Does the ultimate MF fit quality standard?

Someone on Reddit made a very nice detailed post about it, i don't agree with some of the personal opinions but the main point being that they reused too many assets and didn't work on newer animations besides the ult is quite bothersome. https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/82iu8o/gun_goddess_mf_shouldnt_be_ultimate_and_here_is/ He gives examples with side to side comparisons with pictures that you can really see his point in them.

The only thing it changes is the ult animation, this skin is just bumped into price because of the chromas it comes with and that's not okay i feel. We aren't asking for quantity when we want an ultimate or legendary skin. We want quality.

A reminder that this happened too https://boards.pbe.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/general-pbe-feedback/qnK0MB8Q-update-on-sewn-chaos

"Sometimes we work on things that just don’t end up hitting our quality bar. And usually, we try to cut those things well before they actually hit PBE, but in this case we were a little too late. The truth is neither Sewn Chaos Blitzcrank nor Sewn Chaos Amumu hit the quality expected of our recent skins, so we’re making the call to remove them. "

So this MF skin hits the quality standard as the other 3250? is any single one of the models even hitting the modern 1820 standard?

Credit to LastDreamy from Reddit. Just one of the examples this fellow presented. Can this be the first and last time you do this riot? bundle up multi chromas or variations of the same skins to bump of the price of one. We would appreciate 1 high quality interactive skin model over 10 okay ones.

It is not acceptable to make this a reduced priced ultimate because it sets a bad precedent for further low quality ultimates. It also prevents MF from ever being given a proper high quality ultimate in the future (we tend to assume ultimate is the pinnacle so every champion will only get one).

They absolutely must backpedal to make this a legendary skin, and then just make the chromas more expensive than others because of the slight model changes. The model changing in game makes no sense with these skins and has no purpose anyway, so nobody should miss it.

Well if you look at the animations closely you'll see that while they are similar,they aren't the same.

The exosuit likely meant that they had to keep the animations similar,so that people would recognize her as Miss fortune,similar to how the Lancer Blitzcrank Skins weren't able to get a new walk animaton,because that made him look too different.

You should watch the newest Dev Diary. It specifically addresses that issue. She also specifically stated that they’d be dropping the price for it in comparison to the other ultimate skins.

I'll only buy this skin if it shows up on my shop at 70% discount. It's not worth the money and honestly even secret agent and christmas mf look better than this skin imo

It's basically a Legendary with 3 Chromas that you don't have a choice but to buy.

Its a legendary skin that changes chromas in game, it shouldnt be called a ultimate skin. Maybe epic legendary skin lol

They aren't chromas though. Each exosuit has different detailed designs.

I believe the reason they didn't go with a more unique walking and idle animation for MF is because her model is already so drastically changed from her base skin, that significantly changing her animations too would just make her even more difficult to read as MF. It was either one or the other in this case and they decided to go with the more complex and unique model instead since that's what the theme is about (body armor/guns). Even then, the skin is already pushing the boundaries of readability a bit and can be quite tricky to identify as MF in game.

Like lots of people have said before, if RIOT actually listens to us, pulls out the skin, reworks it to use the BADASS Concept art and put that in so every time you change the skin, it can be something new like hair, helmet, armor, instead of chroma colors and stuff. As an MF main I was pretty excited to see this and sorry to see all the disappointment surrounding this skin especially. If RIOT can also change the splash art a bit as well then everyone will like it, even non-MF mains too! RIOT just needs to LISTEN TO US! ~please.......( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
