Star Guardian Rakan Skin Spotlight - League of Legends

[@JustDonny]

It's so cool how he goes un-corrupted when his Q is about to heal him. My favorite feature!

[@Vizible21]

Maybe because healing spells are guardian thing..

[@CoreZeroPH]

His W also "purges" his corruption for a split second and the corruption being blasted out is what knocks up enemy champs. Neat.

[@jessicaschlembach7294]

The same is with Xayah's ultimate ^^

[@Zerratedsoul]

I like that in their recall Xayah un-corrupts while Rakan is further corrupted, like he's trying to save Xayah from said corruption by taking it on himself.

[@allways28]

why is it corruption ?

[@barnykirashi]

What i like in it? -He get's purified, as he heals! -He flips his hair when he dies -HE BECAMES A FIGHTER JET WHEN ULTS! RAKAN IS SPED

Rakan star guardian hits different after the lore drop

[@ivory753]

Bro the way Xayah becomes cleansed from corruption when they recall together

[@HarmonicVector]

Rakan just wants to cleanse Xayah's mind. Even if it means that he'll be forever bound to darkness, that's okay. She was better than he was anyways... At least that's what he believes.

[@JustDonny]

As a Rakan one trick I'm so freaking excited for this skin you have no idea.

I think these legendary skins are great, but i also think that Riot's gotten lazy with their legendary skins recently.

[@legoshirocha]

Bartkus Productions i feel after we’re not longer getting login screens for legendary skins which actually Dark Cosmic Jhin was the last one and it was really goddamm beautiful. The rest after him look nothing like his in terms of quality , I still like SG Xayah and Rakan skins of course but I can see we could have had something better. But that’s my opinion so I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😝🤟🏻.

[@loi4466]

@@legoshirocha just compare these to SG Ahri and you'll know how lame it is, normal attack doesn't even change that much at all

[@x3Drake4]

Still better than project Pyke which used base skin animations for walking, attacking and spawning

[@loi4466]

@I have a Shota fetish then i guess what they needed to do is reduce the price, which worked ok with Gun godess Missfortune

[@deepshaking1]

@@loi4466 Ok no there's a huge difference here. Ahri is a champ who's animations are known for being bad simply because she's one of the oldest champs in thr game thus theres a lot more room for improvement on her if they get the chance to change her animations on a legendary skin thus making it seem like they made a ton of effort to change the animations when in reality you're just looking at what they did at least a good 7 years ago compared to what they can do now. Xayah/Rakan on the other hand are like 2.5-3 years old at most. They have some of the more modern animations currently on the game. Because the fact there's not a lot of room to change animations without making it completely unrecognizable to players what the character is doing. This happens with a lot of newer champs because they usually have a lot more going on in their kit/animations compared to older champs who are relatively straight forward as to what's happening when. Hell even DC Jhin uses a lot of the same animations aside from autos/passive, ult, and haste/crit. DS Thresh also does a lot of the same animations aside from his walk because in Riot's words majority of his animations are pretty good for how old of a champ he is Also the animations on these skins did change. It's the fact they're so subtle you'll probably not even notice it if you weren't hyper focused on it.
