it can be two things and also saying "it can't be that hard" about anything related to game development let alone a game that has some sort of constantly on component like MOBAs/MMOs prove you know gently caress And All about this poo poo

e: like seriously it does not take a rocket scientist to understand that silhouette/particle readability is a huge issue in any game in which you have a cast that is meant to have some sort of basic "easy to identify as x" visual cues like most online multiplayer games try to do

Of course it's more complicated you jackass. It cannot be that hard to conceptualize/create a skin for a champion that is not Ahri, Miss Fortune, Ezreal, or Lux. They've done it plenty of times in the past and they probably should explore other characters that are not them! It has gently caress and All to do with visual readability so much as $$$

I'm not buying "readability" and "it's hard to make particle effects" as the principle reason they're releasing Thirty Dollar Miss Fortune when it took eight loving years it took to make Beekeeper Singed

I'm going to have to agree to this. They keep making GBS threads out these skins and I'm never excited for any of them because I already own one or two for each of them via mystery gifts or skin shards.

It's becoming so common for them to release new skins for these champions that there is no "wow factor" or surprise, and I just go "oh another Ahri skin :geno:" when I look at every other week's skin contributions.

hey, check this out, i am going to do a skin concept for quinn. ready? patriot quinn. she is dressed up in the colours of the american flag and has an eagle. now watch me do one for taliyah. are you ready? magma taliyah. is it just an elemental version of taliyah? yes. but i do not see riot coming up with more ideas. these skins are not hard to come up with, riot is just not putting in the effort. it took me 3 minutes to come up with those ideas.

gently caress they can just make a skarner that looks like a real scorpion. There's an easy skin right there.

But skarner doesn't have tits so Riot won't do it.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
I think they've said before the skins team just makes the skins they want now, so that's why some champions get 10 skins a year and some champions get 1 skin in 10 years. Some initiative to get "high quality skins" out of the team because they're more passionate about what they're working on

Okay I hear you, but how about we take that Quinn idea and expand on it by scrapping Quinn and going with All American Ezreal where he shoots bald eagles instead of Qs and has an Uncle Sam outfit, minus the hat. We want him to still have an easily identifiable silhouette. Oh and his E makes an eagle caw.

I think we could also refine that Taliyah idea into a second fire Ahri skin but that's just my thoughts at the moment, maybe we can discuss that idea a little later in more detail

Somehow it doesn't surprise me in the slightest that the skin team is all about the pirate titty

Taliyah's been one of the most popular midlaners worldwide since her release, but she's just getting a new skin (the SSG one, and even that's a bit up in the air) in 2018, two years after her release. The reason's because her silhouette requires those long, flowing sleeves and rock or rock-like particles to make her instantly readable as Taliyah, constricting an artist's ability to design a creative but readable skin.

Taliyah's been popular in pro play only, you get skins by being popular among the actual playerbase.

Alright Pog I'm back, here's another skin idea: let's do a Zoey skin where she's not changed in any way shape or form but we give her a stupid name to try to force into a meme, like I dunno, Gappy. I think that has legs if we repeat it enough times
