OFFICIAL THREAD THEME.
Sick track. Absolutely appropriate.
I really hope that the player base enjoys the skin line because it looks absolutely FANTASTIC, jesus christ even without ingame preview so far.
Definitely let us know how you feel about them when they are released. We’re open to any feedback, suggestions, or ideas you might have. :)
Ooh that explains it. Thank you!
No, thank you for supporting League with your passion and excitement. :)
We can’t do any of this without all of you.
wheres darius?
Darius unfortunately didn’t make this set. Assuming people enjoy Garen and Lucian then there’s a good chance you’ll see Darius and other champions in the world of Demacia Vice.
9.14
That does seem just a bit late? Event starts this Friday, skins release almost 2 weeks later? Not hating, the skins are awesome IMO, just asking
Our summer event runs over two patches this year. So you’ll have to wait unfortunately. :)
they just kinda snuk in demacia vice skins for garen and lucian, i hope theyre great
We hope everyone really enjoys them. We would love to explore more of the Demacia Vice thematic in the future, but we need to make sure players are interested in joining us on that journey first. :)
The event runs for 1 month which is 2 patches so I suppose these two skins are scheduled to release during the 2nd patch of the event.
This is correct. Demacia Vice skins will be hitting the rift in 9.14.
Was that... A Lucian and Garen skin tease at the end?
Wut.
We are super excited to bring Demacia Vice Lucian and Garen to the rift. These skins have been a huge passion project for the team. We hope you guys enjoy playing them as much as we enjoyed making them.
One of the absolute cleanest set of plays I’ve seen in recent years. Had to play it at 0.25x speed to even process what was happening. Cannot wait to attempt this and fail miserably.
Players like these inspire me. Through their dedication, time, and effort into a single champion, they discover new nuances and bring freshness to a kit that many thought was already well understood.
Thank you ShenShan UP.
Jumped into comments to find this out. Was not disappointed. Grats on the epic win. :)
While there’s some truly unnecessary hate here on this person’s rank, I just want to take a second and give some respect to someone who is so completely dedicated to a single champ. Grats mihabe.
Really appreciate folks coming out and trying to advocate on our behalf. My name is Bellissimoh and I’m the Lead Producer for Personalization on League.
I’ve spent most of my 15 year career working on “Free to Play” or service model based games. Almost every single company I’ve worked for has optimized for profit and ignored the concept of player trust.
Riot is the first place I’ve worked where the strategy isn’t myopically focused on generating revenue short term. If it were, then as you’ve noted, you’d likely not see skins like Dark Star Shaco or Papercraft Anivia. We believe that making skins like these connect us with our audience, reward players who are dedicated to those champs, and show people that we’re not just “all about the benjamins”.
On another note, we’re trying to find ways to increase the number of skins we’re capable of producing. In a world where we can create more skins per year, we can cover more champions, as well as better support the business. In the ...

No they are not. :)
Congratulations on hitting Diamond. As someone who has had the same goal for years as well, I can only imagine the sense of satisfaction of finally getting there. :)
thank you very much! Yea, you're probably right there! Thanks for the feedback
Your plays are great! Let them shine for themselves so people can appreciate them. :)
Really sick montage and plays. One bit of feedback though. There are times where you use an effect or screen movement to emphasize a key moment or outplay. Sometimes this disrupts the ability of the viewer to appreciate the play itself. Otherwise great video.
He's really unfun to play against and has one of the best lane phases (especially vs melee). But the downside is he has some of the worst scaling in the entire game as a top laner with dog shit team fighting.
Just straight up don't give him the opportunity to fight you in lane and take it slow
As someone who has played quite a bit of Kench top this is absolutely the right methodology to play around him successfully.
One of the best ways to improve and learn is to narrow your focus:
Several have suggested muting all other players. While this may not seem like a way for you to improve your play, it’s clear that the comments of others are affecting you and your confidence. Mute others until you feel like you’re more consistently doing well. Even at Platinum, most coordination is done via pings, so you likely won’t be missing out on that much.
Pick only 2-3 champs that are have low mechanical complexity. Some champions require many games played in order to reach their potential. (Vayne, Lee Sin, Yasuo) Try and pick and stick to some champs that are simple. (Warwick, Maokai, Garen). Less skill shots means you can narrow your focus to last hitting or jungle paths, rather than trying to learn how to actually land your abilities.
Pick one thing you want to improve on over your next 10 games. Maybe it’s higher average CS @ 10. Maybe it’s better dragon control. Pick one thing and measure yourse...
How do you successfully manage a wave against him. If you are a melee top you basically can’t walk up to the wave unless you are a select few champs and he just starts roaming if he is smart and getting leads elsewhere on the map once he is done fucking you in the ass.
It’s always easy to say just don’t fight him blah blah. But I’m really curious how I would approach making it so he gains no leads in lane or others lanes before we get to the phase where he is just useless.
Announce when he’s 6. Anytime he leaves lane aggressively ping missing. Sometimes I will even ping missing in addition to typing “watch out kench ulti”.
As far as laning goes, it’s pretty easy to bait kench into an all in when your jungler is around. Clear vision before jungler comes by. Let kench hit you and he will surely try to stack / stun / all in.
Also pre 6 you can potentially give up CS and either roam with your jungler into the enemy jungle or pressure mid. (Even a failed tank mid where you chunk the mid laner will help five them pressure and oftentimes the kench will shove, allowing you to potentially freeze at tower.)

All the creative teams involved are indeed consistently stepping up their game.
