Soulhunter Kayn visual bug has been in the game for more than half a year and Riot doesn't care.

The skin has been bugged for like half the season, is noone reporting it? Or does riot actually not care anymore??

If you don't know what the bug is the tldr is that soulhunter kayn ALWAYS has rhaast's horns in all his forms on that skin.

Btw, it's been in the game since nexus siege was added as a LTM, which was in season 7. So it's been 2 years.

Wait this is a bug? I thought it was supposed to be there.

Base Kayn and Odyssey both have Kayn slightly corrupted by Rhaast. Base Kayn's entire left side is darkin, and Odyssey he covers his eye and his left side is metal. I thought the horn on Soul Hunter were meant to show that Rhaast is corrupting him but not in a physical way but an ethereal/soul way.

It's not. I got the skin when it first came out and he didn't have the ghost horns. Plus if you go Rhaast you wind up with a sort of weird double layer of horns. As for Odyssey Kayn I think that's just a future society fashion thing or he's missing the eye or something along those lines.

He's missing the eye because that's what Rhaast becomes. If you take Rhaast model and Kayn model and cut them in half and put them together, you get basic Odyssey Kayn.

Then by that logic if Soulhunter's splash doesn't have the horns floating why'd you think it was a feature? Also I think it might be a scanner,communicator,or something to that effect since Cosmic Emperor Kayn has both of his eyes.

I don't own the skin, and I rarely see it and I don't look at the splash but when I see the model in game I'm like "oh cool"

He's purified. Same with his base skin, he loses the corrupt darkin arm and goes back to normal.

Yea it would make sense like that, but it exists in the shadow assassin form too. SA Kayn completely overpowered Rhaast, so it has to be a bug.

You know while we're on the subject of Kayn how about Riot does something for when you ult someone but they die before you leave them. It's kind of f@#ked that you get nothing from ulting them but still have it put on full cooldown and get that weird muffled sound effect for a bit after being ejected from their bodies.

Yes!! You don't even get health off it as rhaast. At least make it not go on cooldown.

Riot has brand new skins that were bugged the patch after they released and they don't even care. High Noon Ashe's horse in the recall is stuck in the ground with no animation, Xayah and Rakan are buggy as hell, True Damage Ekko is looking to start having bugs where he isn't moonwalking on passive proc. Those are all legendaries too, the skins Riot should be creating as the most in-depth and polished projects, 1350s also have tons of bugs as you list here. A company that cared would go back and fix skins like Soulhunter Kayn, but Riot isn't even competent enough to follow up on products they just released.

I at first thought this was apart of a loading bug I had a bit back but yeah it's pretty f#@ked they haven't fixed it yet. On a side note you gotta admit it sometimes looks pretty cool.
