Just wanted to give a little bit of feedback here, i know im just one person and it probably does not matter, but i played a few games of Braum in earlier seasons and got the Santa Braum skin in "your shop" i think.

Naturally i always played this skin when i picked Braum because it was the only one i had, but after a while it felt weird to pick "Santa Braum" in the middle of summer and i didnt feel like the effects fit to the usual summoners rift.

I love the concept behind those skins though and i hope they make a return eventually.

Appreciate the feedback MegaBaum. Like Star Guardians in 2018, sometimes it can be really healthy to take a year off from a skin line. Helps us reset or reorient thematically and take our time to identify something that either changes things up or hits harder on the elements of a thematic that players really enjoy.

Hi Bellissimoh, can I ask when we are getting that upcoming skin blog you have mentioned a while back about increasing skin numbers and making more precise choices for unpopular champions?

There will be something coming out around start of season for 2020.

Hey Bellissimoh was it intentional then to do another VS event since I thought Cats vs Dogs was for this year

The Dawnbringer / Nightbringer skin release is not a VS event.

These arent christmas skins right? they dont seem to have anything to do with christmas

Snowdown skins have been fairly polarizing from a results and engagement perspective. We’re taking a break from Snowdown skins this year and trying something different.

ThePaperZebra

Damn, we're really not getting snowdown event/skins this year.

Yes. Snowdown historically hasn’t been the most popular skin line, and even the most purchased Snowdown skins don’t see a high amount of usage from players that own them. (Not even during the winter / snowdown season)

This year we wanted to try something new. Looking forward to hearing more feedback once everyone can experience Nightbringer / Dawnbringer and Sugar Rush in-game.

Also to note: This doesn’t mean that Snowdown will never return, but we need to spend more time understanding what works or doesn’t work with that thematic before we bring it back.

Walvrus

Yes you got it wrong . For a substitute player to get a skin he needs to play 2 groupstage games or 1 knockout games .

For a player to get a skin for a specific champ he needs to play a champ at least once.

This is correct. ;)

Hey all. Just wanted to say thanks for the feedback.

Every patch we push content to PBE and then examine and parse the feedback from players. Sometimes there are simple adjustments that are easy to do and our teams are happy to change them.

Other times there are larger changes that require more time than we have available before we ship the patch or introduce such large changes that it creates new additional risks to the successful delivery and overall quality / stability of the content.

We’re always trying to do the best we can, and it’s when players provide really productive feedback that’s solution oriented, thats when collaboration between players and devs are at its best.

Thanks u/boydlr. Appreciate the feedback.

It's really important for players to understand that when we announce new games, it IS the end of the world and—further—our fans should consider any non-PC game from Riot to be a personal attack on them, their families, and their very way of life.

Thanks and GGs summoners!

I feel personally attacked.

There will be one more event pass before the end of the year (Snowdown, I believe), so if you get both that and the Worlds pass you’ll have enough.

This is correct. There will be one more event pass at the end of the year.

Thutmose was an absolute pleasure to work with. It was such an honor to write for him. #blessed.

I am so excite for these skins. Truly inspiring work all around.

Spideraxe30

Thanks Bellissimoh, could I also ask if Prestige Thresh is showing up tomorrow since he isn't on today

That will be in an upcoming patch. You’ll see it on PBE well before launch.

Spideraxe30

Oh yeah are you able to share if Zilean is still getting a skin this year

Yes there will be. ;)

Well, Sewn Chaos Amumu and Blitzcrank were literally removed from PBE because there was so much complaining about their quality. As much as anybody complains about Mecha ASol, he was tweaked lots till he was acceptable. KDA Ahri Prestige had the hue on her tails tweaked because they looked like pee (both on splash and model). Last one i remember was Morgana rework on that skin i can't remember, but her binding was red while on the splash was purple, and it was changed to red on the splash to reflect it. That's all the changes i remember but i think there were more last years.
And yeah, all these changes were tweeted and/or announced on forums, sometimes even from art directors

All of these are great examples.

Feedback from PBE is absolutely part of our process for creating skins. Sometimes we make small tweaks based on feedback, sometimes we review and debate larger changes that have the potential to impact delivery timelines.

One thing to call out is that this community (Reddit) is one of many global communities and often has differing feedback depending on the region.

In the end it’s up to our creative teams to process all the comments and feedback and make calls on what to address before ship, and what are things we should make sure we consider next time we revisit a particular champion or thematic.

Hey Bellissimoh, is there any team you’re rooting/excited to make skins for next week

Honestly all four teams going into semis would have amazing narratives as World Champions. :)

Kind of a non answer but man o man I’m excited to see G2 vs FPX next week.

I am up and so far it is worth.

Kantorek_

So goood!

So very good. :)

Cylansse

Will it be the same for Senna or will it be through another event?

Senna will be available at a later date that is yet to be announced.

10kk

Both will likely be available until the tokens expire (Nov 25)

Correct both will be available.

djanulis

is she a prestige points or a coin champ i forgot?

She will be available via the Worlds Pass once the True Damage Skins are released on live.

aFabulousGuy

For 2000 tokens?

This is correct.
