Mythic skin - PROBLEMS and SUGGESTIONS

  1. no voice line changes (not ordinary for mythic to have, but something to differentiate it from base KDA kaisa. Use the echo voice she gets while ulting all the time? or while she has her mask toggled on?)
  2. Same back animation as a regular skin (Prestige has the same back as KDA. All other mythics are unique and no other skin has the same back animation as any other skin in the game)
  3. lacking visuals (Perhaps gold dust is always on or toggle-able, maybe during back can have more glow similar to lancer hecarim back. animation,
  4. false/lacking info on the skin. I thought the intention of this skin was to be rare, yet I have heard people rolling this skin for free with border. Why are these not locked like victorious, PAX, Young Ryze, etc.? There seemed to be a lack of clarity on what the skin was/ would look like.
  5. no unique icon for "prestige skin"?
  6. add a unique effect similar to "eggnivia" where when typing it says " summoner name (Prestige Kaisa): glhf " as opposed to just "summoner name (Kaisa): glhf"
  7. lackluster splash art (this splash is arguably worse than the original, as there is nothing in the background) Could be improved by having a guest artist draw something different from scratch? Similar to how some of the different servers have different style splash arts. Future prestige skins take in the empty space? Also, the skin is way too zoomed in when it is picked for the profile background and the quality of the image seems low. 8. WHY DOES THE FROG NOT CHANGE COLOUR WHEN TAUNTING? on the bullet angel skin it changes but on this grindfest+pay skin it doesn't? Can it change to a shiny gold frog that dances or something?
  8. perhaps after the event is done, this skin could keep the opening spawn of making the minions gather round and cheer. Or you could use those assets to make a unique dance, taunt or b animation where they watch you.
  9. (probably pushing it) if you own prestige, KDA kaisa is free or can be purchased as a chroma for dicsount/BE? (similar to new "Variant Skin" rules.)

Just wanted to give my two cents on what I thought could make the skin feel better for people who put the effort in to get it. Don't get me wrong, the world's event was great. Great matches to watch, good quests to complete, nice new skins etc, but playing through it all and spending money to get this skin gives me buyer's remorse. The akali skin with new visuals (glow in the dark) looks like it was handled much better than this. I spent too much time grinding out the tokens. When I grind rank and get a simple colour change from gold to plat it feels great that I achieved something. This skin personally, makes me feel like I spent way too much time and money, and that I should have just bought the normal KDA kaisa and saved my time. Hopefully improving it will make player's excited for the next prestige skin if they see that a large effort was made for this one.

All other mythic skins can be gotten through hextech, they have like a .00000001% chance of happening. So its still rare.

I think this entire list, barring the frog's lack of texture update, is a bit silly. There were absolutely no misconceptions that this skin was going to be different from KDA Kai'sa except in texture (and lack of hair buns) and particle colors. It didn't need a new recall, nor did it need a voice filter, NOR should you get regular KDA for free if you own it. I can possibly understand rolling it into the new pricing paradigm for the new variants, but not just for free.

And it's addition to the Mythic level was done because it's original release was under special circumstances, much like how Dark Star Cho'Gath is going to re-release as a Mythic level only available for gemstones once he comes back, even though it originally costed 1350 RP. It doesn't need more bells and whistles simply because it's at this rarity.

And having the skin available in Hextech isn't bad at all. I personally believe skins like Young Ryze et al shouldn't be as severely limited as they are, and should come back in the vein of Neo Pax Sivir and Championship Riven. I think having such strict unavailability only frustrates players, so the tiny hope that you have an opportunity, even if it's small, to get the skin is a pretty good incentive.

I do, however, agree that the Border shouldn't be available if you don't purchase it with World's Tokens.

Aren't all Mythic skins like that?

I mean, they didn't even change her normal dance...

She does lack some things compared to other mythical skins. But asking for 4, 5, especially 6, 9 and 10 is quite a lot. The skin is maybe rare but available for free.

Agreed, for the time and effort, having her be able to be rolled and crafted for free is bull shit
