Yea, but unless you are Radiant, that was probably the smurf case.

But all good man, I don’t dislike the skinline, just 25 kills is s bit too much for me when I play comp only in imm+. Topfrag in my games is usually on 30 kills at the end of the game. So I respect that the effect is special but rn it is a bit too special. I think for the gems it should be 20 kills max and 25 kills + topfrag could be the trophy. Just my 2cents

Same problem for me, also in NZ and getting 180 ping to Sydney while only having 119 ping to Singapore. ISP is Spark NZ. Used to be around 35 ping to Sydney.

Look bruddah, if someone on my team is dropping 25+ I want them to feel f**king invincible. So much of this game is about mentality and yes, team play is important, but the guy dropping 30+ is definitely doing his job

The problem is, in many games, even when you do achieve it, you may see it in its full beauty for like 2-3 rounds before the game ends most of time, which is kinda weird.

Unless you are smurfing with 40 frags per game.

Why is the knife's animation not a loop like the 2021 one ? D:

Same, I live in New Zealand and I usually connect to sydney servers with around 35 ping but now it ranges from 190-119 ping. This may be just a problem with my internet and nothing to do with the game but It's really annoying.

Love the crystal effect, it's a great middle-ground to see effects while getting kills vs the original champions vandal where you had to top frag to see the effect.

The additional shooting sound is the biggest reason I'm buying this one though, as that was definitely missing from the 2021 champs vandal.

This finisher isn't as cool as the brimstone secret one though but you set the bar too high with that one haha

Truthfully I wish the progression was a bit exaggerated, most matches won't see the effect past 15kills on avg so I wish it was either flashier every 5 kills, or at least flashier on the last 10. You are sort of making a plain skin at 0 kills, so the high end kill count visuals should feel a little more stunning to compensate.

I get that from an artists standpoint, you are actually putting more effort into it than an average skin, having to make a final skin and also make the stages leading up to it, but from a consumer's perspective it feels the opposite where we're getting less of a skin and then working up to an average one. It actually feels less visually appealing as a result. Transformative animations at the start of every round you pass a benchmark might compensate, but these would obviously be expensive from Riot's perspective.

If I were to recreate the skin from the ground up (not an artist, so take my input with a grain of salt), I would keep it the same i...

I like it! I would love to see more skins have the kill effect. I've thought a lot about the champion's glow effect since the release of the first one, and I think the biggest improvement that could be made is, instead of glowing when you are top fragging, the glow displays when you get a kill in the round. And if you get multiple kills, the glow is brighter. The crystal effect that fills in every 5 kills is also really cool, but I think most people in the community have stated that 20 kills should be the max effect to fill it in instead of 25. Great work though, yall always convince me to spend more money :)
