Champion Skins

Four skins are now on the PBE for testing:

King Viego

1350 RP
The heir of Camavor, wielder of the Blade of the King, Viego longs to follow in his father's footsteps. To his advisor Kalista, his doubts were clear long before his coronation, as whispers of the sword's bond echoed throughout the Sanctum of Judgement. But he wears the Argent Crown, and with his blade, Sanctity, Viego will strike fear into the enemies of his nation.

Here's Riot DW Platypus with a bugs & feedback thread for King Viego:
"We were beautiful once." 
King Viego comes with: 
  • New models and textures!
  • New VFX!
  • New SFX!
  • New Recall!
King Viego should be already available on PBE! Feel free to leave any feedback or questions you have so far down below! 
Riot DW Platypus"


Zenith Games Blitzcrank

1350 RP
Originally a bomb defusal robot, Blitzcrank was made a referee because of his ability to make split-second adjustments to stay ahead of the prodigious athletes. Only later did everyone realize that the bot's background made him unusually effective in defusing the intense... disagreements that often arise.

Here's Riot DW Platypus with a bugs & feedback thread for Zenith Games Blitzcrank:
"Precisely." 
Zenith Games Blitzcrank comes with: 
  • New models and textures!

Zenith Games Jayce

1350 RP
Jayce invented Hammerjack as a showcase sport for humanity's new augmented abilities. Nothing else tested athletes across so many directions and terrain, and with this being its first year in the Zenith Games, he intends to show everyone what THE sport of the 22nd century looks like.

Here's Riot DW Platypus with a bugs & feedback thread for Zenith Games Jayce:

Zenith Games Lee Sin

1350 RP
Martial artist Lee Sin's focus on overwhelming his opponents before they could react had won him many championships, but also burned him out. Realizing that his strategy had been rooted in fear, he augments his body not to give himself more strength, but to concentrate his mind and senses.

Here's Riot DW Platypus with a bugs & feedback thread for Zenith Games Lee Sin:
""Master yourself, master the enemy."

Miscellaneous

  • Skinline descriptions:
    • Ruination
      • One thousand years ago, the last king of Camavor chose to follow his heart at the expense of his country. So powerful was his love that fate intervened, and only ruin followed.
    • Zenith Games
      • It's 2122, a year of firsts for the Zenith Games. Robot referees are taking to the field, the sport of Hammerjack is making its competitive debut, and after years of talks, augmented humans are finally allowed to compete. All that's left is seeing who will win.
  • Blitzcrank skin bios tweaked (updating pronouns):
    • Goalkeeper Blitzcrank: "One of the all time greatest keepers for Chaos FC, Blitzcrank has finally taken their place in the Sports Hall of Fame. Their image rests proudly with the likes of Volleyball Dragon, Women's Tennis Scuttle Crab, and Badminton Baron Nashor."
    • Boom Boom Blitzcrank: "Their fists are named “boom” and “boom,” proving that robots are a perfect facsimile of human life."
    • Battle Boss Blitzcrank: "A boss hailing from a popular science fiction shooter, Blitzcrank is well known in the gaming community for cheap mechanics, powerful attacks, and a massive health pool. Veigar fittingly made them the gatekeeper of his personal fortress, because Veigar hates fun."
    • Zenith Games Blitzcrank: "Originally a bomb defusal robot, Blitzcrank was made a referee because of their ability to make split-second adjustments to stay ahead of the prodigious athletes. Only later did everyone realize that the bot's background made them unusually effective in defusing the intense... disagreements that often arise."
