5.23 PBE Feedback

Riot has done an incredible job with the upcoming champion and skins that have recently been added to the pbe.

• Have to start with this, DARK SOULS GRAGAS SKIN?! Praise the sun, this skin made my jaw literally drop, Is it possible to get a confirmation on the inspiration for this skin? I understand there's a possibility that Riot would be unable to admit to something like that for copyright reasons, but his appreance bares a striking resemblance to Solaire of Astora and even has a flask similar to what a souls character would wear on a belt for light. It's unfortunate that gragas is out of meta right now, but if this skin is a confirmed reference I will buy it in place of my fnatic pride skin for sure.

• On Illaoi: There is currently a bug where illaoi can't auto an inhibitor when w is activated.

I recommend adding a range indicator with tentacles when w is active.

Consider increasing vocal clarity with the void skin.

And finally I recommend increasing the visibility of tentacle spawning location indicator as well as tuning the tentacles to be more responsive on spawn, or possibly something to indicate inactivity time before fully spawned and something to indicate despawning.

Illaoi is super fun, I'm very much looking forward to playing her. Her void bringer skin is fantastic, probably my favorite on release skin that I've seen since I started in season 3. I recommend making the code for her tentacles a little more forgiving though as pre 6 jungling can be a bit difficult, after which she is great and I love the defensive potential her passive brings against invades while her ult can provide strong offensive capabilities, and her e works well because she wants to be near walls and ideally an e over a wall is what I try for. Her weakness are pronounced, though, in proximity to tentacles and to walls which is nice; making positioning a factor rather than embedding weaknesses in her damage or defense. I hope she does not receive any major nerfs prior to release and is viable on launch.

• Particle effects on dragon trainer trist are superb, well done.

• Going to combine both the azir and hecarim skin here: These skins are fantastic. Everything about them, amazingly crisp visuals, flavorful and unique, brilliant re-imaginations, solid all around.

• Ryze also looks stellar, but I want to bring up triumphant ryze, is there any way we can get an update to this skin? It's supposed to be semi-prestigious but it honestly pales in comparison to most of his other skins, or most skins in general, and it largely goes unnoticed, unlike victorious skins (sivr's victorious skin is to notch, elegant to the max)

• I don't play braum or varus but these look great too

Keep up the good work!
