Star Guardian Title Music...

The music is gorgeous, so props to whoever composed it - however, I do have a small complaint. It doesn't fit the theme. It's what I'd classify as "trance" or "chill" and it's very slow, cosmic, and somber. The basis for these skins is anime magical girls, and if you've ever seen shows with this theme, you'll know that slow, somber, trance music is about the furthest thing from this genre of bubbly J-pop, energetic electronic music, and powerful love ballads. So while the piece that on the PBE is beautiful, it doesn't fit the thematic whatsoever. I would recommend sidelining it for use on a later champion or skin and making a piece of music that fits the Star Guardian thematic more.

So is everyone just going to downvote this without explanation?

Welcome to LoL boards haha, but honestly people probably just disagree.

I agree! This was not meant to be a piece like that, it's more of the end of a Guardian's journey. This music was actually made by doing an ambient remix of an upcoming piece of music that I think you'll enjoy. Sit tight!

Oh, so was this part of the mini event on the website? Can't wait to hear the larger piece.

They said last week that with the added plus of fan demand for a longer version of the song, Rito employees will make the longer song with added sparkle of joy since fans really love the small minute long version and want something longer.

It was actually made specifically for the SR in game music (since you can't really have anything but ambient stuff work on SR), just to enhance the Star Guardian-y-ness when heading out to lane, then made it to PBE with the login screen. EdTheConqueror is the guy working on it, and that guy always kills it with the music he's done!

Oh good! That also explains why it's nowhere near as long as other login screen music. Speaking of, any plans for you guys to release any kind of compilation of login music? It's been fantastic over the years, and I'd like to have a lot of them on my iTunes.
