well first off the model/art. pentakill sona's hair in the splash

her supposed model's hair in-game according to lolking http://i.imgur.com/wwnoXr7.png

i don't own pentakill sona, but if this is really the length on the in-game model, can you please lengthen it a bit? In the splash it looks like it should go just around shoulder-blade length, maybe almost borderline waist.

Also, does sona float on all her skins? or does she actually walk in some of them. impossible to normally tell because she has no legs or feet except in the DJ sona because wearing a skintight suit and no dress/skirt so can't see if feet touching the ground.

Hiya Wolfess!

We don't have plans to make changes to this skin at this time. Looking at the in game model, it does appear to be a bit longer -

Keep in mind that while the splash is a representation of the skin, it's not a 1:1.

To answer your other question, she does float! :D

The REAL issue with Pentakill Sona is that the sfx are still soothing harp scales instead of heavy metal guitar riffs.

RiotmoonstonesMar 23, 20163 votes

I agree that some new SFX would be badass for her. Unfortunately, we aren't planning to update older skins right now. :c

I do hope you guys will make Pentakill Mordekaiser more Metal than Karthus once you get around to work on him (hopefully sooooon)

I mean, cookies may help the process. (I'm kidding, but those cookies were awesome.)

Malicious MetalMar 24, 20167 votes

Don't tempt me or RiotHQ will be flooded with millions of Mordekaiser cookies. Just a head's up so you can start building an ark.

Maybe we will see Mordekaiser make metal sounds when playing his guitar, and he will have flames on his pauldrons.

As we all know from the revenant himself...

Can you just make sure it's on the radar for some point when you ARE looking to update an old skin? I would probably buy an updated pentakill sona on the spot even if that work upgraded its price tier.

When you do, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make an exception to sound effect skin tiers for Sona... she's a musical champion. Just give her distorted organ sounds...

Not planning to update older skins right now? Wait. What about Tristana's or Sion's?

RiotmoonstonesMar 25, 20162 votes

Sorry, allow me to clarify.

We have been doing Champion Updates, which can entail updating the champion and their skins (like Trist and Sion), but, that's usually the only time we're updating older content, unless there is a gameplay concern (like Underworld Twisted Fate).

GhostOfShrimpmasMar 25, 20162 votes

So does this mean that there are no more Visual Updates that don't go along with total overhauls now? So, for example, Morde's pizza feet missed their one chance to get updated?

RiotmoonstonesMar 28, 20161 votes

Erm, I'm not 100% sure. I personally work on Skins, not Champion Update, so I don't have all the details as to what they have planned this year.

AFAIK, we don't have plans to update Mordekaiser again, at least in the near future.

GhostOfShrimpmasMar 28, 20163 votes

Can you at least get him some sort of Italian Chef skin to go with his pizza feet, then?

ooh a red response, feels neat~

awww at no hair length change. Love long, straight, flowing crimson red hair. <3

and thanks for the info on how she moves around. Not being one of the champs that looks like she does a lot of physically strenuous activity I always wondered where she got the energy to move around so much from while playing, now I know she has link's hover boots on xD

RiotmoonstonesMar 24, 20162 votes

It is really cool hair. :3

She's just floatin' along. She's magical. :D

I know this might be a little off topic, and since you guys don't have plans to update older skins it's most likely not going to happen but...

Can you guys maybe try to make her tattoo on Pentakill Sona a little darker?

It's really hard to see in game and you can barely notice it in model viewers as well.

I don't think it would be that difficult, but then again I don't know how all this model and texture/color stuff works.

RiotmoonstonesMar 25, 20161 votes

There's actually a bit of reasoning behind this - since her dress is black, adding a large, dark tattoo to her arm would blend everything together from game height, which is why the lighter color was selected.
