I mean only 2 champions have been chosen for this new Skin Line (not the most popular champions)

But I didn't really expect for either of them to be this looked aside (Graves is somewhat understandable since I didn't really imagine him being part of such a Skin Line). If other champions who would be more suited in this new Skin Line got such Skins, I believe this would be almost as popular as other Skin Lines like PROJECT for instance.

Really, to me they seem about as rated as they should be. I honestly don't think there needed to be a, what are we on now? 5th, 6th robot/cyborg themed skin line.

What's more, if someone wants a skin that plays up the fantasy of having their champion being a robot, it's usually at least in part to see how this new circumstance would change the personality of the champion. And, well the Praetorians don't have a personality. They just make clicking noises, which isn't really interesting. It makes the whole skinline seem like it missed the mark, with maybe the exception of Rek'sai. Whose animalistic screams actually could probably translate over to a whirring mechanical hiss pretty well.

I didnt like it as a Graves main, it stripped away all his voice lines in turn for generic robot sounds, he's too bulky and generic, the effects are cool tho.

Havent seen fiddle one in game.

I would have bought Praetorian Ivern.

The skin line is great idea. With most skins it's just, here's a recolour but it still looks like that champ. In the case of these, it's a complete reconcept of the character. Sure they look alike as they have to remain that champ but Graves isn't really Graves, it's a robot with the abilities of Graves.

Based on the first 2 champs done, there is no reason they couldn't do any champ in this line, from Taliyah to Heimer.

Only issue would be clashes, you know, if Mechas (and Chromas) are too close to them.

i prefer pred fiddles over classic fiddles voiceovers. if only fiddle gets a rework though in terms of at least a Vo/visual update at least.

I really hated Praetorian Graves as a Graves main, and I think most fellow Graves mains agree. The skin is just so ugly, it strips away all his personality for just a robot that looks vaguely like Graves that goes beep boop, and the thematics don't gel well together at all (Graves's own with the Praetorians').

Fiddlesticks's skin, on the other hand, looks pretty awesome. His thematic does go well with the Praetorians and it makes more sense to give him a robot voice. It's really just the Graves skin that gets people down, but luckily he's one of the champions that gets one skin per year, so he'll probably get something better this year (anything would be better to be honest). Fiddlesticks is not one of those champions, so it's good that he has a good epic skin for the time being (which will likely be his last before he gets reworked).

I'm not really a fan of it either. They look sloppy to me.
