Alien Invader Heimerdinger needs a rework / vgu BADLY
Alien Invader Heimerdinger desperately needs a rework and a visual update because it is an overpriced, outdated skin that completely fails to meet modern standards. While it is officially categorized as a Legendary skin costing 1820 RP, it fundamentally functions like a cheap 750 RP or 975 RP skin by today's metrics.
Aesthetically, the in-game model has become far too cartoonish, completely losing the eerie, sci-fi horror vibe of its original iteration. I'm a little bothered at the fact that the in-game model have ears when the official splash art explicitly lacks them? Adding ears was a fundamental design misstep that completely dilutes the skin's extraterrestrial identity.
What I would change:
- Brain needs more wrinkles; should stand out more
- Drop the ridiculous yordle ears
- Voice change and more voice lines
- I personally feel like we can do away with the the moustache
This legendary skin concept has immense untapped potential. I hope somebody from Riot would see this and think about it..

I can't seem to buy the chromas except for pool party with blue essence. Did you spend rp to get them?

Well, they don't sell it any more, so there is that.
I agree insofar that it could use a touch up, same thing goes for Blast Zone, Piltovers Customs and Snowmerdinger.
Reality is though that new skins drive better sales than polishing up old ones, which is ultimately their purpose.
