@RiotKateyKhaos I really love the new Star Guardian Skins but....

i love all of them a lot. i'm especially happy because Poppy got a new skin finally.

However all of the other Star Guardians Effects and spells look super cool and unique for the skins but Poppy's Effects aside from her ult look exactly the same as her effects for all of her old skins but with a few barely noticeable star effects. it feels like a waste of an opportunity to add a lot more flare onto her.

is there any chance that there will be some addition to liven it up a bit? i mean every other Skin has effects that match their colors and designs pretty well but Poppy is still sitting here with the same gold effects and designs as her old skins.

not sure if it's a Pricing thing or something but this skin just feels so lacking compared to the rest.

They should be blue! The same old yellow is kinda lame to see given that all of her other skins have it. A nice baby blue tint to the particles would really add to the overall quality and feel for the skin.

I could see her W getting more of a blue tint.

Going back and looking now i see that just the slash art has her shield as blue and I'' actually pretty upset to see it's not actually blue in game play as well! I went back and watched the spotlights again and got a better look at her stuff and I now think either way her Q or W could've been blue.

I'm honestly still pretty happy though. I love playing Poppy and I'm incredibly eager for this skin regardless.

I think the problem with poppy is that they want to keep them golden to make them moe readable. And while I can understand that for her shield(so that you and your enemy have an easy time keeping track of the shield),its kinda weird that they do this with all of her abilities.

All the others are mages and an ADC who sling spells and projectiles constantly so the animators have a lot to work with. Poppy being a melee tank who is mostly there to take damage means they don't have a lot of effects they can add to.

They all look fairly different to me, besides maybe her W being similar.

Riot said that coloring choices are for coherence. They have however taken note of the feedback and are looking to perhaps add a little extra

Most likely is this way for gameplay reasons

They should let her effects have more linger on them. Like if you get a stun onto a wall you get a star effect at that spot

I see what you mean, but she does not have much particle effects in the first place. By all means, they could add them, but it may not be what they were going for.

Personally, I love her shield.

I see it more as keeping to her lore. She loves Demacia! If you look at her skin and then look at Garen, their armor isn't lacking in similarities and I think that's amazing! Her shield is a blue star, which is freakin' adorable, and what i think they really missed out on was making the face of her hammer in the shape of a star. That would've been next level. Then it could've been blue with the current gold star on the side so maybe her q could've been blue, but either way, I think it's a pretty small detail being one or the other but a pretty amazing thing that they're sticking to Poppy so well as a character and what makes her HER!

Just a yordle with a hammer. ^_^
