EDIT 2: Don't credit me for doing the edit; someone else made it. I just found it on Twitter and realized that Boards and hopefully Riot could take a look.
Not sure if this is posted here before, though someone else made a nice edit of it.

A more "princely" look would be quite fitting to whatever he is already wearing, no?
EDIT: Boards why are you not embedding this awesome image, come on [sg-janna]
The biggest flaw with this skin IMO is that they covered up his chest. It's madness I tell you.
I do think its a massive improvement with still keeping the skin visually similar. :)
Both the skins need fixing...
Lots of it
I completely support your edit. Looks great!
I wanted these skins for Rakan and Xayah ever since they came out but this concept is just really bad. I don't think i'll like the skin as long as he's forced to wear such a silly costume and i don't think it fits their characters to be stuck in some dull costumes, it just seems forced. A simpler design would fit them so much better, think Heartseeker Varus.
I like it, I mentioned in the one post riot posted on that the cloak needed work and that his crown was far to small given that it's Rakan (he's over the top and flashy, would he seriously only wear a small crown?) and I'd be very happy to see the puffy sleeves removed.
These edits definitely show a lot more respect to Rakan's costume design and the color pallet of the Sweetheart skins, that's for sure.
I thought that skin had no hope but that edit looks SOOOOOOOOOOO good.
Yeah, something like that would improve him, that's for sure.
Even if the edit is incredibly superior. Riot won't listen.
When the new blitzcrank skin came out, everyone and their brother said to get rid of that stupid walk cycle even when it was first introduced back in PBE. Everyone said that the walk animation ruined the overall badassiness of the skin. But they didn't listen.
Chances are, they won't listen to this one ether. :(
The edit is far too overloaded for a league model, but I would appreciate some more detail on his feathers.
sorry not an adc not qualified
Fire whoever made the original. Hire whoever revamped it.
THIS IS GEAT, I VE BEEN HOPING someone would make a boards on NA so i wouldnt have to do it (lol) papa bless I hope this will actually get in game. But it actually sounds complicated. wouldnt riot have to buy the design from the person something?[zombie-brand-mindblown] im not sure how willing would they be do to that [sg-lulu]
Wow, now that I look at the two side-by-side, rakan looks extremely plain.
HIRE WHO EVER MADE THIS LMAO LOOKS WAY BETTER
I still want his smexy as to be shirtless

It's called the pbe for a reason... Also when you have something to say about the PBE you're supposed to post it in the PBE boards. All skins get changed at least once or twice after the skin spotlights videos/ surrender at 20 posting pictures. That's why they usually reupload them pre-release so you know what the skin is actually going to look like. I don't know if you've seen recent skin quality, but no way was riot going to leave Rakan looking like that. Useless post imo.
oh nice :o i main rakan, wouldn't buy a skin for rakan but i would want your skin @cancerous lulu but sometime rito don't listen becuz they are dumb to listen and sometime can be very stupid about releasing crap stuffs over new season except illaio battlecast skin which i been waiting for 2nd skin for illaio like thousand years..... i deinitely not proud of rito release skin for lux, lux already gotten enough skins...... since rito make lunar skin for honoring year of the dog, that considerally Lux a female dog or a great bitch so rito plz*[sg-zephyr]*
even if they didnt want to put more effort into the hair/face/pants the top neeeeeeeds to be changed. I like the shoulders in this one but he would also be perfectly fine just showing a lot more skin. I mean look at the varus skin, hes wearing like 1 leather strap, rakan has way too much shirt on.
guys this needs more attention, normally fan art is decent or meh, but this is honestly the type of beautiful, ravishing skin Rakan deserves, the art is truly amazing and needs to be made into a reality,it just fits so much more with the theme of xayah and rakan
im crying i love this*[sg-jinx]*
I really don't think there's any way to salvage it, though they aren't exactly working with the best base to begin with, hard to make him look even remotely attractive.
A lot of time players make better versions of the skins or ideas for skins than even the design team.
Too bad we can't have the same quality of tlc put towards balancing the game.
Thank you for this. My life is complete.
Much better. The Rioters churning out these steaming hot piles of shit at the moment should be sacked.
SOMEONE MAKE THIS HAPPEN. RIGHT NOW. I WANT THIS SKIN. SOMEONE HIRE THIS PERSON.[sg-lux]
