Riot, I know a lot of people give you crap for your choices ... but I applaud you for stepping up your game and giving a single champion 10 skins in 1. People say it's chromas but the voices / particle effects / change in clothing & hair / ect. is incredible and far worth the 3,200 RP. I salute you guys.

How did you come up with the "elements" used?

Also, can you give us the list of names you are giving to them, I saw two that resembled fire, but I want to know what they are actually called.

I just wanna know what inspired the idea. This skin is incredible. Life changing or something. I might have to rob a bank to make sure I have the RP for release.

Does she have different death animations for each element ?

This is great and all, can't wait to hear and see more....And I understand Lux doesn't have an ultimate skin yet but can we like....make more skins for Champions that hardly have ANY recent ones like say...EVELYNN! Common lets work on her ;) ;) .

Could you give us a comprehensive list/name of the different elements or styles that Elementalist Lux uses? Any particular reason you chose these designs? What's your favorite element?

Final Spark Lux11/8/2016, 7:43:04 PM6 votes

Thanks Rito. This'll make all the money I've invested into your company worth it, even if I have to invest a bit more to have the skin. Who needs to eat when you can have an amazing Lux skin \o/

Are you gonna make the Pulsefure Ez skin more... ultimate

Thunderbird33011/8/2016, 7:46:12 PM5 votes

Just a detail question; on the teasers, ten variations were shown, but I seem to remember the "element selection menu" only showing four at any given time. How exactly do we select each element?

Also, how many unique elements are allowed per game? My best guess is three, but I could be wrong.

You'd make more money if you didn't pick a champion that already has a really nice particle-and-VO-changing skin... And I'm sure your data shows something along the lines of, "people buy Lux skins," though to interpret that as incentive to make more Lux skins is odd. People like the skins she already has, if that's the case. Making a more expensive skin when people already own or have a good option for a lower cost skin won't translate to much profit. To pick champions who already have good skins for only slightly better skins is almost as bad as Smite's decision to make any and all Ultimate skins limited-time-only.

Why can't we be able to transform into all forms? Why does it have to be limited?[zombie-brand-mindblown]

If Lux is Riot Tryndamere's favorite champion and, Ashe is Tryndamere's wife can we assume that the magma elemental Lux is roasting Ashe because of the problems present in political marriages and secondary love interests? If so that would be fire! It would also make the bedroom life even more icy.

Can we expect a TV spin-off?

This video has all 10 forms for the Ulimate* Skin Elementalist Lux, the forms are, Light (00:00), Air (2:22), Fire (4:27), Nature (6:24), Water (8:24), Magma (10:35), Storm (12:47), Mystic (15:00), Ice (17:19) and Dark (19:32).

*I see what you did there! :)

Without being able to zoom in to get the full details of every model, I don't get all the details, but...from what I see, this skin is truly (truly, truly) outrageous! From a technical point of view, this skin is hands down your best creation yet.

Even the HUD icon changes, something I really missed with DJ Sona (though I modded it to reflect the Concussive; my favourite).

New particles all over the place, different recalls with every form, even changing voice lines with the different forms. "KA-BLOOM!". Well played. xD

If I may nit-pick a bit, I am missing some additional audio effects with the different forms: Some random rustling trees and/or tweeting birds in Nature form, the sound of rushing waves in Water form; the odd crackling of fire in Fire form; some gentle echoing sounds in Ice form (though I may just have gone full Ice Cavern on that last one); the bubbling of lava/rumbling of the earth in Magma form; and the rushing of wind; odd boom of thunder and crackle of lightning in Storm form. Not sure about Mystic form, but the audical equivalent of sparkling stars could be fitting.

Nothing too emphasized, just some randomly appearing background SFX for Ele. Lux. Just loud enough to let your subconscious register it for what it is (so it won't be distracting in any way), unless you listen really intently.

I have to admit I haven't seen through it all yet, but I hope her voice pitch will particularly change in Light/Dark forms, to reflect a sense of "spiritual elevation" (high pitch) and "darkness will consume you! Bwahahaha!" (low pitch), preferably with some really unique voice lines, but I suppose that is a longshot to wish for. :)

To those to claim this is just a bunch of Chromas: get glasses or get stuffed! And also, I for one really like the anime styled HUD portraits.

EDIT: She shouts "GEYSIR!" when ulting in Water form? Really? You're spoiling us here! :D

Okay, I just want to know one thing (no, not if you will be having the chicken or the sea bass...): http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/memes/ncQIg6GJ-its-not-a-phase-mom?comment=000b00010001

EDIT 2: Okay, so the beforementioned desired sound effects are in the abilities (E, primarily). I guess that's the easiest way of implementing something like this.

Love the voice on the Storm ult: https://youtu.be/v2AC41dglnM?t=110

EDIT 3: Okay, I got nothing. :| Dat darkened voice when ulting in Dark form...

##Release date, please.

EDIT 4: ...There is one thing left: I'd like some music happening when dancing. Preferably with changing pitch and tempo or different pieces alltogether when dancing in the different forms.

Once we get to the final element form, can we switch to another one in the same match? Or is that the final form for the rest of the match?

Of course with there being a new Ultimate Skin, there HAS to be new dialogue as well, yes? If so, let us know some! [slayer-jinx-catface]

Why did you choose Lux as the next champ to get an ultimate skin?

Interesting! Riot I love you! Love League!

Ozimul11/8/2016, 8:13:41 PM2 votes

The skin's cool and all and I applaud you guys throwing 10 models together... but shouldn't it be 11? You have the base model (1), each element on its own (4), and then the unique combos for each (6). Of course, if a combo was dropped cause it didn't work designwise, it's understandable, but please say so. :P

I'm selling my brother's children to get this skin. And his fiance.

What did you model her idle pose and costume designs after? They're so vastly different from normal Lux that it almost looks like a completely different champ!
