Le tigre braum's passive indicator

Burnt Iron King·12/9/2014, 10:33:55 PM·48 votes·4,957 views

It looks really cool and should be kept but it raises the question why Dragonslayer braum's dragon skull got turned into an orange ram head. Since you're giving this feature to this new skin might it be possible to change DS braum's back to the cool dragon one? Please?

I looked up what they said about the Dragonslayer passive effect and this is what Riot Wreckz said,

"This is a totally reasonable question.

Braum's passive requires a lot of ally interaction, probably the most of any ability in our game outside of thresh lantern. Braum getting Concussive Blows on an enemy is a call to action for his allies to focus fire that target, as a result the call needs to be very clear. We evaluated these things and made the decision that changing the iconography on his skin was too different from the base for allies to be expected to follow up in the way that we wanted, so instead took an approach to make changes to the base icons color that make it feel at home on the skin while still maintaining a consistent and readable shape language/symbol.

We totally think that the dragon face icon was cool, but pushing towards our game design goal of clarity we felt in this case making the gameplay oriented decision of providing a consistent symbol was the best choice for all players experiences."

I really hope they come in here and go, "Actually we realized that was a silly idea so here is the Dragonslayer symbol back guys."

Also for those unfamiliar with what it used to look like here is a picture: http://i.imgur.com/BLVGT1Z.jpg

I'd like to see the dragon skull instead of the generic one as well.

I was actually kind of pissed about this when I saw it hit the Beta. I'm really hoping Riot changes the Dragonslayer one too, because it just feels so awkwardly out of place on the skin as a recolored ram.

I really hope they change Braum's indicator for Dragonslayer back to the original Dragon one.I'd also rather they kept the uniqueness of the new Tiger one as well instead of scrapping it for the ram again because of the same flawed reasoning as before.

As stated in another thread like this....

"I don't play Braum, but I do agree with this. Varus has been out for a while and with his Arclight skin, his W stacks look very familiar... Zilean

I'm just saying... some people would enjoy new effects more often on first release skins like that."

It's really about time they changed dragon slayer then.

The passive indicator actually looks more of a **lion **than a tiger.
