The same skin theme, very different qualities!

I was taking a look at the champion, to see what skins I had, when I realized that the skin '' Galatic Nasus '' & ''Galatic Azir '' are part of the same skin theme, but the Azir skin has a very superior to the Nasus skin, not only in splash art but also in the game and is not the only theme where this happens, in the skins_ Hextech_, where we have the skins of Annie and Gallio on the side of good skins and skins Janna Singed And Anivia on the opposite side. And this has nothing to do with the price of each one, because, for example, the skin '' Warring Kingdoms Tryndamare '' left by 975 RP 4 years ago and less than a year was launched the skin '' Warring Kingdoms Garen '' For 1350 RP, however the skins are of the same quality (in my view) but they do not have the same prices. I think some skins should be adjusted, do not you think Riot?

Well you are comparing very old things to new things so of course they gonna be very different Example: Hextech Janna Singed and Anivia are very old skins and the idea of Hextech was much different looking back then. Annie and Galio's are very recent so thats why they look better

This. Those other hextech skins are extremely old, like released within the first season if I'm not mistaken. Hextech Galio was on the same level as them before he got updated, as hextech Annie set a new theme of effects for the skin line.

The quality of skins has of course, increased drastically over time. Not even ultimate skins are immune to aging, if you look at the case with Pulsefire Ezreal. It, however, was only updated because of its tier.

I understand that the skins have "aged", however it is frightening the difference that have, for example, the splash arts on the loading screen, if we compare skins of the same theme, like the Galactic Nasus and Azir, but the qualities are drastically many different.

It's already been explained why, but if you look at some older skins like Bladecraft Orianna for example, I remember thinking it was actually a pretty cool splash art back when it was released and League in general had its own recognizable artstyle. But now, however, there's no way they'd ever release a splash art like that and if they did, they'd receive harsh criticism, because the standards and quality of artistic quality they release has improved, drastically.

Yes you're right, however, I did the comparison of the skins of Tryndamare and Garen that have close to 4 years of difference, however both are with good quality!

Tryn's is a skin that has aged very well compared to others

But if we look at Tryndamere's Warring Kingdoms skin and compare it to Garen's, there's not that much difference in quality.

The skins will be updated when the champion receives a VGU. Other than that only very light tweaks will be made to skins, such as the update to Star Guardian Lux and the Pentakill skin line.

As others said, there's obvious time gaps between skins and quality.
