Warwick asking Discussion

Edit: Noticed phone autocorrected title, was supposed to say Warwick Skin Discussion.

Just wanted to put my thoughts out there on the Warwick skin update. I know they're still on pbe, but a lot of the skins feel lack luster and I wanted to put this out there for Riot to see before they leave pbe and it's too late to say anything.

Firefang Warwick: The skin on the pbe looks really good as a base for it, but the fact that his flames aren't animated/particles is extremely disappointing. It feels like a large downgrade in the skin. The best part of the skin to me was the cool fire animation/particles.

Marauder Warwick: Again as a base it looks alright, but if it turns out to be the final skin I would be severely disappointed. The current Marauder Warwick skin has about as much detail as the splash, but the new skin looks like something you might see in that old online game Toon Town(or at least that's what I thought of the moment I saw it).

Big Bad Warwick: Standing still the skin seems great to me, but something just feels off whenever I saw its run animation. I think it has to do with it looking like a hulking Warwick doing a bad cosplay of a granny which, if that's what it is, is unfounded because that's what the wolf is supposed to look like in the story.

Urf Warwick: Again feels like Warwick in a bad cosplay. For a skin that's supposed to be him wearing the flayed Urf, it looks more like he boutique fabric and is trying to dress up as him for Halloween. I feel like the figure should have been bulkier from the manatee parts (since manatee blubber isn't paper thin).

Hyena Warwick: Alone it looks great, pretty impressed by it to be honest. The only disappointing thing about it is that you didnt keep the long arms and walk. That's what made the skin so unique, and I know I saw a lot of posts in the past where that was their favorite part about it. It's just a bit disappointing that the only skin he had with a unique model was changed to have the same model.

Grey Warwick: This skin looks amazing in my opinion, I would honestly consider it the best skin (on that note will I be able to buy it?). The only thing that feels off about it is the sword area. I feel like it's lacking a ghost color trail (or blood particles when impaled) coming from it as he moves around.

Feral Warwick: The old skin was a cross between a traditional werewolf and a dog you might have as a pet, which was cool in its own right, now it's been focused on just the dog part it seems. Personally I like this decision, feels like you made more out of it than if you kept it on that fine line or just went traditional werewolf, but I do know there are some complaints about that. Great skin in my opinion.

Tundra Hunter Warwick: Great skin, vastly improved from the old one (which looked like a chroma) and looks good as a stand alone. It might be nice to add some ice particles or something that shows that the ice on his back makes the area around it cold, but regardless it looks nice as is.

Personally, I feel like some of his skins could have alternate taunts perhaps? The URF skin for example, could maybe make use of the gatling gun positioned in warwicks spine to a comedic effect, Firefang could shake off some ash and cinder, big bad could comment about the big ears he has, etc. Warwick
