Skin Needing Visual Update or Something

Ruurei·Sep 20, 2016·20 votes·4,767 views

I really feel Sona's Arcade in game skin needs updated. She's the dullest in color compared to the rest of the arcade skins, and she is the ONLY arcade skin without a special back. Basically, what I am saying is compared to all of the other Arcade skins, Sona's looks dirty. Like she took a bath in dirt, and then decided to join everyone on the rift anyways. Don't get me wrong, she has some bright colors like her hair and some of the buttons on her "keyboard." However, that doesn't take out the fact that her dress and on look very dirty in comparison to the other skins. Or at least, that's just my opinion.

For visual comparison: Hecarim Miss Fortune Ahri Ezreal Corki Riven Sona

I made a post about the same thing and basically got told to grab a ticket and get in line, but I still stand by the fact that Arcade Sona isn't even worth 1350rp. Sweetheart Sona has a unique (and in my opinion pretty awesome) recall and is 975rp, so I see no reason why they shouldn't at least update it to the current price point standard.

I'd think it was a 750 skin tbh

It just doesn't look good imo

Yeah I know the cost (I own all of Sona's skin as I am an X-Sona Main) but I rarely used it because it just doesn't look as pleasing as the others.

I misread your comment, my bad. xD

I've noticed that too, I have the Arcade Sona skin and it really could use an update. She's really dull compared to the arcades, for obvious reasons, but I don't think she should have to stay that way.

It is a fate destined to happen to the first skin of a line, out classed by all others

Oh no, a skin that is old and made before the line was fully realized is looking out of date. Quick, everyone drop what you're doing and fix this monstrosity.

I made the post because Star Guardian Lux got texture updates before Arcade Sona did because of the new Star Guardian Skins. If they're really going to update skins like that, they should do the same for other skin series.

Star Guardian Lux got an update with an entire batch of skins and was hardly an update. They darkened her hair a tad and darkened her skirt. The Arcade skins haven't been added in as a bunch until the last three (Ahri, Corki, and Ezreal), and was hardly as big as a spectacle as we're getting with the Star Guardians.

If they're going to update skins like that, they should do the same for other series

They updated Lux since the Star Guardian skins are more linked to each other than Arcade is. When Star Guardians all have the matching theme of Star Guardian, the Arcade Line is much more mix-matched. Everyone has something different than the other in turns of costume, with the general theme of retro gaming.

Finally, people need to stop applying today's Skin quality standards as they were back then. Yeah, we get that they're not worth the price tag, but so freaking what. The Skin was made during a time where players were fine with what they got for that price, and what we really have are people in today's time wanting today's standard applied to old skins. They're old, we get it, but it doesn't immediately qualify them for an update.

Don't forget the awesome homeguard's animation they added to her as well to keep her in line with the other SG skins. Arcade Sona doesn't even have a recall animation...

I think the only real change that it needs would be to take the rainbow style that is on Hecarim and put it on to Sona. The rainbows are bland, so add the color that hecarim has to it and it'll be fine.
