Champion Weapon Reskins - Phoenix Freeshard

Can we get some more reskins? Class-specific champion weapons would be awesome! Maybe 40k bps or something ...

Some classes have some really limited options at the moment.

The devs think the CL weapons look stupid and have said numerous times they will not add the skins.

I personally have never seen a dev publicly comment on their appreciation or dislike of champion weapon skins.

They were part of beta, but my understanding was more because all classes could use the skins of any other class champion weapon. This leads to confusion on which class you are fighting more than anything. I doubt the esthetic of these weapons (like or dislike) was ever the cause of removing them at launch.

Do they want to keep a "classic" looking game? Idk, they made so many changes that it's hard to judge. COuld there be more reskins available in the game? Probably, because I personally find that everybody looks the same (GoV chest with feathered wrap cloak).

My understanding of that reply is that they don't think they belong in the game, not that they are ugly. But I had to google Jarring so my understanding might be off lol. Anyways this is all semantics, doesn't really matter.
