The winners of the season five World Championship are finally getting their skins. SK Telecom just got their second team skins after getting a set for winning season five worlds. There’s Ryze (who uses a laptop instead of a tome) Elise, Alistar, Renekton and Sivir. They will all cost 750 RP. Since their reveal yesterday, fans have been showing their displeasure with the skins. Bang, SKT’s bot laner, said he wanted Kalista as a skin and was disappointed when he got Sivir.
The SKT skins are very simple, and players think that there should be more to them. Last year, Imp’s Twitch was given a unique recall animation that had him rolling around on the grass, like Imp did in a 2014 World’s promotional video. Riot KateyKhaos wrote a now redacted Tweet that said nothing “iconic” happened. Redditors quickly mentioned Faker’s on-stage tumble that became a meme very quickly. I think the skins are fine: not everything has to have new particle effects and cost a lot of RP. Contrary to the popular belief, I think SKT Renekton and Sivir look sweet.
Infernal Diana is also out on the PBE. During last year’s All-Star game fans got to vote on which champion they wanted a skin for next. Diana was chosen, and to commemorate Team Fire’s victory over Team Ice we got this skin that’s to hot to handle. All of Diana’s spell particles look like flames, whooshing back and forth like a Teemo camp fire. In game it does look a bit like Wildfire Zyra, they both have the same hair and black outfit.
