What are YOUR thoughts on the new chroma packs? You can find them here: http://www.surrenderat20.net/p/current-pbe-balance-changes.html#chroma

My thoughts:

Caitlyn looks alright. The 3 next to each other look kinda silly but when I look at each on its own they're nice. The pink doesn't feel very 'Caitlyn' to me and I'm not sure I like the color of her hair in that one but they're all 'decent' or better IMO.

Darius looks amazing! One of the best chroma packs so far! Not much to say about it because... well it's just already so good.

Morgana looks pretty good. I like Pale and Ebony a lot though maybe a slightly different shade for Pale's hair color would be better. Toxic though I'm not so fond of. It's not awful but the lighter greens on it (hair, parts of the wings, upper skirt) seem off. Also I'd just much rather have a blue or red look than green. Overall I feel all 3 are a little tame as well. Each really has only 2 colors (besides her skin) and the second color (the thin parts of her skirt) could use colors that contrast the rest of her better and thus stand out. Lee Sin and Darius are the best examples of what Morgana's pack is missing but COULD have, more variety and more 'pop.'

Tristana looks decent. Not the best skin for a pack in my opinion but I imagine the choice has to do with its popularity more than chroma pack potential. The Navy looks pretty good. Purple seems meh, the outfit clashes with the hair. Orange is... actually red? At least on my screen... Whatever, looks good. Reminds me of the Ghost Busters outfit.

Zac.... oh boy! I'm really glad they chose Zac so soon, so that's great. But.... REALLY?! Orange AND Honey? -_- I feel like it should be obvious to enough people at Riot why that's not a good idea for this to never happen to begin with. The Orange one looks better in my opinion (though it looks more like actual honey than the Honey one on my screen) so I suggest keeping that. The Bubblegum one is alright though I'm generally not a big fan of pink personally but whatever. Any of you have a good idea for what to replace the Honey (or Orange if you like the Honey one better) with? Keep in mind readability of his abilities when on LoL maps. I'm thinking a just dark enough red (like cherry red) would be far enough from the Bubblegum and his Secret Weapon skins to feel really different and I'm generally a fan of the color red.

What I am curious about is how they are gonna handle caitlyns chromas if she gets a vu. I remember ironstylus talking about the VU a long time ago(obviously it was put on hold for quite some time,but they'll eventually pick it up again) and the general idea was to drastically change caitlyns outfit(except for the hat,that would stay) and maybe give out a traditional skin for her.

If they went through with this,would the chroma be used for the classic skin or for the traditional one?

Just some thoughts about this....
