I'm not upset that Lux is getting yet another skin ...

What does upset me, however, is how identical she looks to her ultimate skin (aka Elementalist Lux)

Riot, you guys could of at least tried making her look more unique. I know for a fact you reused the same model / assets from her ultimate skin to make this. The face is no doubt, the same as her ultimate's and those shoulders ... they're the same structure as the ultimate's too. The whole point of making new skins; is to add onto variety. I literally feel like it's just an add on to her ultimate skin line, but without the option for choosing the other alternatives within her ultimate.

I dare say, this feels more like a chroma for he ultimate skin line than being it's own skin. Unless ... that was intentional?

Why play Lux then? She's the epitome of feminine princess.

Cause her gameplay is solid? Theres reasons to play people other than looks.

Meanwhile, ASol's been out for nearly two years and he's yet to get his second skin.

And Shen hasnt gotten a skin in almost 6 years

Riot said, "Worlds skins are their own kind and we do not count them as skins since they are based of what the worlds winners want". Therefore I exclude TPA Shen

Meanwhile, some of us are still waiting for the Dragon Master Swain we were promised.

Sure, Swain's rework is out any day now, but he has only gotten one skin since his release, and that was season 1 ffs!

Holy crap. I hadn't looked at a side by side yet and its just so blatantly copied.

It's literally riot saying. Hey I know you can't afford the ultimate skin. How about you pay us for this chroma you can buy separately so we can still take your money?

Could have* ffs.
"Could of" makes 0 sense.

This is a dumb complaint though. When riot makes a skin they have to either use the base model and work with that or make a new model but that only happens for legendary skins. Them taking elementalist lux model base over her classic skin is a no brainer. It is the logical decision that gives them a lot more freedom in what they can do with the skin since elem. Lux is newer. It doesn't look like a chroma, it doesn't look like any of the elementalist forms. It has it's own unique textures etc. Basically you are upset about them making the skin higher quality thanks to using elemetalist model as a base instead of her outdated classic.

I wouldn't mind if they used the ultimate skin to create the new skin ... but they didn't even try to make it any different. It literally looks like they created a chroma for her best skin, rather than a unique skin. The only thing that makes it stand out from the ultimate, is ..... ... um .. .... well, that's the thing. It's too similar in every way possible. At least Lunar Nasus has much longer hair, different face, looks unique and when he ults- the dude's color changes. Same for Warwick, despite looking somewhat like his default, the skin makes him stand out in a good way. This skin for Lux? If I placed it alongside all the other Ultimate Lux forms, you couldn't tell it was it's own skin at all.

TrevorAlu2 votes

yeah, tbh the skin doesn't look that nice

Colonell2 votes

Glad to know I'm not the only one seeing the similarities o_O I main her, own all the skins (yes, even the fugly commando one), and I noticed immediately how close the models are here. What will either make the skin sink or swim for me is how they do the actual skills.

You ever been strapped on cash from purchasing things from Riot, and you go to Walmart to get some old-spice, but can't afford it, so you grab the off-brand?

Yeah, That's it... Brand

Right? She looks like her Mystic form or something

Placentas1 votes

100% agree

Tbh I love it, but it really looks like another form of her Ultimate skin.

The Whamboozler1 votes

It hardly matters... almost all the Lunar Revel skins are dogshit awful anyways. Just stick with the ultimate skin for her. Or if you're a REAL Lux player... Spellthief. Spellthief Lux is best Lux.

LightIsMyPath2 votes

.. Or use every game a different one :p . That spellthief splash art though..

Chembaron Yamada1 votes

I hope you exclude Lunar Revel Vi here, because this skin is godly.

The skin was designed by Zeronis. The man doesn't know how to differ designs.

Potchikir1 votes

yay a cheaper version of her ultimate skin

Nintendo 3DS1 votes

Maybe give her pants could be great, with that stance she has pants fit her very well and better than skirts. (exception for SG who has an updated model and Elementalist with a whole new model) I was also expecting more covering outfit, kinda sad her pink chroma features a boob window. Overall the skin is quite pretty but should be differenciated to Elementalist. Elementalist is supposed to be the "higher" form of Lux, an exclusivity. If she gets a new skin, it should be "back" to how the regular Lux is. I mean, i like diversity and all but Lux getting back her identity on a simple 1350RP skin would be more fitting imo.

Warwick Main1 votes

I said this in another thread but I believe Lux was chosen because she had leftover concepts for elementalist that never made it into the final skin. With a bit of editting they save money on designers and get to cash in on something that woulda been thrown away.

Tesla Effect1 votes

Elementalist Lux pretty much fills in any thematic gap for Lux that wasnt already been filled in with her previous skins.
