Super Galaxy Gnar

Hello.

This is a post to bring attention to riot employees about a skin.

I cannot play a game or watch games with the skin. When Gnar transform he has a phasing thing that happens. When the animation of the phasing happens, whether it be mini to mega or mega to mini, my eyes are giving me signals that I could get a seizure from it. I really love Gnar and I'm not asking to remove it. I'm just wanting to let League know that it's a serious problem for me. I hope you can respond to me, Riot. If there's something I can do in via game settings to stop it, let me know. Thank you.

Hey joerorowesmio,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The last thing we'd want is for our content to hurt our players. ;-; We take reports like this seriously. I'm really sorry this is happening for you.

In this case, changing your video settings wouldn't fix this - from what you're describing, the transformation VFX are too loud/flashy, which is causing you to be on the verge of a seizure.

I'm in the process of collaborating with the pod who worked on the Super Galaxy skins to see what we can do to solve for this. I'll keep you updated.

Again, thanks for calling this out.

EDIT: Don't look at the animations again, but from memory, can you pin point what piece was causing the issue - flashing of VFX/wobbling? What types of visuals are likely to cause seizures for you? I'd be super helpful to narrow things down so we can make a fix based on that! :3

For the sake of solving this ASAP, feel free to hit me up on League (Riot KateyKhaos), or on Twitter, @KateyAnthony. I'd love to pop a fix in for next patch, if at all possible!

Hiyo!

Thank you so much, again, for letting us know about this problem :)

I have made some adjustments that will hopefully solve it! While trying to maintain the original artist's work, I balanced out the colors that might be causing vibrations. -I've removed the orange vertical-moving rings. (This is because I wanted to stop the complementary colors from switching out so much from blue/orange) -I've also changed the full-screen effect color to blue so that it's more cohesive with the rest of the transformation. (This should be easier and calmer on your eyes)

We hope this solves the problem for you, but let us know if you feel otherwise :)

Here is a "not-super-high-quality" GIF to show the adjustments made. Please be careful as the changes made may or may not have fixed the issue, so view this GIF with caution: https://imgur.com/a/F365E

EDIT: Oops!! I forgot to also point out that this change will be in PBE later today, it won't be on LIVE yet :)

I don't have PBE either. The transformation when he turns to Mega Gnar is a lot easier to read via the GIF. Yes! Thank you for looking into this. I cannot wait to be able to purchase the skin. The adjustments are perfect. <3 Gnar

... Shouldn't the skin be disabled on the live client for health and safety reasons then?...

Basically what Paleo said. Thank you for reading my message Katey! I love Gnar so much it hurts. He's just being a beautiful strobe light.
