Jailbreak Graves' new textures feedback and request
In the most recent patch, Jailbreak Graves had a texture update. I originally purchased Jailbreak Graves because I absolutely loved the skin, it looked 10 times better than Mafia Graves to me, it was gritty, dark, with amazing looking contrast with the lighting off his shoulder, you could see gleam from his shoulder lamp onto his face, providing a cosmetically amazing look on his character compared to the dynamics of the shadows on his model. I loved it because I felt it accurately portrayed and reflected his character and was exceptionally aesthetically pleasing. However, what I paid for back then is not what it is now. The new textures just look too bright, flat, textureless, pale, and uninspired. His hair is now light blue, which looks very very weird, compared to the blacker hair that he should have. I seriously question the design decision to make Graves' hair a very light blue.

As you can see in this picture, the shadows and light contrast has been nerfed down very significantly, making the model look much less unique and much more plain and flat, and made Graves look like a bright and shiny character. Graves of all people, is not a bright and shiny character, and nor should he look it. He is a gritty cowboy. Furthermore, you can see that it looks like the detail on Graves' boots was completely removed and made to look flat. If you look closely, the texture is still there, but the bright lightning makes it look non-existent, a fact which generally holds true for the rest of Graves' model. Note that this picture does NOT show the old Graves' back, which is also very important as the flag on his back had more detail and had much better lighting effects. The back of the character used to look just as incredible as the front. The new textures look very blurry, and not very sharp at all.
I request that Riot either continues to make changes to Jailbreak Graves' model, and restores Jailbreak Graves' old shadows to the same effect, changes Graves' previous hair color back to what it used to be, restores Graves' gun, and keeps the model to what it should be while still maintaining an overall improvement to his look.
If Riot is not prepared to continue making changes to Jailbreak Graves' model, then I request that the texture update on that model be scrapped next patch and his old textures be returned.
If Riot is neither prepared to continue to work on the model, and nor prepared to scrap the texture update, then I request that a Rioter or someone else provide me with the old texture pack that I can download and install so that I may personally enjoy his old look again, even if everyone else won't see it and doesn't care about a skin that is constantly overshadowed by the more popular Mafia Graves. My feelings are fervent that my main adc, with his Jailbreak model that I use exclusively, retains its image one way or another.
