In the communication industry, “Hell development” is the term referring to products and projects that have been deadlocked for many years at the stage of development before going into production. For League of Legends alone, the Skarner remake is considered a project sinking in the “development hell”. The reason comes from the time to come up with the idea until the official remake of Skarner lasts for nearly 3 years. Moreover, Riot themselves also admit that sometimes they have a deadlock in making a plan to remake this character.
It took nearly 3 years for the project to remake Skarner to be completed
Therefore, when officially introduced on the morning of March 19 (Vietnam time), Skarner has quickly attracted attention from the community. The impressive player is that Skarner's skill set has been comprehensively upgraded and extremely strong. Especially the E skills with the ability to move over the terrain will help Skarner have unexpected attacks in the jungle position.
The new skill set of Skarner has made a very good impression on gamers
However, the image in the game of Skarner “new” proved to be not satisfied with gamers when it proved too bad. Moreover, the image in the new match of Skarner is said to be too “gentle” and is quite different from the battle wallpaper of this champion. As a result, many League of Legends gamers were disappointed and turned to criticizing Riot afterwards.
A gamer frankly judged: “I really like the skill set but the new appearance of Skarner is so bland.
“It is funny when right in the default skin, the color of the wallpaper and the shaping in the game is quite different” – another gamer commented
“They are trying to turn Skarner into a creature that belongs to Ixtal but it is true that this new shape is too bad” – a player does not hide the disappointment of the appearance of the new Skarner.
The significant difference in color scheme between the battle and the wallpaper of Skarner remake is the reason why Riot received “bricks”
It should be known that Riot Games designed the characters and costumes that had a big difference between shaping in the battle and the wallpaper for a long time. The most typical example is Sivir's warrior princess outfit when this skin's weapon in the game and in the wallpaper is different. It should be known that this skin has existed since the time Sivir was launched and even if this character has undergone a appearance upgrade in 2022, the above error is still repeated. Sadly, they continued to make that mistake with Skarner remake.
Riot has received a lot of “bricks and stones” because the wallpaper and shaping in the game of Skin Sivir Princess Princess are too different
In fairness, the “new” Skarner is still in the process of testing at the PBE server. Therefore, Riot has the right to edit the appearance of this character in the near future before the official launch. Hopefully the Riot will listen to the community and have reasonable edits to Skarner so that the character's remake is successful in the future.
