Can people who bought the PROJECT: Yasuo skin get the first strike border on him?
Edit: A while back Riot gave the original owners of some 34 skins (now legacy) a border to show they originally owned them. So why can't those who bought Project: Yasuo within a few days of it's release get a first strike border on him? Link http://www.surrenderat20.net/2013/10/plan-for-vintage-limited-edition-skins.html
ham døg2 votesTheres no first strike on yasuo...
Riotmoonstones7 votesThis is correct. PROJECT: Yasuo does not have a First Strike loading screen. At this time, there are no plans to give him one.
Bolwinkel5 votesOk, I was just wondering since he is part of the whole PROJECT.
Stars Shaper3 votesAre there plans to make him part of the epic feeling of all the others project skins? It seems pretty unfair to leave him out.
Riotmoonstones4 votesCurrently, we do not have plans to do so.
Ultîma2 votesHey Katey, is it at least being considered? Adding a texture at the loading screen that doesn't require localization (no words) doesn't seem like it would be a big resource investment for how much it would make Project: Yasuo owners happy =/
Riotmoonstones2 votesAt the moment, we aren't considering this.
Bolwinkel1 votesWhy is it that this happened http://www.surrenderat20.net/2013/10/plan-for-vintage-limited-edition-skins.html to the original owners of some legacy skins but this isn't being planned for yas?
Riotmoonstones1 votesPROJECT: Yasuo isn't a limited/legacy skin.
Stars Shaper2 votesThen I would suggest not to release any skin that would be part of a skin line if it was released in the near future.
Riotmoonstones1 votesWe we created PROJECT: Yasuo, we didn't have any other PROJECT skins in development. There was a year gap between the release of PROJECT: Yasuo and the new PROJECT skins.
This is definitely feedback we can consider for future lines of skins, though.
GhostOfShrimpmas1 votesSo, if I could ask, what was the reasoning behind making the PROJECT skins the same skin line as Yasuo, but not including him in the event? Was it just assumed that most people wouldn't care?
Riotmoonstones2 votesIt's not that we thought people wouldn't care. It was something that was brought up. Ultimately, we decided that he would not be part of this promotion.
Stars Shaper1 votesYou had a really productive spree with the new skins then, happy about that.
But consider also old skins of the same line for the next time because feeling left out of your own skin line is really depressing. It doesn't have to be the same thing for every1. I didn't want the screen border for Yasuo (even fi I wouldn't have said no if that had been the case xD) but make said guy/gal have a role in it and not just an out of focus appearance in the splash art.
Riotmoonstones2 votesBased on the player reaction to this, it's something we'll be mindful of/consider if we plan to do something like this in the future.
Stars Shaper1 votesGlad to hear that.
Anyway, the Project skins are really good and I'm having a good excuse to play Yasuo :P You did a good job overall^^
Bavacavalata1 votesis there any now that there are 3 more
Riotmoonstones1 votesI'm not sure what you're referring to here, would you mind clarifying?
Stars Shaper1 votesSorry my other comment wasn't to be ironic or anything, I just misread xD
Well... It feels a little weird and not right since Yasuo was the first of the project skinline. If it ever was in plan that said line would have an event and such then you could've waited for the skin to be released. If there wasn't any plan (of which I doubt though because you don't have 6 skins ready in such a short time without planning) it would still be fair to give Yasuo some space in it.
Bavacavalata1 votesdo you have one now in 2016?
Riotmoonstones2 votesOh! Yes, there is a PROJECT: Yasuo border now!
Bavacavalata1 votesI'm not educated on how to get it, so when it comes out, how do I get one, if I am eligible to get one
Riotmoonstones1 votesYasuo is getting First Strike treatment but we'll be giving it to all PROJECT: Yasuo owners, including those who purchase when this is live.
Harukishi1 votesWill Yasuo be getting a project icon as well?
Riotmoonstones1 votesNo, but these are the icons that are coming out this patch.
Harukishi1 votesIs there a specific reasoning as to why he is the only skin in this line not getting an icon?
Baron Von Bangin1 votesThe problem with going back and giving a border to the people who first bought PROJECT:Yasuo is the sudden implementation of an "exclusive" element that didn't exist at the time of release. Such bonuses might have influenced potential buyers for collection/status reasons. Suddenly adding a collectors element to the skin that didn't exist prior wouldn't be fair to those that would have purchased the skin had they known about an exclusive feature.
That being said, I wouldn't be adverse to them adding a purchasable first strike border to his splash during the time of the "First Strike" event.
Baron Von Bangin2 votesI knew this would come up.
PROJECT: Yasuo is different from a limited Edition Skin. Limited edition skins had the exclusivity the moment they were announced and released. PROJECT: Yasuo did not. That skin was never intended to be a collector's item like limited edition skin were. Changing some thing that was supposed to be special into something available to everyone made them go back and give something additional to the people that bought it during the initial deal, when it was supposed to be unavailable after purchase.
This is different from PROJECT: Yasuo. When it was released, Riot never made any claims that if it was bought during its first week or when it first came out it would have some kind of special border or would only be available during that time. Going back and making it special to previous buyers when it was never advertised as such doesn't make sense. It would have to have had this feature on release, and not having it could very well have been an influencing factor for potential buys to not drop RP on it.
PROJECT: Yasuo is not a limited edition skin and does not get the limited edition skin treatment. Sorry.
Similar, but key differences.
