![]() ![]() "When we first heard that Seraphine was a music-themed champion set to launch within relative proximity of the return of K/DA, we explored the ways in which those threads could potentially merge in a unique and unprecedented way," Morales said. Riot Games didn't know how successful the group would be, but after the overwhelmingly positive reaction to Pop/Stars, the company wanted to do something big for its return this year. First revealed at the 2018 League of Legends World Championship in Seoul in 2018, their single Pop/Stars has amassed over 380 million views since it premiered. The "All Out" skin is tied to the revival of Riot Games' virtual band K/DA, consisting of League Champions Ahri, Evelynn, Akali and Kai'Sa. Other Ultimate skins, like DJ Sona, Elementalist Lux, and Gun Goddess Miss Fortune, do come with multiple forms but they can all be augmented in-game through menus or progress in a match. Chromas, or alternative colors, have required missions or event currency to be unlocked but these didn’t affect the model of the champion. No skin in the history of League of Legends has had multiple forms locked behind a series of missions. Riot Games had to release an explainer so fans could understand what exactly they were buying. ![]() The skin costs 3,250 RP, which is over $20, and the forms can only be switched out before the start of the game. ![]() Seraphine is receiving an "All Out" Ultimate tier skin that comes with three different forms that first have to be unlocked by completing missions. "One of the primary elements of a support is that they usually have less-than-ideal waveclear of minions, but Seraphine is able to clear through them as a traditional mid-lane mage would," Sidhu said.īut Seraphine's similarity to Sona isn't the only problem players have with the champion. Criticism is also being levied at the expensive skin she's releasing with. Surround Sound, her shield and heal ability, helps with utility without completely crippling her damage output. Most of Seraphine's damage and crowd control ability is tied to her skillshots High Note and Beat Drop. She has only one ability that buffs her allies compared to the three that Sona has and it’s cast more infrequently compared to other ally-buffing abilities like Karma's." According to technical game designer Jeevun Sidhu, " supportive aspects are powerful but very infrequent. Seraphine's designers say she serves an entirely different purpose to Sona. Even her lore came into question, with some players finding it odd that she uses the soul of one of Skarner's brethren in a brackern crystal to amplify her power and captivate the people of Piltover with her performances. Her hoverboard, animations, and design were ripped apart by fervent redditors who just didn’t relate with the champion's Piltover identity. Memes mocking the connection quickly spread on Twitter and Reddit, with fans unamused by what they saw as a rework to a classic, yet outdated, champion. For Sera we went with a more rhythmic music theme, where you are casting spells and every 4th spell echos, kind of like how music is made on 4s."ĭespite that, some players continue to believe that Seraphine comes off as more of a visually upgraded version of Sona than an entirely new champion. She is playing music and its effecting the allies around her. ![]() "For Sona she is hitting the music aura theme. Yuumi will be available April 30 on the beta servers and May 14 in the full game."Music is a huge theme, and we could probably make another champ with a music theme and it could still feel different from both Sona and Sera," Mireles wrote. Yuumi can move and cast Change of Plans and Zoomies while channeling.Ĭan deal a maximum of X magic damage to any single enemy. Champions hit by three or more waves are rooted for X seconds. Yuumi channels for X seconds, launching seven waves dealing X magic damage (extra missiles deal X% damage). If Yuumi is attached, this spell affects that ally instead. Yuumi heals herself for X to X, increasing based on missing health, and gains X% movement speed decaying over X seconds. While Yuumi is attached, she follows her partner’s movement and is untargetable except from towers.Ĭhange of Plans has a X second cooldown, but Yuumi can cast it anytime she is already attached to switch between partners or unattach. Passive: Yuumi and the ally she’s attached to gain X% of each other’s AD or AP, converted to Adaptive Force.Ĭhange of Plans: Yuumi dashes to an ally champion and attaches to them. If cast while attached, Yuumi can control the missile using her mouse cursor. If the missile exists for X seconds before impacting, it deals X magic damage instead and slows champions for X% decaying over x seconds. Yuumi summons a missile that deals X magic damage to the first enemy hit. ![]()
