What is your hope for the update of Ezreal's skins?

Ezreal has a LOT of skins and about half of them will likely be modified to match his new look while the other half will get a completely updated or new look Riot can't please everyone when they update old skins for vgus but hopefully they'll keep or improve what makes people like ezreals old skins

I hope Frozen Ezreal gets the actual Iceborn Gauntlet

I expect they’ll make Frosted Ezreal into a Freljord Ezreal skin, decked out in furs and cross-stitched Celtic-inspired clothing.

I feel like Nottingham can be put in the Woad skinline maybe?

Don't forget the TPA skin, Bebe defeated the koreans with that champ on Season 2.

All i hope is that explorer ezreal looks the same but polished. That skin is perfect aside from the animation where he takes his glasses off of his head but he's just grabbing air.

I hope he gets a lot more grit. His half Anime/Half Boyish Charm thing creeps me out. If nothing else, Frozen Ezreal should look like Shackleton.

And I don't remember if they're also giving him some new lore, but I'd love to have him appear with a jilted explorer vibe.

I want to see SG Quinn pulling Ezreal by a leash like MF did.

I just hope Frosted and Nottingham update into something better than "Blue hoodie/Green hoodie Ezreal". They are barely even recolors of his base skin. I don't mind him keeping his blond hair in skins, but when you barely change anything else, I'm left with saying the far inferior white/frosty hair is the better skin just because it changes more.

I like the idea of Nottingham becoming more medieval, like he gets a green cloak and hat typical of the "Robin Hood" aesthetic. As you said, he could fit in with the "Rift Quest" skins as a ranger similar to Varus'.

Frosted they will most likely go the "ice skin" direction. At least this time no Frost Butt fiascos since Frosted is not nearly so beloved. I expect fur collars and winter coats, maybe in the vein of a Winter Wonder skin. Or, if they want, they can go more "Blackfrost Anivia/Lissandra" direction, as if Ezreal explored the Freljord a little too carelessly and ended up Frosted.

I really liked All-Star Akali's new look/splash, so I'm sure Ez is getting the same treatment.

Pulsefire is going to set a precedent as well: how much is Riot going to put into updating these Ultimate skins? It has to not only update the visuals, but also go above and beyond even a modern-looking Ezreal. Back when it first came out, changing forms through the game was special, but these days...they have their work cut out for them.

Arcade and Star Guardian already look pretty good, just need the animations and base model treatment to match his new look. Same with Debonair: its a simple skin with style, and I like it. Also RIP skins team, they JUST released SSG Ez.

And for the love of Aurelion Smol, please make Ace of Spades better! What a terrible skin...they attempted to go for this princely look, which has potential, but it just doesn't work here. Most of the "Card" skins are bad.
