I like Blood Moon Evelynn

KiWiKiD, you seem to be personally getting a lot of flak for the design of it. Just wanted to show some support and positive feedback.

Sure, the non-stealth form appears more Lunar Wraith/Revel, but the stealth is unmistakably Blood Moon. If anything, it makes more sense given Eve's demonic nature and "true form" being the stealth form.

Also, to address the main criticism I've seen for it... why does Blood Moon Evelynn need white hair? Akali doesn't, same with Kennen and Yasuo. You can't see Talon's, TF's, Shen's, or Jhin's. That leaves white hair on Kalista, Elise, Diana, Zilean, and Thresh. So... three without, five with, and four that you can't even see. This looks like a personal opinion on color palette masquerading as a legitimate criticism of design choices.

It's fine for what it is, and you might even think it's good if you're not a main. But as an Eve main waiting for 8 years for a skin over 750 quality, this skin is just nothing special and not what we were looking for. All it means is more waiting for us.

Maybe I'm not a main, but I've played her enough and I like it.

It's not really a "bad" skin, it's just plain and there's very little special about it. Now imagine whatever champion you main not having had a good skin for 4 years and having no skins over 750 whatsoever, and finally the big moment comes for a new skin and all you get is a random out of season skin that obviously didn't have as much care put into it as a lot of other skins released around it.

I'm not an Eve main but love playing her for years (all the way back to season 2) and this is a great skin.

Does anyone remember that Blood Moon Elise exists? Just compare these two skins and you'll see a lot of similarities.

I like the red hair a lot more. The kimono is boring imo but I like the skin.

I main Eve and I like what Riot is trying to do but they need a push in the right direction. Comparing the model to the splash art, shes missing a bracelet on her right arm, designs on the sash on her waist, and extra flowing parts of her dress on her shoulders. I think Riot needs to add these in to give the skin a better aesthetic. I also wish her skin wasn't as pale, because it honestly brings the colors on her lashers out too much. I just hope Riot listens to us, I've been waiting too long for her to get a skin. Evelynn

Riot actually said something about this recently. They said splashes take some artistic endeavors to make the character more real, so some elements will only exist in the splash.

For instance, the sleeves. In game, they're flush against her. If they do what you say, and give her sleeves flowing effects, they'd either have make it use clothing ragdoll or animate it independently. This can cause issues, because they have to make sure it doesn't clip her model when she moves or does any other animation. At the end of the day, going through so much programming and animation to make an honestly insignificant part of the skin "flowy" is just unnecessary, and probably not worth the effort it would add to the skin.

In regards to the sash, as a player, we won't be seeing this often, if at all. Given that the game is predominantly top-down, we don't see side views of characters or their waists. As small as the sash detail is, and the sheer lack of color pallet that it uses, it would be pretty unnoticeable in game. This isn't a big concern for the skin because it's a detail that players probably wouldn't ever see. Like Morgana's legs. Which she has, for the record. Players wouldn't even have known she had legs if there wasn't a glitch a few years back that made her knees clip through the front of her dress.

As for the bracelet, I got nothing on that. The skin has the hands as red, and half demon. Maybe the bracelet isn't there because it's a gift from the man she discarded?

Not changing the skin will be terrible for evelynn what i have seen is that alot of people wont buy it.so you sem to be in the minority here

OleandervineApr 23, 20181 votes

He's in the vocal minority yes. But you have to remember, Blood Moon by default is a popular skin line. You also have to remember that people who LIKE things typically do not take to the internet to start an angry mob out of love. It's probably safer to say that there will be tons more people who like the skin than don't like it.

ThunderSkelettApr 23, 20181 votes

But there are also tons of people who don't like it we don't know the numbers so we can just asume.

OleandervineApr 23, 20183 votes

That's my point. You can't say "people won't buy it" since you don't really know the numbers, and you can't say someone is in a minority for those same reasons. There's a vocal majority here and a vocal minority, and the vocal majority doesn't like it. However, as I said, on the internet, people flock to it to gripe and complain more often than give praise, so the vocal majority is a skewed representation.

HOLY SHIT REVERT TO THE ORIGINAL LOOK WITH THE BLUE ACCENT THIS NEW BLACK LOOK IS SOOOO BAD

ZedUsanGovosApr 23, 20181 votes

Talon has red hair. On his model, we can see some Knuckles looking hair.

The link I originally posted is fucked, but just check out http://www.lolking.net/models?champion=91&skin=5 instead.

KrigjerApr 23, 20181 votes

Without going into any deep detail... At a glance, Blood Moon mimics Tango to me. I wouldn't buy it for that reason.

I think she should have gotten a different skinline. That's my opinion though.

I illustrateApr 23, 20181 votes

"At a glance" pleaseee! As someone who owns all of her skins and has watched the bm eve spotlight multiple times, I assure you they don't look similar

KrigjerApr 23, 20181 votes

That's my opinion though.

You can respect that or not, but it's not changing.

SukishooApr 23, 20181 votes

You can't see Talon's

Sorry, what? You can clearly see Talon's and his is Red.

My bad, to me the splash looked like it was part of a full helmet. Further reinforces the point that not every Blood Moon champ has to have white hair.
