New Skins

Arcade Ahri

Here's Riot LoveStrut with a bugs & feedback thread on Arcade Ahri:

"PLAYER 1 SELECT: Arcade Ahri 

“If you’d like to play with me, you’d better be sure you know the game.” 

There are no cheats or strats that can stop Arcade Ahri from getting what she wants, especially in the video game world. Arcade Ahri has Spirit Rushed her way into her favorite game, so hold onto the heart capsules you have left! You never know when they’ll be charmed away~ 

Arcade Ahri will be 1350 RP* and includes: 

• Brand new model and textures! (AND THE TAIL, IT CHANGES COLORS!)
• All-new VFX! (Pixelated orbs, pixelated hearts, pixelated everything!)
• All-new SFX! (16-bit, enemies gettin’ hit~♫)
• New recall! (Arcade Ahri takes game immersion seriously. ;]) 

We always love the feedback and feelings that you cuties provide! Any bug reports and thoughts help guide us toward ways to make these skins even more awesome, so please keep 'em coming! <3 

Thankies!"

Arcade Corki

Here's Riot Time Wizard with a bugs & feedback thread for Arcade Corki:

PLAYER 3 SELECT: Arcade Corki 

The letters "CRK" have topped the scoreboard for ages. None have been able to outplay this veteran pilot! 

Some say he's been zipping around since the 8-bit days, but one thing is certain: Corki is proud to put the "old" in "old school." 

Arcade Corki will be 1350 RP* and includes –

• New model and textures!
• All-new particles!
• All-new sound effects!
• New recall and updated animations!
• A ship with turn tech and BARREL ROLLS!

As always, we look out for all bug reports and feedback, so please feel to share your thoughts and/or questions in this thread! 

*Prices on PBE are subject to change."

Arcade Ezreal

Here's Nurse Flan with a bugs & feedback thread for Arcade Ezreal:

"PLAYER 2 SELECT: Arcade Ezreal

Arcade Ezreal has teleported into a video game world! He's picked out his favorite abilities and is going for that high score! Watch out, Arcade Ahri! 

Fun Development Fact: 

That is the actual model of the old, old Dragon in the Recall! It has been shrunk down and texture pixelated to match the "retro" arcade theme! 

Fun Arcade Ezreal Facts:

• Completely new model! (so JRPG!)All-newVFX! (we love our pixels!)
• All-newSFX! (digital pew-pews!)
• New recall! (it's over 9000!)
• Set to be 1350 RP (pricing always subject to change) 

We'd love to hear your thoughts and feelings on the new Arcade Ezreal as you take a first look at this in-progress skin! The feedback and bugs you leave here will help us get a better idea of things we may still have to take a look at. :] 

See you on the Rift!"

New Summoner Icons

Four new arcade themed summoner icons are now on the PBE to go with the new skins!

New Chroma assets added

New sets of assets for upcoming chroma for Arcade Miss Fortune, Cottontail Teemo, Warring Kingdoms Xin Zhao,  High Noon Yasuo, and  Shockblade Zed are included in today's PBE update but they are NOT ENABLED FOR TESTING YET.  We'll have preview videos and screenshots once they fully hit the PBE for testing.

These come along with changes to availability and pricing, including individual purchase, more options per new chroma, and windowed IP sales. Context post on Chroma returning available here.

Champ Finder feature testing soon. 

Here's Rayven with a request for feedback on a new champ finder feature being tested on the PBE:

"Hey PBE Folks! 

In the middle of a team fight or after a Blitz pull, it can be tough to keep track of your champion. We're working on a small feature which displays a self-only visual effect when you press and hold spacebar (or whatever your "center camera" hotkey is set to). 

We’re looking to get feedback on our current approach, so on PBE, this feature will be on by default for all players. Very interested to hear your thoughts on visual quality, readability, and usefulness. Is it too loud? Does it get in your way? Do you not even notice it? 

It'll be available soon, so try it out and let us know what you think."

This new option can be found under Notifications in the Interface tab.
 and when enabled, centering the camera puts an indicator around your character - circle below and arrow above.
