This was a skin my team worked on and yeah this is definitely not intended. We have this fixed internally now and it should be fixed for players this week.
Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the report!

Hm. Interesting.
I think the issue here then is that she was supposed to be the mid mage of the year, but 90%+ of the target audience (Sona/Lux players) are pure support players.
Is that why she's been successful (likely intentionally) support and just left there? Why was she advertised as a mid mage when she obviously isn't one and was never intended to be one?
We targeted her to be viable mid/support like Lux/Morgana. She ended up resonating more strongly with supports, but as long as she is viable in mid we are happy with whatever percentage lane she gets played in more or less. Currently she is viable in both lanes, so she still hits mid players if they choose to play her in that lane.
Man, if that's the case, then her release ultimate skin and non-Piltovan appearance makes even less sense.
Well we felt she would really resonant with players that liked K/DA and we also wanted to experiment with launching a champ with a legendary or ultimate skin since we had never done that before. K/DA and Worlds felt like a big enough moment to try something crazy like that
Hey if the whole is engagement and not money, I am truly baffled by Seraphine, and seemingly so are most players.
With Seraphine we wanted to make a simple accessible mage that would be appealing to Lux/Sona players. We felt we hadn't made a really simple mage in along time, and we thought she would be really popular among that crowd (which she has been) We wanted to make a popstar/singer archetype in the game for a long time as we felt it was a popular archetype that didn't yet exist in the game. Sona occupies more of a musician/bard archetype and Karthus more of a lich/wight. Contrary to popular belief on this subreddit, we actually locked Seraphines art/kit long before we even knew she was going to be part of K/DA. We were originally going to release her like halfway through 2020, but when we decided we were going to do K/DA again we thought she would thematically be a very strong match for K/DA, so we held back her release so she could be a part of K/DA. This is why we were able to start her publishing campaign so early in the year, because we had locked her art/kit already which we don't ...

hijacking for this:
This is something that we will not allow and people using this product or type of product will likely get banned as it will be considered a cheating tool.
While we want to allow experimentation and have folks surprise us, this is simply too dangerous for changing player behavior and providing a large advantage.
also if you have questions about apps and tools like this in the future feel free to tag me. I am bad at reddit but I try and get responses out.
Did Becca come up with your nickname? ;-)
This is one of the problems of being a few years older than most, when I made the nickname and was playing a lot of FPS games it made TOTAL sense, but I was 13 with good reaction times... a few years later this word has a whole new connotation lol.
