Does anyone else think the new borders look . . . worse?

Perhaps I'm having a status quo bias, but I really like our current borders. They aren't covered in "tacky" things, giving them a clean and professional feel. However, these new borders, especially the last three, look like someone at Riot just stuck spikes on them in an effort to differentiate them from the others.

As for the other borders, they just don't look nice enough. I don't know where exactly to put my finger on it, but it could be that they aren't very shiny at all, which is weird considering the material they're supposed to be made with.

I also don't like how skinny the borders are. It kind of takes away from the accomplished feeling a border should convey. Imagine getting the highest rank in a game but the border is actually horrid to look at? Would it even feel worth for all the PAIN AND SUFFERING you went through to get it?

I dunno, they change every year, so I'm not inclined to think too hard about it.

They do look thinner than the current borders, and I see how that could be bothersome.

Hey, I made a post about this earlier today, and I agree with everything you are saying.

The new borders definitely feel like more of a downgrade than an upgrade in my opinion, and I think riot could of put more effort into the borders, especially for the ranks platinum+..

It's all just so.. dull. I'm really not a fan of the helms either, or the removal of the main gems each rank had. I don't get why they went out of their way to add these random spectrum of colors(pink, red) and the proceed to dim and dull it all out. It just looks boring and depressing.

Eh i think they're better imo. They're more clear, and the colors arent too saturated. Not to mention the fact that Bronze and Iron now get borders
