Posted 4/5/2014 7:07:15 AMI love the new model and VO for Twitch, one of the best they've ever done, but they're going to need to come up with a new animation for his taunt for the skins where he's not using a crossbow (Vandal and Gangster).

Posted 4/4/2014 10:39:51 PMUnpopular opinion - I think Twitch is kinda cute in is Classic skin, and that it's his best skin in this update.
It reminds me of the Heimer VU where I also found the classic skin the best.

Posted 4/4/2014 7:39:46 PMjust saw the zed skin it looks pretty clean. although the video i saw him in had his shadows messed up when he does his taunts and jokes :(. im probably buying that one and jax. they all have the same particles though so they're like reskins. although they have different sound effects especially jax has that thunk sound for the weapon hes using when he attacks

Posted 4/4/2014 9:25:15 PMso is his w shadow and ult shadow gonna be the same as his skin? because its kind of odd how the skt skin shadows have the skin as the shadow instead of it just being a dark shadow with a different hue. like how zeds original skin has his shadows with a red hue and his shockblade zed his shadows have a blue hue

Posted 4/4/2014 6:47:22 PMThe new Twitch vandale isn't as cool as the live one. It's sad they removed the golden chain attached to the ear and the nostril and the damn cool sunglasses.

Posted 4/4/2014 5:56:33 PMI wonder if the SK skins don't have any new particles, or if they just aren't on PBE yet...

Posted 4/4/2014 4:20:55 PMI hope this 4 armor wonkyness stops, first Gragas and ziggs, then vayne and now twitch too? Riot needs to clean up their prototyping files to conform with 4.5 or this nonsense could happen for weeks. People keep getting confused or up in arms over silly mistakes on test builds.

Posted 4/4/2014 7:22:58 PMIt's because they're trying to rebalance after the blanket buff of 4 armor to EVERY CHAMP after the Rune nerfs. Apparently putting 4 armor on some champs was a little too much, and they're playing with the numbers.

Posted 4/4/2014 8:04:40 PMi think yuou missed my point, I dont think this is conscious rebalancing the armor changes that showed up on gragas, ziggs, and now vayne got reverted in the very next update usualy just a day or 2 between that doesnt sound like testing a change to me, the one for vayne got reverted in just 2 days, even unpopular changes get tested longer than that, and small number adjustments usualy skip the PBE entirely, just look at any patch note release and youll notice a number of small number tweaks never get tested on PBE.
I suspect these are mistakes as a product of sloppy PBE file management rather than any balance attempt by riot. think about it they make changes to PBE champions by taking a snapshot of the existing champion and messing with its mechanics / number values, any snapshot made prior to 4.5 is now inherently incorrect as it has yet to account for the global armor adjustment. forgetting to update the armor value when making adjustments to an old snapshot would be an easy mistake to make.
weve had issues like this before were weird stuff gets on the PBE by accident all the time, this happened to shyvana alot a few months ago, the guy working on shyvana owned up and said he was new to the PBE file management and accidentally leaked sscrapped projects all the time.

Posted 4/4/2014 8:30:50 PMthink it was a mistake for vayne because when the skt skin came out for her, her armor was down to 9.0. now it's back to original intended value

Posted 4/4/2014 8:37:45 PM^exactly and twitch just got his VU, ziggs was undergoing internal testing, and gragas was testing his rework. each champion that showed up with armor changes that were reverted the very next update were undergoing scrutiny and in vayne and twitches cases for reasons entire unrelated to balance.
