http://i.imgur.com/HY802W3.gif Seriously Rito, well done. I am not even a Riven fan (I only got her because people tend to rage when you use her), but I fully intend to get this skin.
Riotmoonstones62 votesYou can thank one of our audio guys for that one - it's actually his voice! :D
CasterGilgamesh4 votes: o man i wish i had the money to buy this skin only have like 300 something rp XD well cant wait till i get it i really like riven now i know you might not be the one in charge of it but is riven getting any balance changes to make her early game not as oppressive but still keep her late game power?
Riotmoonstones11 votesI'm not sure about any balance changes. Sorry!
CasterGilgamesh2 votesdang well with all the complaining i guess its only a matter of time hope they don't over shot the nerfs
Sona Ping3 votesNot necessarily. Riot generally tends not to listen to QQ (Which is actually a good thing overall; we don't need Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab speed slowed to 1/3rd.).
Laughing Fish10 votesWell he did a damn good job. He earned One thumbs up. http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/839/671/554.gif
Lucian Shot 2pac6 votesLOL Riot only comments when they are getting complimented up the ass. But when players address ACTUAL issues.
Silent.
Not.
A.
Single.
Sound.
(zed reference)
Mistress Madoka6 votesNo, Zed isn't getting another skin yet, calm yourself
Jofeyy2 votes;_;
ArchShark1 votesArcade zed would be awesome
Mistress Madoka1 votesCongratulations, Now Zac is getting a New skin :3
Riotmoonstones32 votesAs others have mentioned, I'm a QA Analyst on the skins team, which is why you'll likely see me comment on skins-related content as opposed to balance. ^-^
The Ecdysiast2 votesAnd you don't work in the same building, so you can't ever even once suggest to anyone in any other team that they should look at the boards and see what your company's paying customers are asking for?
Biffolo9 votesYou should be happy she is coming on here to help out with and respond with what she can. Riot already interacts more with the community on a personal level than nearly any other company out there, and all you people want is more. I don't get it.
Senteth1 votesYou are definitely not a member of the warframe community. :P
Biffolo3 votes"NEARLY any other company". Also, I wasnt that impressed with warframes community interaction, there was quantity, but no quality to it.
The Ecdysiast1 votesI'd be happy if they had more than just one game to work on and could use that as an excuse. Maybe if we got real interaction with balance teams. But the fact she's all we get, and she doesn't have the job that we actually need to be talking to is a bit of a let-down as far as customer interaction goes. Try submitting a Support ticket regarding the game. You'll get the same, "Go to the forums" bullshit they always spew out.
And Interacting with the community more than other games also comes with them Ignoring the community's comments more than other game developers. What they NEED is a team specifically for looking at the forums for ideas, bugs, and balance suggestions. Several threads and emails from the support team have proven to me that that does not exist.
Plus there's the simple fact she didn't even bother responding to my original comment. Nice community interaction.
Biffolo1 votesAh, so now she is obligated to respond to everything you say. Like I stated before, most companies sit in the dark entirely. Are you not happy with what repetoir has been doing? He has been bending over backwards, going above and beyond for the garen rework. He even responds to things that he can't really help with to show it's being read. That is so far above what anyone expects from him, yet you are still going to not acknowledge what he does?
The Ecdysiast1 votesI don't have to be happy that a single person is doing an adequate job when the rest of them aren't.
Biffolo1 votesAnd as I said before, you should be grateful you get even that.
The Ecdysiast1 votesSo we should be grateful that most of the employees at Riot don't do good jobs... Okay.
Biffolo1 votesThey do a better job than 95% of other companies. THAT'S what I'm trying to say be grateful for.
The Ecdysiast1 votesNo. Better than a few video game companies maybe. Better than other companies in general, definitely not. I'm talking about the work of the employees as employees, regardless of the job. If you won't listen to customers in regards to a game, you might as well be disregarding them asking you to leave the milk out of the bags instead. Work ethic needs to be the same.
Biffolo1 votesIt really dosen't. Just because a limited amount of people WANT it to be like that dosen't need to mean it is. They can get away with this so why do they HAVE to do more because you say so? Most people are content with the way things are. Yes, on the boards and the subreddit some people get pissy, but thats not even 10% of the playerbase, and even then not everyone agrees with it.
The Ecdysiast1 votesBetter to reply to the players saying something than not to reply at all.
Biffolo1 votesLet me preface this by saying I appreciate that you aren't downvoting me for having a different opinion.
Now, to your point, from the consumers perspective that might be true, but transparency can kill a company. If riot didn't try and communicate at all no one would care they don't talk as much as one would want. Revealing too much can cause too much community unrest, because people are scared of change.
AMYS GRAVE6 votesit's cool Katey, we're happy to have you out here on the boards :)
Silent Pace1 votes[deleted]
Riotmoonstones5 votesHiya!
We'd talked about that, but are weary because Riven does kill quite a lot, and usually in a fairly quick succession. We decided against the counters because they got messy in combat, and made it more difficult to see what was happening under the counter.
As for the recall animation, it's a super cool idea, but not something we plan to implement for this skin. Although, it's something to keep in mind when we have similar instances in the future! :D
Rueian1 votesWhen i was looking over a skin preview i ALMOST thought that she was going to be able to switch swords with a /toggle after seeing the swords spinning around her.
Lugg21 votesRiven dying is always great.
OperationDEEZ18 votesI still like 
's more.
It's so satisfying to kill Ziggs. The death animation is the icing on the cake.
The Chuckler1 votesIt makes dying as him less painful as well :)
Morgy Morgy6 votesdont forget irelia stabbing herself with her own blades upon dying. that's pretty depressing.
CasterGilgamesh5 votes
Glory to God3 votesIn my opinion Irelia's is more cool, like she's suiciding for Ionia's honor. Meanwhile Trynda goes herp derp and throws it unnaturally then somehow it stabs him. Doesn't even kill him instantly. Waiting for a full rework with a SFX that doesn't sound like a bunch of cows in period.
7ha7guy7775 votesBut 
Vi and Cupcait6 votesThat's the most satisfying death
Arcade Andrew3 votesso now maybe riven players will feed me just to see that... about time.
AntiSkillshot3 votesI still say Rumble has the best death animation.
Artty of Alaska2 votesMy most satisfying kill: taking out a fleeing 
with 
's Q
Linna Excel2 votesI'm still waiting for Teemo meets a Fallout Style Bloody Mess.
Taredom2 votesOr 
impaling himself with his bow? I suppose it fits the emo theme of his default skin.
Only Play Darius2 votes[{quoted}](name=Laughing Fish,realm=NA,application-id=cIfEodbz,discussion-id=ulrM9BAU,comment-id=,timestamp=2015-08-06T12:12:55.537+0000)
(I only got her because people tend to rage when you use her)
This is how I ended up with 
. Twisted minds huh.
Nataan992 votesIdea: Have it display "TKO" if you die quickly after a "non-death" (Guardian Angel, Zilean ult).
Blue Moon Wolf2 votessome day I will buy all the arcade skins, I have every champ that can get them besides 
and 
... honestly I hate riven since she can rip apart my top champs with ease, but this skin might make me buy her .__.
The Ecdysiast2 votesThis means that Riven players will want to die more often. It is actually a balance change.
Krigjer2 votesI honestly prefer Sona's Game Over death animation.
Arcade Riven is too flashy to have a kombat style death animation. It doesn't fit imo.
