Champion Skins

Five new skins are now on the PBE!

Pool Party Heimerdinger

1350 RP
"Through the combination of precise schematics and top-of-the-line construction tools, Heimerdinger's next sand castle creation will be his grandest iteration yet! Assuming Syndra doesn't land on it again..."

Here's Riot KiWiKiD with a bugs & feedback thread for Pool Party Heimerdinger:
"Hey All!
Pool Party Heimerdinger is building turrets on PBE. He'll be coming with:
  • New models and textures!
  • New VFX!
  • New SFX!
  • New recall animation!
Pool Party Heimerdinger will be 1350 RP and is available on PBE! Feel free to leave any feedback or questions you have down below!

Pool Party Jarvan IV

1350 RP
"For Jarvan, there's nothing more relaxing than hanging out at the beach. No kingdoms to run, no thrones to sit on (save for his favorite beach chair), just the sound of the waves and, if he listens closely, the faint whistle of a volleyball being spiked directly at him..."

Here's Riot KiWiKiD with a bugs & feedback thread for Pool Party Jarvan IV:
"Hey All!

Pool Party Jarvan IV is striking onto the Rift! He'll be coming with:
  • New models and textures!
  • New VFX!
  • New SFX!
  • New recall animation!
Pool Party Jarvan IV will be 1350 RP and is available on PBE! Feel free to leave any feedback or questions you have down below! 
Edit/Update: Hey guys, told the team some of ya'll really wanted leg hair and while the votes were very close, democracy decided that Pool Party Jarvan was to not have leg hair. Sorrryyy to disappoint, cheers ya'll and thanks for the feedback."

Pool Party Orianna

1350 RP
"With her latest outfit, Orianna is finally able to submerge completely in aquatic biomes. This brings her great joy, as a day at the beach previously required subsequent weeks of scrubbing salt, sand, and sometimes an angry crab out of her gears."

Here's Riot KiWiKiD with a bugs & feedback thread for Pool Party Orianna:
"Hey All!

Pool Party Orianna is now on PBE! She'll be coming with:
  • New models and textures!
  • New VFX!
  • New SFX!
  • New recall animation!
Pool Party Orianna will be 1350 RP and is available on PBE! Feel free to leave any feedback or questions you have down below! 
Edit/Update: Hey everyone, just wanted to update what's to be done about Pool Party Orianna: We decided not to change her hair color as we have plenty of hair color changes with her chromas already. Looked at the VFX & SFX suggestions but a lot of ya'll wanted to keep it how it is so no changes there. Might tweak either the model skin tone or splash skin tone pending approval. 
Thanks for all the feedback, you all!"

Pool Party Syndra

1350 RP
"Now that Syndra's aced all her opponents, it's time for her final test: prevent any rogue volleyballs from hitting her friends. Again."

Here's Riot KiWiKiD with a bugs & feedback thread for Pool Party Syndra:
"Hey All!

Pool Party Syndra is spiking on PBE. She'll be coming with:
  • New models and textures!
  • New VFX!
  • New SFX!
  • New recall animation!
Pool Party Syndra will be 1350 RP and is available on PBE! Feel free to leave any feedback or questions you have down below! 
Edit/Update: I know ya'll have been waiting for this comment so here it is: 
Starting with the bad news: unfortunately I must say we will not be removing her horn due to silhouette read and some players like the tieback-into her lore... however hope you all are happy with the following. 
We've heard all your opinions and here is what we will be changing or adding to Syndra:
  • Adding sand to various VFX starting with Q
  • Adding some transparency to the end of the towel-cloth
  • Adding a slight rotation to the beachball when it is idle on the ground from Q/W.
  • SFX addition of a subtle ball sound/slap on the Q.
We hope these updates will differentiate Pool Party Syndra from Atlantean Syndra (very valid comparison) and make her awesome for ya'll. Thanks a lot for the feedback!"

Pool Party Taliyah

1350 RP
"Taliyah once attempted to describe surfboarding to a perplexed Jarvan, using such terms as “get pitted”, “tubular”, and “ride the barrel”. She's pretty sure he still has no idea what she was talking about."

Here's Riot KiWiKiD with a bugs & feedback thread for Pool Party Taliyah:
"Hey All!

Pool Party Taliyah is rocksurfin' on PBE. She'll be coming with:
  • New models and textures!
  • New VFX!
  • New SFX!
  • New recall animation!
Pool Party Taliyah will be 1350 RP and is available on PBE! Feel free to leave any feedback or questions you have down below!"
