Firecracker Jinx's Chromas look Awful

I've been loving the latest chromas coming out for different characters, and have eagerly awaited one for my main Jinx. However, these color schemes are just... disgusting, honestly. Everything clashes and nothing looks remotely as good as the original. The black and gold one almost looks great, but the strange lavender/light blue used for the guns clash so much with the rest I can hardly stand it.

I appreciate the gesture of making Chromas for Jinx, but I have to say I'm surprised these were even approved for the PBE. They really, honestly look terrible.

I do not really like them either, but disgusting is taking a bit too far. I would advise more restraint in your wording ;) To me, they are a bit too inconsistent in colouring, with some random colours here and there. I would prefer more direction.

I tried to alter the black one and make two suggestions, but I do not have access to the original files, so the result is somewhat basic: http://imgur.com/AHj2uvc

EDIT 1

  • Played with the colours
  • Made her hair orange/red to make it stand more out from the yellow details
  • Made her weapons green to fit with the tattoo

EDIT 2

  • Made the details red, but kept the necklase yellow, making it more noticeable
  • Added a small pattern to her dress
  • Made the minigun blue-green to make it stand more out from her rocket launcher
  • Made her boots brownish red to be more in line with the rest of the colours

My biggest problem with the black chroma is the colour of her guns. Too bright, and clash with the other colours. You and others might dislike my suggestions, but at least I tried to show some alternatives :)

Riot also missed the chance to make a Chun-li chroma for this... :O

Actually, I like these more than the original skin. And Jinx is my second pick for adc after trist.
