Blood Moon Kalista, Thresh, and Elise literally made my heart flinch

As some of you may know, there apparently seems to be a few new Blood Moon skins following Blood Moon Kalista. And I have to say, as an Ex-Akali main (Tired of all the people whining"Akali OP"), these skins actually stopped my heart.

LOOK AT THAT THRESH R AND ELISE Q! Those friggin awesomesauce particles and effects are what 975RP skins should deserve. Akali and Shen, being old champions and having old skins, obviously don't get these eye-blindingly awesome particles. And I'm sure I'm not the first to complain about this either, but I just feel ....cheated. Of course, Riot's a damn great company and definitely the hardest working I've ever seen. But there are currently 122 champions in the League, and a buttload more of outdated skins. Blood Moon Akali and Shen basically just had an outfit change and kept the same old particles. **This makes me envious. **item 3070

This definitely will sound salty and selfish to some fellow players, but one day when your absolute favorite skin gets completely crushed and outshined by another new skin of the same price and the same , you'll know what I'm talking about.

And this doesn't just apply to Akali and Shen, think Victorious J4 vs Victorious Morgana.

And yeah, the massive texture update shows how much Riot cares about the aesthetics and the up-to-date-ness of the champions. I really do appreciate the time and effort Riot has put into the graphics. But maybe consider doing the same with the skins?

TL;DR: Some of the older skins need updates.

P.S: The new Rift looks absolutely stunning

So youd like it if they actually wanted more money for their skins if they have new shiny particles?

The thing is riot rarely reduces the price of some skins. However their skin quality does increase...a lot. Just compare gentleman cho'gath and Battlecast cho'gath prime,2 legendary skins for the same champ,but battlecast cho has a much better quality.

Nowadays it is much more common for new skins to have new particles/voice-over(or at least voice-filter)/animations,despite these skins having a similar price as before. If a champion gets a VU,they will most likely try to bring their skins to the current standard of their respective price class though,if not even more(just look at phantom karthus compared to the original one)

I don't really see what they can do to make Blood Moon Shen look better, maybe change what he throws with Q and that's literally all they can do
