Administrators Amethyst Posted August 8, 2014 Administrators Share Posted August 8, 2014 It just might. 1- I get the feeling Riot generally tries to not be too gender imbalanced, and both previous ultimate skins have gone to male champions 2- I believe Riot has said a number of times that Evelynn needs a VU and as such she isn't likely to get a new skin until then. (Meaning the only other likely female by this thread's logic is Lux) 3- After Steel Legion was released everyone was like rito pls stop with military lux skins they do not suit her personality and rito was like o yea, ok, we start making new skin for her immediately. We haven't heard anything about that skin since then. I was thinking the Victorious skin might go to Lux, but this would be wayyy better. On a semi-unrelated note, I still want Blacklight Lux to be a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanco Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I doubt Lux is getting the Victorious skin. That should be for Lucian if anyone. Maybe Lulu.There has, however, been an Avatar/Ascended/Insert-Divine-Word-Here Lux fan concept floating around which depicts her as some funky neon hextech-enhanced angel thing. It looks wicked and Riot would have all my money if it were to be made. This was similar to the initial idea, which now seems lost deep in the interwebs...

Developers Voctrode Posted August 8, 2014 Developers Share Posted August 8, 2014 i remember that skin if its that skin then my life will be complete and I can pass on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anethia Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) Eve isn't getting any skins until her VU - my money's on Xerath and Lux. There were new game mode files closely tied to ascension - Xerath is the Magus Ascendant, and one even states xerath-something or other (not really, but it does say Xerath) Lux also needs a more 'fitting' skin for her so that's where my money's at! Riot also likes to hint stuff in their cinematics - Baron VU for one. Well, check this out. Edited August 8, 2014 by Annie Leonhardt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fush Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'd be inclined to say it wasn't Xerath; he has a fair selection of varied skins already, and there would probably be a lack of inventive ideas for a Xerath ultimate skin as a result.

WanderoftheColossus Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 urge to tell you intensifies but i'm under contract not to. Went to hackathon at riot hq and watch them demo concept for it. too bad they make you sign a release form stating that you won't disclose ANYTHING you see there or face prosecution. quite frankly i already give them enough money, i'm not trying to give them more.

anethia Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'd be inclined to say it wasn't Xerath; he has a fair selection of varied skins already, and there would probably be a lack of inventive ideas for a Xerath ultimate skin as a result. 3 skins, all complete with shiny new recolours and slightly different particles? And his ultimate skin could easily be something like his particles being weaker and him being just a human, progressing at certain levels and his spells looking more powerful until at the end it's him, ascended into an ultimate form after absorbing all magic. it could just be battlecast skarner tho lel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanco Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Battlecast Skarner will likely be released in a bundle with Battlecast Kog'Maw maybe next year or during preseason. Those should be 1350 skins. Eve isn't getting any skins until her VU - my money's on Xerath and Lux. There were new game mode files closely tied to ascension - Xerath is the Magus Ascendant, and one even states xerath-something or other (not really, but it does say Xerath) !!!!! Also: There you go.

Shanco Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Well, he didn't say "and/or" so that hints that only one of those vowels is in the champion's name. If that were the case, that would narrow the list to two, Evelynn and Lux. Evelynn's on the list for a Visual Upgrade next year. I'm convinced it's Lux.

DJ Mewdeon ft Dan Punk Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Also: There you go. Dropping by to note that with this context of "hint" or "leak", you may want to reevaluate the previous one. Q: "What's the fourth letter of the champion's spells that is receiving an ultimate skin?" A: "A" The wording is important here - instead of "ability" or "skill" the question uses the word "spell." As someone pointed out on reddit, every champion has access to the Recall spell, the fourth letter of which is A. I'm not sure that Morello has given out any sort of hint and is mostly just being the huge tease that he always is with this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Ikaru Posted August 8, 2014 Administrators Share Posted August 8, 2014 in this week's edition of "putting too much value into everything" we take a joke referencing the fact that every word in the english language has at least one of those letters in it (and as such is not remotely a hint) and put too much value into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelly Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) Kassadin's force pulse passive states the following: Kassadin draws energy from spells cast in his vicinity, gaining a charge whenever a spell is cast near him (including his own spells). Recall is NOT a spell since Kassadin doesn't gain a force pulse charge when someone or himself recalls.

Recall is NOT a spell since Kassadin doesn't gain a force pulse charge when someone or himself recalls. If we want to get technical here, Kassadin's Force Pulse not having an interaction doesn't prove that Recall isn't a spell. A looong time ago when Ryze was first reworked so that his passive decreased the cooldowns of all his spells by 1s per cast, he was able to trigger it a ton of times quickly by tapping Recall and moving, which is obviously unintended and was fixed. Similarly, I think this exception is intended as it'd be a pretty broken interaction otherwise, no? These leaks are more or less all jokes to create hype/interest over the new ultimate skin imho.. not that we'd need that to theorize and get hyped anyway.

anethia Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Not everything Riot says or does needs to be some mystical prophecy tangled up in a web of lies meant to be deep, dark and mysterious. It could be jokes but It's probably just some legit leaks. great life advice imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewer Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I'm honestly much more hyped for the rift VU than the ultimate skin, probably not buying it anyways :x And I saw some rift VU videos and it looks super pretty. The faker zilean game vs samsung white was pretty amazing to watch so it might be his fault And rofl at maokai destroying the lcs eu playoffs. Dat tree coming thru.
