Dear god Riot, please tell me you are going to improve that base Sona skin
Lets start with the good thing about the skin
-
Those particle effects look pretty nice, I can see where the work was allocated
-
She looks nice in the trailer
Now the bad
-
It looks nothing like Sona OR the Sona we saw in the trailer, just look at that face, Sona's classic model has a pretty damn nice face why does she look like she has Ravens curse here? she looks like a corpse and nothing like Sona or the Sona we saw in the trailer even the damn icon seems to prefer to make her look ugly, I would also advise toning down the junk around her shoulders because it makes her look like Karma and there is so much crap going on there it's just pure noise... please tell me there is going to be a CTRL+5 option for this skin to take her hood off and bare her twintails so we can actually see, oh it actually is Sona
-
She's tiny, she looks like a ward skin in the picture, I bet Tristana is taller then this Sona skin...not much more to add to this, stop making Sona tiny when she loses her long dress I guess...
-
That color scheme is pure vomit, who the hell picked that shade of green?...why is it so dark when it looked more colorful in the trailer, the green and yellow here really do not mix well...
-
If you have seen the Spanish gameplay trailer then you can see her animations looks incredibly sloppy, just....them legs...or lack there of...it just looks gross how they wiggle
-
She looks evil in the model, very sinister looking with mad Cassiopia vibes coming off her...once again NOTHING LIKE THE TRAILER
She is like 80% Human 20% Alien in the trailer She is like 20% Human 80% Alien in game
How to fix
- Make her look like how she looked in the trailer
...yeah, that's it
I am pretty disappointed that we had to wait 3 years for a Sona skin and it really looks like the base model of it had no care into it at all (at least to what was referenced, why all the clutter that isn't present in the splash), I hope you fix it up I am not going to go on a tirade if you do like this ingame model, different strokes and all that, but it really looks like they just amalgamated all the female humanoid enchanter supports + Karma and put a (horrible) cloak around her (entire body), I am also not going to go into the whole "muh shrinking boobs" even though it looks quite clear, a breast reduction is the least offensive thing here
At the end of the day, it is just a skin, I do obviously feel let down (especially with Star Guardian being so anticipated for Sona, timing, weebs like cute stuff, ect) but it's a skin i do feel does not represent the champion in anyway or the character that was seen in that trailer, she's gonna be known as the weird alien thing that stole Sona's moveset to me
