As usual, skin line loses focus

As always, Riot carries a skin line on to a champion that they don't know how to make work, but want to force it anyways. High Noon Ashe is just dirty Cosmic Queen Ashe, and has no similar aesthetics to the High Noon skins. From what it looks like, they were supposed to be Ghost Rider-esque, especially with Lucian and Thresh. Then Ashe walks in and has the biggest glowybow to ever exist, all shiny particle effects and sleek, smooth designs.. which is entirely counter to the High Noon aesthetic of western hellfire.

What'll be the next skin line that gets the out-of-left-field addition? We've got Corrupted Star Guardians (aka Dark Star) Xayah and Rakan. We've got High Noon (aka Space Dust) Ashe. What's next?

The big glowbow actually leads quite nice into the high noon thematic. Because if there are devils that plague the land, then there should also be angels who bless it.

High Noon Ashe gets her powers from an angel, to fight against the devils and those who have been corrupted by devils.

The High Noon skin line is one big thematic mess. Like on paper lore-wise it may be more interesting than just cowboys and guns but visually in-game...

The skin, individually, as it's own thing, is pretty cool. However that's exactly my problem, same happened to me with the whole dark star guardians, even then there was a better way to execute their concept, like, have you guys seen how villains in Sailor Moon look? You guys could have worked more with that.

I don't know, High Noon passed from a normal western to an enchanted Ghost-Rider like western to, whatever happened with Ashe right now, I wonder which next skinline is going to completely lose the focus.

agree with all except " We've got Corrupted Star Guardians (aka Dark Star)" Yea their skins are garbo.. rakans is okay but its still looks like its only a 10$ skin.. but Dark corrupt star guardians aren't really anything even close to dark star, as thats on a galactic level type threat and they also look alot better unless u prefer the weeb skins
