Ay thanks for the work dude. I think this was just a side project you did and not something asked?
Either way good work man.
Yup, it was! Like most of the VFX updates. I just do them cause I want to. :)

What I love about you isn't that you do good particle updates. It is that you listen to feedback and have an insanely quick turn around. The Udyr and Ahri changes this week alone show how awesome you are. You Gave Turtle shield its' hexagons back, you made the phoenix cone have better flames, and you fixed Ahri's charm within a day of those posts. You are awesome and if I could buy you a beer or other beverage of your choice, I would do it in an instant.
So keep being awesome!
Awww thank you!! Really glad the small changes helped alleviate some of the concerns while giving a bit more life to the skins. It's all thanks to your feedbacks, couldn't do it without that!
If I had your abilities I would never get work done. I would just be f**king around 24/7. Some people are not meant for greatness.
I appreciate your passion.
It's sometimes a challenge to focus on work instead of playing around hahaha.
Awww you're welcome!
I did a 28/5 KD game with your Xayah skin today, and I got to 300k mastery with it :D
Congrats! :D
Please god tell me you edited Annie's files to make that legitimately in game instead of just an effect added to the footage. It would be incredible.
Yup I did, was faster than try to edit it in post haha
Hey OP i think you tagged the inactive acc, it’s /u/RiotSirHaian
/u/Sirhaian is my personal Reddit account. :)
People keep sending me the link to this thread, don't worry! <3
I'm not too good with words, so I quickly made this tiny thing to thank you all. <3
Thanks for the support, it really means a lot, you've no idea.

Also just want to clarify that the hate was mostly just misunderstanding/miscommunication, and I didn't notice much from Ahri mains side. :)
EDIT: oh god thanks for the gold!!
Is that the same reason the ball size was reduced? In the beginning of the video with the old vs new, the new Ahri ball seems a lot smaller, but it increases in size when she throws out her Q.
Yup!
In case that Sirhaian came by, is there a reason to reduce the bright of the orb?
Btw the whole update is pretty nuts, especially the E change, that some quality of life update that also looks f**king amazing. And the dances man, Thank You!
Yup! It just attracted too much attention for an idle effect.
I like the change! Nailed it!
Really glad you do!
Well thanks for letting me know that it is also for clarity purposes. That makes my opinion on the work drastically shift. I am sorry I jumped to conclusions. You probably already said it in a post and I skimmed over it. Sorry again if I misrepresented the situation. Going to edit the original comment to make sure people that may not read yours see that the VFX do have a purpose. I'm glad you are active enough to let me know my comment was misguided by frustration.
No problem at all. :)
I know its been a real struggle dealing with these kinds of comments I wanted to say thanks I really have enjoyed these vfx updates the clarity improvements are awesome and its made me go back to many champs I haven't played in a long time. Thank you for that in case you don't hear it enough. A small note it might be worth seeing if you can get this clarification about VGU priorities put in an "Ask Riot" article I know not everyone will see that but it helps cut down on misinfo a bit and other redditors will end up linking it to help as well in the future. I really hope some of us can convince you to keep making these updates the negativity is from people who don't take the time to read how candid Riot is about a lot of the development of the game compared to most companies. Thanks again for these!
Thank you. :)
That's a great idea! I'll ask around if that's something that can be done.
That's a 10/10 improvement
That makes me very happy! Thanks!
Read moreI'm so sorry /u/RiotSirhaian for the treatment you received by the players as you try to deliver new things on your own time out of your own passion for the game. Even while I do not play Udyr personally, seeing your work on both his- and Ahri's effects I felt breathed new life into the character outside of skin(s). While also being far easier to read than before for newer players (playing with, or against these champions respectively.)
The fact you even take time to contact the concept artists to make sure the effects for each spell work for that character in appearance speaks volumes of your care and I don't want that to ever be lost!
I don't know what the voice of one will do, but there are those that appreciate your work! Though are perhaps more silent, like I am, or we get drowned out by those loudly protesting over their precious. Though never forget your work /is/ very much appreciated, even if it's hard to find support in the m...
I don't have much to say, but thank you. This means a lot to me. I know a lot of you care about these updates, at least as much as I do. It's hard to confront negative feedback, but it's also super valuable. I don't think I'll stop, but this definitely made me aware of the passion players can have for their favorite champs. :)
Read moreI’m gonna reply to you again in the same thread. I truly appreciate everything the teams at Riot do. The game has evolved over the course of 10+(?) years and has gotten better in almost every way.
I understand that some changes rub some the wrong way, or that some patches/game-states mean more to certain people over others, but damn.. League has remained as popular as ever and still brings me and countless others joy every time we boot it up no matter how often we may “complain” about it.
The art design team or VGU team or however it’s divided up at a Riot has consistently improved over the years. You guys really make the universe more immersive and the gameplay more fluid/addicting/precise/clear all the time.
I don’t regular the forums and only visit this subreddit in bursts so this is the first time I had heard that some of these VGUs are literal passion projects from the individuals at a Riot. That just reaffirms my positive regard for the people that m...
This means a lot, thank you so much for taking the time to write this.
Hey there. I know I'm some random dude on the internet but I really like the VFX update and thanks for doing this for all of us. I really like the new turtle and phoenix forms in the default skin!
Thanks, really glad you like them!
Just want to say i miss the old Zyra passive.
I don’t think a champion with a passive that is only on death is good, because it almost encourages death or is useless otherwise, but having a two part passive would be great.
I remember Riot looking into zyra reviving if she kills someone with her passive. That would have been amazing. As it stands, her rng seeds are pretty terrible and rng is never a fun game mechanic
Oh I forgot about that, I kinda miss it too.

99% sure it is
oh god yes, seeing them side by side is a big giveaway.
Man, thank you for this and being active in response. I can’t wait to test this out on the rift myself. Knowing you do this in your spare time for the love of it always make me happy, and I appreciate all the hard work.
In thanks, I present to you the jingle my friends and I made for ARAM Udyr:
“Come on Udyr, SHOW-ME-WHAT-YOU-GOT, Aaa-rawrrr~ Aaa-rawrrrrr~”
Now he’ll look even prettier showing us what he’s got!
Haha as an avid ARAM fan, I love this! I'll remember it the next time I play with or against an Udyr. :)
I sincerely hope you don't take any of these stupid complaints to heart. Every VFX update has helped bring old champions into a new modern light and they are very much appreciated by the silent majority. Tryndamere, Thresh, Annie (i mean idk if you worked on those specifically but), like, the effects all look like if the champions were made today.
Your work is super appreciated and I hope you aren't discouraged. Keep up the good work!
I did work on these specifically yes! Really appreciate the kind words. It can be tough to dissociate work from self-worth, but trying my best not to take these too close to heart. <3
