[LeBlanc - Major Skin-Select Bug] Riot has a problem with 'False Advertising'

See the differences? The 'Original' preview for Chroma Packs looks a lot smoother and nicer then what we actually get in game. If you need confirmation that the preview is different than the live version look at the pant leg: the preview only has 3 swirls while the current model has many more, the gloves also have an strap in the preview and none in game, the new one has no buttons while the current has buttons on the sleeves and the breasts look less... flat.

This is false advertising! The textures are a lot smoother, more visually appealing and obviously already made so why are they not applied to the in-game model?

Please update the model with the actual textures, I don't know if someone forgot to or if it was intentional - but I don't like being lied to and I don't think the community does either.

Hey The Pale Woman,

Would you be able to point me in the direction of where you found the first image?

The official chromas launch page showed this image when the chromas first went live, which isn't the same image you're providing. These screenshots are what should be used to showcase the chromas/base skin, as it's what you'll get in game.

LOL King isn't something that Riot owns or operates, but they do pull the models from the game, and in this case, is what our preview on the chroma page displays.

I'm more curious as to where the first image came from, since you're correct in that it doesn't align 1:1 with what you're seeing in game.

Thanks in advance!

Have you ever been to McDonalds?

Hey again,

I wanted to pop in and give you an update of where we're at with this. I caught up with the chromas pod, and they stated that the texture update was completed, however, was improperly checked in, making it so it didn't properly show up in game. This is why the store asset (which is created using an out of game model) was correct, and the in-game model was not updated.

They've gone ahead and properly checked in the file (and I've verified that it's in game now), and should look like this:

Unfortunately, this didn't make it in time for the 7.11 build, but will go out with 7.12. The changes themselves will be on PBE today, though.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

So..... Which one is the "original" and which is the "preview"...... Because they look fairly similar to me.

The things you pointed out I do not even see...... Tbh the top one I can slightly see an issue with her breasts, but thats just because it looks like they are attached all the way up to her shoulders...... And that took a while trying to figure out your commentary just to find that one.

Are you sure you are not just trying to see how many will try staring at her chest trying to figure out what you are even talking about?

The bottom picture is from lolking, not Riot, how is it false advertising for previews from 2 COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WEBSITES to be different?

I was more disappointed in the fact the hats included I thought the skin would look a lot cooler w/o it
