Slay Belle Katarina can be a good skin, but Candy Cane Miss Fortune can't

This is straigh up facts. For the same price, same theme and same type (legacy skin)

Candy Cane Miss Fortune is just downright inferior compared to Slay Belle Katarina

As a suggestion, turning her cannon balls to snow balls would have partially done the trick

As someone who wants to play Old Saint Zilean with my duo Candy Cane Miss Fortune This feels rather un-rewarding to buy these skins

(Old Saint Zilean is also inferior compared to other 520 RP skins, but that's another story for another time) Zilean item 2052

Miss Forunte skin release 2010

Katarina skin release 2012

So yeah there's a bit of a time gap here, so of course, MF would have a bit less on her skin. Plus it was before the time when they defined what they would try to have in each skin https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201752874-Guide-to-Skin-Price-Tiers

You are correct

According to this Candy Cane Miss Fortune could be elligible to get the same features as Slay Belle Katarina

Features like :

  • new visual effects
  • new animations
  • new sounds

I'm still sad the skin potential isn't even pushed further than : "white re-colored canon balls"

In case you haven't noticed, MF had a VGU in 2015.

Yes, but that has nothing to do with it. They didn't add anything special to it even then.

Sexy Jack Rabbit2 votes

To be fair they did a shit job.

Sraeg20131 votes

That I'll not disagree with.

Remember that Katarina used to strip dance with the pole and they changed it.

you say that as if you're expecting anything quality from old league of legends. contrary to what nostalgiababies will tell you, old league of legends was garbage.

Necrozard1 votes

Simply re-colored abilites for 520 RP existed also in the old league of legends

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/293500383769133056/343049484629966870/image.png Underwhelming skin

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/293500383769133056/343049519962914836/image.png Good skin

Some old skins can be better than newer ones https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/293500383769133056/343056897672347648/image.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/293500383769133056/343057390364655618/image.png

I don't think "old league of legends was garbage" It was just old Zilean

This is important.

Necrozard2 votes

It definitly is, it really wanted to make a duo-skin themed with Christmas But the skins don't feel good enough [zombie-nunu-tears]

ModAcademy Kayn2 votes

MF's skin is a much older skin made from different quality levels. They really don't need to do anything.

Necrozard1 votes

For the same price and theme, i find it sad that she would stay in that state

But yeah :/

ModAcademy Kayn2 votes

That's not the point. You're saying they're obligated to update her because their quality of skins have gone up over the years, using Kat's skin as an example. It's an older skin, that abides by older principles, so you can't hold today's standards to it.

Necrozard2 votes

I don't think they're obligated to do this

But yes i would love to see it happen

That's why i was raising awareness about it

Sraeg20131 votes

Yer forgettin' MF got a VGU in 2015.

ModAcademy Kayn2 votes

Yeah, which tidied up a lot of the skins and their particles, but didn't make any changes to VFX.

Sexy Jack Rabbit3 votes

TIL Particles aren't VFX apparently.

ModAcademy Kayn2 votes

They made them look nice and up to date, they didn't make/significantly change into new ones.

Sexy Jack Rabbit2 votes

'Moderate' Model changes doesn't actually mean much.

Star Guardian Poppy in all it's glory only has "Moderate" model changes because they re-used the same pigtails she has in every skin.

Candy Cane MF has a completely brand new model except for her hair.
