Woah lots of skins this patch! Soraka gets our new Dual Skin after quite a while since Leona's Legendary! I think I really like the concept of these skins.
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
External link →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.
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.
I just have a small note about this (obviously you know the stats better than I) but I think "winter" themed skins like Soraka's would be more popular than pure "Christmas/ Santa" skins for snow down. So maybe do more generic themed ones like that instead, because that skin really is so gorgeous.
But each cycle you can do one or two fun ones like Kandy Kayn and Christmas Eve.
Appreciate the suggestion and definitely an approach we’ll consider in the future among others. :)
Hi, here's my personal take as someone who LOVES the winter skins. Skins like Frozen Prince Mundo that have a slightly more "general" theme and quality chromas are among my favorites and something I use all year. Skins like Snow Faun Poppy are lovely too, but feel better to use during the holidays. I urge you guys to revisit the Snowdown skins and keep trying new things like you did last year!
Thanks again OakWheat. Really appreciate the specific feedback and thoughts around this thematic.
Just wanted to offer a little piece of feedback too: my personal favorite winter skins are Snow Day, where it's just champs in the winter gear! It's one of the more casual skin lines which i really appreciate Edit: a typo
Definitely has an appeal that’s potentially wider than the more holiday centric ones. Thanks for engaging constructively and providing feedback, we really appreciate it.
hi i know im late to the thread but does this mean that there will not be an opportunity to buy any of the snow/christmas themed skins this year either?
Snowdown skins will be back and available during the 9.24 patch.
