Giant Enemy Crabgot: New Skin VS Old Skin

First off I would like to thank Riot for reworking the fURGOTen champion. ;) "Its" rework looks fun and is very unique.

Anywho, I have always liked fURGOT as a champion but long awaited "its" champion rework. But, there was always one thing I was worried would change when "it" got reworks. That is "its" Crabgot Skin. Now don't get me wrong here. I do think the new Crabgot skin rework looks cool! The problem is, I didn't buy it for the cool factor, but rather... maybe you could call it... the "weird" factor? The first time I laid my eyes on "Giant Enemy Crabgot" I about died! The next statement I said was something along the lines of "That is the best skin in all of League of Legends!" Followed by more laughing. I proceeded to pull out my wallet and buy the skin. You had won me over. I proceeded to use Giant Enemy Crabgot as the only Skin for fURGOT unto this very day.

The main reason of me posting this is to try to get Riot's attention about the Old Giant Enemy Crabgot skin before it is fURGOTen forever. Thankfully we will always have the memory of the Old Crabgot skin through the Helmet Bro: Animated Series - Giant Enemy Crabgot.

One idea of a way to preserve the Old Giant Enemy Crabgot Skin for players who loved it would be to make it a Classic skin like was done with Karma and Sejuani, but instead of a full classic remaster, just a classic loading screen flare. I understand the work it would take to remaster an old skin on a new Champion, so I am not asking for that. Just the ability to share the joy I feel while loading into a game with the Classic Crabgot Loading Screen! :)

Thanks to the Community for your input and to Riot for your time.

Overall I feel like old Crabgots charm came mostly from him kidnapping a woman in his splash art,which would have been hilarious if they had kept that(or even included that in the actual skin,like a special recall or something like that).

That being said,the new one looks pretty amazing and actually looks good ingame unlike old crabgot.

The new one is a god damn Kaiju, my choice is obvious.

I have a similar reaction to the old vs new normal skin. New skin looks cool. I did not get Urgot to be cool, I got him because he was the only disgusting champion.

I doubt that Riot will do anything about the old skin. But, I think it is possible if you are technically savvy you may mess with the files to keep the old splash art and skin.
