Any plans to update Forsaken Olaf so that it can match Forsaken Jayce? http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/splash/Jayce_3.jpg http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/splash/Olaf_1.jpg

Forsaken Jayce is Star Wars related, Forsaken Olaf is not. Tis why they look nothing alike.

How is it Star Wars related? It looks nothing like Star Wars.

Some form of the dark side. It's why the skin was released on May the 4th. (May the 4th be with you).. The same as Chosen Master Yi. Forsaken is the opposite of Chosen.

Huh, weird. It looks nothing like its from Star Wars. The biggest thing is the cloak and anyone can wear a cloak. :I

The crimson glow on his weapon is a homage to the Sith.

also if you look closely at the skin art hes in a space ship with a hole blasted in wall!

Forsaken Jayce is a star war theme as it references the Dark Side (Sith) of the Force. Just like Chosen Master Yi is the Light Side (Jedi).

It's just like in SMITE: BOTG where Wukong has a Dark Lord skin that is also based on the Star Wars Theme, and Jayce clearly took a lot from this http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Px3GL4UKsDY/hqdefault.jpg

Yo Da Dwagonswayer!

Skins team currently has no plans to go back an update older skins like Forsaken Olaf. This skin will probably be updated when Olaf himself get's a rework. What he will look like is an unknown for now, champion update will be in charge of that.

If skins keep falling behind in quality (and they are), is there thought inside Riot that those older skins might have their prices lowered?

They tend to just move them into the Legacy vault.

So, you foresee Olaf getting an update?

Aw dammit. PFE could use some polish compared to SGU or DJS. Would be really neat if the guys at the sfx team could run the announcer through a filter to make it remotely sound like his AI voice. Maybe even as toggle for his team, like for Sona's music. He has the same price, but far less changes than the other 2 Ultimates

Olaf is getting a rework? I... am both happy and fearful.

Don't think those are supposed to be in the same line. They made forsaken Olaf a long time ago, and it doesn't match the visuals of Jayce at all

hence why im askin if itll be updated, it has the same name afterall

DerZermetzelteOct 8, 20153 votes

Same name doesn't mean anything. "Forsaken" is pretty generic. Also that would mean upping the skins price-category by 2 tiers. Definitely won't happen pal.

If anything Riot should either change the name of Forsaken Jayce or update Forsaken Olaf

Heyo!

We don't have plans to make updates at this time.

;n; Okay, thanks for replying, I just thought it would be cool to see a Sith Olaf(kinda like Jayce).

If past behavior is any indication of the future, the chances of Forsaken Olaf being updated to look like Forsaken Jayce is almost nil.

To be blunt, Riot does not update old skins to match their original levels. They'll update the skins to meet modern criteria (see Alien Invasion Heimerdinger or Magnificent Twisted Fate for examples), but they will not update the old skins to their levels.

Forsaken Olaf is a recolor of the classic normal skin, created at a time when that was expected and accepted. That's what you're likely going to get, something that would sell for 750 RP with a few tweaks here and there.

That's only if Riot feels that Olaf needs a visual rework. (Meddler has said that his gameplay is in a "good spot" right now. That probably says more about the wacky state of the company more than anything else to be honest...)

Given what that team did with Mordekaiser (nerfing all the effects of his various skins with no plans on fixing them anytime soon), what you should fear with an Olaf rework is how they'll treat Brolaf or Pentakill Olaf (make all the axes look and sound the same, remove any special effects, not update the voice work on the legendary, etc.)
