Frosk knows a thing or two about LPL teams...
Motivation. Work. Improvement. Leave.
do you actually get RP for drawing art? I thought that was just a meme. The whole, "I was 3 RP short of skin X so I drew this POS God Staff Jax."
You mean that's a real thing?
Yup! Our agents love getting RP art and many have their favorite drawings. We also accept other forms of art too if drawing isn't your style.
Can you still do this? And if so where do I send them
You write into player support requesting art for RP! We usually will help you out with some RP if you're close to a skin. We also take other forms of creative expression too!
Some of our favorites are also on display in our campus lobby:
Waitwaitwaitwait, can you dash over it now?
Yes
Weird way to spell Nidalee
Wtf ur walking bout its Karthus
Same here. My 48% win rate after 30 games isn’t spooky
It is if I’m your support
bladecraft orianna is the one used by the best orianna players it is pure coincidence that i also happen to use that skin
more seriously: desperada cassiopeia.
I love how goofy this team is
Hey Bellissimoh!
Thanks for all the hard work you put in this year! Very much appreciate it in the name of all communities in LoL! (Especially Urgots)
I am sorry if you are not allowed to say, but how up is Pajama Urgot & did Pengu Tristana and Furyhorn Veigar do good enough? I'd definitely dig more of these cosplay skins. :)
Don’t want to go into too much detail here but Star Guardian Urgot was a long time requested / meme skin for players and the results definitely reflected that affinity. :)
Read moreseeing the list you guys wrapped up alleviates a lot of my worries when it comes to underloved champions. Are you all keeping track on the worst remaining offenders such as quinn, kalista and shyvana? I feel like asking this might sound a bit thankless, but I honestly think you guys made an insane work this year to make justice to a historically less appreciated playerbase and I'm just eager to see the day on which "x champ has no skin in 2+ years" are a thing of the past.
While I'm at it, it would be interesting if you guys took a careful look at themes seen as champion dump boxes such as infernal, that are usually left for underappreciated champions. It would be nice if there was more of a fantasy regarding the infernal universe in order to make those skins look more appealing and effortful, because even if you release good skins on those themes, if they don't get lore, don't get major tier skins (such as legendaries) or at least some artwork, anything more than just t...
Appreciate the write up and thoughtful feedback. Without making any clear promises, I will say that we are in fact keeping an eye on all champs and how long it’s been since their last skin. We haven’t forgotten about anyone...
Btw, not sure if youd like feedback on J4s Poolparty skin here but as a guy with 5 of his skins and him being my go to jungler, I just think Pool Party didnt add anything that made him worth the purchase
I mean, he looks nice and the effects are alright but the theme doesnt fit that well and compared to SSG J4, the skin doesnt feel like an upgrade over it
Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate productive criticism, it’s incredibly helpful.
I honestly appreciate all the transparency and the way you guys lay out the reasoning for why you do (or don’t do) things. Not just skins specifically, but in general. Of course you can never make everyone happy but people are much more receptive if they know WHY things happen.
Also I love the behind the scenes stats and data.
The key to any relationship is communication. We very much value our relationship with our players so it’s incredibly important we communicate our intentions and our goals. Really glad you liked it. Thanks for supporting League and Riot. :)
which skins are the ones all the way at the top of the graph, from left to right? if you can talk about that
Can’t go into full detail but one I’ll call out is one of the top skins purchased by mains was Mecha Aurelian Sol.
What is Riot opinion on Astronaut Bard and overall skin line.Do you think they were successful this year?As a Bard main,the majority of opinions was that Astronaut skins this year were the best skins we had in a while.Just wanted to know what Riot thinks about that.
Astro Bard was definitely a success by multiple definitions and expectations. Bard fans showed up in droves, and a lot of non-Bard mains also found the thematic compelling enough to engage. It’s very likely you’ll see more Astronauts in the future.
Extremely well done article, u/Bellissimoh i hope to see you write more of these. It’s not often a Riot article really explains analytical data.
Thanks Hanyodude. It’s honestly one of my favorite parts of the job. As a player of League I can have an opinion about a particular skin, then there’s what social media and Reddit think or say broadly, then finally there’s the actual results and data. Being able to combine all of these things and then work with a multi-disciplinary team to try and improve and iterate, it’s a Producers dream tbh.
Glad you enjoyed the article and will try and include more analytics and behind the scenes looks in the future. :)
I'm really glad that Riot is finally moving in the right direction for unpopular champs + monster champs. Things like the new Asol and skarner skins really align with what the mains of those champions want imo: things that are just straight up cool/beastly, nothing gimmicky. Keep it up!
Appreciate the support and kind words. :)
