Riot any comment on the major clash between Sejuani and her new frost armor vfx. A lot of players can agree that the blue on most of her skins dont match, for example the blue frost armor on Sabretusk Sejuani.

Ditto. I have thought this for a long time. Braum Braum and Lissandra's Lissandra similar ice effects change color with skins. Why not Sejuani Sejuani ?

Sukishoo2 votes

Lissandra 's skins are 975 to 1350, so they are meant to have effect changes.

Sejuani has skins range from 750 to 1350... so some of those don't get effects. The only one that could have changes is Sabretusk being it's 975.

I'm sorry but that just sounds like an excuse to me. Warwick's visual update made most of his skins even the cheap ones look amazing, Tundra Warwick is a 520 skin and it has new particles and looks freaking fantastic. All of Maokai's skins this update look great as well. Yet pretty much all but Sej's Bear skin skin have no changes, no particle updates or adjustments, they mostly look just generally lazy and awful. I'm not certain but if I recall correctly only 2 of her skins are 750, Bear is 1350, and the rest are 975. However even if they were all 750 I still argue they should still look well made, and the new frost armor visual they're adding should be made to look good with each skin. There's lots of great content in league that looks great, so I ask why would I pay money for something that doesn't look good because it's "cheap"? An example of a good 750 skin in my opinion? Trundle's 750 officer skin, it gives him a fun new pillar particle that's a traffic cone. Seriously try selling me on why I should buy any skin for Sej that's not Bear Calvary. I don't think you you'd be able to sell me on most of her skins sadly, I love Sej a ton and she's one of my favorite characters, but I'm better off spending money on other skins.

I did say some, I didn't say all of hers as yes there are two 750s, Dawnchaser and Beasthunter. However Riot generally doesn't give new particles to lower tier skins, being 390 to 750. They more so do that when it's a Quality of Life thing and WWs would fall under that. Warwicks were rare because of his visual update as Riot agreed that there was something off with them https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/ZGU806gf-warwick-skin-feedback so that's why they updated those like that.

If they had done this for Sej it would have honestly already happened during said PBE cycle, and I'm just guessing they don't seem them as a problem. Most of the community doesn't either as I haven't seen a large amount on it like there was for Warwicks. It's a much smaller group this time.

@Sukishoo: Not sure why I don't see an option to reply to directly but oh well. I get what you're saying however my point is that Warwick is in my opinion proof that Riot can do a really good job on skins. He was a special case you say? And Sej is a champion that deserves nothing? Left to be lazily slapped together and pushed out of the PBE with basically no changes? I'm disappointed. Also you say the majority of the community doesn't care, well a majority of the community doesn't even play Sej, and most of the other people I've seen that do play her are also disappointed. Guess us Sej players don't matter, shame that I'm not a Warwick player since they're clearly more important. At least Maokai players also got a ton of amazing new particles and visual updates that match each skin this update.

Sukishoo1 votes

That is weird... then again these boards always have some kind of issue. Anyways.

I'm a Sej player myself and I enjoy her update, in both gameplay and visuals. I do agree though that they could have given something a little more fitting for Sabertusk and even Beast Hunter with the Passive but aside from that aspect I think they look fine. Riot chose not too however and I didn't really think much of it, it's not something that pushes me away from using those skins though.

Sorry, but I'm not really understanding why you're complaining. Warwick had his own massive update, and had a way bigger timeframe to get his stuff taken care of. Why? Because it was a much larger project. These kind of reworks are on a smaller scale because it's for more than one champ, and hell you're lucky Sejuani got refined designs/splasharts at all. Between the Marksmen, Assassin, and Mage Reworks, only Malzahar even got a new splashart, and even then it was only for his original. He doesn't have a perfect set of new Splasharts like Sejuani. I'm a huge fan of Talon, but I didn't get any visual updates, or splasharts until the release of his blood moon skin, but I'm not gonna go and compare his rework to Galio's? I'm sure at some point they will get around to little details such as this, like how they changed Taliyah's Face, or Ezreal's Q design. But complaining that champions with larger reworks got better stuff? Come on. And I'm not sure if this acc is your smurf, but according to it you don't even play Sejuani like that. You'll be aight.

@Sukishoo: Sorry the late response, but I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying her. I still simply think they could have done better, I do really love Riot and I feel like when they really put effort into something it's very obvious and feels like it's crafted with love. @Saihara: Class Updates usually add particles, they usually adjust those particles depending on the skin, Malz could use some love I agree tho.

Zoezy1 votes

It doesn't matter. Either way, class updates don't usually even involve new splasharts excluding Malzahar. Sejuani is lucky to even have gotten this kind of stuff, and I'm sure they will get to the rest later. These are (not) Large scale reworks, and are not going to be treated as such.

Sukishoo1 votes

Well Sej and Mao got their splashes because of their previous VUs (2013/2015) as at the time Riot didn't do that to all those who had received changes in the past. Mal was just so that his matched his newly textured model.

There really should be a report button built into the threads on these pages. Or at least a quick way to link to it in the boards.

That Traditional Sejuani is a must buy...

As soon as I get home from work.

The splashes look amazing! Props to the Riot artists!

Osaka Trade4 votes

Can the legacy skins be bought seperately ? I just want Traditional Sejuani! D:

will sofa2 votes

Also wondering this. I want that splash, but I'm not gonna spend 4000 RP on it

Sukishoo1 votes

Looks like you can only get them through the bundle, nothing shows up in the skins tab of the store. So you might be out of luck?

Osaka Trade1 votes

Festive Maokai was unavailable to buy separately as it was legacy skin, but it was adding to the store separately (just checked.) They might be adding the skins separately but over time I guess?

Update (4:03pm est): Haunted Maokai was just added to buy separately. Assumption is they just started adding the skins to buy separately as it wasn't added in yet. Hopefully they'll add the Sejuani legacy skins tonight. :D

Sukishoo1 votes

Maybe. But hers still aren't there so that's a bit odd.

Sukishoo1 votes

All the skins are in store now, so they can be gotten.

Dropsmack1 votes

I hope so. It would make sense since Traditional Trundle Trundle and Traditional Karma Karma were both available individually.

Forbidden Siren1 votes

It doesn't look like her legacy skins are available yet to be bought individually but Maokai's legacy skins are right now. So maybe it'll take a few hours for hers to come out.

Xypher5 votes

They are available now
