Older Pentakill Skins Need Some Love

With Yorick's rework comes the inevitable sadness of realizing that the other Pentakill skins do not come close to the effort put into the newest content. Fleshing out new concepts can be incredibly rewarding, but only when it doesn't completely outshine its relative skins at the same price point.

While Yorick's Pentakill skins have updated VFX and the other skins still have their mundane base particles, it becomes an uncomfortable imbalance for those who feel that their particular skin was left in the dust. As an owner of several Pentakill skins, It has always been a little sad that Karthus' Pentakill skin had unique VO and other features while Olaf, Sona, and Mordekaiser were left without compensation. Morde has even had a rework since his skin was last updated - which didn't include particles or updates of any kind to his skins.

If Yorick has fire particles, guitar rift SFX and other features, it makes no sense for the other skins not to match it both thematically, and in overall value. Morde's dance with his Pentakill skin still has no noise. Olaf and Sona still have absolutely nothing relating them to the heavy metal theme other than their appearance. . . There just seems to be a disconnect with the dispersion of detail, and attention to bringing thematic skins onto par with one-another - especially if they are sold at the same RP.

Thoughts?

They'll be rework too.. When there time comes.. they have not earn it nor do they need it currently. Yorick's been here for what.. 2..maybe 3 years? I forgot but its been a very long time for yorick and he was ignored for all that time.. He wasn't even in the champion rotation.. thats how terrible he was / is.
