Hey all, I wanted to say that we really appreciate the discussion around Firelight Ekko's lack of SFX. We completely agree that SFX are a standard and expected part of an Epic (1350) skin, and leaving them out was an unfortunate mistake on our part due to a miscommunication internally. While we do everything we can to avoid delaying content, we're going to hold off from shipping this skin for a few patches to work on adding new SFX. This also means the skin will come off of PBE for now.

We are also going to take advantage of the extra time to address some of the other feedback we’ve seen on PBE including a unique homeguard. Homeguard animations are a feature that we have included on a very limited set of Epic skins when we feel it meaningfully helps sell the fantasy in a way that we couldn't otherwise. I want to reinforce that this level of scope is not something we can add during a regular PBE cycle or to every Epic skin due to time constraints, but we're also in an unusua...

Hoping that more folks have gotten to see her features now that she's on PBE but since we've seen a lot of comparisons to bundles and variants I wanted to jump in and confirm some features. These are comparisons between forms and not base champion vs. skin for reference: Each form will have some overlapping VO and some unique, matching up with where Seraphine is at in her journey. They each have different VFX, dances, and other animations. They each have a separate animated splash (these are more different than a variant or prestige splash typically is). They each have new SFX, as well as a dynamic music system that reacts to how many allies you're nearby (each form uses a different track).

I really appreciate how thoughtful this comment is, I'm definitely seeing some recurring themes you've captured really well here that we're thinking a lot about. The biggest thing that stands out to me in this list (and most of these threads) is the comparison to a bundle. Internally through development, it has felt like a lot more than a bundle to us but of course that doesn't matter nearly as much as how players actually feel about it.

We'll keep watching through PBE and see how everyone is feeling as more folks get to see and play as the champion and with the skin.

These are great notes, especially the expectations on Ultimates - I totally get that this doesn't deliver the same fantasy as in game swaps. I am hoping that once seen and played on PBE players will feel like we've packed in a lot of value by keeping the swap out of game but it's super valid and we're definitely keeping an eye on this feeling.

We're excited about the stories we can tell using quest skins and will learn a lot from the first release and from feedback like this.

This thread has a lot of good thoughts, and wanted to chime in on this line of thinking a little bit. Since Elementalist Lux I agree that expectations around Ultimates understandably ballooned and we've been trying to find more sustainable ways (see the original posting for more context on that) to deliver the best possible fantasies on a champion. While not for everyone, we know Ultimates are really special and important to many players. I agree the initial reception to GGMF was rocky, because of those expectations and for a lot of the reasons you mentioned.

With Seraphine, we really wanted to deliver more features than MF could by separating her forms out and giving the team a lot more space to work in for each of them. This also felt like it could be a strong direction because we typically see players gravitate toward one form and not actually swap very much (of course that's not everyone and I totally get that swapping in game is a big value add too). As a result, Sera...

Since this thread isn't super new, jumping onto your comment for better visibility ('scuse me, not cutting the line just trying to find my friends)

Thanks for raising this idea OP and u/boydlr! The team working on True Damage took a look and we agree that customizing the border color per champion is a real improvement. When working on a line of skins like this, we often use the same border for thematic matching, but with the color variation here it doesn't coordinate particularly for Akali and Qiyana.

Since we're later in the patch cycle than usual, we'll be making some border changes that will go live after they launch. Thanks for the feedback!

You don't have to watch OPL specifically - as Klause mentioned above, we have been experiencing some issues but they should all be resolved now. Watching any summer split VODs or live games should count toward your missions. If you're still experiencing problems, please submit a support ticket so that we can be sure to dig into it more and get you your rewards. Sorry for the inconvenience!

So glad to hear! Hope you enjoy the pass and games :)

Awesome, glad to hear it!

First off, nice games watched total! Secondly - did you get a prompt to select a team? For folks who bought right at launch we're currently looking into fixing some issues that we've since solved but still persist for early adopters. We're super close and will have this for you before games start tomorrow!

This article is now updated with more mission + rewards specifics!

No prestige points for this pass - we're focused on esports specific content this time around.

What pass / team did you get in which region? Did you buy it right when it went live (11 AM PT today)?

Hey friend - what pass / team did you get in which region? Did you buy it right when it went live (11 AM PT today)?

Team select should be functioning now - still fixing a few small errors but functionality restored.

Alright, this should be good to go now! We're still fixing a few small issues but team select should be functioning now.

Sorry everyone, we're aware of this issue - working on a fix now! I'll update here when we have it working and you'll be able to select your team and get missions.

Luckily games don't start until tomorrow (part of the reason we're going live a day early) - so you won't miss out on any of the experience. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Thanks for the report, friend - we're working on this and should have a fix shortly. Sorry for the inconvenience, I'll update here when it's up and working.

As of a few events ago, team emotes are permanent! The only thing temporary in this pass are the team tags and chat cheers (like we've done for events in the past where it calls out your fandom in start of game chat) - which have 2 levels and last through the end of Summer Split once unlocked.

Yup! Players in NA and EU can select one team from LCS and one team from LEC. We hope to expand outside NA and EU moving forward.
