The French Twitter just uploaded a video of what will be the new Lunar Revel skins! Warring Kingdoms Vi, Garen and Azir!

Also as a note, these'll be on the pbe soon, but won't be released until next year since Riot won't be working the holidays.

EDIT: Also apparently there's a Space skin for Gangplank too. Dreadnova Gangplank.

WHAT?

But we have a whole month between December and February! Aren't heartseeker skins a bit early?

Sukishoo2 votes

Yeah it does seem a bit early for these but they are here.

To be fair, this patch won't be going live till early January. Still a month early though, but whatever.

Ralanr1 votes

Yeah, still early.

You think rito's gonna let something like the calendar get in the way of milking manchildren people for all the money they're willing to throw at shiny crap?

Unplayable?

So bad that there is no point in picking him.

GreenLore1 votes

Well he is getting buffed next patch and might receive further buffs in the patch that will contain the skin.

But how tho? What specifically makes him unplayable? Because I find him hard to play against...

AhmCha2 votes

He was a top tier mid laner for a while, but Riot nerfed him to the point where everything he did was simply underwhelming.

Basically it happened because Azir, even in a balanced state, is pick or ban in competitive because his kit is overloaded to the point where he can basically do anything other mid laners can. He has sustained damage, burst, poke, siege, engage, disengage, and he's a lane bully that scales into a late game carry. He can still be made useful to the dedicated player, but to the rest of the League community he's underwhelming at best.

Maximus Sr1 votes

He has the worst win rate lmao.... thats why hes unplayable.. he hasnt been in the meta for a very long time now.

I have literally never fangasmed for a skin before this Azir one. GJ Riot. I concede defeat.

Gangplank got what was coming to him in that recall. What a heartless bastard.

I know Metal and Punk are mortal enemies.

But hot damn I need that Vi skin to complete my set!

Riot please, I need some money to get that bass guitar as well, ffs...

Ralanr1 votes

I need to learn Vi now. Now if only my team didn't need a CC tank so I could rush the damn triforce!

Mommy Elise1 votes

COC with warrior, Triforce, into tank.

Ralanr1 votes

I usually want to build that but triforce takes so damn long to build.

OHminus1 votes

Warrior + Trinity is almost a must, but if you really are deterred by the cost, just go Iceborn against heavy AD, Maw against heavy AP, or Deadmans if unsure as the 2nd item. Titanic is a good item only if you have attack speed - which almost definitely means a Trinity.

Mommy Elise1 votes

Not that long if you farm well and snowball :3

Also, Sheen is a massive powerspike.

KoKoboto3 votes

Tbh I think Triforce falls off hard on Vi If you're currently practicing her try going Death's Dance or any other item. I notice that in cases where I can't 100-0 the squishies due to supports/cc/healing Triforce falls off hard. Death's Dance gives sustain and tankyness allowing Vi to fight longer.

OHminus1 votes

Death's Dance is interesting, but I think attack speed on Vi is absolutely vital. Triforce gives more burst in the way of Sheen, massive attack speed, 25 ad (other items may give more but this is sufficient) and health. It's way too good of an item to pass up. The only thing deterring you is the cost, and that really shouldn't be a problem anyway since the only case in which you won't have enough gold by 16~18 min is when you are very behind (and that's when you just rush tank)

EndlessSorcerer1 votes

Honestly, this is the first Vi skin I like more than her default.

Definitely picking it up.

Vi can function pretty well as an off-tank. If need be, consider building Deadman's Plate before Trinity Force (possibly afer buying Sheen).

Alternatively, you could try building Tiamat -> Cinderhulk into Trinity Force or Titanic Hydra when you need to initiation and tank for your team. It might not be quite as optimal, but it can work rather well.

Ralanr1 votes

Warrior or cinderhulk on offtank Vi?

EndlessSorcerer1 votes

Either can work.

If you really want durability, building Titanic Hydra/Trinity Force -> Cinderhulk -> Deadman's Plate provides decent damage and high durability.

That said, I would recommend asking or researching players who are more experienced with her regarding your options.

Malicious Metal1 votes

Well. I found Warriors->Gage->trinity pretty effective Early sheen/phage helps too

Ralanr1 votes

Warrior into Steraks? I'll have to try that.

Malicious Metal1 votes

Steraks is dirt cheap, it's easily acquirable and gives you the bulk you need to dive the enemy.

AhmCha1 votes

Wait, a bass IRL? Ooh something outside of League I actually know about! What bass are you looking to get MM?

Malicious Metal1 votes

Vision XB-500 Metal Bass guitar.

This one http://gsfanatic.com/aas_hirdetes/pic/695892_kgrhqeoko4fifytprbskdpcnzjw6057.jpg

I'm trying to branch out after having played electric guitar for the past four or so years.

AhmCha1 votes

Cool! I don't really have anything meaningful to offer, I was just curious, best of luck with that!

All us Aurelion Sol mains are now returning back to the corner where we shall continue our grief.

Oh my god dat recall for the Gangplank skin xDD

Tattersall1 votes

The Illaoi is real.

EDIT: Nvm, the Illaoi is dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKce96nhHVY

GreenLore2 votes

Now I want Illaoi to get a Dreadnova skin that replaces her tentacles and her idol with the tentacle and the small guy from GPs recall.

GreenLore2 votes

While I think that Azir was a really great choice for the warring-kingdoms theme,I am a bit disappointed that he doesn't seem to use terracotta soldiers

Penta Penguin2 votes

is that Azir doing the "god move" in Go?

Malevolent Metal2 votes

New Garen and Azir skins? Right after they got buffed? What lucky "coincidence" right.

Critmaster Garen1 votes

that is the first garen skin that actually does something cool with the spin animation.

it looks fucking amazing.

i love the entire design of his armor and scimitar aswell. and holy crap, the sounds of his q, ult and w.

i like how Steel legion did the spin as well... D: [zombie-nunu-bummed]

MetalGearTeemu1 votes

Kinda surprised by the warring kingdom Garen skin, since Rogue Admiral is basically Xiahou Dun (if you go by his most common Dynasty Warrior's looks.)

I don't mind it, but I still think he could have used his Archmage Garen legendary with Deathfire Grasp as his truncheon.

Knova1 votes

does the vi skin have any different emotes or anything?
