feedback on a not so new skin from Odyssey event

Kayn's Odyssey skin looks pretty interesting and is drastically different from regular Kayn, which is fine I suppose. However, I have to mention that his animations are not consistent with what we've come to expect from Kayn. The way he holds his weapon as he walks around in his default form just scream 'Ekko' and not Kayn. This lack of consistency with animation in a new skin should not be considered acceptable IMO as we already have trouble with colors changing so much from skin to skin, we can't allow animating of a character's weapon to define their skin, it should define the champion instead.

Riot did well in making that new Master Yi skin coming out recognizable by his animations being consistent, but with that Odyssey event they really dropped the ball on the Kayn skin and I hope in the future they will fix this issue for players unfamiliar with the skin to not be confused by it.

I also hope that attention can be brought to this so that other skins that have a problem like this are dealt with and future skins don't continue to present this problem.

That's because Kayn's skin is a Legendary. Riot changes pretty much everything about them with new animations. For example Aether Wing Kayle auto attacks and holds her sword differently to base Kayle.
