Think about a little frighteningly sewn together toy that scares people away from it, but really all it wants it to be hugged and loved and given a chance. I mean doesn't that seriously fit Amumu to a T? I couldn't care less about Blitzcrank but this seemed like a great skin for Mumu :<
midnight oil244 votesI just want new particles for it. It still has the Egyptian theme for the ult and it's just so out of place. And the crying could be something like thread spilling out of him.

Yes sure but it just needed to be updated, not outright cancelled. The problem wasn't that it existed, just that it needed more tweaking.
midnight oil241 votesWait, it got canceled?

Yes, Blitzcrank and Amumu skins are NOT releasing due to negative criticism. Riot announced this last night here: http://boards.pbe.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/general-pbe-feedback/qnK0MB8Q-update-on-sewn-chaos It's such a shame in my opinion. These skins are not bad, and because of the vocal minority they will never be available for purchase. Ruined it for the rest of the community that was actually looking forward to these skins.
midnight oil242 votesI loved the designs of them, i just felt that their particles could be better. That's no reason to cancel them.
A Liberal3 votesIt's stupid because the community complains about so much but they never cancel anything, why does this count?

I know, right? :( I never call for them to take down any skins because even if a particular skin might not be for me, that doesn't mean someone else won't like it.
Awoof3 votesI didn't even see that many noticeable complains about it...
ModAcademy Kayn1 votesWhen has Riot ever listened to a Vocal minority? And, if that is your reasoning, how do you know that the majority did like it? Did you see posts on the board saying it was good? If that's the case, how come that isn't the vocal minority?
Keep in mind the Pareto Principle (aka the 20-80 rule), where in many cases, 80% of an effect, comes from 20% of a cause. It's just as plausible that 80% of the good things you've seen people hear/say about the skins, may come from 20% of the community, as it's just as likely that it's the other way around.
A Liberal3 votesKind of bummed.... the Amumu skin was really great... The blitz skin was ugly but w/e.
EROTIC RAID BOSS3 votesI agree, I thought for amumu it looked like a pretty nice skin. bizarre that theyd have literally all the work done and then cancel these 2 skins. even if you felt they weren't your best work, is it really hurting anything to put them out there? hell if you felt strongly they weren't as good as other recent 750 skins they could've been sold at a lower price
Oleandervine2 votesI thought the Amumu was insanely cute. I love the ring of thread in his foot.
But I do agree. The particles needed more work. They looked cheap. The model did not.
GigglesO2 votestbh I thought the theme was great, execution was poor... skin was ugly af...
dEAdbUs2 votesSewn Amumu was looking great, and I was about to make him my fav skin. Still confused why Riot decided to remove him.
Ralanr1 votesThe particles were left to be desired imo.
