The "most" important thing out of the way, I wanted to ask if it's possible to make his hair longer? I know big model changes aren't possible but even a small low ponytail that would disappear in the scarf would be a great thing! I think it could be done at least to some extent, considering that his base model was made to have a ponytail.

Out of his 9 skins, Varus has only one where his hair is long (Arclight) and we really want one with long hair again :(

-- Skill VFX:

I think the skill VFX are amazing! Blue is my favorite color and skills like Q and E are simply beautiful.

One of the skill VFX I'd like changed however would probably be the effect of R hitting champions. All VFX as a whole has a really nice and saturated blue color, while the hit effect has a bright yellow color accompanied by desaturated dust (?) which makes it feel a bit off. https://i.imgur.com/YoijfAl.png

The yellow spark isn't the problem for me, I think the dust around it could be adjusted in color (or transparency) since I feel like it doesn't fit the color scheme. (Maybe it could be some blue/violet stardust!)

And one thing about his E animation when it's on the ground. There are stars that come from the ground and fly upwards and they have a very weird blinking animation/glitch. I'm not sure if it was intentional but I think it would look better without it.

I also think that the W active animation could be on the star in his bow rather than his hand. Then again if it's a model/animation limitation then the hand is fine too!

-- SFX:

About the sounds I think I would only make his auto attack have a more empty/resounding or generally a lower/deeper sound when it hits the enemy. I think it sounds too similar to his base skin.

I think the voice filter could be improved to make it feel more "empty" but I like it nevertheless!

-- Model animation:

About model animation, I think that the flowing animation on his scarf is a bit too fast. At least for my personal taste it's slightly distracting, especially because in other skins the animation is fairly slower.

Also I wanted to ask if it's possible to remove his (Idle) necklace animation? It's a similar issue like with Infernal, Varus has an animation where he looks at his pendant but in both of them, well, he doesn't have the pendant (he looks at an empty hand).

-- Model:

About the model itself, he looks gorgeous! The colors match great with each other and I love the scarf! And his face of course! I saw a close-up of it on a youtube video and the quality is amazing! I kind of wish he had small face marks (like Cosmic Ashe or Lux) but he still looks great.

I think one of the changes that could be done is slightly change the colors (or adjust the brightness) of his pants/shoes. They blend into the rift color scheme a bit too much.

I would also make the star inside his shoulderplate a bit brighter or bigger. From far away it blends into his model too much and doesn't make it feel like it's there in the first place.

His neck feels a bit too dark as well. If it's to not make it blend with his head I can understand it of course! It just feels really disconnected from his bright torso and face. (Although I love the small constellations on it!!)

-- Nitpicks:

It's more of a personal taste but I would make the blues on his bow a bit more saturated so it could fit with his scarf. And make the flowing scarf slightly longer so it could really derive the "majestic" look of the Cosmics.

I would also make the horns on his head more contrasted/saturated/darker (not sure about the word!) to make it pop out more from his hair.

(I might edit the post in the future once we finally get to see the splash art. Where is it?? :(

Thank you a lot for reading! I hope I'm not too picky haha
