@Riot - Regarding SSG Xayah and Rakan's Loading Screens

BladeSingularity·7/2/2018, 8:30:26 PM·96 votes·44,742 views

First off I want to start by saying I am super hyped for these skins, as a Xayah main (and fan of both champs in general) I'm excited to see them get another skin. And sorry to those of you who are still waiting for a skin for their champion(s), hopefully you'll get an epic new skin for your main(s) soon.

But there's one thing that's bugging me. And that's THIS:

The loading screens have horrendous overlap - they are not lined up AT ALL, and overall look like a mess when put side by side. As someone who enjoys skin matching with my duo, I love how Cosmic, Sweetheart, and even the classic loading screens fit together beautifully. This, however, does not look good. At all. (At least to me.)

So, Riot, could you help out a Xayah main here and adjust the loading screens so that SSG Xayah and Rakan's loading screens line up reasonably well, like their other skins do? If it won't work due to the special loading screens (the signed ones) I understand, but I really hope this can be adjusted. Thanks!

holy fuck that ruler signature looks like its been wrote by a child. Hopefully that doesn't have to be included in the loading screen splash.

I feel like the biggest problem in fixing this is the spacing between Xayah and Rakan in the entire splash. It'll be hard to center them in an "aesthetically pleasing" way because there isn't much space to work with

Yeah, they really need to fix it. I'm planing to gift my DuoQ Partner the Xayah skins, but how can we use them if they look so awful on loading screen.

THANK YOU. It bugs the absolute hell out of me as well, how hard can it be to just line them up??

good art, bad planning.

i agree with you OP.

i dont play xayah or rakan, (mostly because i dont have a significant other or friends and soloing with one of either in lane is lame)

######BUT

I do think the splash art is jank. someone should have done some choreography for this scene before guessing at it. sometimes i swear riot artists are just so talented they neglect to do the little things and it works out most of the time, but then there are those few moments where the splash just falls apart.

like when you're writing a happy birthday card and you start off with too much enthusiasm and you end up with

I was really hoping to hear something, anything from Riot about this... hopefully a Rioter sees this before it drops off the front page. crosses fingers

Anyway, thank you to everyone for the support. I really appreciate it.

Riot-senpai, please acknowledge us!

I have an update, guys! Others have been reaching out to Riot employees on various social media platforms, and looks like they're going to consider fixing the splash if they can.

Why are xayah and rakan getting mediocre skins....these splashes are good.....without the signatures.

BladeSingularity7/8/2018, 3:55:35 PM1 votes

Still nothing from Riot ... hopefully they're at least considering it. An update would be nice though, even if it was just to tell us they can't adjust the loading screens.
