Thats why Dragon Slayer Xin looks better than Dragon Sorceress Zyra

Well its pretty sad, that a teasered, long awaited skin for zyra is worser than a randomly appreared xin skin.

But dont waist much time and compare them:

Xin:

his overall look fits the the previous dragon-slayer skins. he has this red/orange-themed abilities and this horned plate-armor. Very well done.

Zyra:

has an overall purple-look (except her awesome done hair) which would be okay if her abilities would fit more the dragon-theme. They dont.

We all can understand thats a much harder work to do this kind of zyra-skin than a xin-skin. And we appreciate the try of effort, Riot has done.

But dont, pls dont, try to bruise a plant-themed champ into a dragon sorceress when u, obviously, cant.

Heck, her abilities look like a ridiculous mixture of void, dragon and some slime.

The dragons, especially the melee-one, look weird af. If u cant implement good, intimidating dragonheads, then let it go.

We dont need a thing between comic and a doll corner like good old "Augsburger Puppenkiste".

**Idea: Why not replace zyras "dragons-plants" with the model of the serpent from Xins Recall?? That looks far more like a dragon. **

U ve SOOO many options to do a good zyra skin, Riot.

Like e.g. this:

If u really want a good skin, maybe let the community choose with a preselection.

Ah, and btw. that, for example:

is a dragon.

Cheers

I really don't know why everyone hates on it. It's gorgeous

My only complaint with the Zyra skin is its purple color palate is too similar to the Void color palate. Another color would have made it stand out more.

There are a lot of different types of dragons. Just because her Q and E plants don't look like a western dragon in both it doesn't mean her plants don't look like dragons -_-"

Plants should grow wings and their eyes should glow like in WW's W when they're ulted. Ranged plants need wings. Zyra's wings need to come out of her back, not her ass. W looks like a slimy egg. Needs to be more solid and to crack when about to hatch from spells, R sound is weird and uncomfortable and it's a recolor.

Im sooo happy theyre making a zyra skin but me being a starcraft farn, Id have loved for her wings to be kind of bladed-up and coming out of her back so i could feel like im playing kerrigan. XD

Hi! I main Zyra, I'm happy cause she will have a skin, but, that's not so good... We have wait 3 years for that. Xin have a new skin with many chromas, the login theme and Zyra have only an unfinished skin...
