Reminder that Bloodstone Taric is too Pink

A while ago I made a thread about this issue. It got a lot of support: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/qTseQQe1-bloodstone-taric-is-too-pink

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have caught Riot's attention like the V-neck thread has and it's starting to loose visibility on this board. So let's try again:

This is closer to what I have in mind: http://oi68.tinypic.com/2hydiye.jpg http://oi68.tinypic.com/nc1jpg.jpg Here the original to compare: https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IwZrenZLrVs/VwQDDnfuRxI/AAAAAAAA5es/eKgmtZ25hpcV64NVVUXjKVV6oXewxgCKA/s640/Taric_Splash_3.jpg https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-03Qlci8c6aQ/VwQi7zafWpI/AAAAAAAANEY/WrRuU21ktzsVyazN1g48MWtWiK_UFy8pA/s640/taric3turn.jpg

I agree, he should be in line with Lissandra's Bloodstone color, this is too pink

I like what you proposed. Better than the overly pink color tone that riot already has a skin for. That one even comes with leg warmers.

Pink lemonade colored taric is more accurate.

Commented on the other thread, agree with this again.

Indeed, it's too pink.

Agreed. Needs more Ruby.

ImmortalBloodCY4/19/2016, 4:28:04 AM3 votes

Agreed its still way too pink/purple.

Dude, that's rad.

In my opinion, this is the next in a long line of making the best skin pre-rework/VU into the worst skin post-rework/VU.

Rugged Garen Warmonger Sion Scarlet Hammer Poppy Headmistress Fiora Surgeon Shen Firefighter Tristana

All of these were the best/coolest skins for their respective champs (except Shen after bloodmoon came out), but after the rework they looks the worst out of all of the skins. I almost feel like they intentionally give the best looking (and thereby probably best-selling) skins less attention during reworks because they have already made a bunch of money on them and they want the best skins to stop crowding out the rest of them.

Dont know why they didnt stick with the red from the old skin. Making the gems pink makes no sense considering Lissandras skin is red and the name being "blood" stone

Magenta is pretty, but bloodstone should be red.

GaleWinUnleashed4/19/2016, 12:20:25 AM3 votes

Personally I think your change is just a bit too dark. I do agree that the current color is much too pink, but I also believe yours goes slightly too far. Perhaps two thirds of the difference between the two? Mostly your shade of red, just not all the way.

Red one is 10x more BA

The bloodstone lissandra is definitely more pink than your version but less pink than original version. So, I think your version as i said before is too "hot" or fiery. If anything it should be more inbetween or just left with the original.

I prefer the pinkier version.

Gives a more undead/demonic kind of vibe.

Oh wow. That isn't red. We've already got pink Taric, it should definitely be Crimson. (The color of blood, not coincidentally.)

Iron Sight174/18/2016, 11:11:29 PM1 votes

its still a step up from the present gimmick of Taric

Tbh I think bloodstone looks ridiculous in general, he has the favio look but he's got goth colors, the pink sheen gives him a bit more nuance. Though I'm not the target audience of the skin, I enjoy skins like the darkknight nasus/garen as well as rageblade trynd. I think it should probably be something inbetween since the theme is obviously going to be based around red and the lighting does make it look straight pink, tho I don't think it should be changed all that much to go for the right look. Just some darker tints to make it look like a deep blood and keep the shine.

I have know idea why they haven't gave these posts attention. I mean, really... Hello...
