It’s been a rough year for League of Legends<\/em> fans, but Riot Games has finally received some positive community feedback after unveiling five April Fools’ Day skins that left fans in shock at just how good they are.<\/p>
Following the removal and eventual reinstatement of
Following the announcement, the replies on League’s<\/em> official X account have turned positive for the first time in months. “Finally, peak skins have dropped,” League<\/em> streamer Drututt<\/a> exclaimed after looking at all five of the splash arts showcased on X. Due to the lack of good news coming out of League<\/em>, the X account was typically filled with memes about Hextech chests, which have finally slowed down to appreciate these fresh cosmetics. <\/p>
Fans of the skins were so excited that they even formed a Reddit thread<\/a> to gush about all the new cosmetics. “God these are all fantastic,” one user<\/a> shared after looking at the in-game models of each cosmetic. <\/p>
Generally, users in the thread<\/a> agree that all the skins shine because they were designed for the champions first, and didn’t shoehorn characters into one specific style or skin line. Going forward, fans are hopeful that Riot will take note of the positive response to these skins, and allow designers to flex their creative muscles more often.<\/p>
one gamer<\/a> shared on the thread after comparing the animations for both skins. Since both skins are placed within the same quality tier, fans are curious<\/a> why this new Shaco skin looks like it received more love and effort than Xayah’s. Nothing can be officially confirmed about the amount of work and effort each skin received, but fans are hoping<\/a> that Riot can respecify the skin tiers to make all Legendary skins feel unique and worthy of the title.<\/p>
