Can we revert or change the "updated" Desperada Cassiopeia skin?

There were a lot of threads about this on the old forums, but I haven't seen anything here. Basically the new Desperada skin looks really fugly. It removed a lot of intricate details from her vest/whips/hat, and the new snake skin pattern is a major step backwards. It no longer looks like the deadly diamondback rattler I bought it for.

Also, can we get some work done on the "walking" animation? The snake tail wriggles about too much and it looks kind of weird.

She doesn't look like a rattlesnake at all, now. Hell, she doesn't even match the splash art anymore. All she looks like, is the top half of a woman connected to a turd. It's so washed out like play doh, or smeared finger paint.

I personally like the updated skin. It makes her look more like a rattlesnake and tones down the gaudiness of her costume. Simple is better in this case, because the plain black outfit is so much crisper and better looking than the previous incarnation with all that embroidery that was too difficult to distinguish and made it feel tacky.

In regard to her movement, that would involve an entire model rework, which is not what they were going for with Cass. They're saving that animation team for larger projects like Sion, Urgot, and Poppy, as well as new champs who actually need work done on their model. Cass is acceptable, and its fine that they didn't do an all out overhaul. What I would have liked to see were new animations for recall, which is a simple inclusion when you see champs like Annie, Lulu, and even Jade Fang Cass who have special recalls with particular skins yet retain the old model.
