Actions bro, I hear they're louder then words.
To me, Steel Legion was the skin Lux needs. That is the PFE of Lux skins. And it's people like you that kept it from being released. Don't pretend that you are speaking for everyone who ever played Lux.

I don't know, her playstyle doesn't seem like it's something that would be scaring people away. I mean all it is 3 skills that get impowered by a 4th. Lee Sin, Nidalee and Jayce imo are more scary playstyles but people love those guys.

i'm not going to admonish a company for attempting to make money by making an improved product just pointing out that denying it is in some ways insulting.


i do have a question thou since you seem to be generous about answering skin related questions here.

do you have any idea how many skins are in production at a time. from concept to post production? or at least an average number?
To be honest, it does have -some- financial upswing, but magnitudes less than anything else we could do with the effort. My point is if we had some bad business dudes who told us what to do, our content additions would look much different. This is a big part of why I'm all about Riot.

I don't know how many skins right now as I'm just getting in the mix over there, but it's not a small amount.

I wonder.. If Karma gets a new voiceover , I hope Danielle McRae is hired again to do It , right? I don't want a different voice actress for Karma.

I dunno. So few people play her I think the legacy of her playstyle is acceptable collateral damage if you just reinvent her. Seriously. Poll the players. I wouldn't be surprised if you had a strong majority gunning for a complete rework that bears no resemblance to the priginal.

They will probably give Sion a full rework of his model and kit.

Sivir needs a bit of an update, Taric could also use one. Annie never looked that bad imo, but the new visuals do look good, so obviously there was room for improvement.

Then why start a conversation at all? I'm not going to to poop a good Lux skin out on command.

Seriously though I am looking less and less interested in this remake the more I learn about it.

It's probably not gonna be that bad, but after the Kat and Fiora holiday skins...

Incidentally, is she getting a new skin with the remake? Because Sakura Karma's name lies and Sun Goddess Karma has a theme I dislike.
Where the heck did you read that? Dude said nothing like that.

Thank you so much. As a Karma player, you have no idea how reassuring this is to hear.
