League of Legends - No sugar coating, the Sweetheart Rakan & Xayah skins look like sh*t

No sugar coating, the Sweetheart Rakan & Xayah skins look like sh*t

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 06:39 AM PST

This year's Sweetheart skins are just not as good, compared to everything we had before (even Quinn).

It's due to the color scheme being completely off (no vibrant red, no crisp/sharp gold details, actually no details at all.)

 

Xayah uses the color scheme of Bloodmoon skins ( for reference ) and Rakan is just pale as if he had fallen into a pot of bleach wearing his base skin.

 

Here you can see for yourselves:

Rakan and Xayah confirmed 1350RP

 

Old Heartseeker & Sweetheart Skins:

Quinn

Lucian

Orianna

Ashe

Varus

Annie

Sona

Vayne

 

IN MY OPNINION it would look far better if they both went for a contrast rich and complementary vibrant red & pure white color scheme with gold details, like all the other Heartseeker skins use.

I know it's is still just an early preview, but by the looks of the skins right now they will need a lot of time and work invested to be made to look good.

 

Once I fix my art programms I will post an edit if the skins with better color scheme, until then I hope this gets a little attention, at least by and for the people who care.

 

Lot's of love and thank you for reading.

 

EDIT:

/u/RiotKateyKhaos post on the boards and here

 

EDIT2:

Personal opinion:

I think a lot of the hate for the skins comes from all expectations being crushed. Xayah and Rakan are the iconic couple of League of Legends, love is their theme. These skins do not capture any of that. The recall is bland and boring, the colors are not matching and both of them feel more out of character than actually in their element. I'm not sure if any work can or will be done, so far there has been no response or reaction by Riot.

 

Suggestions from the comments:

  • Make Rakan shirtless and hot

  • Xayah looks odd without the hoodie

  • There has to be more details and vibrant colors to catch the eye

  • Release Sweetheart Aurelion Sol instead

  • Wedding costumes (or Debonair for Rakan) could have been a better theme

  • Cancel or delay the skins and turn them into something truly awesome

 

Even more comments stuff:

  • Fully embrace the different style of Rakan and Xayah, but make the skins more appealing. Their uniqueness could be a selling point, but they still don't look good for that. Personally I like this idea a lot. Rakan has a new color palette, not shared with but maybe Elementalist Lux.

  • There are mixed opinions about the skins. Xayah looks too much like Ahri. Rakan looks drag.

  • The recall animation looks clunky and bland. They just do basic steps, no music, no interesting dance moves.

  • People are discussing about Lux, Nasus, WW and Gragas

  • Varus is hot.

We need another Void champion, not corrupted, straight up moster from the Void.

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 07:33 AM PST

Last Void champion we have gotten is Rek'Sai released 11th December 2014 ! That's over 3 years already. Really looking forward to seeing some new Voidborns.

Imagine if we got like a Void dragon that wants to beat up Aurelion Sol, or is Kog'Maw's dad OR BOTH AT THE SAME TIME.

Now I want to play a huge Void dragon so badly...

My very old counterpick project has finally gone live!

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 06:09 AM PST

TLDR: Counterpick.com just got released! There's still some tuning that must be done to increase its prediction strength, but I'd say that 57,3% is still good enough to give you that extra edge in champion select.

Hi, this story begins 7 years ago, when Riot held their first international lan tournament at Dreamhack, in Jönköping, Sweden: The Season 1 World championship. There, I had a chat with /u/rivingtonthe3rd talking about my idea of a web application that tried to predict the outcome of a game based on team composition. I called this project Counterpick. My (very) small-scale experiment had proved successful, where the algorithm guessed the right outcome in 8 out of 10 games played during that Season 1 World Championship.

The response from Rivington and his colleagues was positive, but of course it's hard to tell if they thought I was serious or not. Anyhow, if the application was to be released, they said that they were interested in trying it, and their response gave me that extra motivation to keep working on it.

But my attempt at creating the application failed. I'm no real programmer (my patience fails me every time I try) and despite help, I never managed to get all the parts working. Counterpick started to look more and more like just a theory, that was way to difficult to put into code. A year later, I felt Counterpick was never going to happen, and I put the project on hold, trying to forget it.

Fast forward to Spring 2017 (yes, time really flies) when I was cleaning out my apartment and found scribbles and notes that I'd made during the "Counterpick era". Yet again my mind started thinking about the project. Even after all these years it still seemed like it actually could work and I couldn't get rid of that thought. So with the help from Osmosys, we returned to my old project and we spent the last months developing Counterpick.com. It's really satisfying to be able to say that we've made it!

It has a decent prediction score (57,3%) and it can create some really interesting team combinations. The part that fascinates me the most is how surprisingly good it is at adapting when you try to build a team that's not considered meta. The next step will be to improve the algorithm so that it hopefully can reach 60% in the near future. Of course I also want the site to offer classical champion vs champion counters as well so that's also high up in my priority list.

If you could try it out and give me your thoughts, that would be super helpful. Though I'm not very good at keeping up with social media, I've created a Twitter-, Instagram- and as you can see, a Reddit account for Counterpick to try to be available to answer any questions or concerns.

Thanks for reading, and good luck on the rift!

Jax needs a visual update. Not a skin

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 04:58 AM PST

Don't get me wrong, I love the new Jax skin. It looks perfect and thematically matches his character, more than Lee Sin TBH, but this is going to turn out like Udyr. They're going to brush him to the side because they've satiated the thirst for some sort of recognition from Riot. And he will be neglected while champions that don't look like walking potatoes cough irelia cough get the recognition.

wow T1 really did reform

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 05:00 PM PST

I never really watched T1 nor was I a fan because of his old contents. It was really toxic. But when the news came out that his ID ban might be revoked I watched a few of his vods / youtube and he does seem cooler, or perhaps better than what he was

  • Stream Sniped - Screen watched
  • Draven Banned - Forced to play champions he can't play well
  • Camped - 4, 5 Gangbang
  • Currently watching where his jg ghosts to his lane and gives 2 , 3 kills (and counting) + exp leech

Despite all these cancers he remains positive, throws out banters in chat at times, but never vents into about his teammates. But rather controlled anger where he vents to himself + stream much like any other streamer.

Not only that but he's shown willingness to never give up. There's not one game he felt like giving up. He often says that it is over, but still remains to play properly. GJ T1

Edit: All i'm saying is; He was legit an A-hole in his past (and that's why I never really watched him), but if you watch recent contents, and the way he is now; he really has changed and improved his behavior and I'm proud of this feat.

Sunken Nautilus Statue - 22 months on

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 10:12 PM PST

Hi guys, some of you might remember when Riot sunk the Nautilus Statue about 22 months ago. I dived it just a few days after it was sunk Album here and posted some update shots when it was 11 months on.

Back again at 22 months now. The sand has encroached the base of the statue a little but there's definitely some big life around it. With the constant shifting sand it might get completely covered for a while then uncovered again at a later date. Another wreck sunk near by many many years ago by the Underwater Research Group of QLD, an old Brisbane Tram, was covered for a few years before finally being exposed and started brimming with life again.

For now at least 2 Moray Eels are in residence, plenty of bat fish around, a school of Bigeye Trevally nearby and a Nudibranch was slowly making its way across his arm. The Anemone picture was from the Rock Driller Wreck (~8m away form the statue.)
He also picked up a secondary weapon, but it was still shiny so we recovered that and gave it a new home.

Hope you enjoy!
As I said in my last update; sorry about not being able to find your names (there were a few people that requested) but it's most definitely covered now!

You can't use the word "Masculinity" in your summoner name.

Posted: 08 Jan 2018 09:26 PM PST

I was trying to make my name "ToxicMasculinity" as a funny summoner name, and learned that the word "Masculinity" is considered profanity. Why?

What if skin rentals let you upgrade to skin permenant?

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 04:25 AM PST

Skin rentals are pretty useless and not many people actually rent the skins, because.. losing a shard for 7 days of a skin is pointless.

Instead, what if, at the end of the rental week, you were given the choice to upgrade to skin permenant for an extra amount of essence? That way, you used the rental and you can now decide if you want it without having to get the shard again.

For example:

You are a Cait main. You get a pulsefire caitlyn shard, and you decide to rent it to see if that's the skin you want.You pay 20% of the cost of skin permenant to rent it for a week. After a week, you are offered the oppertunity to unlock it permenantly, for an additional 90% of the permenant value, meaning unlocking the skin permenantly in this method would make it 10% more expensive than permenant unlock, but you got to trial it for a week first. If you trialed it and didn't like it, you still saved 80% of your essence that you would have spent if you unlocked it.

Seems like a basic way to add some functionality to skin renting.
