How do you guys feel about the leaks? In my personal opinion it only hyped up the release for me. Like I'm obessivly waiting for a new Yasuo skin and will insta buy it Leak or not, but I wanted to know how you feel about someone taking that from you?

All it showed me is that Riot doesn't care about the champs who have gone 3+ years without skins.

You know that the leak didn't include all skins that are currently in the works? It didn't predict the release skins for Xayah and Rakan and didn't predict Conqueror Karma either.

Well I'm a little intrigued about Urgot. I didn't like what it said about his kit at first but some of it's grown on me a bit. His ult actually sounds pretty cool and his rocket hand could be similar to his current Q. Though I'm still not sure about shotgun knees; I'd rather his knees spray a bunch of chemicals all around him.

They addressed their opinion on it in the Rakan and Xayah Q&A

So is it a yeh or nah?

They said they find the leaks to be sad and unfortunately they cannot be avoided at times, however they said that the marketing team could not have been happier with Xayah and Rakan's kit as a result of the leak.

Well darkstar khazix and darkstar orianna weren't announced in the leaks, neither was conqueror karma. Other than that, the lekas are pretty precise so far.

All I'm waiting for is the more naked evelynn.
sorry it had to be

Darkstar Kha'zix and Orianna were both leaked. Only the Karma skin didn't.

There's leaks for just about every big company. Not a big deal and sometimes they intentionally unofficially leak things for hype.

For me, it did hype me up for that Pulsefire Caitlyn I wanted ever since they did the art panel that long ago. But apparently just see a lot more of the negative side about how she's just getting another skin and how the Pulsefire skin line itself wasn't suppose to be one.

Does nobody notice that out of all the legendary skins, we only have 8 female champions that have alternate voicelines compare to the 24 male champs with alternate voicelines. And yes I included the ultimate skins into the count.

Anyway, I'm still hype for the skin, mainly for new VO lines and FINALLY the ability to taunt back.

I think a lot more people are just upset that Pulsefire Ezreal will be made a lot less special of a skin once PF Caitlyn becomes a thing. In the past the skins team have said they will keep the Ultimate skin lines unique, but they lied, so I think a lot of people feel a little bit hurt by that.

When it comes to Legendary skins being released, part of the reason why a lot more of the recent Legendaries skins have been to females is for that sole purpose. When the game was first developing there really wasn't that many female characters in the game with truly interesting or decent personality, so there was no point in giving them 1820 skins.

Now that a lot more female champions have been fleshed out and made to be more then fan-service experiments, Riot sees a lot more point in giving them fully fleshed out skins that include new VO.

Had Dark Star Orianna or Project Ashe been made 3 - 4 years ago, not only would have the quality been down, but the designs would have been made a lot more pandery and less interesting.

I don't think that changing your mind from what I assume was years ago counts as lying. Methodology changes.

Omega Squad Veigar is what I am hyper for, No clue what they are going to do with his abilities.

I feel the same. While I am excited for a new veigar skin the problem that I see is that the other champs that are supposed to be in this skin like, twitch, teemo, and fizz, are all assassin like champs. So I can't wait to see how they fit this theme on a bursty mage.

It ruined the surprise of seeing the teasers for the first time but added its own excitement for waiting for the leaks to be confirmed.

Super hyped about Angelblade Riven. Literally checking the PBE just to see if new things are there so I can say we are another step closer to AB Riven.
