The New Blackthorn Morgana is a Huge Downgrade and it NEEDS to be Fixed

While this has been mentioned before, I feel that this issue is not garnering nearly as much exposure as the changes to Aether Wing Kayle and MUST be looked at by Riot. This doesn't just affect those that already have the skin, but all those that might wanna purchase it in the future.

While the new Aether Wing Kayle is a stylistic change from the old, the quality of the skin is still high, on par with skins like GGMF and PFE.

The new Blackthorn Morgana is just straight up WORSE in every way from her old in game skin, and at this rate I rather she not get any VU. There are 3 HUGE things missing from the new Blackthorn Morgana that just hurt its overall aesthetic immensely.

1 - The Standing + Walking Animation no Longer has Leaves Falling Behind Morgana

In the old Morgana skin, when you moved, you would leave behind a trail of falling leaves from your wings (we'll mention the wings later). When you stand you constantly have these leaves falling around you. This works with her aesthetic of being part Blackthorn herself, as though she is part tree for lack of a better term, with the leave falling from her wilting branch wings. Just look at this old skin spotlight of her and pay attention to her walking and standing animation. Now compare it to the new Morgana and you notice that the falling leaves are gone, both while standing and walking.

2 - Her Wings No Longer Look Like Branches With Leaves and as a Whole Look Worse

Her new wings look like hot garbage, lets be real here. Old Morgana's wings legitimately looked like branches with leaves on them. If you look at this screenshot of her you can see how detailed and intricate the wings are. You can see individual leaves on her and again it does well to accent her "part tree" aesthetic.

Look at this screenshot of new Morgana. Not only do her wings no longer look like branches at all, the actual skin portion of the wings don't even look like leaves anymore, it just looks like some shitty gradient they added to make it look like autumn leaves, but as a whole it looks almost like one whole piece.

3 - Her Dress Went From Being Part of Her and Alive to a Piece of Cloth with Branches Glued on

Last, but certainly not least is her dress. If you look at the previous screenshot of old Blackthorn Morgana, the roots on her dress were clearly the main focal point of the whole thing. They gave her this image of being rooted to the ground as though they were sprouting straight from Morgana, once again tying it all to the whole aesthetic she had. Not only that, but in game the roots move independently, as though they are alive and are more than just decoration.

Looking at new Morgana's screenshot, the roots take up maybe 1/3 of her whole dress and making it look like Morgana is just wearing a dress of some high fashion designer with some roots glued on as accents instead of having it look like the roots are part of her themselves.

Also, the new roots have no thorns on them. How could you have no thorns on a skin called BlackTHORN Morgana?

I love Morgana, and I love this skin and with how well Riot has done with VGU's recently I was super excited for the Morgana rework, but this NEEDS to be changed. I am DREADING the changes because you are turning Blackthorn Morgana from something unique to her just wearing a dress that is tree inspired with nothing interesting or intricate at all.

Make Blackthorn Morgana great again!
