BIG DROP, FREE UNLOCK Ultimate and Mythic skins will now drop as auto-redeeming permanents (no orange essence required to upgrade them). If you already own the skin, you'll be able to disenchant the permanent for orange essence.
I have a DJ Sona skin shard chilling in my loot, will this shard get changed to a permanent to match the drop change?
No, the changes are not retroactive.
They said it's not retroactive which is really unfair because we are actually being punished for being "lucky" that we got a ultimate skin and of course we have to still suffer the 30% nerf to OE they made during the pre-season if we actually want to craft it, the worst part is that if they are going to give it for free from now on there's literally no reason to do it retroactively as well, but I guess you only deserve to be lucky if it's after 7/3/2018.
