SKT Skins with a twist, Can a Rioter get this thro to the design team to look at ?

So SKT won worlds, the skins IMO should be: (with the twist at the end of the thread) Top for MaRin, he showed exceptional performance on her throughout worlds. Supp for Wolf, he actually said that he wants to see SKT Ali ADC for Bang, no team allowed him to pick her, professionally undefeated on Kalista Jungle for Bengi, his most used champ in worlds 2015 Mid for Faker, only one who played Ryze in worlds 2015, he did well with him

Fiora, Alistar, Kalista, Elise, Ryze are all champs that dont have the "team" skin yet too. The twist is that these champs spell out Faker XD

also, SKT Azir for Easyhoon

I wouldn't be surprised if Marin requests Maokai, as that's his most dominant champion and he was something like 15-1 on him in the LCK. Maokai or Rumble would be my guess. Bengi also played a lot of Rek'sai and Evelynn this year.

I also wonder if Faker will ask for Ahri again.

I really really really really hope he ask for Ahri.

I'd rather she just have skin... and nothing on top of it.

Any chance on Riot reverting the Dynamic Group crap in solo queue ?

One of the most complained about aspects of solo queue was the duo queue portion of it. Why on earth would you people choose to expand on the part most people voiced displeasure with ?

What does Riot have against solo players ? Why are you guys punishing us ?

I was looking forward to all of the awesome changes and improvements within the client and the new team builder style queue, but Dynamic Groups completely ruin it. If this goes live I will never play ranked again and I am so disappointed in you guys.

First I have to point out that I'm a concept artist on skins so I am not involved with any of the preseason changes. Speaking personally I am really excited about this because being forced to play a competitive team game by myself was my 'least favourite' experience I've had playing league. I was even hesitant to duo queue because I heard it increases your MMR. I think that ranked should reflect how well you play all aspects of League of Legends including communication and teamwork and not just how well you can stomp/carry.

Do you honestly feel skillful when you are duo queue and pug stomping people ? Do you not realize you are utilizing advantages that the other player does not have or have access to ? You honestly feel good about abusing one of the more shady features of solo ranked ?

I can understand people wanting to play with there friends, the vast majority of people who queue in groups are not friends. Those types of people are the same people who swap to whatever champ is fotm, these are soulless elo seeking people who care only about what advantages they can secure for themselves and care not for the good of the game or there fellow players. I only play solo, I do not wish to play in a group. I have always felt like duo queue was "cheating". This game already has group queues for 3s and 5s and you can play several different modes for fun in normal games. There are plenty of options to play this game in a group of "friends", while there are no options for those seeking to play a team game solo.

If Riot wants to make some type of flex queue it should be a different queue than solo queue. Allow people to queue in groups of 2,3 and 5, but do not put those teams into solo queue.

Why remove solo queue ?

Does Riot not understand how many people this will alienate and what this will do to high elo game play ?

Does Riot not understand how much toxicity this will add to the game ?

Why does Riot want me to feel / be completely helpless ?

How can Riot not know this is already the worst part of ranked (duo) and normals (2,3,4) ?

In this game duo queue is one of the most complained about aspects of ranked.

Having a duo on your team and winning is not fun. Having a duo on your team and losing is not fun.

Look at every other single online game and you will find the exact same complaints from people. Coordination is unfair vs uncoordinated people and many people such as myself have no desire whatsoever to queue in a group. The rare times I have done so in wow, I felt so dirty. I honestly felt like I had injured the integrity of the game and my own integrity (the things you do for girls).

This game needs a solo only queue.

Sorry for the rant, and thank you so much for taking the time to reply with your honest opinion.

I totally understand! We're here because we are passionate about LoL. I trust our gameplay team if they think this is worth trying, and as Pwyff mentioned it's something we are testing but if it doesn't work out for the better it can be reverted/changed.

I hope you are right, but I feel you are not.

I think if this actually goes live a lot (think wotlk > catyclsm type change in terms of people leaving league) of people will stop playing this game. Reverting this change will not bring them back, it will only anger the people who actually like the change. Riot has created an issue where there really was not an issue (except for duo). To me this is a grave issue, one that could spell real disaster for Riot, this is the type of change that is game breaking for many many people. Maybe I am alone in this opinion and this will work out fine for Riot, I just have never seen or heard of another game where something like this would not be looked upon with disdain.

Kindle, I hope you have a great day man (or lady) and I am sorry if I insulted you earlier.

I actually don't know just yet so I won't speculate. But if we were to do five then the mid would reflect both player's contributions to their success, so there is zero chance of a player not being acknowledged.

We ask that they pick a few options so that we fit the skins into our pipeline. With how far ahead we plan skins there are often good reasons why we can't commit to one exact champion.

Yet again putting explicit major spoilers directly into the Red Tracker. Again, I will be downvoted and harassed, and again Riot will change nothing.

Edit: Sorry, that sounded too hostile. I'm not saying Riot is evil and awful, just that this keeps happening and it's incredibly frustrating. It sucks that wanting to keep up with general game info (big new preseason patch, Harrowing, etc.) means that I can't get half as much enjoyment out of Worlds, and Riot is apparently just kinda fine with that. It's a bummer, and I'm buttmad.

Except that you guys nerfed Maokai to shit, so anything that happened before patch 5.16 is irrelevant. He was literally 100% useless during worlds and is still useless now. Also, Marin asked for Renekton because juggernaut patch was unbelievably unbalanced.

Maybe you guys could let him help design a non SKT skin if he can't use her for his team skin.

BlainezyNov 2, 20155 votes

I hope they give easyhoon a skin too though. He played his fair share and did a lot for the team

Jin KazamaNov 2, 20152 votes

I thought the skin went to whichever champion they won with, which would be Gnar for MaRin, Elise for Bengi, Ryze for Faker, Sivir for Bang and Alistar for Wolf.

DJColdCutzNov 2, 20151 votes

That's what I thought too, but then Marin won with Gnar, and Rito is too pussy to make another complicated, two form skin.

I get that Faker is a good mid laner but come on... I hate how he gets so much hype. His team is good too why is he the center of attention? ;-;

LuggNov 4, 20151 votes

Even though his season (IMHO) was quite sub par for him, his previous seasons more than justify him being considered the best player ever.

His teammates are still good. He may be the best but they're probably way up there, considering they stomp every team every game they're all probably in the top 10 best League players ever. So Faker is the first and they're 10-9th, so what? Its still crazy good and I don't see why Faker is the absolute star. He barely even talks, why aren't his colleagues getting as much attention?

DJColdCutzNov 2, 20151 votes

That's pretty creative. I like it.

FowusNov 2, 20151 votes

I think Marin could be Renekton or Rumble he's probably not going to get a Fiora skin because of project Fiora getting released pretty recently

TurquoiseYoshiNov 2, 20151 votes

That is awesome, but I think somebody said Renek was getting Marin's skin.

RezlacNov 2, 20151 votes

For adc+supp that's what I was thinking but I was leaning more on azir mid and rumble top(and i haven't the faintest clue on JG tbh) because the skins aren't generally chosen because of theyre usefulness in the LCS but because of how much the player uses that champ. I don't think i ever saw singed used during last year LCS but he still got an ssw skin.

An Angry KayleNov 2, 20151 votes

yeah, i'd prefer not to see an skt azir skin, i dont need nightmares about one of my favorite champions, they already did that with vayne
