League of Legends: Are Legendary Skins Losing Their Shine?

by

A common criticism within the community revolves around the increasing use of repeated animations in the legendary skin series. As pointed out by user Kinatta in an initial post, these once impressive legendary skins are starting to lose their artistic integrity. For example, they argue that the animations for new skins are so similar to the original character’s movements that it raises doubts about what defines a “legendary” skin today. The Dark Star Sylas skin was mentioned as an illustration of this pattern, causing players to ponder if the title is now more about advertising than artistry. User MazrimReddit expressed their disappointment, saying, “Wow, that Xayah skin is so uninspired, it’s rehashed from base Xayah.” It seems that many believe they are not getting enough value for their money, and when the novelty of a flashy new skin wears off due to familiarity, enthusiasm decreases.

As CanJammer puts it, it feels like being trapped in your own game, where your individual efforts seem pointless. This situation often brings a mix of amusement and intense frustration to players, as they commiserate about their shared predicament.

Another user, sirmantex, echoed phantomriya’s woes, mentioning that every 4 or 5 matches, at least one player couldn’t connect.
