PBE Bug & Feedback Thread - Soul Fighter Samira

It's reassuring to see Riot responding to community feedback and making adjustments to the skin to enhance its uniqueness. The new damage numbers and animations are expected to provide a more satisfying experience. We're curious to see how the "special burst of flames" will look.
It will be interesting to gauge the community's response to these changes and whether the backlash will diminish. Some players still criticize the high price of the Ultimate skin, and even with the adjustments, they believe it falls short of being worth it.
For instance, user "merogaming" expressed their viewpoint, which garnered many upvotes:
I would be willing to pay around 2500+ RP at best. It's good, but not enough to justify the price. Moreover, you are lowering the standards set by previous skins just to increase the price of this one. That's a terrible business practice.
Let's see if Riot Games considers adjusting their pricing policy for the Soul Fighter Samira skin. However, it seems highly unlikely.
