Don't get me wrong, its not like they aren't making good skins anymore or anything. but not only is this skin for an underloved champ and skinline, quality really seeps through every aspect of it.

The little aliens for meeps and UFO effect for his healing pods are super clever and the animations/sounds that accompany them are unique and interesting. The colours are new and unlike other tech-y skins, are not a single neon palette but rather varied and one that holds depth.

The idea behind his horn becoming a satellite, the long, droopy hat becoming excess cords, its all such a well executed design.

Bard was the perfect choice for your puffy, faceless spacesuit guy and I think they've executed it perfectly.

(And I'm not even a Bard player if that removes any bias)

Really glad that people are digging this Bard skin. Our hope when we hit on a champ that hasn’t gotten a skin in a while is that we hit it out of the park, so really a feel good moment when we see reactions like these and confirmation that the attention to detail is noticed and appreciated.

We really care about getting it right, we may not get it right all the time, but damnit we really do try.

I will be buying this skin though I hardly play bard. The skin is that good the whole line is really good but I agree best skin in forever.

Really appreciate the support. (And I’m sure Bard mains appreciate it too) :)

Ivern mains are crying.

We know we didn’t hit in what mains wanted with Dunkmaster Ivern and we’ve made some changes to our internal processes in order to help ensure we get things right moving forward. Again can’t promise we’ll please everyone all the time, but we’re doing our best to improve.

Is there anything prepared for quinn in the near future? :'( all her skins are subpar

It’s true that she’s never even had an epic quality skin made for her. Can’t promise anything but we are definitely trying to hit all of those champs that haven’t had something in a while.

Sorry but i feel like you only reply to praises and not to constructive criticisms.
for Zyra's skin many players told you that the Coven is a repeat theme (dark witch) after Dragon Sorceress and Haunted, that her color scheme for base skin is again monochrome and dark, that she is now turning into Udyr (animal summoner - first dragons and now crows), her recall is not good and feels copy paste.
But we never heard from you or the team on why Coven was chosen

It feels like you wanted to make Legendary Morgana and just fixed Zyra to go along. Like so many feedbacks led to finally adding flowers to Q, E & R and some glows to make that skin somewhat ok (especially Prestige is now ok but base is not ok).

Like the base point which we are not getting is that many players play Zyra because she is plant/nature based champion so why her skins are everything but fulfilling her core fantasy?

Yasuo, Yi and so many others are swordsmen in whatever skin thematic is designed for them. So why Zyra is turning into summoning animals now instead of focusing on nature inspired designs and flower themes?

Just because we don’t comment on criticisms doesn’t mean we don’t read or absorb them. Zyra was not an appendage to Morgana, we believed she was a solid addition to the Coven line.

What I think I’m hearing from you here is that you’d rather see some thematic diversity. If that is in fact your feedback here then consider it noted.

As a Bard main I want to second that - it is a truly great skin, instabuy for me as well. I do have a tangentially related question - is golden Snow Day Bard ever going to be available again? I was unable to play during that event and missed the skin, and now it is the only skin of his I don't have

Unfortunately we don’t have any plans to bring him back currently. Loot is probably the only way to get it atm, unless we decide to revisit snowdown again in the future.

Sorry no clear answer for you here unfortunately.

Do you have something in the pipeline coming up for Kled? Dragon Trainer? 🥺

Again can’t pre announce any upcoming releases but can promise that we’re looking at a lot of champions that haven’t gotten skins in a while.
