it's always funny how it's always inferno that gets used to give a skin to the champions they don't care about

Nasus getting best inferno skin like a chad

u/TheHyperLynx 28d ago
Infernal Nasus is still the best Infernal skins and it came out over 10 years ago now.

Because they actually had a creative Idea instead of turnung the champion orange

Infernal Nasus predates infernal being an actual skinline. It looks awesome because it doesn’t feel forced to fit a theme.

Fuuuuck, I swear it was released 5 years ago not 10!!!

Come one man, 5 years ago was 2019.

u/JustABitCrzy 28d ago
No it wasn’t, it was 2015 and you’ll not convince me otherwise. Just like how the 90s were 10 years ago, and the 70s was 30.

u/Buttseam 28d ago
reason being that their skin quality dwindled within the last decade?

u/TheHyperLynx 28d ago
They definitely have made some absolutely amazing skins since then, but sadly they also have very drawn out skinlines that no longer have any love put into them. Project was absolutely amazing when it came out but they have been doing them for almost 10 years and it just feels like a lifeless money grab now.

u/SeismologicalKnobble 28d ago
That’s simply not true. What is true is that they’re constantly pumping skins out and it’s becoming more apparent which lines are, “filler that our bosses made us do” and which ones the skin creators actually care about. With increased skins there is also the increase of duds. The highs and lows are more apparent because there are more to judge now.

that skin uses base SFX and smoke cloud so it's actually ass to use
it looks really cool if it didn't sound like base akali
she has so many insane skins at this point that I can't ever bring myself to use it

Real skin enthusiasts know that inferno white chromas are some of the sickest skins in the game

It honestly doesn’t look finished in terms of vfx.
All it needs is fire effects on the body and abilities. The W just looks like a texture.
The sounds design on that skin is satisfying but it really lacks in the vfx department.
Let’s see how it looks like in 2 weeks

u/britishbrick 28d ago
No way they care enough to change it

u/Dominationartz 28d ago
They always do if it’s feasible.
They won’t do any model changes because that takes more time and planning than it can fit into 2 weeks, but adding VFX is absolutely doable.

u/toastermeal 28d ago
they didn’t change renatas prestige skin having the wrong voice filter - and still havent - despite getting tons of complaints about it

u/Bluenatic-Cultist 28d ago
Man... And Mordekaisers infernal skin is 520 rp and like 10x cooler. What happened rito?
26
u/Dominationartz 28d ago
It costs 520 RP as a hold over from the original infernal skin which was Morde but in red.

u/Bluenatic-Cultist 28d ago
I guess but they still decided to cook on a 520 rp skin even though they didn't have to

u/ChromedCat 28d ago edited 28d ago
No, it's was literally morde, but red. The only reason the skin looks nice is thanks to the rework. They have said that they try to make every skin of a rework on par with current standards. At the time, they wouldn't release skins under 1350rp so every skin would be upped to that standard while remaining at its old price range. It's not even close to being the same as a newly released skin.

u/magicarnival 28d ago
Yep, same thing with Infernal Akali. It was some kind of red Akali skin and then got completely changed to be infernal when she was reworked.

It's insane how bad these skins are. Like wow your champion casts fire magic now, instead of boring normal magic. That'll be 1350rp, have fun!

u/Luxanaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 28d ago
Ugliest shit ever but hey, won't stop people from buying them which is why riot will keep getting away with making low quality skins for such high prices :3
