I like the Ziggs one a lot, but I wish that these didn't all look so similar. Arcade skins in the past have always looked quite unique from each other with different color schemes. This year they are all purple, which is weird cause it doesn't even match up with the colors of Battle Boss Blitzcrank. I do like the particles quite a bit, but I think the skins themselves could use some work.

Battle Boss /= Final Boss. Final Boss > Battle Boss.

Brand's classic and a few of his skins are already red. It's good to have different color schemes in a champion's skins.

Azteryz1 votes

okay he has a couple that area "default" coloured because those are just 750 priced skins

im talking new particle effects and what not

this is the third blue particle skin for brand

My only issue with that is they don't even look like the match with the other Battle Boss Blitzcrank skin though. Plus idk, I just kind of like the fun of everyone having different color schemes. :(

Blitz is tier 1 Battle Boss. They are all tier 2.

That's my head canon.

These skins look amazing, but I'm low-key salty that Brand and Ziggs are getting more good skins when we still got Yorick, Illaoi, Kled, Taliyah, A.Sol, etc. all without more skins.

Shen might be a ninja, but we can't forget about him.

fairpaddy2 votes

Shen actually has quite a few skins, he doesn't really need many more at the moment. I could list them off if you want? Or you could just look them up.

DarkRitual1 votes

I am fully aware of his skins. He still lacks a GOOD skin of a higher price tier.

This Brand skins looks awesome.

Only problem I have is that it's blue color scheme will compete with Spirit Fire Brand when I want to play a blue Brand.

IGotScuttleCrabs2 votes

Really? I thought the Brand was was kinda bad. Honestly I thought it was Ezreal for a moment due to the Q.

TyrekGoldenspear2 votes

Eh, I've wanted a cyborg Brand skin that isn't cyrocore so it fits my needs.

Fondling Gems7 votes

I like the skin ideas a lot, but jeez do those ones come with a lot of visual clutter on their abilities. Ziggs ult might as well be ulting my computer for all that I can make out until the particle effects fade away.

Melledoneus7 votes

I love the bomberman reference on Ziggs and those particles on Malzahar make it a close second to Snow Day Malz.

But holy hell Brand looks really freaking happy.

TyrekGoldenspear4 votes

He got into Teemo's stash and now he feels like he's on fire.

Melledoneus1 votes

He's got the YAAAAAS face.

Why, good lord, why.

Brand really reminds me of this: https://static.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_small/6/64684/1309623-tourchman.exe.jpg

He is already fairly close, but the colors and effect need some changes.

no its Torchman unless fireman is his japanese name

Kinda sad that there is no Battleboss Urgot where he flies in an Ufo and looks like Robotnik.

But then again we can still hope for Star guardian Urgot :p

Fairyfleur1 votes

It won't happen, unless they turn the star guardian skin line into an april fools joke.

Roelo3 votes

I was just considering buying spirit fire Brand. I guess i'll wait until this skin comes out. I LOVE arcade skins!

Tornado Rush2 votes

The new Brand skin is bad. The abilities look puny. Unless they fix them it's better to buy spirit fire. (and i'm speaking as somebody who loves to play brand)

Roelo3 votes

Yeah, I just rewatched it and the abillities could be a little bit more spectacular. I hope they do fix it, because I love the arcade skin line.

So I guess the star guardian skins have been delayed indefinitely......

Solari Fortune2 votes

well nothing has said when the SG skins could be here

No, they are probably just coming next patch after this one. Last year the Star Guardian skins came out in the middle of August as well if I'm remembering correctly. Now Pool Party skins on the other hand... pretty sure those are not happening at this point (I'm still hoping PROJECT hasn't been dropped as a theme for this year either).

Killaburn2 votes

nope. SG skins came out in sep in the pbe then it came live in oct last year.

Oh wow, was it really that late in the year? My bad I thought they came out in the last month of summer. But still, they came out pretty late in the year regardless.

I want that Malz skin pretty bad

DeadUnborn3 votes

I really wish they had different color schemes. The purple on blue is not nice at all. I'm hoping for chromas at least

Fisher No Chains2 votes

Am I the only one who noticed arcade/joystick turrets?

Arcade game mode? Arcade SR? Oh we might have some new stuff next patch. :>

DarkRitual1 votes

It's just a temporary map upgrade. It'll also have an option to disable in options. So unfortunately no new mode.

Robertsmash2 votes

Damn Malz is my go to mid laner but these skins don't really cut it for me. Arcade definitely isn't my favorite skin line either.

Arakadia2 votes

I'm real surprised Yorick, Viktor, and Nasus were left out for this. I thought at least one of those would have made it. Ziggs makes sense, thats neat and Arcade Ziggs was a skin I've wanted for a while. Malzahar was a good choice but Brand? I love that Brand's getting a new skin but I don't like this one. The particles don't look like the other arcade skin particles. They just look like pixelated version of his normal spells with a blue filter. And his passive is really freaking hard to see because now its just a single blue ring with no particles of fire flying everwhere. AND his ult just looks like a bigger Q.

Compared to Malzahar and Ziggs, the spells have a shit ton more character.

Solari Fortune1 votes

Well these little teaser things sometimes don't quite have everything in them yet so I imagine the brand skin will get some tweaks on PBE

Arakadia2 votes

Yup!

I also plan to write some feedback once they do pop up on PBE.

DarkRitual1 votes

There's been a fair bit of negative feedback along those lines through other outlets. So anything you can add for ideas to improve it will certainly be helpful.

Brand one looks like a weird OC

Wyrmblade2 votes

I don't see the problem so many people have with these skins. Brand and Malz's are really fucking solid. Ziggs is the only one I don't like because Viktor would have been a way better pick.

Nefas2 votes

Been playing a ton of Malz recently and really like the skin. Do wish his colors matched his sweet red voidlings though for a bit stronger differentiation from the base.

V The Support V1 votes

Love the arcade-ish skins! They are labeled "Battle Boss" instead of "Final Boss" so does this mean there is only one more skin left, or are they apart of a separate line?

Solari Fortune2 votes

The Blitz Riven Splash is not a limit on how many skins there are gonna be we already have way more arcade skins than the Selector shows, it was just for the feel of the classic pick your character screen

V The Support V2 votes

You are probably right about no limitations. Although there are 10 Slots and we only have 9 so far which is why I was wondering if "Battle" is part of a different line. Speaking of the pick your hero screen... https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/b/b2/Arcade_Select_pixel_1.gif/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/300?cb=20160826130527
