The SKT skins finally don`t look like Riot just photoshopped red jackets and sunglasses on everyone

but now we got 5 skins wich look too good to just be about some random team wich the majority of League players dont even know the name off. I watch E-sports and even I didnt know the names written under the champions except for Faker. It doesnt really affect me since I dont play any of these champs, but imagine a Nami main, most Nami mains are busy nagging to their boyfriends or Sona mains who got their champ banned. These groups are very unlikely to care or know about SKT and the players wich aren`t Faker and their names appearing on the recall animation is like your TV always showing a picture of the inventor of TV everytime you turn it on.

I feel the exact opposite about it. This pivot to the skins celebrating the players themselves is amazing. They're the top of the top in their roles. We should know and celebrate that.

P.s. Pretty sure many Nami players know Wolf :P That recall tho.

they had a preview without the signatures. I liked them without. dont think they are going to remove it now. all i can do is just not buy them.

Why would you not buy them just because of a signature, it takes nothing away from the skin.

TeslynJun 14, 20173 votes

The signature makes it look tacky.

if a person cares about Esport they would already know the names of the player the skin represents. also, its just added things that distract from the overall skin quality.

Distracts from the overall quality of the skin? Wha? By what, 0.02 %? You only see the signatures during the recall animations. They're not constantly covering the champs & written in big flashing neon lights.

Well they are in a way meant to be tacky xD they are skins that are made for the Esports pros, champions chosen by them,various inputs from them on designs (i.e. the recalls), ect so it's not like they aren't here just to feed their own egos.

You're basically saying that you wouldn't buy a painting because it has the artist's signature.

PaquayJun 14, 20172 votes

But, but, but, anyone who knows art would know who painted it already! /s

I think the signatures are a cool touch. I kinda wish they'd go back and do this for all the past skins.

The skins arnt made by the players. i think a person in his own art should be appreciated.
The only exception that i make of a persons signature on something that they didnt create would be a photograph autographed by the person it is depicting.

The signatures make the skins tacky. i am also not a person that would put pink flamingo plastic lawn ornaments in my yard. there is a market for them.

It's almost as if people have different tastes and opinions. Wow. Weird. Some people actually want it to be perfect. I wanted to buy the conqueror Karma skin and guess what? I didn't buy it just because I didn't like the splash art. I'm not putting money on something which is at 99.99% and not at 100%, call me whatever you want but that flaw makes the difference for me (and for people like Teslyn).

Wrathof300Jun 15, 20172 votes

Not buying a skin because you don't like the splash art is still 10 times more understandable than not buying the skin because of a signature. I am not saying Teslyn should give Riot their money, its their choice, I am just pointing out that they are over exaggerating the problem.

Idk it probably feels esclusive to a certain limited amount of people with that signature for him

I will never in my life purchase Lunar Wraith Caitlyn. Just ew. Soooo bad. Such a bad splash. I can't even describe to you. There'd have to be a gun to my head to even begin to consider it

Wrathof300Jun 15, 20171 votes

Really, I like that splash. Hmmmm, I wonder which one for me? I like Riot's art style so its hard for me, but maybe Lil' slugger Trundle, since the splash art is so different from what you actually get, this still isn't even me not liking the splash.

And? Who cares if non-Esports people don't know the name of the SKT players? These skins were made to honor those players' success for winning Worlds.

It's not a big deal & can be easily ignored. If someone is interested, they can look it up. If it bothers them.......really?

So what if some people dont get them? It's their skins, it's a nod to the team and players who are the best in the game. Should football players stop giving their autographs on balls or shirts just because some random guy wont know their name?
