LAVOS, LAAAAAAAAAAAAVOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSS

Everyone who had no idea what they were looking at and still can't believe that's a Mirage skin, raise your hand.

Why do you hate Lavos?

Ngl it looks even worse than default Mirage and that's hard to achieve. Hell, that skin's body is probably one of the ugliest things I have seen in Warframe that can only be obtained with plat.
Maybe someone can do something decent for fashionframe, but even then I doubt it would actually look great outside of her helmet. Maybe Nuwa helmet/Oneiro body? I dunno.
Also let's address the Bolarola in the room : I'm not a Lavos main, but he would have been a better fit for the "Year of the Snake" because of lore reasons. I get it that Lavos is next in the prime roster but it would have been nice for him to have a skin other than Tennocon for once...
Also if i was new to warframe and got shown that Mirage skin without any context i wouldn't have figured out it's supposed to be her... The design makes me think of that one Octavia skin, so i would have thought it was something similar for another frame. But It clashes so much with Mirage's theme that she would be my last thought for the frame who got that skin. That and the fact that she is one of the frames with the most skins in the game.
As for the other stuff that came in this? Yet another generic Boltor skin, a skin for a weapon that's only farmed for mr then left forgotten in your inventory because it's pain to farm and a kavat armor that looks okay, but really falls apart when you look at it from the front. Looking from the side it looks like some shape similar to elven-styled quadruped armor and then you look at it from the front and you have a goofy grineer helmet. Oh and rocks dipped in saturated paint you can't even color as an ephemera. Even as someone who likes Citrine i find these ugly.

I didn't like Saryn's lunar new year skin, and I hated Mirage's much more. Grendel's look funny though and I like it so it's not all black-all white. It would probably require DE's designers a few years however before they get a style for the lunar new year fashionframe. Knowing that, I really am afraid of all the terrible skins that could come up in the next years.

TL;DR : If you want a good-looking skin for Mirage, take Oneiro and ignore that one. Nuwa is a waste of platinum and you can't even get fishnets with that skin.

Yeah thought that was like, Yareli or something lol. Looking pretty bad. But really, the worst thing about it all is the inclusion of rivens - especially Zaw. Have you even changed a melee riven dispo that wasn't a brand new prime in the last 5 years? Yikes. Give us useful stuff.

I really feel bad for all melee users who wants to use anything that's slightly less popular than what's usually used. I'm not talking about those who uses trash weapons as a riven statstick for their Khora, but more something like the primes for Destreza, Ninkondi, Kogake, Tipedo... Those weapons look so cool, but they feel abandoned by both players and DE...

ok now Lavos deserves a deluxe, thank you goobay 👊

I personally abandoned nunchucks and rapiers when Melee 3.0 happened.
Back in 2.0 combos with dashes in them covered a lot more distance, nunchuks especially just don't feel right without that.
Rapier charge attacks used to have a technique I personally called ''mini-coptering''. Don't know how many other people found this out, but if you tapped your crouch key at the right moment, you would go a good couple meters further. By comparison, last I checked rapier charge attacks these days have no range at all. It's supposed to be a lunge damnit, a luuuuuuunge, not a baby step!
Aside from directional slam attacks, I continue to be disatisfied with everything Melee 3.0, but this disscussion thread is about the Lunar Year so I will spare you the rest of the rant.
