Twitch main here (who happens to already own all of these skins), while it brings me great joy to see the rat getting this nice tune-up and see these great skins become available to hit the rift for more people, will Medieval Twitch ever become available again? I know the classic response is "at some point in the future", but I mean, c'mon, Medieval Twitch even got a splash update as well but it's not included in this bundle. I was super close to getting the skin through the refer-a-friend program a while back, but the plug was pulled before I could reach my glorious goal. Long story short, I would love to have the opportunity to get Medieval Twitch again and complete my collection, and I'm super upset that is not the case here :(

It was from the refer a friend and will most likely never be sold because of that. As I said earlier in the comments. ITS MINE I LICKED IT! Twitch Also the reason they won't sell grey WW or pax/riot skins. (they better not sell pax tf or ima be pissed.)

ThaurronNov 9, 20161 votes

And Human Ryze (now Young Ryze)

EvilUnicornLordNov 9, 20163 votes

I really want that one.

I'm not even that good at Ryze, just ok, but it would be just awesome to have it and chill.

Woodsy04Nov 9, 20164 votes

Yeah, it just sucks that it was an arbitrary matter of timing that prevented me from getting it. It's hands down the skin I want most in LoL. FeelsBadMan. Hopefully one day.

Twitch I WAS HIDING

The reason they won't sell PAX skins is due to legal issues with PAX, not riot unwilling to sale them. Riot has no control of them unless they want to risk lawsuits or they gain permission to resale.

Medieval twitch is just a skin that was never meant to be limit, that became unjustifyingly unlimited just because the service it was involved with had issues. The skin itself has no reason to not be on sale or given a new method to get since its in riot's full control.

They've said they are looking into it actually with all Limited skins/Give Away/ect. So PAX skins may be available in some way in the future. Plus it's more so they have to understand how they will affect people that already own them not PAX or anything like that.

No? Medieval Twitch was a special from the system created by two people who reached the original threshold. Pick a champion and skin concept for him, and they'll make it. The reason skins like Rusty Blitz, ufo corki, medieval Twitch are limited has less to do with an unwillingness to sell them, but the fact they just shouldn't be sold. Everyone had a chance to get them for a long time, and I'd hate it if they took that away because the skins tied to people who were x good at the game or played for y length of time is something unique and meaningful.

The best Victorious skin was Victorious Jarvan, and I've seen it TWICE playing this game since mid season 1. That said, I wasn't good enough to get that skin, and I'd view it as an injustice for it to be sold or gained somehow now.

Regarding the skins that were limited to their time like King Rammus and Medieval twitch: no. Just because a character gets a visual upgrade or new splash art doesn't mean the public should now get it. I'm moderately upset that championship riven was resold AND I don't play the champion (I simply suck at this game).

It's an unpopular opinion, and you can laugh it off as "special snowflakes," and maybe to some extent it is, but the value of a skin which indicates a player has played since some bygone era is one of the few ties players can still demonstrate.

TormentulaNov 9, 20162 votes

Skins are special yes...

but idk where I said "sell victorious skins" aka achievement skins..

Achievement skins =/= limited skins

Personally I'd die for a chance to get past victorious skins through other achievements (hell, give me the option to get victorious elise for challenger, I'll never sleep til I get there), but the difference is there is no "achievement" needed for pax or medieval twitch. They simply exist for everybody to get. Difference being.. the methods in which you could get them were (unintentionally) discontinued and there isn't a replacement method.

Championship riven was a limited skin only available through code, and was in fact intended to be limited forever; but here it is as championship riven 2016 in shop.

PAX skins as I stated, would require significant terms to be resold due to PAX itself..

Medieval twitch has literally no excuse for there not being a "medieval twitch 2016" or just resold in general besides "it was a unique system". The skin wasn't limited until the service died, and that was never planned originally.

Its not an unpopular opinion that skins should be special, but there is a big difference between medieval twitch and victorious jarvan.

LofiathanNov 9, 20161 votes

(I managed to get the skin, and I really hope it becomes available again so that way you get to enjoy it, It's actually pretty cool!)

WulfyNov 9, 20162 votes

It won't. Riot announced "achievement based limited skins" would not come back. Medieval Twitch and Grey Warwick are under that category, as are victorious skins, ufo corki, etc.

TurlwynNov 9, 20161 votes

Actually Victorious skins are available in the 2016 preseason.

ZèxNov 10, 20162 votes

? i don't think so

HydroTwinNov 9, 20162 votes

It actually is possible to get the skin right now. A friend of mine got a shard of it in hextech crafting, which isn't a reliable way to obtain it, but I like you play twitch a lot and have all the other skins already and wish there was some way to obtain it other than the fully random hextech system.

What about Galio is he ever gonna get that promotion?

EmojayNov 9, 201611 votes

Probably when his rework comes out! Either this year, or early next year,

EvilUnicornLordNov 9, 20165 votes

Am I the only person that really likes Galio the way he is right now and has high hopes for his rework?

His passive is a good AP counter but seems a little outdated, tbh.

His Q is his main source of damage, but it's really mana hungry and just feels lame.

His W is awesome. Please don't remove that.

His E is close to useless. Sure, movement speed buff but it's just not as good.

His Ultimate is priceless. Landing that five-man taunt (and your team follows up by proceeding to destroy them), nothing feels better.

And, lorewise, as long as he's still best friends with Poppy, I'm chill with it.

KamikazekidGCNov 9, 20164 votes

Galio is way too counter-mage for my liking. Getting 50% of mr built as AP is ridiculous.

EvilUnicornLordNov 9, 20162 votes

True. His W should be enough of a defensive tool, that's why I said his passive seems a little outdated.

ThrobbinBeefNov 9, 20166 votes

I've yet to see a response for this but: What is up with Pantheon 's splash art? It's looked different in the shop for months but has never been updated.

Poffy PandaNov 10, 20162 votes

Oh god, I thought I was the only one who noticed that.

OhiknoNov 10, 20162 votes

SilentParrot6189Nov 9, 20165 votes

I just recently got Twitch out of a Hextech Champ Shard. Then immediately after, I got Whistler Village Twitch from re-rolling skin shards. I think Rito's sending me a message

Colorful DreamNov 9, 20162 votes

And then they update the splash for that skin, yeah. Time to main the Rat Twitch

BlazinJesterNov 9, 20164 votes

Twitch Plat main here (who happens to already own all of these skins), here :( Please for the love of god return his Q back how it was in season6. This update completely takes away his assassin ability and play potential

BellowsNov 10, 20162 votes

Completely viable the way it was, now hes not slippery like hes supposed to be....

BlazinJesterNov 11, 20161 votes

upvote main comment to get their attention plz

SebaceousNov 10, 20162 votes

dude i completely agree. it just ruins his reset, once you pop outta stealth people are going to focus you, so even if you get the kill for it they are close enough to see you. its some serious bs

hopadopagopalasNov 10, 20162 votes

camo feels so useless on twitch right now i used to be the god of invis escapes but now that's like impossible. and they changed his q so that his invis could be used more in fights yet they changed his stealth to camo which isn't meant to be used mid fight? you can't have it both ways RITO

MonotonousGNov 10, 20162 votes

Beside his killer remake skins, any1 else feel twitch got nerfed a little? I am a Twitch main but I'm leery of using him cause of his camo ambush rework. Can't be a kingpin if I can't go outta sight.

BellowsNov 10, 20162 votes

the camo instead of invis is a huge nerf. They need to revert it, he wasnt even op, now its so hard to run away, AND THATS WHAT HES SUPPOSED TO DO!

ßrayNov 9, 20161 votes

My friend got whistle village from a crate now the skin's for sale lol. He's so salty.

Agent Tex13Nov 9, 201611 votes

If he got it from Hextech why be salty he basically got it for free and the bundle will have a discount for him, so I see no logic in being salty. Even if he bought hextech crates he still got a lot of stuff that amount to more than what he bought the crates for.
