Full price even.

I thought this too and agree slimy tentacles would be better but its also not at that price tier for extra special effects, im grateful for what they already gave it

plus, a rusty old diving drill does still kinda fit the theme

It's PBE, you know it's gonna be changed

TheGoddessBell2 votes

99% of what is on PBE is NEVER changed.

TheGoomyGamer1 votes

I agree, but isn't it a 520 skin? Thats a lot of new effects for a 520 skin then again Galio got arcane Galio after his rework TY rito for not changing skin prices :)

Pentakill Karthus is also like 520 RP and it's got its own VO.
