A new skin will soon be joining League of Legends<\/em> that will separate fans of a certain mid lane time-bending champion from the superfans\u2014and it’s likely to stir up even more discontent among players.<\/p>
Keeping with the theme of in-game bands to celebrate the annual World Championship, Riot Games is not only welcoming the new HEARTSTEEL skins to the Rift but also a new Mythic Variant\u2014this time in the form of Breakout True Damage Ekko, who rocked the stage just a few years ago. This is now the second Mythic Variant released in League<\/em> following Dark Cosmic Erasure Jhin<\/a> a few months ago, which sparked massive controversy within the community due to its high price tag<\/a>.<\/p>
In a new developer post<\/a> today, Riot 100 pc nuggets, the product lead for the skins team, admitted that Dark Cosmic Erasure Jhin had fallen short of players\u2019 expectations in terms of differentiation from the original skin and said the team placed more time and effort into Breakout True Damage Ekko. This Mythic Variant includes updated visual effects complete with dark blue and golden accents, as well as changes to some of the aspects of his recall and sound effects to fit the new hip hop\/piano focus this skin sets out to portray.<\/p>
Breakout True Damage Ekko is expected to be available for testing on League<\/em>\u2019s PBE in the next few days. While a specific release date on the official servers has not yet been revealed, players should expect it\u2014as well as the associated event capsules\u2014to be added to the game alongside the HEARTSTEEL skins<\/a> with Patch 13.22 on Nov. 8.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
