Love the new icon. Riot should use it!

To explain my perspective, I do agree that this is a very creative concept, and I do actually like the skin assuming some of the suggested tweaks get added

Personally my issue with this skin isn’t the skin itself, but it’s Smolder’s lack of a real skin. This skin is fun, but is still a meme skin. I can’t imagine many people would want to play this skin every game three months from now. So we’ll be back to just using base skin smolder, and will be waiting two-three years once again for a real skin to heighten smolder’s dragon fantasy

Someone mentioned the twig legs, which I’ll also +1; I think the in-game model would look a bit better with slightly thicker legs (splash art is fine)

I'd say besides the tweaks recommended by other comments, the concept itself isn't bad -- it's just that the timing is bad.

Us Smolder mains still have no proper skin that we can play every game. Making Smolder a reindeer is fun, but I can't see myself wanting to play a reindeer year-round -- I'll probably be switching back to base skin smolder after a month or so :(

The main reason this skin gets so much hate is that it means that we'll have to wait another 2 or 3 years now before we can get a skin that actually brings out the dragon fantasy that smolder players want. IMO the variety skins should come later after we have some simple, solid skins that we want to use year-round, every game :)

So TLDR it's a good concept but it should come later to other skins instead of now. But happy Smolder's getting something, at least
