We won't recieve a "Magical Girl" or "Sailor moon" skin so stop asking for it. I have seen the Magical girl skin and it is almost exactly the same as her default. If you really want those two skins have someone make you a custom skin.

I do agree that the skin needed some work but since when does every skin match a champions personality. There are people that like Steel Legion lux and want it. If you don't like the Damn skin that don't buy it..

Her armor wasn't just dull. It was bulky and visually unappealing, but the worst part is that it made her look like something else. It didn't look like Lux anymore, and I think that was the core of it, the very reason people disliked this skin. I want Lux, not Generic Space Marine #9001.

And while silver/grey could arguably be the "proper color" for a light mage, it's boring. Most people don't like boring.

As I've said many times before, a departure from a character's theme has to be done carefully, especially if you are taking a cheerful, light-hearted character (Yes, she is, it's her in-game personality) and making them all dark and gritty. I can see it work, and I have seen it work, but it has to be done carefully, or all you succeed in doing is taking away from what people like about a character and not adding anything meaningful. Steel Legion Lux was not handled correctly, or we wouldn't have had the uproar on the forums that we did.

The reason skins like Suprise Party Fiddlesticks, Gentleman Cho'gath, etc. work the way they do is because they take a dark, gritty character and make them silly and light-hearted, and the contrast is played for comic effect. It's very difficult to get similar results when you go the opposite direction.

With the leak of the Steel Legion Garen splash art (here), I am hopeful that the Steel Legion Lux skin will still be released. Given all the texture to Garen's armor in the splash, it would be great if Lux got some similar textures on her armor, or some bells and whistles in general.

Also, Garen's splash kinda doesn't feel military. I mean he is fightning and decked out in armor, but it looks more futuristic than just straight military.

Well, that's tragic. She still looks terrible. Will be passing on this skin until the day it goes on sale, and even then, only if it's a 975 skin. Simply not worth it. Potential on this skin went completely untapped and the only fair thing about the skin is the particle effects (which would have been far better spent being worked on for her other skins, or a new skin altogether).

Oh well. Generic Futuristic Skin #57632. An absolutely terrible theme on a champ that is so far from needing a futuristic skin that it is clear the skin development community has their head in the clouds. Sigh.

i agree, for the armor thing, it looks like he is wearing nautalus

Is it supposed to be straight military? Cuz idk about other people, but I'd be kinda disappointed if it was straight military... like the commando skins...

My problem with the skin isn't the model at all, its the coloring, especially that gold trim, i think that is what makes it ugly.

I would love if Steel Legion Lux looked like a Sister of Battle. But this skin is just so drab and generic. I'm not easy enough to fall for pretty new particles, which seems to be the thing about this skin that hooks people.

Will keep using Sorceress Lux till something worth getting comes out for her.
