If you didn't know, Sirhaian is a VFX artist who started off making custom skins but was hired by Riot and has been working for them since. He's worked on a bunch of different skins so far, but has also been redesigning the VFX of older champions. These updates have made the champions much more easy to see what they're doing, and I think they might have been making them more viable at the same time. If we look at the playrates of these champions in pro (and maybe even regular) play, I think that there's a noticeable uptick. Examples of these might be kennen, lee sin, olaf and jax. I think that these updates are some of the most exciting things currently coming out of riot games and sirhaian, you should definitely keep up the good work!

I’ve really been enjoying these as well. I think these updates are not only improving clarity and learnability of gameplay but also clarity and strength of character fantasy.

I'm an Insighter who works on the Skins team, and Riot Sirhaian is one of the most amazing people I've worked with. His craftsmanship is out of this world, and he's always looking to make something that wows and delights our players.

...no, that's not right.

...He's always looking to BLOW OUR F*CKING PLAYERS' MINDS. (!!!!!!!)

It makes me so happy to see him getting some special recognition here. He deserves it. Way to go, Kevin!
