@Riot , My thoughts and questions on Sion's new skin.

Riot, I think this skin is beyond amazing, with all the effects and VO. But I feel like there could be some stuff done, so here are some questions:

1.) Is it possible for you guys to make Sion's eyes and passive red, instead of blue? I feel like a robot that is about to explode shouldn't have such a "cool" hue of blue, and more of a "dangerous" hue of red. Also a little bit deceptive that his eyes are red in the splash, but blue in-game.

2.)Is it just us, or does this skin have less lines than normal sion? If so, is it possible that he can get more lines, or would that cost too much to get Scott McNeil to do any more lines? It's just that he kind of repeats himself after a while, and I've only seen videos on his total amount of quotes to be 10 minutes, while his original is 13.

3.)For his death animation, would it be possible for him to actually make an explosion, instead of him looking like someone pulled a piece off a lego set forcefully? It looks really weird when he dies, and is probably the thing I dont like about the skin the most.

Please leave your thoughts below and tell me what you think. Also if none of these ideas are possible, can you tell me why is it so?

Thank you.

EDIT: My second question has been answered(Thank you Vonderhamz), is there anybody that can answer questions #1 or 3?

I can field # 2 - He's actually got more lines, but the first day or two on the PBE there were about half the lines you will actually get with the skin that were playing. I think theres around 40 move lines and 30 attack lines to start. You were hearing less than half of those. They should be all fixed now. He's also got a crazy amount of secret interactions. Those skin spotlight videos actually missed quite a few of them believe it or not. I'll leave it to you guys to figure out what they are though :)
