Hello Riot and hello everyone else, This post is about the new upcoming skin called ''Battle Bat Xayah''. I don't really know where to begin so I will just get straight into what could be fixed. The sounds of her abilities are a bit dull... and with this I mean that her W and E are feeling empty. I replied to Riot's official twitter here so you can check out the video for yourself: https://x.com/VioletRavenlol/status/1805624247563247971

Xayah W: You can compare this to base Xayah skin. But when Xayah uses W until the effect wears off. you cannot hear the mini tune it has in the background. This is what I am missing in her W. Her other skins do have that so when I first saw and heard her W go off it felt empty.

Xayah E: As for her E... Her E is probably the main issue here. The tone after the ''root'' is too quiet and can't be heard that much. Which results her E feeling empty and doesn't sound like you are rooting for 1.5 seconds. Hopefully Riot can fix this by making the tune a bit louder after the root animation, so it actually feels like they have been rooted for the amount of time that was promised.

This is my first time ever writing some feedback to Riot regarding skins so if this isn't as how it should be then I understand it 100%. Thank you for your time and reading this!

Hello there! I'm the SFX designer on Battle Bat Xayah. Thanks for the feedback!
As for the W - it should definitely be playing the mini tune in the background - there was a bug that was somehow stopping that sound from playing, which I fixed but not in time for the video team to record. I'll double check to see

As for the E - I'll try to increase the presence of the hit, and make it longer so that it's clear that the root is lasting for 1.5 seconds.
