Commando Lux Splash & Skin Update/Rework?

Shirvallah··7 votes·13,165 views

Hello :)

Accidentally posted this in the wrong sub-forum initially!

ANYWAYS...

I was looking through the skins I owned and got to thinking... Is it possible that Lux's Commando splash and skin would ever be updated and completely reworked like Galio's? I thoroughly enjoy Galio's and wish Lux's looked even half as good as his. I own every Lux skin except that one because I can't find it in me to pay for a Lux skin that I think is outright hideous and that doesn't fit our Lady of Luminosity. I know I'd never use it as it currently is, ever. I'd even be willing to pay the full original price if it were redone.

For the sake of comparison, here's Lux's splash and skin versus Galio's:

Commando Lux is specifically the only Lux skin I'll play because it's full derp. There's something oddly satisfying in imagining the other team getting to the loading screen and thinking "THAT IS THE SKIN HE PICKED?!"

Psychological warfare.

That being said, Galio's Commando skin update makes it easily one of the top 10 skins in the game for me, in terms of just awesomeness. Too bad I don't play that big ol stone bro.

I use the Imperial Lux skin for that reason. I call it my McDonald's Lux skin. xD

Call me obnoxious, but I swear, just about every game I play with that skin, I always find some odd sense of enjoyment in typing in all caps in /all chat at the beginning of the game, "WELCOME TO MCDONALD'S!" Then, the enemies get all confused, and they overthink why I said that and can't focus on the game. Then, I win with my favorite Lady of Lasers.

SPECIAL TACTICS. >:D

Anyhoot, TBH, I probably wouldn't have bought it if I didn't get it in my Hextech chest. The textures aren't too shabby (which is why I gave the skin a chance in the first place). Though, they could use some love, too.

Also, yeah, I definitely agree on the updated Galio. The art team outdid themselves with that one. Amazing! :)

Also the general skin, I forgot what it's called but the art looks fairly old.

Yes, I agree. The Imperial skin. Also, Sorceress Lux could use some love, too.

old commando gailo splash art looked cool. I don't know why they got rid of those sunglasses and that manly pose.

Commando Lux needs better effects, but I don't know how to do that without making this skin legendary.

TBH, I'm fine with the effects/particles being the same as the Lux's classic skin — if not, just slightly tweaked, like the Steel Legion skin, which is 975 RP.
