Slow news day is slow! I do, however, have some itty bitty Red posts to share.
If you were feeling let down by the lack of new sound effects for the upcoming Special Forces Gangplank, don't worry! Ricklessabandon confirmed it does indeed have new sounds but they just haven't been added in yet. He mentions, specifically, that there are new sounds for Q and R, saying:
"he has new sfx for his parrrley and cannon barrage...just not yet included."
RiotDudeBro took the forums to respond to a topic where a Summoner was looking for information on skins for their favorite champions and the if there was a possibility of more themes, such as Pulsefire Ezreal, coming out. Here is an excerpt from that post, mentioning there are, in fact, more themes working their way down the pipeline.
"In short, we are working on a ton of stuff,have a lot of surprises and big stuff is in the works. We have plans for every champ and have skin ideas for pretty much all of them, including building off of existing skin lines as well as creating new ones. We also have legendaries AND themes in the works. Some we have multiple ideas for, some we have to wait for new tech, some we have to wait till we have time(because they are time intensive)."Sort of continuing that same subject, he made another post responding to a thread about champions, such as Udyr or Skarner, who don't have a very wide selection of skins.
"We are working on a ton of stuff. Wow worst answer ever! Let me explain it a bit. We are working on things you may know about, can predict, but there's A LOT of surprises. I can only speak on the development process. While these skins are in development they...well... change. Sometimes we start off in one direction and end up somewhere different. So we play our cards close to the chest because of that. There have been times when we develop a skin and upon it's completion say" ya know what, it's not that great" and maybe we bring it back into development for refinement. Or sometimes we look at a finished product and go "Whoah that skin is radical, let's kick it up a notch and do even more!"So what themes do you guys think we'll see more of? Vandals? Special Forces? Battlecast? Full Metal? or are you just gunning for new skins for "unloved" champions like Trundle or Taric?
That includes reworks, champions with only one launch skin, or champs with very few skins. We have plans for pretty much every champ in our game, some are in development right now. "
P.S: For those who don't frequent the Twitter or Facebook pages, me and Seranaya have been playing a lot of ARAM with fans just like you! Feel free to click the social media buttons at the top and keep an eye out for our next patch of community games.
GP needs a new voice over IMO. Voice doesn't fit the skin
ReplyDeleteThat's what you get (:
DeleteStalone didn't want to do it.
DeleteLost in his bush.
Deletewtf is going on here. . . .
Deletetits
DeleteI just want to see a gummy bear skin for volibear. I'll be happy if they do.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this. That's pretty good! You should make a thread about this.
DeleteMore volibear exactly
DeleteGummy! +1
DeleteThat would be an amazing skin, not gonna lie.
DeleteWinnie the Pooh skin.
DeleteZiggs and Nautilus came before Voli, wtd riot open your eyes, voli skin now !
Deletei think he means Ziggs and Nautilus SKINS came before any voli SKIN
DeleteHoping to see Battlecast Anivia come very soon! :D
ReplyDeleteTRUE DAT BRO, TRUE DAT
Deletesome particles for her wouldn't go amiss, anivias skins are all meh ~
you'll see the battle cast skarner before anivia. Look at the background of the cho'gath skin. you can see him
Deleteneed moar crimson elite
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, I really like Noxus champions and it's a shame Demacian Commandos have full team while Noxian Crimson Elite only got 2 ;(
DeleteThere were released Texture Files for a Crimson Elite Katarina, so that at least means there's one incoming ;)
DeleteAgree, Crimson Elite needs fleshed out so they can start reaping flesh!
DeleteCrimson Elite skins are ugly as hell though....
DeleteTalon leaves a lot to be desired, but Crimson Riven was pretty damn good
DeleteDarius, Commander of the Crimson Elites
DeleteNeed Commando Poppy. She has two Noxian skins already, but no commando. Also, Darius already has Lord Darius, Lord of the Crimson Elite (Hint: the red and gold are the Crimson Elite Colors).
Delete;A; My poor Soraka needs her remodel and a gorgeous new skin.
ReplyDeleteYep. Along with Karma. Maybe Riot is plannin "support Patch": Soraka remodel AND skin, Karma rework-buff AND skin, this new planned clear support [i hope water-style], and rework for 0cs, mentioned by some Rioters a while ago.
DeleteWell its like riot while back, no point making skins for old models, meaning the revamps will come first before they release the skins. This means karma and soraka.
DeleteI don't think a 'support patch' will come until season 2 ends.
DeleteYea, buuum. We have season 2 finals now :d
Deletedefinately need more skins for nidalee, trundle, taric, soraka, udyr, etc.
ReplyDeleteA new skin for Nidalee would be stupid at this point, the whole model is so old and ugly that only a complete rework can help... she needs it badly, her huge boots and clunky animations are disturbing, I can't even play her anymore.
DeleteI'm hoping they do a revamp of Annie's skins. The concepts are awesome, but she herself looks pretty off in most of them. Same for Caitlyn. Her best looking skin is the one they made a legacy skin, sadly.
DeleteSkarner got forgotten and left to die. Wish they are gonna release an epic skin for him.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I wanna see more crimson elites and battlecasts.
Ill post a link, but in the Battlecast Cho art you can see Skarner, and someone found an easter egg in the Cho stuff that hints Battlecast Skarner, Kog'Maw, and Anivia are in the works.
Deletehttp://euw.leagueoflegends.com/board/attachment.php?s=2f867b74c6ea46037cae8c185435d03f&attachmentid=95271&d=1343907441
Heres Skarner in the Battlecast Cho art.
Deletehttp://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7v56jffDQ1r39v4ko2_1280.jpg
Omg who found that easter egg?
DeleteBattlecast Skarner was teased in the Cho'Gath splash art
Deletepeople have known that for ages...
DeleteWhere is Draven/Darius crimson elites?! and need new skin for talon -.-
ReplyDeletetalon has 3 skins which in my opinion are all truly brilliant and each has a different fan club....
DeleteLol I agree my main is talon and he totally doesn't really need a new skin, but if they released a skin I guess it wouldn't be bad at all
DeleteLord Darius is Darius for the Crimson Elite. He's got the red armor with ornate gold workings on it. Those are Crimson Elite colors.
DeleteI just want a new skin for Lulu and Evelynn sooooo bad. I want bunny lulu, (she turns enemies into turtles or carrots) and when she self casts W she hops like a jack rabbit. For eve I want Olympic Sprinter Evelynn, her W makes her run like on Olympic athlete rather than a ninja, and her Ult is a Laurel Wreathe. It would also be cool if her Q was a row of Olympic torches. give me thiiisssssssssss and I will love you forever :D
ReplyDeleteomg well said! make this happen
DeleteGreat idea!
DeleteI want a Lux skin.
ReplyDelete..You know, one that doesn't suck after she was released. I have spellthief and love it to bits. Sorceress is also kinda nice (not my taste but its not bad).
But dear god commando and imperial are both terrible beyond hell. It's not fair she got given new skins but they were just so bad that next to nobody wants them.
At the very least I think the need to fix imperial. The colours and model look next to nothing like the artwork (i like the artwork apart from the face). Maybe just make her hair a bit longer and not so bright yellow/orange (its unnatural), fix the coolours and actually make the outfit look the same, and it'd be a good skin.
Her current hair is a recolor frOm the old model. Lux' look was changed after the community hated her. If you look at the old art, the hair from the model is CLEARLY a recolor.
DeleteWell nobody wants them.... that is totally wrong man, I have Lux commando and I have to say that I DO LOVE that skin
DeleteI think she looks cheap prostitute atm, i hate her face and design as well the hair. Chinese art was bit better though.
DeleteYeah, I actually like the Commando skin for her. That's the one I have...I think the model is pretty weak overall, but with some touchup, I love that theme and general look.
DeleteCrimson Elite Kat
ReplyDeleteWell they could show some love to Corki or Olaf who both don't have a new skin for a while :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I would like to see more Battlecast themed skins in champions that still don't have more than 4 skins :D
It's right.Battlecast skins are so good.They should make more.
Deletestill waiting on Lifeguard Renekton
ReplyDeletePentakill still need a drummer :(
ReplyDeletecould be a pentakill urgot.
DeleteRumble for pentakill drummer! Q are soundwaves in front, W makes a sound forcefield around him, and E throws his drumsticks. His ult i dont quite have worked out ^^
DeleteCorrect me if im wrong, but i thought all people with a pentakill skin were from the shadow isles idk where karthus is from though....
DeleteHope its pentakill draven, if they not all from shaow isles ..sona from the shaow isles o.O
Deletepentakill skins are from shadow isles ?
Deleteok then there comes hecarim xD
lol the one above me
DeleteZyra needs a new skin, hopefully this one.
ReplyDeletehttp://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=2543700
i love the idea of Zyra in spring! Like bubbly and cute with bright colors. I hope they snatch up that one.
DeleteThat idea is freakin' awesome! Though it sounds like that skin could be a Legendary or special skin rather than the usual 975 RP :(
DeleteA lot of the recent skins have been at what was legendary status, but cost only 975, so I dout it would be the full 1820, especially because it keeps Zyra's whole nature theme intact.
Deletean udyr skin with an special team of animals like dinosaurs etc.
ReplyDeleteudyr skin is in the works a few posts back it showed a leak from the guy that voiced him and he said hed been working on stuff for him and skarner
DeleteWanna know what I think? Wanna know what I think?
ReplyDeleteI think they should release more skins for champions who needs it and stop this bullsh*t excuse "we are working really hard!" when they turn around and give popular champs a skin.
Ziggs was released in January and has more skins than Karma.
There's a karma skin. well, it's supposed to be released (i.e. texture files were leaked) and it disappeared lol. i think it was bladedance karma or something. That just means they are upgrading it. probably going to be released with the karma rework/touchup that was leaked before.
Deletebesides, some of the champs are barely played.
Karma may be barely played, but she is my favorite and I, for one, want a new skin for her, instead of yet another Teemo or Katarina, or... I don't know, Jax! Seriously, enough of those skins for the same champions! It's frustrating, that's what it is! (Still... Halloween Yorick, anyone?)
DeleteI think they're just delaying giving skins to older champs (with the exceptions of the most popular ones) until their models have been reworked. That said, Riot do also need the money from skins, so it makes sense that they give skins to more popular champs.
DeleteSpecial forces or battlecasters
ReplyDeleteThe three oldest champions who still only have their release skins are Karma, Trundle and Rumble i guess? Tell me if im Wrong.
ReplyDeleteand which are the three most underplayed champions?... rumble is growing in popularity but he is still down near the bottom
DeleteUes! Finally someone mentioned Rumble. He needs a new skin. Here's a great one. Check it out at http://euw.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=615923 and at http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=1982206.
DeleteSpecial Forces Miss Fortune FTW !
ReplyDeletesoraka needs a skin!!!
ReplyDeleteLeBlanc needs a new skin as well...
ReplyDeleteI love how Riot posts are basically advertisement
ReplyDeleteHere is the thread, if you guys wanna get in there and show your support for these changes, and possibly a voice change! It won't happen without the communities support! :)
ReplyDeletehttp://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=2556029
I would like a Insect Queen Leblanc xD
DeleteHer Q would be shooting out a spider that clings on the enemy. If another ability is used while Q is on, the spider will explode, poisoning the target and silencing it.
Her W would be grasshoppers springing her to target location, dealing damage on impact. Leblanc can reactivity the ability to command her grasshoppers to spring her back.
Her E would be shooting a string of web. If a target is struck, the web would stick onto an enemy. A caterpillar would then crawl onto the string and after 2 seconds, the caterpillar would arrive at the victim and coil around it, snaring it.
Her R would be calling demon insects to mimick her previous ability, making it stronger.
Passive - same thing.
She would be dressed with insects. Something like zyra, but more 'insecty' xD I know this won't probably happen, but hey, it's a suggestion.
That's not bad for a suggestion ^^
DeleteI like that idea actually!
DeleteHow about a skin that just pays Homage to Queen B from darkstalkers.
DeletePersonaly I beleive Kayle need a new skin.They have't realesed a new skin for her since Season 1.If some1 is forgotten by Riot....its Kayle!
ReplyDeleteKayle is a forgotten hero.I know she is good,but not anymore.Why should they make a new champion skin?Sounds like you want to riot to make new karma skin
DeleteI'd love to see a Panda Volibear skin!
ReplyDeleteToo bad they already used that idea on Teemo. >.>
Deletei would like to see more skins of Fiora, Sejuani, Nidalee and Le Blanc.
ReplyDeleteBut what i want even more is REMAKES of Lux's skins
I'd definitely love to see a Fiora skin.
DeleteDiana needs a second skin now that they destroyed her Valkyrie one.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw the remakes Valkyrie Diana, I was also thinking "yea they really screwed this one up" but after that I realised that it was actually not bad.
DeleteI agree with both you. but honestly, I think that her skin isn't very "Valkyrie" like anymore. Her head thing made the skin. Now it just looks like regular Diana but in trashier clothes.
DeleteI hope ahri kisses a demon
ReplyDeleteAnd here I wanted riven to do that.
DeleteI think they should rework those old models.
ReplyDeleteThey are, it takes time :P
DeleteUNLOVED TRUNDLE NEEDS A princess skin or sth like that!
ReplyDeleteTrundle wants some love and a troll skin for trollin around! .. :(
"about champions, such as Udyr or Skarner, who don't have a very wide selection of skins."
ReplyDeletethey're right but still alot of champions have less love then udyr or skarner like taric trundle leblanc soraka karma blitzcrank tristana viktor and maokai
and some have too much love liek jax teemo annie fiddle.
i know some have remodels going on and i hope with those some new skins will be released.
i know it dosent make as much money riot guys but it'd be nice!
Yup, soraka def needs a new skin and so is Karma, Trundle, Rumble, LeBlanc (yeah she has 3 but only 2 avaible). Let's hope they don't make a Cass thing and release another skin like 135344 years away!
ReplyDeleteAlso Sivir and Nidalee need reworks for their models, I cannot stand those goat feet!
Goat feet xD
Delete1. Karma remake and skins
ReplyDelete2. Soraka model update and skins
3. Remake of all lux's skins
4. model update for nidalee
5. Skins for the forgotten ones D: NOT JAX, NOT TEEMO, NOT POPPY (oh god, poppy)...
Oh. I forgot the number 4.5:
DeleteSIVIR model remake and CHINESE SPLASH ARTS. Her current art is so UGLY
I AGREE 100%
DeleteAnd a new skin for Trundle!!!
U'd think they would release one, poor trundle :(
DeleteSo in other words, Soon(tm)
ReplyDeleteEvelynn hasn't had a new skin in almost exactly two years!
ReplyDeleteNew Sivir skin please!
ReplyDeleteThey'll get to making more skins, but first they are going to do a model update for Sion XD
ReplyDeleteAny links?
DeleteTiki Trundle ftw tiki totem for his pillar (surrounded by quicksand water and vines for the slow) then his contaminate zone could have some cool tiki tribal looking effects and the flames for his hair behind his mask could glow brighter while in the zone, then after he q's his club (which is made of skulls tied together with a bull skull on top) would have the skulls eyes flame.
ReplyDeleteepic make it riot
Deletele blanc NEEDS a new skin
ReplyDeleteI know Gragas is about to get octoberfest Gragas, but i want a Grimace Gragas skin, Nothing can kill the Grimgas
ReplyDeleteStill interested in what they're going to do when everyone gets their art replaced with the Chinese art. Take a look at Taric's.
ReplyDeleteTaric looks hot in the Chinese splash art but in game....eh.
DeleteNew Yorick skin... on of the best solo tops and no love skinwise... :oo
ReplyDelete(I know, pentakill is awesome,but I want moar)
Moar skins for Karma
ReplyDeleteI heard blade storm karma
DeleteIs coming soon ^^
Raccoon Twitch Plz!
ReplyDeleteHey don't forget Orianna and Viktor, they are my main ap characters!
ReplyDeletei know they released the bladecraft orianna, but it would be better something cute or "orianna before death". About Vktor, well he needs something super-badass!
How can Riot forget about Sivir? Her in-game model is terrible, in addition to her 3 horrible skins.
ReplyDeletePax Sivir.
DeleteIf you didn't buy it, then you missed out on possibly the best skin in the game.
Many of our champs just need a new voice/model.
ReplyDeleteLook at Vladimir. His voice sounds so..old.
Remember garen in pool party ziggs splash? He looks so young and handsome but he looks 40' plus in his model.
Taric also desperately needs a new model and splash IMO. He looks so ugly and peso looking -.-. His Chinese splash art looks so hot but the model is just pure shit.
I know making models and voice isn't easy, but they should spend more time on these things rather than skins. That's my opinion.
Pedo*
DeleteTaric doesn't care because gems are truly outrageous!
DeleteRocketeer Tristana. Make it a theme Riot.
ReplyDeleteI want teenage annie O_o
ReplyDeleteMagical Girl (ie, Sailor Moon) theme for our beloved female champs. Start it with Sailor Lux, then add it for Orianna (Pluto with Chibi-Usa's Luna-Puu ball), Janna (Mercury), Ahri (Mars), and Annie (they can model her after Chibi-Usa, and have Tibbers dressed as Tuxedo Kamen).
ReplyDeleteMake it happen, Riot.
YES.
DeleteI think a vandal trundle skin would work super well thematically so they should do it
ReplyDeleteI want a new skin for kayle~
ReplyDelete
