@Riot, Aviator Irelia's blades feel a bit underwhelming compared to other skins' blades

I can't really shake the feeling that Aviator Irelia's blades feel kind of meh compared to the blades of the other Irelia skins. I understand perfectly that you can't have any fancy design choices for a propeller, which Aviator's blades are modeled after, and you're already pushing it a bit since the shape is more definitely more blade-like than a normal propeller. But the problem seems to lie more with the colors than the blades' shape.

Below are the blades of every Irelia sans Aviator:

And here's Aviator's:

The difference seems quite noticeable. Every other Irelia blade seems to stand out very clearly to the viewer as a result of their bright, noticeable colors. Even Nightblade's dark blades stand out as a result of the lighter shade of the blade's edge. Contrast with Aviator's, whose dull colors along the edges make it fail to really stand out and seem less defined, almost making it feel small compared to other blades. If a Rioter sees this, do you feel the same way? If so, do you have a solution in mind, and if not, can you explain your perspective?
