Problem with the newest Varus skin (and chromas)

Hello,

I've bought the newest Infernal Varus together with chromas, and I can't help it but notice something that's been disturbing me. I'm very sensitive when it comes to visible pixels and textures that are not polished enough, so my issue is quite annoying with this one.

The "scarf" that Varus has, has a glitchy and pixelated "glow" that looks plain bad compare to the skin that overall looks good. It's only the scarf that I've noticed any issues with.

I added three pictures for the preview. I hope I'm not the only one noticing the pixelated hell >>

Premise: It is possible Varus' scarf is somehow coded as a form of particle effect rather than simply a part of the model.

Do you have your video quality on the same level for your character model and the whichever one used for special and particle effect? It is possible that this happens just because your particle effect option is tuned to low that you did for performance or whatever reason. And thus the quality level mismatch results in this Varus who looks like he doesn't feel so good.

That's be guessing, of course.

It's also possible that Riot just 240p the scarf and thought they could get away with it.

I mean the whole pixelated scarf thing is also visible for his Darkstar Scarf too. A Rioter promised to send the previous feedback to the VFX Artist that stated the issue with pixelated scarf on Darkstar Varus and to this day we got no answer as to what happened or why it wasn't fixed.

Can't say i'm surprised that this Pixelated Scarf has returned on a different Skin.

It seems like a bug, if you look at the patch notes then you can see that its not supposed to be like that. https://am-a.akamaihd.net/image?f=https://news-a.akamaihd.net/public/images/articles/2019/august/pn917/Varus_Infernal_Chromasv1.jpg Here, compare this to your pic. Id just send in a bug report if i was you. It doesnt seem like riot meant to do it, as you see it in high quality on the patch notes. I took this pic from a PBE vid https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/590140625630789632/620212974216413195/unknown.png Where its normal, so it seems to just be a bug and should be fixed soon.
