dark star orianna skinprovements

Im happy orianna finally got a non event non holiday skin but was disappointed when I started using her. I was disappointed mainly because the skin is so drab. Obviously a normal dark star skin shouldnt be super super bright but shes not even dark enough to be spacelike and shes basically just this bluishpurple really flat looking texture blob. The galaxy in her middle is too small to have any notable detail. This color scheme is similar to kha but he mostly makes up for it with flashy skill effects. Aside from oris ball travel (which if played right is often not seen) all of her skill effects are just purple and lack the contrast required to provide depth.

To remedy these issues I think Riot should do add more star color(yellow/orange) to her skin and her skills.

For example khazix has noticeable amounts of bright pink and some orange/yellow. Ori currently has only blue with a few tiny spots of pink. It would be better if riot would add more orange/yellow to the center of her galaxy similar to the object on khas back. Also i think all of her skills should initially have some small flare of yellow/orange like khas before going to purple.

I also think that her ult is not correctly animated. It currently shows a dark star pulling inward followed by a small yellow outward explosion which is when the pull happens. It should really be a larger yellow outward explosion followed by a dark inward explosion similar to the birth of a blackhole immediately after a supernova. That would also make more sense since the implosion would coincide with the pull from her ult instead of the reverse.

I'd also like to add on that the voice should have changed like with every other dark star

Ok good, I thought I was just imagining/misremembering the voice changes for the other champions (i never play any of them). On the same note, I'd really like a new laugh audio, waiting like 3-5 seconds for a delayed laugh makes it pretty useless. TBH Dark star ori should not be a 1350 skin in its current state.

It has everything a 1350 skin demands. An updated voice does not come with skins of that quality.

They didn't change the voice of Khazix or Varus . They only changed Thresh because it was a 1820 skin.

Adding a lot of yellows and oranges would mash the feeling of the skin. A Dark Star skin is supposed to embody the fears of deep space, and the death of planets. Too many warm colors would shred the malicious identity.

Ok fine, but they should at least make her a lot blacker then. She's basically just bluish purple, that doesn't say space at all. Tbh they could call her emorianna and she'd fit better than dark star since she looks like a 12 yo who got her first makeup palette from hot topic.
