How about we just do the Wild Rift thing and let Lux ult go to the end of the map? :D
pls no

SO THATS WHY THERE IS A LINE AT THE END OF THE ULT! I’m new to league but I noticed pretty early that line on lux’s ult where it cuts off and I’ve always thought it was oddly helpful. That line has gotten me out of many near deaths.
I'm glad that line's helpful!
Wow, riot is surely quick when it comes to lux skins. Thought that was a meme
I just happened to have some time to fix it. :d
That's nice but why add a line one the ground that's further out that the visual of the beam? Malphite was clearly not touching the beam just make it visually line up.
The ground line is the accurate end of the hitbox. Since the beam is raised high up in the air, having a ground indicator made sense.
Yep, the replies under you got what I mean, I was referring to the fact the beam doesn't seem to reach the line. I realize elevation etc. is a part of League, but if the line is a part of the beam, why not just extend the beam to meet the line?
Currently working on extending the beam to match her other skins. :)
Wait something is weird in that clip. While the ground indicator is the same as classic Lux and checks out alright (the spell is also modern rectangle with edge range so this Malphite was still well inside the hitbox), the laser (the part that doesn't render at Lux' ground height) is missing a little bit of length?
Classic Lux' laser particle doesn't have this issue, it even has a bright spot at the end to emphasize the total length.
This bright spot appears to be missing here?
Edit: Seems to be that the laser particle from Elementalist Lux's forms is this slight bit too short. Not a terrible discrepancy but I hope you could make it stretch the final 50 units aswell, like the others do!
Ty Caenen for the context! I'll see if I can get it to match the other skins, and I'll add the light at the end of the beam as well.
That’s actually very nice, thanks Sirhaian. But wait, wouldn’t it be better to extend the Lux Ult then? Or does that cause more issues with like the lollipop of the hit box?
Not sure I understand what you mean. :o
The ground hitbox visuals should be accurate.
The ult isn't stupid but that hitbox has always been horrible.
10 years of horrible Lux ult hitbox yay
I specifically added a line at the end of Lux's ult to mark its end, and Malphite here was clearly on that line still when it hit. :c
EDIT: After looking closer at the issue, it looks like Elementalist Lux's R beam was indeed shorter than the other skins. I've corrected that and it should be fixed on PBE tomorrow.
Here's a before/after of the change: https://imgur.com/dxfnl3X
Is Sweeper Rammus holding a red card during his taunt or were my eyes fooling me? If so, that's hilarious and I love it.
He is (:
Sure, but bring back twisted treeline
i just want dominion back :(
But. But. You’re a VFX artist wdym you don’t control balance changes, champion design, matchmaking, and the client????
ikr :(

👄 Then fix it plzibegyou
if it was in my power, akali would have been deleted from the entire game a long time ago <3 <3 <3
TY for the ARAM love - any amount is appreciated.
ARAM is the best mode. <3
What, give akali +20/-20 damage dealt/taken buff?
pls don't remind me that's a thing, it's giving me nightmares
Nice to see you here sirhaian. Been a big fan since you were just a small youtuber showing off his custom skins. Cool to see you updating every outdated looking VFX in the game on your own free time!
I actually made my own list of champions whose VFX need to be updated and that list has been knocked down from over 30 champions just 3 years ago to now just (Draven, Elise, Orianna, Vayne, Vi). It’s fantastic to see the visible progress you have brought to the VFX team over at riot
We also have a list of champs we'd like to update. There are still many! :D
That honestly might be the actual hitbox, they just made it bigger to match.
The hitbox is still slightly bigger than the snowball itself. The little windy particle around it is closer to the actual hitbox.
Finally no need to get up from bed anymore. \o/
Did you work on any of these skins? Because as always, it'll be a bit better than the rest even in same tier.
Nope!
Absolutely. My friends all tease me because of how much I gush over Aphelios; he's the first champ that's really resonated with me like that since maybe Jhin, if not even since I started playing in 2013 (maining Jinx). Love his thematic and story and it translates super well in-game.
Did you work on any of these skins btw? I also play Swain and that skin looks so amazing.
Nope, haven't worked on anything this patch!
That makes sense. I guess I was mentally oversimplifying it as if e.g. Calibrum + Gravitum was just those two VFX triggered together rather than something custom, but as an Aphelios player it now feels obvious looking back that each of those VFX is unique. Five guns each that can be paired with the four others, + the five autos and the crit version of each, + the five ults... basically 6-8x as many ability VFX as normal. Pretty wild.
Appreciate the explanation and all the work you guys do, those VFX are so transient in-game but they're so important to making the champs feel good, especially auto-based projectiles on marksmen like Aphelios. He's so smooth and satisfying to play largely due to that work.
Give my love to StarWeaver cause this is the first skin in a while I'm expecting to buy the full skin + chroma pack for. Looking really great and can't wait to try it out in-game!!
He's reading the thread, he just doesn't have an reddit account. :)
Always appreciate shedding light on some more obscure VFX stuff in League! VFX is one of those disciplines that, if done right, nobody really should notice the work that goes into it. So I figure everyone who worked on Aphelios did a great job! :D
