They're all really pretty, especially Nasus, like holy shit he looks majestic.
My condolences to Aurelion players.
Well, it was obvious it would be Lux, idk why some people are screaming "bait" everywhere. The quotes and the wad files, really screamed Lux. I understand the frustration because A.Sol sure deserved this skin more than her after she got Elementalist, but we could see it coming. I hope for A.Sol players they would get their skin soon !
Although i admit a new Lux skin was not needed at all, i find it beautiful; Nasus and Warwick as well are majestic.

Hiya,
I'm the Visual Effects Artist responsible for Lunar Revel Nasus and Valentines Rakan, so i'm super excited that two skins I have been working on really hard are being shown at once!
I'm really glad you like Nasus, I've worked really hard to make his VFX feel powerful and godly, particularly when he uses his Ult to ascend to his ultimate Godly form.
This year is the year of the Dog, and as such we chose League's two doggo champions for the Lunar Revel celebrations. We were loosely referencing Door Guardians, or "gate gods" who are figures from Chinese folklore who guard your doors from Evil spirits and bad influences, and are related to Lunar New Year. This is why in their recalls Nasus and Warwick summon doors carved with their images, and lock and protect them. We imagined that the door was the entry into a celestial realm, and they guard it from the Lunar Wraiths (caitlyn and morgana from previous years).
We envisaged Lux as the godly empress of this realm, and also as the person who raised Nasus and Warwick from pups into the titans they are today. In her recall you can see she summons tiny puppy versions of Warwick and Nasus, and trains them to sit. You can also get these puppers individually as the Lunar Revel wards. Warwick and Nasus have very different personalities - Nasus is a stoic titan, Warwick a vicious beast. We were exploring what it meant to be a Good Dog and a Bad Dog - they might have very different attitudes when it comes to guarding the realm, but they both have unwavering loyalty to Lux.
If anyone would like further context on why we chose Lux, please refer to KateyKhaos' post here: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/pcX0wKmd-skin-schedule-is-honestly-so-fucked?comment=0019
I'm sorry if some Aurelion Sol players who got excited are a little disappointed, but this was year of the Dog, not of the Dragon. To them I'd just like to say that we try to get to champs who have been a long time without skins when it makes sense - I personally have worked on Yorick, Viktor and Illaoi in just the past few months. Please be patient, and we will get to your favourite dragon when we have a chance and with a theme that really makes him awesome :)
When Xayah and Rakan came out, I knew it.They have to get the Valentines skin next year. They just HAVE to. I was right.
BUT MY GOD HOW CAN YOU RUIN THE CONCEPT SO BAD.
They look like a joke, the dance is stiff , the clothes look more like a costumes from burned down theatre. Tango Eve and TF look more in love than the big lovers of league on their Valentines day skin.
Please don't ship this. Cancel it , put it back for the next year. Don't ruin such concept. Make them look like they'll be going on a hot dance night date instead of street performance comedy.
The only think Rakan speaks about is Style, Dance and how hot Xayah is. These skins have none of that.
PLEASE DON'T SHIP THEM!

This rakan skin is a friggin travesty, I'm sorry.
Some odd reason That lux skin makes me feel like im playing as elementalist.
Jeez, I thought my comment in the other thread about Sol was a joke. Riot are just memeing us at this point.
EDIT: Riot are you really saving a skin for Sol for the Dragon Chinese New Year in 2024?
Yay finally a Lux skin, I was waiting for so long on one of those. Now if only they'd give Ashe another skin it'd all be perfect : ^)
All we need to round out the new year are skins for Annie and Ahri now!
Just looks like a discount Elementalist Lux tbh.
Keen for the Warwick skin though.
Another Lux skin?
I love new skin of lux , why all hate lux ??????
Oh Please shut up about lux We all know lux is bae Lmao And not alone that Please If anyone got spoiled last season with skins wasnt ahri And wasnt even annie Its Was Jhin!! He Got three God dang skins Like Be Real And three skins he Got were extremely high quality Skins too So cut lux some lack its been over a year since elementist and Big deal she has a ulimate skin but just cause she has that skin dont mean she dont deserve a new skin if it suits her right like this one does!!but i do feel bard should of gotten one of theses!
RIP aurelion and Taliyah.
Meanhwile lux gets another (almost) yearly skin.
Me: finally with the BE shop I got all the Warwick skins!
Rito: we made a new Warwick skin
Me: .....rito why?
Goddamnit. It's a WONDERFUL Warwick skin going to be spending a lot of money buying it for all my accounts..
That said: I was hoping it would be an Okami (Amaterasu) skin. I know its Japanese vs Chinese, but man that style would have fit the Lunar Revel theme!
