The voting results are out: Skaner and the Gothic theme have won the 2022 season vote!
● Crystal Pioneer Sana
Skaner won the decisive victory in this vote and became the next hero to get a visual and gameplay update!
This time, everyone gave a lot of love to the only scorpion in the canyon. Skanauer took the lead (wait, will scorpions ride horses?) and won by a huge margin in the polls in the global survey.
Lead hero producer Ryan "Reav3" Mireles said: "We are very happy to see Skania win the championship in the visual and gameplay update voting. Because we think he really has a lot of potential to become a very special hero in League of Legends. We tried small tweaks to Skaner's skill set, but these attempts didn't succeed in increasing his usage. So this time we're going to try to optimize his skill set, themes, and visuals on a massive scale (similar to Thayne and Agart). We're going to try to keep his kidnapping moves in some way, but we're going to optimize the rest of the hero.
Shell People haven't had much background set out lately, so we hope to further develop their world and backstory. We are still months away from officially launching this plan. However, we will always share our progress in the development blog after we start construction. At that time, I hope that everyone can provide more feedback on this scorpion hero. Therefore, we must pay attention to the posts updated in the second half of this year.
In addition, we will talk about the eternal bridesmaid, Shivana. We know that our beloved Dragon Girl always fails at the critical moment of winning the crown, which makes everyone feel very disappointed. Like many of you, we'd love to see her updated. Because we believe that this mighty dragon shapeshifter has a lot of optimization potential. However, I believe you should also know that we do not always vote for visual and gameplay updates, such as Dr. Mondo. So while we can't guarantee that the protagonist of the next visual and gameplay update program will be Shivana, she is also indeed the hero we are most likely to experiment with updates outside of the visual and gameplay update votes.
Please be sure to pay attention to the update of Skania's visuals and gameplay this year. In addition, if there is a new plan to update other heroes, we will definitely share it with you as soon as possible!
● Gothic theme popularity
Similar to the voting results of the Visual and Gameplay Update Survey, gothic themes won overwhelmingly in the skin theme optimization voting in each region. In second place with a large gap is "Purgatory"; The third place is "The Light of the Firmament".
Put away your coat, cane and top hat, and now we're going to go the "gothic" route!
We're excited to see this level of excitement from the non-mainstream ghosts of yesteryear, and we're looking forward to presenting you with this rebellious skin theme.
We've barely visited the "gothic" theme before – thankfully, it's not yet obsolete. We are also looking forward to finally being able to put our middle school aesthetics into the current League of Legends. Not only that, but we designed many different directions for the launch of this set of styles. We've experimented with some of these directions, and we're constantly discovering new possibilities – from cute weird to serious and dark, there's so much to try! Next, we will try to find out the most feeling and attractive aspects of the Gothic skin, so as to determine the direction of the new skin!
We will make further revisions to these policies later. For now, though, we're ready to introduce this theme in a balanced and rational manner.
Finally, on behalf of every member of the team, we would like to thank you all for your vote, feedback, and enduring passion for League of Legends! We will continue to work hard to listen to everyone's ideas and integrate them into the game!
