The upcoming Prestige Heavenscale Lee Sin promises to offer a breathtaking visual experience worthy of its prestigious price tag.
Throughout the years, Riot Games has consistently raised the bar with the release of legendary skins for League of Legends, with major skin launches often featuring Legendary or higher-tier options.
Within the Heavenscale skin line, Lee Sin will occupy the Legendary tier, and it will boast not only the base Legendary version but also an additional Prestige Edition. This effectively translates to two Legendary skins within this particular line.
In the base Heavenscale Lee Sin skin, his hands take on the appearance of golden claws, complementing a striking red robe with multiple jade accessories. Notably, a large black ribbon conceals his eyes, and all of his abilities are accompanied by a resplendent gold-colored effect.
The Prestige Edition of Heavenscale Lee Sin introduces distinct visual elements, featuring purple claws and an overall purple hue to his abilities. Lee Sin dons a regal purple robe with a white ribbon covering his eyes, and his accessories are enhanced with an orange hue.
Despite the uniqueness of the Prestige Edition, it has faced criticism for its perceived similarities to the original skin, especially when compared to other Prestige variants such as Jhin’s Dark Cosmic Erasure.
Acknowledging the critiques and seeking to enhance the distinctiveness of the cosmetic, Riot Games has announced plans to introduce captivating elements to his skin Notably, the Prestige Edition will receive unique effects to further distinguish it within the League of Legends cosmetic landscape.
Specifically, according to SkinSpotlights, upon Lee Sin defeating the elemental dragon, a captivating dragon-killing mark will be left in the cave, accompanied by the release of a majestic dragon into the air.
To address the criticism and justify the pricing associated with the variant Mythology, Riot Games is making concerted efforts to invest in both design and effects. These innovative additions represent Riot Games’ proactive approach to enriching the player experience and ensuring that fans find added value in their skin purchases.
