4/5 PBE Update

The Gentleman Cho'gath changes are insulting and petty. Are you trying to change him into Peasant Cho'gath? But seriously, was his pipe considered too controversial to leave? And he's allowed to sit next to booze, but not hold it, though an empty wine glass is fine?

Bilgewater and Jungle Rumble traded their flamethrowers for a gatling gun? Are rumble and Corki going to be trading abilities soon?

Ryze ones are nice changes, no complaints there.

I have no strong feelings about the Shaco skin changes except Nutcracko, who now just looks like a pirate rather than a nutcracker. Yarr.

Boneclaw Shyvanna looks nice.

Hextech Sion looks just as bad as he used to, but in a different way. Not really a net loss, but why put in the effort to change it to something equally terrible?

Warrior Princess and Huntress Sivir look like they're those cheap anime knockoff games that keep popping up. Looks like a standard final fantasy child-but-we-say-she's-18 design. Also holy hell what is going on with PAX sivir's legs?

No strong feelings about muse sona, but I'm sure others care.

Soraka one is nice.

Bilgewater Swain looks fucking badass, 10/10.

Renegade Talon looks like a zombie ghost assassin who was tricked into wearing jeans and a football shoulderpad. It's a really dumb mismatch of themes.

Recon Teemo is going to draw a lot of hate due to being teemo, but he's fine.

Barbarian Tryndamere looks like he's watching a teenager back a car into his mailbox. King Trynd is wearing Iceborne Gauntlet, which is weird for him.

Musketeer Twisted Fate is a nice return to his historical roots as a magic laser sword wizard, just like the real musketeers.

I actually kind of like the Twitch ones. They're weird and misshapen, but so is twitch.

Primal Udyr is an animorphs book cover, but in a weird way.

Crabgot's leer is weirding me out. And Butcher Urgot is now no longer a butcher, because reasons?

Vayne looks terrible, like someone just photoshopped a crossbow and a spooky background behind an amateur modelling photoshoot.

Veigar looks fine, no real change.

Vandal and Marquis Vlad look like Ezreal. Why does he look like Ezreal? A chilling forshadowing of the mage update?

Volibear looks like an armored bear. Which is insulting and should never have happened.

Granny Warwick looks amazing, even though he's clearly furious that I haven't called lately.

Why is Xin riding a horse through the jungle? Why isn't the horse wearing the same theme outfit that Xin is? Did they try to plan a matching halloween outfit but didn't communicate well?

Ziggs looks basically the same.

Groovy Zilean looks more punk than groovy.

My feedbacK on some of the Chinese splash arts and tweaks:

Gentleman Cho'Gath - Why did they remove the wine in the glass and the pipe? Bilgerat Rumble - no complaints, but where's the awesome pirate pose? Rumble in the Jungle - no complaints either... but why isn't Rumble chilling in his mech? Ryze - they look much better Shaco - no complaints, altho Royal Shaco looks creepy as hell Boneclaw Shyvana - no complaints here Hextech Sion - same as you're feedback Warmonger Sion - no comment Sivir - They all look like anime... the only one that passes is Spectacular Sivir Muse Sona - since Sona is on the list for skin splash art updates then I guess this one will do for now, certainly an improvement in my opinion Divine Soraka - looks a lot better Bligewater Swain - complete bad-ass, i rate 10/10 Renegade Talon - i present to you the Assassin equivalent of Singed! Recon Teemo - I still hate him... and the splash art doesn't help Highland Tryndamere - they didn't clear up that empty black space on the left... King Tryndamere - I honestly prefer the current one Musketeer Twisted Fate - I really like this one, but i feel like the current one is much more badass Twitch - I don't care for those, I'm just glad these awful model splash arts are gone (except Gangster Twitch) Primal Udyr - still weird, but it looks better at least Giant Enemy Crabgot - much better Butcher Urgot - so he's no longer a butcher? Vindicator Vayne - too realistic Veigar Greybeard - a small improvement, no real change here Vladimir - most of these are worst than the current ones, but I will say Vandal Vladimir as more of a connection the Brand and Gragas now Thunder Lord Volibear - no comment Big Bad Warwick - huge improvement Commando Xin Zhao - looks cool, but the original makes Xin Zhao look like a complete bad-ass Major Ziggs - small additions like spears, other then that it's basically the same Groovy Zilean - he looks like a crazy old man, no groovy pose anymore?
