Highnoon Ashe VO needs to lose the echo/over filter.

The skin has some really cool stuff! That recall and homeguard animation are incredible. A little disappointed she doesn't have a stronger accent, and I'm not terribly impressed with the voice acting but the VO is overall good. The filter though, that echo that makes it sound like she was too far from the recording mic or something, really needs to go. It just sounds like they used a cheap mic.

It doesn't help to sell that she's angelic nor that she's an automaton. Honestly its silly to even say she's an automaton when they made her look completely human and pretty, just commit to being a person if your going to do that. But anyways, that filter really makes it sound like a low quality VO.

You know it doesn't even make real sense from it being she's an automaton which is why her voice is different since Urgot or at least Jhin sound the same as they normally do.

Unfortunately they probably don't have the unaltered audio

she sounds like she's speaking with a cup on her mouth but the accent and politeness sold me

I agree, the huge echo is annoying to hear on the long run.

It just doesn't sound like the voice is coming from ashe. Its just overhead.

my first impression was that the art/design teams and the people who made the actual lore of the skin were disconnected entirely

"alright she's supposed to be a robot, but like, also angelic, you dig?"

"uhh, shit, we uh, already made the model once you said 'high noon ashe', here"

"the deadline is in 3 days we need to ship it, dude"

"ehh, we could... put some metal on her face, and maybe... make it yellow-white tinted. oh! and add an echo to her VO, gimmie like 30 seconds in audacity"

"perfect"

the transformation on ult is a neat idea but to me the way it looks disconnects the robot-angel thing even more. coulda been great, turned out to just be, another 2019 legendary

O.o It's not that bad, it's an angel using a robotic body as a host, so it makes sense.

Riot never does anything right. And worst, they really don't care about most feedback.

The skin as a splash looks great like all skins do, but once they hit PBE they look awful and nothing like the splash.

I love the art studio at Riot but man this is so crap and deceiving on their part.

Ill just buy poster instead of a skin, this is so painful to see.
