So surrender@20 just got updated with some new Star Guardian skins and also a new double skin sort of like the Rogue/Paragon Butzcrank. They are starting to throw around a new term known as "Variant skins". Pretty much it's the same exact skin in terms of V/O, Particles, recall, etc, but with a different model. To quote the site "... we’re calling a “Variant.” Basically, they give us more opportunities to creatively explore different theme, skin, and champion combinations, which we think is pretty awesome for our players and artists. "
Now i know people are already having discussions about price and worth and all these topics but i just want to say that this could easily be the correct solution for us. If it's "too much" as a chroma then it could easily be a variant. Sure it will cost a little more, but honestly i'm not upset about that as long as it's done well enough.
Either way, supporting this blacklight idea 100%. Surprised riot didn't jump on this from day one anyway. Also fix the garbage merch with good merch pls :c Masks and nice hats, not dad hats and crappy logos..
