I was disappointed because I'm not in gold, and Graves was my go-to jungler

As the title says, when I first heard that Graves was this year's Victorious skin, I was disappointed. At the time of hearing about it, whenever I don't get Top lane (my primary role) and instead get Jungle (my secondary role) I always went Graves . No matter the matchup, or team (I eventually started playing Khazix in ranked more, since I had him M7, and dropped Graves , but for the sake of the post...).

However, when I saw Victorious Graves in game, I wasn't so disappointed! This skin looks terrible. This is not the quality of skin that Riot usually has had with their past Victorious skins. For example, look at Victorious Elise or Janna . Those are really nice looking skins. I wouldn't be surprised if they were released today as 975 skins or even 1350 skins. But this Graves one is pretty much a chroma of original Graves (with the Moo Moo Cow effect: for each chroma, a small part of the skin is changed. For example, the reason it's called the Moo Moo Cow effect is because, if you look at Moo Moo Cow Alistar chromas, the all have small changes to them. Like the milk, or the hood of the onsie. They're all different. Thus, profit). He has a tiger on his shoulder and a different recall. He's also purple.

THATS IT.

Just keep in mind that this is the same company that ditched Sewn Chaos Amumu and Blitzcrank because they were afraid they didn't meet quality standards of all skins. Those skins looked really nice (in my opinion). If you want a skin that no time was taken on, look at Super Kennen . I was (and may still be) a Kennen main, and at first I was hyped about my main getting a new skin, but then I bought it and it didn't look like much was changed. He got goggles and some cool hair, but that's about it. His W,E,R were the exact same. It didn't look that different from regular Kennen , if you ask me. It was an underwhelming skin, and was priced correctly at 750 RP (too much if you ask me).

Anyways, back to Graves . Riot, I realize that you've probably been spending all your time on those hyped as hell Blitzcrank skins. But please. Either completely scrap the Graves skin and give all the players who got Gold+ this season RP, or fix ya shit.

And why aren't there even any whispers of who might get the next ultimate skin? Personally, I think It'll be Vladimir . He's been getting ignored by Rito recently. I feel like they have something in store for him.

Only Chocolate and Strawberry Cow were worth anything.
