The Pentakill content is pretty cool, but the execution was kinda....meh?

For those who don't know, we will expecting next patch to contain the following:

  • Pentakill Kayle skin (1350) and Ward
  • Improved textures for PK Morde, Sona, and Olaf
  • Arcade skins for Brand, Ziggs, and Malz
  • Arcade Summoners Rift

Now, while I do actually like the new Pentakill Kayle skin and ward and will probably get it simply to complete the collection again, I also sort of feel... slightly disappointed about it for a couple of reasons.

Yes, I know that with PentaKayle (that's what I'm calling it now lol), we're also due to get the 2nd PentaKill album as well, but with that I was hoping that this was supposed to be Pentakill's main time in the spotlight, and maybe they'd get something more, like chromas or having their VFX updated and given some new stuff. (I would've even taken one of those silly crafting things rito does that gives you a loading border lol) What it feels like, is that Pentakill's getting their thunder stolen by these arcade skins, since they're also getting a Log-In Screen and even getting their own version of the Rift? It just doesn't feel right to me that PENTAKILL, League of Legends' premiere Heavy Metal band, isn't getting more now that their second album is coming out. Like I said, PentaKayle looks cool, the ward is cool, but I just wish that they got more for in-game stuff...

Now, I'm NOT saying the Arcade skins are bad, they're pretty cool themselves, but couldn't they have waited for the next patch so Pentakill could have their time in the Limelight? I know this makes me sound greedy, but I guess I just sort of expected more is all.

I think we'll get a proper pentakill event after mordekaiser gets his vgu. Seeing as he is the Star.
