Arcade Ahri Skin Spotlight - Pre-Release - League of Legends

Honestly, this skin feels most underwhelming out of the three. I expected so much more from this, I almost thought it could overtake Final Boss Veigar as my favorite Arcade style theme (Yes I know, FB Veigar is a Boss theme skin and Ahri is Arcade, but they are still the Arcade lineup. Game/Geeky references, so both are classified under Arcade). What I think is wrong with this skin is that Ahri, kinda like Hecarim, isn't really the most flashy when it comes to particles. The Arcade skins work, because of the particles. Ezreal, MF, Corki, Veigar, Sona, Riven and Blitz work, because of the constant particles. Heca and Ahri just work less, because they aren't as flashy as the ones I named before (not that that is a bad thing).

Also, the base skin is very underplayed. It's a Star Fox reference, but the use of next to no color is very disappointing. Oh, and fix the recall animation. This is something that has bothered me since I noticed it on the Pool Party skins. Taric, for example, jumps in "water" to go swim/rescue someone during his recall. As soon as the 8 seconds are over, he is in base directly in his idle pose. Ahri jumps into an arcade cabinet for her recall. 8 seconds are over, completely in her idle pose. And this is something very recent, since Blood Moon Kennen did get a proper recall. He falls into a dark portal and the end of his recall. He comes out of it when he's back in base. I don't get why a 975 RP skin can do it right, when a 1350 RP skin can't.
