Has Riot stopped doing animated Login Screens?

áza··25 votes·14,670 views

Yuumi never received a quality login screen, if she even got one. Mordekaiser seems like he won't be getting one either. (Yes I know it's a champion theme.) It just feels kind of half-assed especially for Yuumi players. I just hope i'm overthinking this.

Oh nononoon no... Login screens were such a cool thing and are a thing since league of legends itself. NO no no no way they just gave up on login screens.

Personally I miss when they used to remix the original League theme for champion themes on their logins.

I think it was overshadowed by the LCS log in screen

Yuumi barely fucking moves in hers, it's kinda disappointing, especially with her ''magical cat'' title.

It's so funny to me how they half-assed it that hard, she is frozen by a spell in my book so that's why only her eyes move around.

It's so funny the fact that fans made a more impressive login screen.

I'm fine with that, it's a waste of resources for me, maybe an unpopular opinion

If it's a waste of resources, then where will those resources be better used?

More prestige skins!

4444 more Esports and such related login screens that literally no one asked for.

4444 more Esports and such related login screens

But wouldn't you actually enjoy this simply because of the number?

Quality over quantity. I'd rather have 6 animated splash art logins with their own themes, one for each new champion and/or rework, that actually adds something interesting when I login and depth to the character(s) they represent, than the same Esports crap. Over. And over. And over again.

Almost anything is better than wasting resources in making login screens that will be gone that quickly

Completely ignoring the fact that the login screens are uploaded to youtube by various channels (including League's official youtube) & even on other websites for anyone to go back & watch/listen to at anytime for all of time. "Gone"....riiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

If that's a waste, then why bother producing new songs or themes for each champ?

Where's Ezreal's prestige skin Riot? I see nothing to throw unholy amounts of money at!

Also we need Prestige Prestige Battle Academy Lux, where Lux is so golden that blinds the user and everyone in a 1km perimeter from the computer where she is being displayed

fixing their client?

That would be nice

You guys do realize that the client team and the login team are 2 different teams with different focus right? as the logins requires artists while the client requires programmers more so than artists

For champion/reworks which is basically one of their key products they slowly and slowly stripped away things that they previously did. They used to make a stylized reveal page. That is no more. They used to do login screens no matter what event was going on. That is no more(still haven't forgotten the "Halloween" login screen) What's next? No more new splash arts just new in-game models? And as you said its not like they use their beloved resources on the game anyway. What are they doing consistently? Skins, events that are tied to skins and champions. LOL multi-billion company.

Sir Saltarin1 votes

Hold a minute

I do dislike that they dont do the "a stylized reveal page" for reworks, I just always found meaningless the login screens and I have it always without movement and without sound, and I would dislike that they stopped doing splash arts and I know that it wont ever happen since it's one of the biggest points for the skins

Just that, it's a personal preference

Hey, I said an unpopular opinion that was an actual unpopular opinion

you're right, it is an unpopular opinion.

If they add an in client way of changing the login screen i'd care more about them.

I feel like at this rate we'll actually get our first deleted champion soon.

Orfeo Blackheart1 votes

That happened with Aatrox. He didn't just get an awful rework, he got a full-blown re-release. But yea we may eventually get a removed champion, hey maybe Bricky was right? Legacy champions, like Legacy skins...

Maisanai1 votes

I think they're actually just not allocating time for the champion ones, which are being made, in favor of the esports ones. the BA skinline got one, Yuumi got one, but there's been a lot going on lately so they just haven't had proper representation. I wish we could choose from a selection. Maybe like the last 5 logins, since it seems like too much to ask for all of them lol

I mean no they aren't. The Battle Academia got an animated Login Screen, same with the Zed legendary. I honestly don't know why Yuumi didn't get one.

The theory that the Battle Academia replaced it doesn't make sense either since the Kayle & Morgana rework had an animated one, and the Cats and Dog event came with them that also got an animated Login.

So Mordekaiser will probably get one, but it might just be put on hold because the new Dark Star Jhin skin might get an animated one as well. Both will probably be uploaded to the official channel though.

Morde isn't getting one. Only his theme was uploaded, like Yuumi.

Yuumi kind of came out in the middle of a double event. They had both MSI login screens and Battle Academia (which Yuumi was technically a part of), so I think it was just a matter of coming out at the wrong time. No word on Mordekaiser yet, sometimes login screens don't hit PBE until late in the cycle, so there's still time. Its worth noting that both Morde and Yuumi have musical themes even if they never have login screens. Mordekaiser's played in the background of his behind-the-scenes reveal video and Yuumi's played during her reveal trailer, and is also on League's YouTube page here:
