Riot, is PROJECT: Katarina only this?

Ekko and Ashe look really nice in my opinion.

Katarina, my "main" ( I don't really have a main, I play anyone I can enjoy playing ), is lackluster in terms of a PROJECT skin.

When Ekko gets the movement speed off his passive proc, a green trail follows behind him. When Katarina gets the movement speed from her W, she gets the normal, speed boost detail trailing her.

While making her daggers go from a red into a pink, it becomes to look like Fiora because of her white hair and the pink off the daggers. This isn't a problem to me, but other people are noting it.

I want to know if more is going to be done for his skin, as it looks incomplete and deserves more to really be considered and looked at as a PROJECT skin. Every skin should compliment the line, and have consistency.

Nonetheless, I will still be getting all 3 the day of release because they're some of my most favorite champions to play.

TL;DR - Katarina's skin needs consistency and more 'umph'.

Edit - PBE on July 14th added particles for when her W proc'd movement speed. So, the skin isn't finished yet! (: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o5Ul_Gof7E (thanks to Decrit)

I definitely agree, I was surprised to see her generic death animation. I'm assuming they haven't finished everything so hopefully she'll have more to come.

I like the skin alot, and I can understand where you're coming from. But I also feel like they did an amazing job adding a lot of particles on a champion like kat. Kat really doesn't have many particles.

I think it'd be cool if they gave her new particles/VFX for her passive resets.

Also it looks like Ashe and Ekko have new VO for this skin (Like Omega Teemo), but not Kat. Kat just have her standard voice tuned a bit. I hope VO is not complete yet. Ashe's VO is really cool and unique from other skins.

I heard that Kat is getting a rework/big update during/after assassin class update.....there is a rework list....maybe Kat is in it......they will change something about Kat...so...maybe the effect on this skin is not permanent/final version......

The skin is still on pbe. Zed still had the death animation from his classic skin for a long time. I think it's too early to criticise my friend.

It's hard for them to do much for Kat in terms of particles due to her very simple and straightforward kit. It's not fair to compare her to Ekko and Fiora who have numerous possible effects on each ability.

As cool as the Kat skin looks I don't think it's a skin Riot was really committing to to make amazing like the others. The skin is a reworked version of one of her cancelled skins (cybergirl Katarina.) So on one hand they delivered on an old idea and made it better than it started, but on the other the skin does seem lackluster compared to the other PROJECT skins this year.
