League of Legends may soon get new skins in connection with the upcoming Netflix series. Are you excited yet?
Thanks to the new TFT set Gizmos and Gadgets, we may have gotten the first preview of new LoL skins. Will there be Arcane skins soon thanks to the Netflix series Arcane?
With the reveal of the latest TFT set that will go live with LoL Patch 11.22, fans have gotten their first taste of possible new LoL skins.
Which champions will get an Arcane skin?
Caitlyn, Jinx, Vi, and Jayce will be getting an Arcane Skin. Through the TFT Reveal, we could already see how the skins might look in-game, but Splash Arts were also leaked.
Caitlyn’s model is also getting a visual overhaul, by the way. It’s been teased in TFT before, and Riot themselves have confirmed that they’re working on visual updates that aren’t as expensive as VFX updates.
How much will the arcade skins cost?
Currently, it is not known how much the arcade skins will cost. Maybe they will cost nothing at all? Maybe there will be another event in the client for the release of Arcane?
The Splash Arts tweet says that fans should stay tuned to find out how they can get the skins. So could mean that you can get the skins in other ways…? like Unbound Thresh did back in the day!
When are the Arcane skins coming out?
TFT Patch 11.22 will go live on November 3, three days before Arcane comes out on Netflix. If these skins are also coming to the Summoner’s Rift, then we would certainly see them with LoL Patch 11.22. So if Vi, Jayce, Jinx, and Caitlyn really do get Arcane skins, it will be in LoL Patch 11.22. By the way, LoL Patch 11.22 goes live at the same time as the TFT patch, which is November 3.
- Here’s the LoL patch schedule in case you don’t know when which patch goes live.
Whether Caitlyn’s Visual Update will go live at the same time is not yet known.
When Arcane goes live, we’ll definitely have a lot to say about it. So be sure to check back often in November to make sure you don’t miss any news about Arcane. But that doesn’t mean we won’t be covering the Worlds or Patch Notes at the same time. Of course we won’t neglect them.
Champion skin
Champion skin (or skin for short) refers to the color scheme or appearance of a champion. Most champion skins can be purchased in the Riot Shop with Riot Points, while others are/were only available for special events/promotions. However, some selected chroma skins (color-changed skins)can be purchased at special events for Blue Essence. Some champion skins bring new particles for visual effects, quotes and sound effects. Each skin has its own splashart, which is displayed in the champion selection and loading screen. Since patch 7.16, the custom champion image is also matched to the skin in the game itself.
What is actually… “League of Legends”?
“League of Legends is one of the most successful e-sports titles in the world. But what is it actually about? And what makes the game so popular? An explanation for beginners.
What is League of Legends (“LoL”) about?
In a classic game of “League of Legends,” two teams each have five characters called champions, each with individual characteristics. The main goal of each team is to destroy the opponent’s Nexus (a main building). Before this can be attacked, however, several defenses must be torn down on at least one of the three central level routes (lanes). Similar to “Dota 2”, the heroes receive continuous support on their campaign from AI-controlled units called minions. They storm the battlefield at regular intervals and independently attack enemies or enemy buildings – but only on the three main paths of the map. Those who roam around in the surrounding jungle will have to do without minion help. As usual in the MOBA genre, the champions reach higher levels by collecting experience points. In the course of the match, they learn numerous new abilities. Provided they have enough gold, the player can also strengthen himself with new equipment. Each of the 141 hero characters that the player can currently choose from is assigned to one of six classes. Warriors can deal out a lot of damage, tanks take a lot of punishment, mages have powerful special abilities, and supporters can, among other things, replenish the mana energy of allies or heal their comrades-in-arms.
