New Pug'Maw texture on PBE is a significant downgrade from the original texture

Blakiepug··9 votes·2,241 views

I realize that it was noted that this is still a WIP texture for the skin, however, I still wanted to get my feedback out here. The appeal of the skin on its reveal was how realistic it was and how close it looked to an actual pug. The new direction that the model seems to be taking is more cartoon-y which really takes away from a lot of the charm this skin had. I just hope that we can go back to the original texture which was really well-made in my opinion because I don't want this to be another Sewn Chaos skin situation where a select few complainers ruined it for the rest of the community. The original texture was perfect and doesn't need a complete overhaul. Don't listen to people who don't want a skin to exist in the first place for feedback. :(

I agree; the first, more detailed version is much better than the new iteration of Pug'Maw. The original had much more personality; it was a great match with Kog'Maw's creepy, comical characterization.

I know that it's only a WIP, but I'm concerned with the direction of the changes. I hope it's just me worrying over nothing.

How about NO?????? That skin looked like NIGHTMARE FUEL. Riot realized it looked way too creepy and tried to make it a little more cute, less eldritch horror.

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean others don't. Please don't ruin it for everyone else. You aren't affected by this skin existing so why do you care? Let people like what they want to like.

I am actually affected by that skin.

  1. It sets a precedent of hideous skins;

  2. I have to watch that nightmare fuel whenever someone uses it.

  1. April Fools / URF Day Skins have already established a precedent of bizarre, but fun, skin series. Pug'Maw fits this theme. Kog'Maw is already a multi-eyed, all-consuming beast from an alternate dimension. Literally every single one of his abilities involve vomit. A fairly comical pug skin (while fittingly creepy) is not more disturbing or "hideous" than the base champion.

  2. Individuals other than you (myself included) will purchase the skin and enjoy using it. I find it unlikely that you have ever had any intention of purchasing Pug'Maw. Let me assure you that one skin that you dislike will not ruin your League experience, especially if the combined forces of Crabgot, Draven Draven, and Cottontail Teemo have not done so already.

Pug'Maw is a silly, fun skin for a creepy void puppy. Please do not sink the ship if you have no intention of sailing in it.

Crabgot, Draven Draven and Cottontail Temmo all make sense.

Pug'Maw is just hideous.

Pug'Maw, as a skin, makes perfect thematic sense. Kog'Maw is League's slobbering void puppy.

The concept is creepy, clever, and fun; and I look forward to using this skin in future games.

Well, you're from NA so I guess we'll never queue together, thankfully.

So what? Stop acting like this is a big deal to you. People can use whatever skin they want. It's personal preference and for that reason there should be a wide variety of skins. Not everyone's going to like the the more serious skins like Dragon Slayer that came out this patch, but you don't see anyone complaining, do you? Asking for a skin to be removed from the game because you don't want to lane against it is just plain selfish.
