My Comments on the New Yorick Skin

  1. YEEEEESSSSSS! FUCKING HELL YESSSSS! Finally, after 5-6 fucking years he has another skin!

  2. Excitement aside, I think Riot hit their mark with the theme of this skin. Yorick is pretty much the only one from the Shadow Isles that is pretty much the good guy and wants to restore it (well outside of Maokai), and so it would make sense that he would get the Arclight skin since it was made for Vayne, who also wishes to banish darkness from the small lore behind that release. I also think the design of it is well done. It gives that WoW Paladin look to it which I like a bit as I always found their armor to look cool (I don't play WoW but I do my research on it every now and again).

  3. Since Riot has been pumping out a lot of 1350 skins lately I can only assume that this is going to be the same. If so, then I hope to expect, of course, different SFX and effects in general, which just by quick look at the teaser does show so I'm happy about that. However, if the off chance is that this is a 975 skin, I'd be even happier since it'd be one of the more cheaper skins Riot has released in a while and would be good quality for its price.

Hiya Forhonor321!

Thanks for sharing some feedback. ^-^ We're super excited to finally be giving Yorick a new look, and it's great to hear you're a fan.

You're right, he'll be a 1350 RP skin, and will have all new SFX and VFX for this particular skin, and of course, a new recall animation.

If you have a chance to catch some footage of this guy, I'd love to hear any feedback!

Wow a Rioter commenting on a discussion of mine. That's a rare occasion for me.

Also, I will try to look up footage of the skin in action for futher feedback, but that might be hard since I'm dealing with college right now but I'll still try in my free time.

Not really. Arclight makes no sense on him. Might as well make a debonair kogmaw skin

It does, did you even the OP's comment. It fit's because Yorick is the few benevolent Shadow Isle champions.

In my opinion Arclight is about putting character with chaotic alignment into a lawful theme . I think both Vayne and Varus are chaotic in lore but are view more lawful in this skin line. Vel'koz being the only that can be argue whether or not he is chaotic or not.

Implying skins should make sense. Better throw away on one the best skins you ever made riot. Trash surprise party fiddlesticks cause it don't make any sense.

  1. Arclight is a skin line, not a one and done. Thus, there is a theme.

  2. Who isn't surprised when fiddle ults over a wall? That skin is perfect.
