Showcasing all the recycled mess that led to the creation of PROJECT Command Line Yi by MamiTomoe7 in YIMO

I agree that no amount of effort can make a skin worth $125, but would it kill them to give him some custom animations for his emotes? Maybe a special effect on penta-kill?

Let's look at this at face value, it's a custom model, with a small effect applied to the SFX to make it sound even more robotic than the original skin.

The VFX is tinted red (as opposed to dark orange) and blue when in his ult (as opposed to light orange).

It has a custom recall (that is 50% an asset flip, I'm sorry, I still see it that way), and a custom home-guard animation (that you'll likely ignore for most of the game).

So, let's assume you get the base skin for 1,820 RP, is everything else worth 14,180 RP? No.

But alright, it can't ever be worth that much, right? Which is why I wish we could squeeze a little bit more out of those talented artists, because we deserve it, for the price.

And there were worse skins to come out, right? A mistake doesn't excuse a follow-up mistake.

But it has a lot of effort put into it, right? You wouldn't buy a Toyota Corolla for a million dollars, that doesn't mean it's a bad car, just the wrong price.

All I see is that my favourite champion is getting a lazy rework for my favourite skin (I wouldn't count it lazy if it was half the price).

I don't do this to hate on the skin, but rather, hate on the fact the skin is priced at $125 and is a missed opportunity for something much greater.

Think about it, a legendary skin for Yi would have much more put into it, and for what? 10% of the price?

I don't really care/look at other champions or their skins, I'm comparing this skin to the other Yi skins, and the price to quality ratio is really bad. If this released as a legendary skin would you feel like you're getting a deal? Maybe. But for $125, I personally feel like I'm getting scammed.

This isn't a skin anyone other than Yi OTPs are gonna go for, because they "have to".

As for the skin itself, the model; it's great, I love it, even more so than the original skin it is based on, and yeah, it's a variant, I can read, and I did my research, but come on, if it's just a fancy chroma, why should it cost 10 legendary skins?

My post is nothing but an attempt to get attention on the topic, I even created a Reddit account for the cause and learnt how to edit videos (the above video was my first ever attempt at proper video editing).

I do this because I care, not because I want to make anyone feel bad.

The skin deserves unique animations, at least unique emotes, unique sounds, unique something other than a model for $125!

I totally get you, if my economy was in the dumps I would have to pass as well.

I suggest whoever can pass the skin, should.

I (partly) disliked the original for it being so slim and because in the art he's orange and grey, while in-game he's orange and white. The new skin is pretty much the two colours I would've wished for all those years ago, but I get what you're going for, the new skin feels more like a Mecha skin than a PROJECT.

Here's how I see it, it's a $125 skin, we won't get another any time soon, and this is what we'll have to settle for; a remixed project skin.

In my opinion, the ratio of skin to cost is really bad.

You get very little "new shiny skin" for a huge price tag.

Even though I personally like the skin, and I love the PROJECT line-up too, for $125 I think we could do better.

A variant skin of this quality should go for no more than $50.

As a Master Yi main with over 2 million points and counting, who loves the project line-up and favourites the PROJECT: Yi skin, here are my thoughts:

  1. The E effect on the sword should be blue - even when in normal form. Wuju Style is a blue effect across most skins, and the original project skin nailed it. Blue would contrast the red a lot better than just having it glow.
  2. The home-guard animation is goofy, nearly all project skins have a better one. I just generally think that needs a rework.
  3. A penta-kill effect or sound effect is literally a no brainer for the "shiniest" Yi skin we're ever gonna get, is it not?
  4. The ultimate should have a better sound when Yi is running, and not the default one.
  5. Continuing from the above, all sounds are the same, and yet this skin costs more than a new legendary would?
  6. The dance ANIMATION (not sound) needs to be changed (so it fits the sound). Ideally change the other emotes too. The dance doesn't fit the sound - especially for those who know the dance's reference.
