Brilliant.

I love it when Riot tells stories through multiple skin splashes, or gives shout outs to other skins like how Frozen Shen is fighting Shockblade Zed.

or how DJ Sona and Arcade Miss Fortune can be seen in the background of the pink Taric skin

Don't forget Riot Tristana holding a phone with the old AotFA Taric splash on it.

We all know Zed's one to reVOLT, and that Shen is as cold as you can get. So either Zed will be forced to chill, or he'll be in for a shock.

Good thing we have enough electricity to fill in for a defibrillator.

Stealing from me ... would not be advised. Ziggs

I'm not convinced.

What's in common:

  • Lit by a full moon outside
  • Lit by candles inside
  • There's a book

What's different:

  • The windows are completely different.
  • Zigg's windows are thin and tall
  • Lux's windows are much shorter and fatter
  • The room itself isn't burning/burt
  • Near the window of Zigg's you see a fire burning on the floor, chared book, bits of chared parchment, etc.
  • In Lux's splash there's no sign of burnt artifacts
  • The room's state of repair
  • Zigg's room has columns falling apart
  • Lux's room, while showing minor signs of neglect (a few cobwebs) seems well maintained

We can see who Lux is stealing from though. Look in the shadows, on the ladder above the book. It's Veigar! Wait, no no, that's a caster minion (doesn't have the right hat to be Veigar :P).

Yeah Lux is definetly not stealing from Ziggs, but they seem to share the same setting in my opinion. More Spell/Arcanist Skins incoming ?

not to mention, Lux stole from Noxus during her time in the Demacian army, not Bandle City.. "...She quickly became renowned for her daring achievements; the most dangerous of which found her deep in the chambers of the Noxian High Command. She extracted valuable inside information about the Noxus-Ionian conflict..."

These skins are non-canon.

LOL. The resemblance is hilarious I'd play Dark Souls just to find one. [Obviously hasn't read the wiki<<<]

Yeah Riot used to love doing little bits of easter eggs in splash arts. I have no idea why they stopped though.
