Summary

Riot Games continues to face backlash over the declining quality of skins.
The upcoming Spirit Blossom skins have been criticised for a lack of unique visual effects.
Spirit Blossom Ivern, in particular, is a massive disappointment to mains of that champion who have waited years for a new skin.

There was a time when 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Riot Games could do no wrong in the eyes of the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:League of Legends community. However, after successive controversies, including ♐a sexual misconduct class-action, a round🍷 of layoffs and the addition of a $430 skin to League of Legends, players now have far less patience with Riot.

Although Riot's art and music teams have been praised for the quality of recent cinematics, that quality, according to players, has not carried over to the associated skins. This happened recently with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Grand Reckoning Alistar, which𝕴 Riot removed after admitting the skin had quality issues.

League of Legends is entering the second part𒊎 of its ongoing season, shifting the theme from the 🏅region of Noxus to the region of Ionia.

Declining Quality

The upcoming Spirit Blossom releases are Ivern, Bard, Varus, Zyra, Lux, 🅠Ashe and Irelia. Ivern, in particular, is attracting a lot of criticism from players for both its splash art and in-game model.

There are several threads on Reddit lamen🌞ting the loss of opportunity with the Spirit Blossom Ivern skin, which is in a skin-line that he should be perfectly suited for: "This might be the worst splash art since 2010," writes .

In a thread dedicated specifically to Spirit Blossom Ivern, w⛎rites "I've waited for a new Ivern skin for so long, then I heard he'd be getting a skin within the perfect skin line for his character and we get given, this? This is a glorified chroma, his basic design lacks anything that makes him stand out, the splash art is not the quality of which we are used to it at all, and other than the colour palette, what about this is Spirit Blossom exactly?"

The ability visual effects have also been getting flack for changing very li🌠ttle or in some cases, as with Daisy, removing some of the defa﷽ult detail from the model.

Spirit Blossom Irelia League Of Legends-1

Ivern isn't the only target of player's ire; the line's legendary skin, Spirit Blossom Irelia, has also for its lack of unique visual effects. In a thread by hytrhtry, playe🐬rs discuss how four consecutive legendary skins have been of a poorer quality than they've come to expect from Riot. The prevailing theory is that Riot considers the price point for legendary skins to be too low to justify the work it used to take to create them, and so higher-quality skins have now been bumped to "gacha" prices.

League of Legends has several skin tiers: Standard ($7), Epic ($10), Legendary 🉐($13), Ultimate ($23), Exalted and Transcendent. The latter two have variable prices as obtaining them tends to require buying expensive passes.

Although there are plenty of additions to League that Riot has been praised f🐟or this season, the declining q꧑uality of skins continues to be a bugbear of the community.
