Snow Day Malzahar ruined after 7.15

I should have mentioned this a long time ago but honestly I hadn't played Malz in a while until recently.

V7.15 Void Shift.png Void Shift BUG FIX: Purple overlay no longer hides Malzahar's skins when Void Shift is active.

This was a really good change; it made Malz' older skins look way better instead of a homogenized purple blur. However, it made Snow Day Malzahar (and to some extent, his default skin) look worse. Example:

This is what it used to look like. Notice how the pants look like they're covered in frost. The passive made Snow Day the best skin for a long time because you spent a lot of your time with your passive up and it looked good because of the attention to detail.

This is what it looks like now: https://imgur.com/VCuygEk

Now, you could argue that the vibrant blue colors look better (that is what it looked like pre-rework and what it looks like when your passive is down), but you can't deny it lost some of its charm due to the removal of the frosty pants :(

Bring back the frosty pants!

The term 'ruined' is a bit of a stretch, don't you think?
