It looks like a poor man's Dawnbringer Riven, especially with similar color schemes of yellow-orange and blue
Another blue Riven skin?
She's already got a lot of good skins.. meanwhile .. Even Camille would have been be a perfect Pulsefire candidate!

Riven is one of my most played champions, and the skin ain't that bad.. but damn, if had got it I would buy the skin in an instant. Plus, I already own Dawnbringer which I consider to be the most incredible skin in the entire game. All I see here is just a wasted opportunity

While I agree that they should have chosen another champ to get a Pulsefire skin, Camille is not a good candidate.

Her base skin already makes her a pretty scify cyborg and her only skin she has is Program, another technology based skin.

It would be redundant. What Camille needs as a next skin is something with a different thematic. For example, something magical. Like a Bloodmoon or Elderwood skin (just examples).

I think Riven should have gotten a Noxian full armour skin instead. Heck even Ionian Farmer Riven as a cheap skin.

Riot, where are the lore skins, they will sell like hotcakes.

Pulsefire Urgot?

He's not lacking in particles, and feels a bit left out because Eve and Swain both got new skins already despite their VGUs being after his.

Jayce Would have been the best choice imo.

But you know, they have to fill the pink quota because SJWs.

1st off Camille can't be Pulsefire.because she's Programme in the lore. And Pulsefire, Programme and Project are in the same timeline. That's what even Pulsefire Caitlyn'd interaction approves. If you want to give miss mechanical legs lady a skin you can start with Mecha's. Really, a motorcicle animation recall would be interesting, but that's my opinion I guess. 2nd, Pulsefire Riven resembles Pulsefire Caitlyn way too much, or perhaps all Pulsefire ladies have square brests & chests? That I do not know off. And if that's the reason why Riven looks so similar to Cait, then I find it justified.

Tbh even pulsefire Riven doesn't even look that great to begin with. Ekko would of been a better choice lol

I get you want up votes so now you are attacking a popular champion getting a skin, but you need to realize popular champions are popular. They have the highest player base fans. You can't constantly ignore popular champions to get skins for champions 1/10000 people play. Riot is addressing the skin issue, clearly with the epic tf and shen skins, but Riot knows they have to also fund their projects and tf and shen alone wont make up the difference. So giving a popular champion a skin needs to be done for various reasons. Asol will get another skin it's confirmed and I'm sure the others will as well.

Honestly the skin is ugly as f.

Yeah, I agree. I think tbh the skin should have been given to someone else and Riven should have gotten a skin later this year. RIP POOLPARTY RIVEN DREAM.

I was thinking this, honestly, and my bf (a Riven player) even agreed it should have gone to someone more deserving. It's just way to soon after a Legendary for her to be getting another.
