Years ago I worked in a bookstore and wrote down all the Arctic Warfare Caitlyn codes from the issues of PC Gamer we got and handed them out in the irc.

What's some champs that you pick up a skin for them because you don't like the base appearance? Or just that you don't like the base appearance?

Jayce has the best base skin because that jacket looks luxurious as gently caress.

Best skin splash was definitely Trollop Lux, which was unfortunately fixed to not look like a 12 year olds art project

Im not a huge fan of the base skins for TF, Kat, Karma or Trynd.
Also blood moon elise is superior to base skin elise in every way, change my mind.

Remember when they redid TFs entire art and model and inexplicably made him bigger than every other humanoid champ in the game, then went “whoops our bad” and rescaled him to be smaller than Annie before finally fixing him to look like an adult sized human. Can’t wait for that to somehow happen in the Mundo rework (which I am really looking forward to)

Corporate Mundo is going to go become cyberpunk corpo because Cyberpunk 2077 is so popular and all of his voice lines are going to be replaced with selfish idiot lines :(

Cassiopeia has never had a skin even close to as good as her base skin, imo

Cass has a ton of good skins; her problem is not that her skins are bad but that her base art is really really good. Also Spirit Blossom is amazing.

Groovelord Neato posted:

I've always found Urgot to be one of the characters where the default skin is best. There aren't a ton like that but there are a handful.

Monsters and robots are objectively the coolest characters but unfortunately they don't pay the bills.

I mean, old Crabgot was the best skin league ever had. Butcher Urgot isn't much of a skin, but you throw chainsaws and that definitely beats the base artwork by itself.

Hell Cowboy Urgot is 100% better than his base in every way. Cosplay Urgot is great because it legitimately tilts people who love Star Guardian events. You personally may not like their aesthetics for whatever reason, but there isn't really an argument for base being better.

It looks cooler than all those skins would be the argument.

You're confusing Riot with Blizzard, who just implemented a Flappy Bird minigame into the new expansion 7 years after it was relevant.

I get it, they're both owned by China and all.

Looking back at release schedules, almost every champ from 2015 up to current have solid base appearances. Stuff like Kayn, Ivern, Ekko, Aphelios, Pyke, Sett, Senna and Tahm Kench all look really good as is. If I had to pick, Tahm and Ivern in particular have had a couple of skins come out but I still prefer their base looks.

Speaking of, Riot Blaustoise actually has an interesting talk where he goes into character visual appeal and what they've learned over the years at Riot.

The Seraphine teaser account is one of the best things Riot has done! She might have stinger appearance at the end of the K/DA video next week (if it's not just a song) but I'm kind of expecting them to wait until Worlds to reveal her.

I think the next patch is the week after next? Which means there should be a new PBE build in September with the second set of Psy-ops skins (Kayle, Pyke, Viktor, Volibear, Zed) and (hopefully) Samira, the DMC champ.

Question, why does anyone pick Master Yi without banning Rammus? I've started using him as my counterpick for Yi, Yasuo and Yone and for Yi in particular it seems like there's absolutely nothing they can do if I just taunt them and press W to watch them murder themselves on my shell.

Riot is ramping up prerelease hype for a champion that is supposed to be musical in nature. So far she has a Twitter SoundCloud and Instagram with pictures where she is drawn into real photos in a very riot art style. No info on kit yet.

Champ will come after Samira which is the devil may cry shurima ADC that has some sort of style combo system.

Most likely will get teased as part of the new KDA single that is being revealed this week.

I'm pretty sure Seraphine is going to straight up be KDA Samira's stage name to be honest.

Definitely getting a Lillia Yone vibe if they do end up as separate characters though. Samira is going to be completely overshadowed by the music champion in that case.

Actually on further thought Seraphine might be the new “sensational” mage they mentioned was coming this year. But don’t take her hype being KDA/Music based to mean she’s going to actually be a musical character. Yone was revealed using Spirit Blossom themed stuff but his actual skin isn’t as aligned to it.

Firebert

Seraphine was leaked by the same Brazilian streamer who leaked Yone/Lilia/Samira and she was said to be a 'musical midlane mage', it's core to her kit whether she's in LA or Targon(?)
