I was binge playing the new ranked que for league
Had problems getting skins to work for project zed
had same problem getting skin to work for pool party graves ( said something liek zde/graves_summonerchampionname_skin4 )
after those 2 gamesi played another graves game, selected pool party graves. when i loaded in i had riot graves...
all sound effects and animations worked fine.
everyone could see the riot graves skin.

I'm pretty sure this is something that you would be concerned about as a company.

This new champion select can be buggy as shit. I know Riot wanted to release it in time for season 6 ranked, but I think they should've waited until they fixed more bugs before they put this out on release (not being able to select Chromas and ward skins was also another issue). It's a gorgeous champ select, but after the initial hype, most people are realizing that Riot has shipped out an incomplete product and people are already expressing their distaste for it.

You are right but we shouldn't criticize them for it. remember when they released team builder? it had tons of bugs. Everything they release is bound to have some problems. Maybe the que wasn't getting enough attention to actually find most of these bugs. Anyways i just hope they can figure out what causes this bug and fix it.

I agree. Everything on release is going to have bugs. I think it's just that people expect to receive less buggy features from a company running a game this big and when they find bugs - some that are easily replicated and seem pretty darn obvious - they go directly to criticizing Riot for not fixing these problems sooner.

Honestly, had Riot released the new Champion Select with a notice saying that it still needed to be worked on, had bugs and etc, reception for this would probably be a lot better. It's literally a matter of how you present something to the public.

You're right, it is about presentation but i think its about how you take it too(:

This happened to me in a similar fashion, I switched champs with a friend in the new queue and when the game loaded up we both had a random skin

It's happened to me when I was with my friend with Fizz and Fiddlestick.

My friend got the ''Chroma pack Fizz (yellow)'' and me, I got ''Bandito Fiddlestick''.

We were in the new draft mode and let me tell you what we did:

I picked Fizz for my friend (I was the first or second pick)
My friend tooks me Fiddlestick.
We traded our champions before the game start. (I was on my skin ''CottonTail Fizz'' before trading)
I picked my skin ''UnionJack Fiddlestick'' and my friend friend does'nt have skin on Fizz.

During the loading, I saw that it was the wrong skin and in game, everybody can saw that i had ''Bandito'' and my friend ''Chroma pack (Yellow)

We tried again but it did'nt worked.

(Sorry if my english is bad but I'm French).

To Resume

TheMrDodue: UnionJack Fiddlestick ----> Bandito Fiddlestick

ToXcPhil2: Fizz -----> Chroma pack Fizz (Yellow)

So me, and my friend found out how it works,

Pick a champ you own with a skin, select it and chose the skin. (lower the popup)
You trade with someone, don't open the popup where you chose the skin.
Finally, you will get the skin in the SAME spot as the skin you had on the other champ. (if you take mecha Kha'zix, you'll get the first skin of the champion you traded with, Have fun while it works!
