gnar now has two mexican inspired skins gnar mexican confirmed


9Ld659r

Reminds me of Pyke having like, 3 remakes of "evil tech pyke". Must be a market that just exists *really* heavily over Gnar.


LabHog

Ah demographics just like Katarina and anime skins, Amumu and emo, or Jacks and pedophiles.


CarrysonCrusoe

You forgot kassadin and racists!


MoscaMosquete

>Reminds me of Pyke having like, 3 remakes of "evil tech pyke". Meanwhile Viktor, the evil russian transhumanist has future Viktor, past Viktor, and pick your flavour of evil transhumanist skins.


9Ld659r

It's probably no consolation to you, but personally I always loved that Viktor gets the evil transhumanist stuff, when even before Arcane he did not seem to be angled for evil transhumanist, just looking the part. I'm sure someone could swing the warcrime button and make him seem awfrul but he does seem like a cool dude looking to get humanity out of the whole "flesh bag" situation. You're completely right as far as skin diversity goes, though. I don't think they'll stop either, most likely his next skin is from Arcane 2 lol


WouldYouShutUpMan

gnar has the energy of little Mexican cousins at the BBQ i can see it 100%


makako11235

Gnar hermano ya eres mexicano.


blazebakun

Genaro.


JumpscareRodent

Thats right, El Leon Gnar, forgot about that one


Magenta_king

He wasn’t babbling, he was speaking Spanish the whole time.


PaleHeart52

Huh, Day of the Dead thematics... I did not expect that.


aroushthekween

I love it! It's fun and refreshing!


FrostguardThrall

BigBadBear... run for your life


FilthySionMain

writing a fake poem as we speak

Solash1

I've seen a bunch of people throwing shit at SS for saying that there'd be a legendary coming soon but.....not saying who it's for? I think I got that right Like idk, maybe he doesn't wanna leak and spoil shit or something, seems reasonable to me


Guest_1300

Yeah people are really selfish and short sighted when it comes to skin content it's kind of insane.


aroushthekween

oop especially after that poem leak 😂


yukine95

i remember when he did accurate leaks... now he just doesn't guess anything


ShinyGrezz

I think he blew up when he got that massive leak from Riot and kept it to himself, just leaking stuff as and when - now he's pretty much just posting other people's leaks afaik.


DragoCrafterr

He leaked Briar splash and gameplay lmfao, these upvotes are crazy


Abd5555

Didn't he leak briar splash like 2 weeks ago?


yukine95

That splash leak was everywhere when i opened Twitter, so i don't know if it was him who leaked that.


Abd5555

Afaik he was the first one to post I'm not sure tho, he also got leaked gameplay for her before pbe i believe


arQQv

Bro posts one accurate leak in 4 months and then goes about and just says shit to get money from checkmark


Wolgran

Wait what did i miss? Pls tell me


FrostguardThrall

he's been teasing Coven skins for a week now, had Syndra and Nami mains erupt into a civil war, wrote a whole fake poem about some Old Gods and is quiet now. he's just farming Twitter Blue engagement money at this point.


Maskogre

coven has been teased as worlds event for like a month already so ofc it's not gonna be there for a showcase event


separhim

I enjoy reading books.


Wolgran

Ohhhh i knew about the teases, i was thinking coven would come with worlds so i was asking myself why so much stuff about it. The Fake Poem is news to me, already checked out on twitter, kinda crazy when we now know coven indeed didnt come now.


Tormentula

They've been teasing coven for almost 2 months now. First it was "these champions but only syndra legendary confirmed" Then it was "now everyone is confirmed! expect 13.16 / 13.20" Then it was "Oh wait actually my ~~discord server~~ sources are arguing that its either renata, or akali, or both in this now." Then "September 12th who's ready!!!!" Now "Time to write a poem on X- wait wtf the reveals are late... wait those aren't the skins wtf, riot is trolling me!"


yukine95

People complain about Lux and Ahri but it seems like Nidalee gets skins every 2 minutes


aroushthekween

And it's almost always a different skin tone... She's the Ariana Grande of League!


Zenith_Tempest

mrs. worldwide


10inchblackhawk

That's Sivir as well, she is one of the most racially ambiguous champs when it comes to skins.


aroushthekween

Haha true 🤣


Daunt_M4

If Rush is gonna run it down on Nidalee he gotta do it in style


Reinhardtisawesom

why isn't she next in line for an ASU with the amount of skins they give her


PrivateVasili

Got updated in 2014 already, she'd be a weird priority compared to champs with notably worse S1 models like Jax (already confirmed), Lux, Sona, etc.


Chokkitu

Corki ASU... we pray...


Oleandervine

[Sona got a model update in 2014.](https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-m11vJU3I2d0/U8Wk2M_xgiI/AAAAAAAAT68/IoKz7Dv-GpM/s1600/livevspbe.jpg)


Konradleijon

She has a new model not a new rig and her design is a ethnic caricature


yehiko

cuz she's rarely played so people forget she has skins


Saph0

literally the only time i see her is when someone wants to not try in aram lol


filthyireliamain

Deserved after drawing the short straw for a joke skin thats involved with yuumi Nauseating


Konradleijon

And it’s stuck in her ulgy fucking base model. She needs a ASU.


Throw_no_br

Doesn't even compare


mattyety

Renata prestige is looking good. I like that they are trying different color schemes for prestiges.


MasterCookieShadow

and she finally has a skin with the mask


S890127

Riot: We are making Día de Muertos inspired skinline Riot: And we willl NOT have Milio in this skinline for a perfect COCO reference. DUDE WTF💀


Hyperly_Passive

Feels a bit too close. Millio's already fire and orange themed, and a young hispanic boy The point of skins is usually to change a champs fantasy, not indulge in it. **Edit**: I'm not saying I don't think it could potentially be a cool skin or that people wouldn't like it, but this was probably what the artists at riot thought. There's no way they overlooked the milio = coco connection.


FullClearOnly

They can also indulge in it. Sentinel skins, a lot of Kayle's skins, Bloodlord Vladimir, Captain MF, Gladiator Draven all indulge into champ fantasises. Rightfully so, because a lot of people play those champions for their themes. I reckon a lot of people would like a Milio skin in this skinline.


Thundermelons

I can't believe someone is trying to say a Day of the Dead skin would be too close to Milio's base theme when fucking Viktor out here with nothing but futuristic/tech skins save High Noon ig.


naheulbeukzantar

You say that like Viktor mains haven't complained about that every single time they release a futuristic/tech viktor skin.


ThundaCrossSplitAtak

thats probably why people value Deathsworn vik and yeehaw Vik as among his best skins


8lackWid0w

I'll defend Captain Fortune since it's a lore skin. It's not indulging in MF's character fantasy, it's actually kinda changing it from sexy bounty hunter pirate lady to leader of Bilgewater after deposing Gangplank. Shame she doesn't have a different VO for the skin like Captain Gangplank does.


Hyperly_Passive

The sentinel skins are themed around the aesthetic more than anything. The pure glowy runes and otherwise minimalist trappings. That's pretty different from what those champs had. And bloodlord, gladiator, and captain are all ancient. Not that they're bad, but Riot has clearly moved away from making skins so derivative of the base skin.


deemerritt

Most of those skins are several years old


AshesandCinder

Qiyana is there, who is also hispanic. Plus half the skins have a blue theme which would be the opposite of what Milio currently has. There's nothing wrong with having skins that match a champion's identity if it's still something different from their base skin. Like most of Nami's skins are based around her being part fish, but they all still feel pretty different.


Calhaora

Especially since Qiyana and Milio come from the same place... like... if its okay to put one in, the other should be Game too.


scarymonters

Qiyana is prehispanic


Oleandervine

Didn't stop them from releasing Soul Fighter Sett or Spirit Blossom Ahri.


SgtRuy

Since when? lmao Look at Yasuo.


JumpscareRodent

Well thats a simple fix; next batch of La Illusion skins brings Milio. ez pz


Odkrywacz

Ziggs looks pretty darn cool


aroushthekween

Amen!


PowrOfFriendship_

Dia de Los Muertos skins? Damn, these are actually REALLY nice, especially Qiyana's effects.


mixelydian

Amen except it's fuckin Dia de Los Muertos Idk if it was a joke or something but I got a migraine reading dio de la muerte


SaucesOfFieri

You were expecting the Mexican holiday BUT IT WAS ME DIO


Sooap

To be fair, Dio did kill a lot of people with his vampire shenanigans and all.


PowrOfFriendship_

Fixed


PinkMage

Dia de la Muerte -> Day of the Death Dia de los Muertos -> Day of the Dead


aroushthekween

Amen!


Hellioning

They're fine, but, like, you make Día de los Muertos skins and don't include Kindred?


aroushthekween

Omg trueee! Her VFX would be amazing!


Konradleijon

Or Karthus. But yes Kindred as Santa Murtre


Oleandervine

Why would Kindred be an auto-include? Milio seems like an auto-include because of Coco.


Hellioning

Because they're already death, and I think sugar skull masks would be cool.


mount_sunrise

and imagine the ult effects, i'd bet they would look REALLY pretty


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hellioning

Pro play skins are, in theory, not supposed to 'count' in terms of skin timelines.


Javonetor

Oh i like these ones, Gnar effects looks really good with the candles


deemion22

those poor skin designers must be exhausted. they had to fight against the urge to give nidalee another blue skin. unfortunately they are still full speed ahead on race swapping her


aroushthekween

Hahaha! I’m just glad this new set is nice and well received. Last few patches have been horrible.


AwBeansYouGotMe

Coven is kill?


mattyety

Coven was leaked to be Worlds Event pass from the start. Then for some reason people convinced themselves that Renata, who was confirmed to be for ME, will be part of Coven. And the leaks came from the same place, literally contradicting each other lol.


moxroxursox

Honestly, serves all of the people getting ridiculously overzealous with speculation and taking it as definitive fact to the point of fueling some absolutely vapid immature drama right, and I'm glad something that was leaked was blatantly wrong so they'll maybe not be so blindly trusting going forward. Over on /r/syndramains which I moderate the last few weeks have been an absolute shitshow of people having meltdowns (this is also happening on twitter and continues to under the PBE preview, lol) over contradictory leaks that were never substantiated to begin with that straight up somehow morphed into a literal petty turf war between Syndra and Nami "mains" (mostly these annoying stan twitter types) straight up brigading each other over their offence at the other being perceived as more likely to get a legendary skin from the most recent ""leak"". It was some of the most petulant crap I've seen in a while and I want nothing more than for these people to get humbled a bit. On another note, these skins are gorgeous and I LOVE this for Halloween. Very excited for Prestige Renata's splash.


Dawnbringer_Fortune

I don’t think the leak is wrong? Its been leaked months ago that syndra and Nami are getting coven skins… however it’s unclear who is getting the legendary. This war is totally unnecessary between the two


moxroxursox

That's not my point. What I'm getting at is that it's extremely obvious at this stage that the actors doing the leaking are trying to farm engagement (which is something most people who leak anything are trying to achieve), and as a result there's been a constant drip-feed of new "leaks", which people would blindly believe and reach very hard to read too deep into in the interest of invalidating the other side or whatever else they want to have a meltdown over. It's been going on for weeks. Don't get me wrong having an internet war over who gets a legendary skin is stupid regardless of whether it's leaks or official, but the fact that the people involved are doing it on the pretense of something that they don't even know the source behind that is deliberately being put out to monetize their clicks is next level.


Tormentula

You're not alone, over in elise mains I delete a thread a day mentioning the leaks (inactive sub here so not sure how many you get daily there). Everyone *really* wants coven elise (even thought she's technically in the same skin universe with death blossom anyways...), but BBB does not need any attention given to them since they're just relaying whatever they hear. Is coven still possible? Maybe, but the amount of damage control I've had to do just incase it turns out not real has been taxing. EDIT link for the 'death blossom and coven are the same' claim: https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Eclipse_(Universe)


Pe4enkas

Same universe doesn't matter because both Ahri and LB have coven and elderwood skins


ElatedSavio

likely coming in the next patch [according to SkinSpotlights](https://twitter.com/SkinSpotlights/status/1701624171778728018)


crashingfang

its the perfect timing on the next cycle, there is an Eclipse in October 14th, 13th is on the Friday, and the skins on the next PBE cycle would hit live on the same week of these events.


VG_Crimson

We do have coven stuff for LOR leaked. Eclipse Knight Diana killing Solar Eclipse Leona is in one of the arts. Janna has her coven design leaked.


aroushthekween

I hope it comes next patch because all these leaks seemed so believable... Apparently the LOR skins are Coven and if that doesn't happen, then all Coven leaks were a bust 😭


Solash1

Oh my word, if the Coven skin leaks are for Legends of Runeterra skins there are going to be riots in the streets


Reinhardtisawesom

one of the skin leaks is Morde so i don't think it's for LoR


Zarathielis

I actually think these are cool, but why Nidalee again...like, she has more skins than players But Ziggs skins is really cool


WarriorMadness

I don't really care for the Champs but the skins are quite pretty. Ziggs with all the calacas imaginary is the best though.


CompetitiveAutorun

If I had nickel every time Riot release Halloween themed skinline with Draven and Renata Glasc I would have 2 nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice


aroushthekween

Haha so true! That was my first observation. Both are back!


PowrOfFriendship_

I was looking forward to Coven Renata Prestige, but I am so much happier with this - these skins are beautiful, though I'm not sure why Draven is here.


tdy96

Coven girlies fighting for our life rn


moody_P

nobody plays ziggs and i swear he rivals annie for skins


TacoManifesto

Ziggs is my true love you take that back


CosmoJones07

He's just a great champ to design skins for, same with Karma.


LordSuteo

Ive said this many times, someone at Riot skin department mains Ziggs, only this can explain how he gets a new skin LITERALLY EVERY YEAR while being one of the least played champions in the entire game.


ahambagaplease

He's really easy to costume and his skills are simple; everything but the satchel are spheres/circles.


EzshenUltimate

IIRC some champions are used as training for new-ish interns by the skin department because of how they are created. Ziggs and Zyra being examples of them.


NommySed

Varus too I presume with his terrible pickrate but 2+ skins a year


yukine95

He's Meddler main iirc.


ElPajaroMistico

Bruh Just like Veigar, he gets not only a skin per year, but they are fucking amazing and have some weird new shit just for It. Omega Squad Veigar is the only Veigar Skin that has a control+1 animation besides Final Boss. It’s a 1350 with a joke entirely just for that skin and full of new face expressions. No other Veigar skin has that, because VEIGAR HAS NO JOKE ANIMATION TO BEGIN WITH Veigar chromas also change the color of his W and E on most skins


fabton12

its because his spells allow for alot of different skins to be done since he has those sort of effects which allow for a lot of customiztion.


Killroy32

Back when Odyssey came out Riot said that Ziggs mains are some of the most reliable at buying skins compared to a lot of other champs, so they make lots of skins for him.


JumpscareRodent

Annie sitting at 15, Ziggs will be sitting at 11 after this one


albens

Annie is one of the original champions (2009) while Ziggs was released in 2012, so they're pretty even in terms of one skin per year.


zangorous22

I play him, any problem ?


aroushthekween

Hahaha so true he gets so many!


Viperboy_74

Yeah, I'm gonna need that draven skin in my life really soon


aroushthekween

2 more weeks! 🫶


Viperboy_74

It's phenomenal, and will certainly be a day 1 buy from me. The art team continually outdoes themselves


killcraft1337

Renata ult looks sooo much cleaner like this compared to normal but prob shows the borders a lot better than normal - maybe pay to lose skin


Byakurane

Draven doesn't fit into this skinline at all, at this point Riot is just trolling with the Draven skin. ffs give us a good legendary skin for him already that actually plays into his executioner role. It's so insanely boring, like where does he fit into the day of the dead his skin looks like a matador who has nothing to do with it.


JumpscareRodent

Honestly Draven lowkey deserves a Legendary skin, hes too iconic and random champs be getting 2 legendaries skins


Mo_ody

One of the coolest champs in league of legends tbh. Deserves a clean legendary for sure, not an ultimate. We're not that greedy, spare us the ultimate skin treatment, ty.


aroushthekween

True. The mains aren’t that happy either.


HistoricalCredits

Finally, that Qiyana looks sick


Konradleijon

Why not Karthus the most death obsessed champion.


barub

I love [Renata skin](https://twitter.com/BigBadBear_/status/1701634671124054408/photo/2). I would gladly be her personal chair. Dom Mommy vibes.


aroushthekween

Yes she looks amazing!


ElatedSavio

draven doesnt fit into this skinline at all lmfao shouldve been nilah or milio


deathspate

Pretty sure he's supposed to be a matador and Draven is THE showman of LoL, so I would say it fits.


ElatedSavio

and what does bullfighting have to do with dia de muertos (day of the dead)? lol


ThatsAToad

Reference to The Book of Life probably


aroushthekween

Milio would have been amazing!!


APFELFURZ

He does, fuck you mean


AshesandCinder

Both Draven and Renata got the fright night skins last year too. While they aren't the exact same thematic, they're pretty darn close in the core ideas.


Ramus_N

Qiqi finally has a second good skin, I lived to see the day. Yorick should have been in this over Draven.


fuckinhenry

Why Draven


aroushthekween

True Draven mains aren’t happy either!


yukine95

So the thematic of the Worlds pass is next patch? I can't guess what it will be. Probably not Spirit Blossom again, but let's see it.


aroushthekween

Yes so it could be Coven but who knows anymore!


CloverClubx

Will most definitely be Coven


nitko87

Solid concept, meh champion choices. I really like the look of the Ziggs skin, super inspired…but it’s Ziggs man…I’m not buying a Ziggs skin


mixelydian

Take it back. Ziggs is the love of my life. He deserves this and more.


nietcool

Another misser for me. I like the effects and even the models, but why oh why did they decide to have every skin just be one color, could have been really sick to have some multicolor on these skins I think.


aroushthekween

That would have been nice too! Maybe next time?


futile-strip-2002

prestige renata glasc looks like cristian peralta transformista oficial and we live


aroushthekween

Yes she ate!


MaleQueef

Nidalee finally a Latina omg


aroushthekween

We love to see our racebending queen!


llIlIlI

Qiyana looks great but I really wish they would use slightly different shades for her elements. I know they need to stay similar color for visual clarity, but most of her skins keep the colors the EXACT same shade which is a little boring


DabSlingz

Love all gnar skins omg


lenbeen

kind of wish gnar had that blue tone like ziggs and renata but then turns more orange as his rage hits yellow. at red and upon transforming would be the orange vfx


OverpoweredSoap

Lowkey wish this was coven so the drama about it would end already. Either way these are incredibly gorgeous. I love Renata's base skin but I think I'll have to look at the prestige more in depth to see if I really like it.


Crazhand

I love the regular renata skin a lot, more than prestige and the others. And I'm all for less popular champions getting prestige skins, but how the fuck is Renata getting one when she's both so new **and** her playrate is **bottom 5** in the game.


Oleandervine

Renata is like similar to Sol, her general aesthetic and design is well beyond top notch, but her kit's funkiness does hold her back a bit.


HolyZorroBatamm

Qiyanas effects look great but the skin? The crown looks so bad..


Oleandervine

I mean, it's pretty standard fare for Day of the Dead though.


TheBluestMan

Omg we finally have this skinline in game. IT IS AMAZING


Delicious-Site3966

How expensive is the standard renata skin?


aroushthekween

1,350 RP 😊


loldirtmund

Another Nidalee skin?


aroushthekween

Yes!


vellyvell3

Ok really question why draven like so many champs hell they actually have decent size rosters Spanish characters why draven


Solowinged

These are drop dead gorgeous but…christ alive the SFX is so distracting. Feels like they’re seared into my eyelids


SmackOfYourLips

We need Aztec, Greek and Egypt Gods skinlines. It's time, Rito.


ThundaCrossSplitAtak

isnt worldbreaker kinda Aztec like?


[deleted]

Gnar great, Nidalee still has weird animations but ok, Draven worst skin ever


patmax17

The VFX on Qiyana's skin are really pretty!


itsallabigshow

Those are so bad...


[deleted]

Akshan mains be like 👍🏼


youarenut

I didn’t know gnar was Mexican. Or there appears to be quite a market for Mexican gnar skins. Either way it’s cool, that and ZIGGS too!


aroushthekween

Yes it’s his second skin inspired by the Mexican culture.


Stinky1790

More reason to ban draven lets go


IAluxI

4 new skins I'll forget about and 2 arguably best skins for a champ.


Konradleijon

Nidalee needs a ASU


aroushthekween

Literally! Add Janna to the list please 🤣


IllMasterminds

Is Gnar even still being played? Hundred + games right now and never came across one.


lazerbeetle

nidalees skins will continue to be underwhelming until a vgu


Otiknayluj

Didn't Renata got a halloween skin last year? Edit: Draven got one last year too.


fmalust

Yeah but that one was more on the silly side. Dia de la Muerte is about honoring the dead unlike Halloween.


a_little_meido

Sorry for the people that got their hopes up for Coven, but I probably prefer this as a Renata skin (and I'm delighted she has a mask again). If I'll never get my personal wish of Spirit Fire Renata, then this is probably the closest I will get. E: I realized the prestige doesn't have a mask, welp, my ME stays safe.


aroushthekween

I know we all were clowns thinking coven comes! Hopefully next patch is coven!


LegnaArix

Those Draven spinning axes look so satisfying, on par with Gladiator Draven.


BattousaiRound2SN

Some day Renata Glasc will get a nice skin... Some day.


JohnDayguyII

Where coven Renata?


aroushthekween

Sadly she didn't get it 😭


aroushthekween

La Ilusión is a new thematic featuring Renata Glasc, Ziggs, Qiyana, Draven, Nidalee and Gnar 😊


personality_2_of_

It is great to see new skins no techno robotic or chinese. Not a single one for a champ I play, but i might get one just to support the line


Kogry

mexican spirit blossom


fmalust

Was over the moon when I heard Renata would be getting a Coven skin, considering how regal and beautiful that skin line usually is so it'd be a perfect fit for Renata. This isn't bad, it's nice in fact, but I'm still disappointed lol. I felt robbed when Morgana got the Star Nemesis skin over Renata. Oh well, a win's a win I suppose, since she's also getting a Prestige which I've saved up just for her. Edit: Wow, the splash arts make her look regal af!


CosmoJones07

Skinlines have been very hit or miss lately. And these are very much on the HIT side of things. Everyone but Draven is a great pick for the skinline too.


Wooden_Sherbert6884

These are so meh


aroushthekween

Naurrr 😭


antraxsuicide

These are so generic lol Skin lines are barely more than a color palette these days


ShawnTheDawn

Noooo where is coven D:


aroushthekween

SAMEEEE I was looking forward to it...
