Battle Priestess Soraka, μεγάλη αγάπη για την Soraka

Μεγάλη αγάπη δείχνει η Riot Games, τον τελευταίο καιρό για την Soraka. Μετά τον οπτικό επανασχεδιασμό της Soraka, the Starchild, Dryad Soraka και Divane Soraka, η εταιρία σχεδιάζει ήδη και νέο skin για αυτήν.

Το όνομα του νέου skin είναι Battle Priestess Soraka, όπως και η εικόνα που βλέπετε παραπάνω διέρρευσε στο Reddit, ενώ μετά από αυτό ο IronStylus έδωσε μερικές παρακάνω πληροφορίες στο Αμερικανικό φόρουμ.

Δεν έχει γίνει ακόμα γνωστό το πότε θα κυκλοφορήσει η Battle Priestress Soraka.

"Yes, a new skin was indeed planned and executed on. You may have seen an image of it floating around. Here's the skinny:

Soraka's visual rework was started a while ago, Grumpy Monkey actually created her new base and did an amazing job I feel. He managed to capture everything we did love abour Soraka (hooves, bananas, horn, <3) and injected a high amount of fidelity while simultaneously simplifying, making her elegant. This set the bar for us for any following skin. While her model was being worked up I concepted what is colloquially known as “Battle Priestess Soraka”. However, as we poured resources into her base rework BP Soraka didn’t evolve too much. 

As the base rework progressed BP Soraka strayed further away from where we were aiming the base. There was a bit of divergence. Soraka’s base maintained elegance but the BP concept was done far before her rework was completed, putting the skin in too much of a vacuum. By the time that her base was at completion, we evaluated BP Soraka and found it lacking for the prescient we had set with her base. It felt chunky rather than elegant. It didn’t quite mesh with her animations either. Particles were in good shape, but the skin itself lacked synergy. So, we put off BP Soraka for further iteration.

What we want to do is to release a skin that’s up to expectations which we have set for her new base. This may or may not culminate in the release of BP Soraka. We’re currently evaluating and iterating. In fact I’m most likely going to be the one who’s doing the iteration on the concept!

Hopefully that clarifies some things. We know fans are clamoring for a new Soraka skin and we want to deliver. We want to make sure the skin is up to par with the bar we’ve set with her new base. Right now as she stands BP Soraka is not up to snuff. We’ll see where she ends up!"
