The League of Legends pre– Season patch has brought us a lot of grief and annoyance. The new store interface is something that everyone is still getting used to, and the new icons just seem impossible to distinguish from each other. Am I buying a Serrated Blade or a Hexdrinker right now? But hey, there is some good news: new LoL skins!
No, we’re not here today to write about the icons or the new store. We’re taking a look ahead at what will be in about a week when the new LoL Patch 10.24 goes live. And why? Because there are some cool new skins!
Illaoi, Skarner and Anivia – champions that are not among the most popular and therefore haven’t received new skins for a long time, will receive epic new looks in the upcoming patch. These skins are already available on PBE and look fantastic.
The champions will join such others as Ashe, Kassadin, and Xin Zhao in the Event Horizon/Cosmic skinline. This skinline is about cosmic creatures of sublime love who are children of the gods. Pretty cool isn’t it?
So, besides the three mentioned above, which champions will get new skins? We are also getting a swimming fish alien in Nami as well as a space vampire Vladimir. Four more champions will join them. Nidalee, Hecarim, Varus and Lissandra will also be transformed into cosmic gods.
But that’s not all! Soraka is also getting some love. Her Star Guardian skin, which is clearly one of her best – but I may just be biased – will get a prestige skin. So if you’re a fan of the magical girl genre or just the Star Guardian skinline, you’re in luck.
These skins all look fantastic and make us forget for a moment how chaotic the pre– Season has really been so far. Smart moves Riot… smart moves.
What do you guys think of the skins? Let us know on Twitter. For more LoL news, like the eventual Championship skins from Damwon Gaming then read on at EarlyGame.
Champion skin
Champion skin (or skin for short) refers to the color scheme or appearance of a champion. Most champion skins can be purchased in the Riot Shop with Riot Points, while others are/were only available for special events/promotions. However, some selected chroma skins (color-changed skins)can be purchased at special events for Blue Essence. Some champion skins bring new particles for visual effects, quotes and sound effects. Each skin has its own splashart, which is displayed in the champion selection and loading screen. Since patch 7.16, the custom champion image is also matched to the skin in the game itself.
What is actually… “League of Legends”?
“League of Legends is one of the most successful e-sports titles in the world. But what is it actually about? And what makes the game so popular? An explanation for beginners.
What is League of Legends (“LoL”) about?
In a classic game of “League of Legends,” two teams each have five characters called champions, each with individual characteristics. The main goal of each team is to destroy the opponent’s Nexus (a main building). Before this can be attacked, however, several defenses must be torn down on at least one of the three central level routes (lanes). Similar to “Dota 2”, the heroes receive continuous support on their campaign from AI-controlled units called minions. They storm the battlefield at regular intervals and independently attack enemies or enemy buildings – but only on the three main paths of the map. Those who roam around in the surrounding jungle will have to do without minion help. As usual in the MOBA genre, the champions reach higher levels by collecting experience points. In the course of the match, they learn numerous new abilities. Provided they have enough gold, the player can also strengthen himself with new equipment. Each of the 141 hero characters that the player can currently choose from is assigned to one of six classes. Warriors can deal out a lot of damage, tanks take a lot of punishment, mages have powerful special abilities, and supporters can, among other things, replenish the mana energy of allies or heal their comrades-in-arms.
