Please, revert LeBlanc’s VFX and SFX!

Okay, so... just saw a discussion about potential LB skins on Discord and I just thought about a sad thing.

LeBlanc got reverted like 4 months ago, yet her particles and SFX got changed to be a uglier, brighter version of her old VFX. This is especially true for Ravenborn and Elderwood LeBlanc. Basically I paid 20€ worth of skins for something different compared to what we have now.

Take a look at the original Ravenborn LB spotlight. Well, it doesn’t even look like the same skin anymore. Her Q is now brighter, smaller and lost its unique SFX, and many of the skin’s SFX got removed for no reason at all and replaced with a mix of custom and base sound effects. Why? I rarely use this skin anymore because it isn’t satisfying and it’s just ugly compared to the OG Ravenborn LB, it was my favorite skin in the whole game and now I use it once per month just because I paid for it.

The same can be said for Elderwood LeBlanc, she lost her beautiful flower-VFX for her Q and it got replaced with a bright, mono-color flowery thing that’s a shittier version of the previous mark. And this skin lost some unique SFX too after her revert for no reason at all.

It’s not unique to skins though, even base VFX got “nerfed” with the revert, and while I agree that the new W and E effects are better than the old ones, her Q is just a worst version of the old mark which is 1) uglier, 2) brighter and harder to see so it goes against Riot’s “clarity policy”.

Tl;dr: I paid for high quality skins and the revert delivered some shitty, uglier effects for most of LB’s skins. Please revert all of her Q effects and sounds because right now they’re just trash.

August said a while back they wouldn’t because much like some if the old blood VFX on Rengar’s Q because those sound and VFX were outdated
