@Skins Team, Next Years Heartseeker skins

Just a message since it's about 6 or 7 months till Valentines day.

Can you NOT try and make next years skins "classy" like you did with this years? I really like the heartseeker line, but you absolutely dropped the ball hardcore this year with Quinn's and Lucians.

Lucian's was SO boring, there is NOTHING interesting about a dude in a pink suit. It was a boring and lame skin with so little inspiration behind it. Not too mention god ugly.

Quinn was a fucking train wreck from the beginning. The theme was so unbefitting her, but even then you didn't even consider how it would translate in-game. So many things were wrong with it. From the design, to the colour scheme, to the textures. I swear the team just saw that one concept art by Zeronis and said "Fuck it, ship it and let's go home"

Then you had to do a shitty job patchwork job to try and fix the skin when people hated it for obvious reasons.

Fuck Classy. Keep the Heartseeker skinline sexy, flamboyant and gaudy af like you did in the past. Heartseeker Ashe, Orianna, Varus were all great skins. Go back to that formula of making HS skins, because I do not want a repeat of this years horrible trainwreck.

I honestly hope they go with Heartseeker Xayah and Rakan . I think it can be pulled off pretty well and the theme works with them.

Honestly, Zeronis' Heartseeker Quinn concept is amazing, it just wasn't implemented very well in game :( Add that to the fact that Quinn's animations make it really hard to give her a nice, elegant skin.

I think the main issue is less about whether next years' skins should be classy, and more about finding the right characters to sport the theme. Some champions simply won't look good as lovey-dovey cupids or Valentine's Day heralds, even if they may seem like promising concepts in 2D. A champion like Kalista for example probably wouldn't do the Heartseeker theme justice, regardless if she's wearing flowing robes or a low-crop top. She faces a similar issue to Quinn where, even though Heartseeker may seem like a good fit on paper (her spears can be roses and her sentinel can be a dove), her animations just don't lend themselves well to the aesthetic (she's almost always hunched over).

How is it unbefitting of Quinn but okay for Ashe?

I'm 90 percent sure we're gonna get Heartseeker Xayah and Rakan. Or Tango skins for them. They already dance with eachother.
