Feral Warwick VFX

Berserker Armor··4 votes·1,424 views

So today, Warwick's rework was announced and shown. And for the most part, almost everything looks good right now. However, I have some criticisms about one of the recently updated skins, specifically Feral Warwick. On Classic Warwick, his E is a dark red and his eyes turn red when he activates his W, or Bloodhunt. On Warwick's Tundra Hunter skin, his E is blue and his eyes turn blue for his W. This skin costs 520 RP.

However, Feral Warwick, which costs 975 RP, has no particle changes in his kit. His Q remains green and his E is the same as Classic Warwick's. His eyes also remain red like in the base skin. I think it would be a nice change if Feral Warwick's E and eye colors were changed to something different , such as green. I'd like to hear other people's thoughts on this matter.

Feral should've removed all the hex tech crap.

I agree. The appeal of Feral was it's traditional take on werewolves. Now, instead of looking like a classically depicted werewolf from movies and literature, we have a brown variation of the base skin.

Is it bad? I wouldn't say that, but a simpler, more wild looking skin would fit his theme better. One way to do that is like you said(removing the machinery on his right arm), but removing some of his torn clothing could be another alternative.

Overall, I'm disappointed with the skin rework for him. Firefang Warwick lost all his particles which was what made it cool(looks like painted fur now), Hyena Warwick lost his cool walking animation, Big Bad Warwick and Urf Warwick feel more like the standard skin is forcing a cosplay than their own unique skins, Grey Warwick feels lacking in particles around his sword, and Marauder Warwick looks more like a cartoon character than a marauder(he used to look just like the splash art in terms of detail). I really hope the pbe skins aren't finished yet.

I agree the whole thing sticking out of his back is bad imo.

I don't really have a problem with that, my problem with them is that: no particles on firefang, bad urf cosplay, cartoon marauder, grandma movements look off/unappealing, hyena model standardized, no particles on grey's sword.

I was surprised they didnt

Gray warwick should have had different VFX too, with his greenish hues and such

Heck I'd be satisfied if they just colored the classic warwick skin brown and labeled him Feral warwick rather than adding all that complicated stuff.
