Apologies for the content gap, guys. Between my own ISP issues and a problem with our hosting provider it’s been a strange couple days. Enough of that, though. On to the news!
Like Lee Sin, the Urfrider Corki skin is indeed real. It’s also now available for purchase in the store for 975 RP. I am glad to see that Corki wasn’t getting another legendary skin. Of course, almost every Corki skin feels legendary because almost every one is a remodel. Nature of the champ, I guess.
I still love my Red Baron Corki, even if it is a bit simple. If I can catch a sale on this any time soon, you can bet I’ll be buying it.
Buried among the April 1st madness, Riot hid Urfrider Corki, the latest skin in the League. I won’t lie, I’ll be a little sad if this is Corki’s second legendary skin. As an owner of Red Baron Corki, I would hate to see Urfrider usurp one of the original legendary skins.
Still, I have loved Corki since I first played him, and the chance to play him riding a manatee is awfully tempting.
Riot has posted the skins and bundles pack for the upcoming Vladimir patch, which usually means we’ll see it in the next day or two. Of course, I’m going out of town during a major patch again so my impressions of the actual gameplay may be a bit delayed.
His skins look surprisingly cool, though I think I like the clean, colonial looking getup the best. It also looks like he will be ranged, as many people have been wondering. Corki is also getting his one millionth skin in this patch. I don’t think Riot understands that more skins do not make people want to play a character more. In a way, it breeds a bit of animosity from Singed fans and the like – toons that only have one or two skins, basically.
Zilean also gets a new skin, epically themed for dropping his peace bombs on the heads of his enemies. Hopefully we’ll see patchnotes soon so I can cover the inevitable Xin Zhao nerf.
