What Exactly do People Dislike about New Feral WW?

I don't own the skin so I don't exactly remember what he looked like before, but I've seen a lot of complaints about the reworked skin. What exactly do people dislike about it? I thought personally it looks nice but I never owned it. I thought the muzzle he has on kinda contributes to the feral "theme" but I wanted to get actual skin owners' opinions on it.

Not a bashing thread or anything like that, just curious. Maybe riot will change some details on it if they see how many people dislike it.

We all know vladimir isn't a vampire, but he sure does have a lot of vampire inspired skins, for good reason. Now imagine vlad is your favorite champ , you like vampires, riot decides to visual update your champ and they replace his vampire skins with some weird robot shit that nobody wanted.

Old feral warwick was basically for the people who like werewolves.

He had chains, now he has belt buckles. He had scars and arrows sticking out of him, now he has like 1 scar if you look hard enough. He had glowing yellow deranged looking eyes, now they are green. He's wearing a loin cloth, now he has shorts and some ripped sleeves.

I actually like the muzzle thing, but damn why replace his chains with 5 dollar leather belts.

https://static.lolwallpapers.net/2015/01/Feral-Warwick-Ch.jpg This is how he looked like before. The Feral theme was that he was an escaped werewolf or something. Broken chains and stuff. More like a wild animal.

I like it a lot. The old skin was kinda meh, and didn't differ terribly from his classic skin, other than the chains. The new one actually conveys "this is a fucking feral beast we tried to capture, muzzle, and lock up, but the bitch ate the muzzle, broke out, and ripped our faces off." I hope they don't alter it because I am really digging it.

I think the old splash art was one of the only things in the skin that striked me as feral- You could really see Warwick's maddened eyes and his blood-thirsty, savage expression there, in comparison to the old splash.

I think what people don't like is how Hextech/"techy" it looks like now.

I personally really like the new, very heavy--and-powerful-looking steel locks that are all over him, but also how he has still managed to break out of those chains and escape. He looks much more like the once-imprisoned, Feral beast he's supposed to be. It feels like he's most pissed off in this skin- Even more than classic Warwick.

People don't like it because its a huge disconnect from the original skin. Simple as that. People bought a beefed up, yellow eyed, cut up, dark fur, feral badass and now we get some chem implanted loonie bin escapee. Nothing looks the same. They couldn't even get the fur color right.

Riot completely went away from the source material and people are pissed.

I think the issue is more based around no one really liking the hextech augumented look and his only werewolf like skin is grey which isnt currently available. So everyone is trying to get feral to be more werewolf like.

I personally think that all of the Warwick skins look horrible compared to their old looks. =\

Probably some of the worst work riot has done in a while.
