Arclight Brand - WHO MADE THIS, RIOT?

I'm a Brand main. Have been since I started playing this game. Battle Boss was great, Spirit Fire is absolutely amazing. But this...

This is some good work. Really good work. I would like to know who worked on it so that I may thank them for yet another great skin!

Edit: After seeing the PBE videos, I fear the SFX lack enough audible impact (The W explosion, and Q impact). Particles and visuals look great!

The effects are very hard to see as someone with perfect vision. They need to darken the colors or make them more visible, you can barely tell if you're on fire or not.

I did a duel with a buddy because we were playing Kayle and Morgana (and he doesnt own everyone on live) and he couldn't even see the pillar, only reason I knew it was there was because I was the one casting it

I mean I love the skin. But I'd like them to add a blue outline to his abilities since it fades in a little too much. Arclight is becoming the skinline of barely noticable abilites sadly, no-one will see that Q in a teamfight.

So this and Prestige Ahri. Are there any others?

Its extremely hard to find anything with all the Kayle & Morgana threads.

Nope, that is it in terms of new skins this PBE cycle.

The skins team have really been knocking these VGUs and new skins. Sadly I think the leak we saw a while back is a fake (rip Anti SG Syndra), but Arclight Brand is visually stunning, perhaps even better than Coven Lissandra.

That "leak" was debunked pretty much instantly, and undoubtedly debunked when Papercraft Nunu was revealed (the fake leak predicted Nunu's next skin would be a Star Guardian one).

It was already debunked when they revealed Sylas, since he turned out to have a completely different kit than what was mentioned in the leak, so yeah, almost instantly.

It was amazing how many people still hoped for it to be accurate, tho.

I think it was debunked even before that, because it was announced that Kayle and Morgana's kits wouldn't be like what's in the leak.

And yeah, seriously, I still saw stuff about it in comment sections up to this patch. This stuff is never real.

Until something in the colors change, he will be my permaban. I will not abide by a pay to win skin versus colorblind people. I’m disappointed in Riot’s oversight on the matter.

Wow. Stunning design. Props to whoever made it.

The sound effects for the ult are simply delightful.

Personally I found it to kind of be a weird theme to go with for him

I find it hard to come up with something that would've fit him better.

This is a really badass Brand skin, but since I got vandal Brand from hextech chests, I use that one just for the loading screen art lol

Another brand main here and I also believe the SFX needs more impact. The abilities also look pretty light and would probably get lost in a team fight. But nonetheless I’m pretty hyped for this

His abilities need to be a bit more bold, add some more dark gold accents to provide contrast. His passive is also disgustingly underwhelming: its literally just a golden ring, Vayne's Arclight Silver Bolts have more VFX involved

I am by no-means a brand main but I really liked the look of this skin. And the animations on his abilities are so clean it is amazing to watch. Just a personal opinion but I really like this skin.

Arclight skins just keeps getting better and better. I thought that they couldn't top off Arclight Yorick Lmao!

Also a problem with clarity as his abilities are a lot less eye-catching than his default flame SFX.
