VISUAL UPDATES
Check your (force) pulse, because the Kassadin update is on PBE! [when it’s up]
The man who simply walked into the void is receiving an update to his visuals! Kassadin is a rather old champion, so it’s without question that he’d be needing some polish. Though dated, Kassadin’s personality and theme had some strong notes that we looked to maintain with this release, rather than recreate. As such, our goal with this update was to strengthen what was currently in game.
In this update, we wanted to bring his model, texture, animations and icons into the modern era. He had received updated particles not too long ago, but they did receive a slight update as well. His skins have also received like love, including the long requested flip on Harbinger’s blade.
Some questions to keep in mind as you take a look at Kassadin!
Does this still read as Kassadin to you?
Do you feel that anything you find core to Kassadin is missing?
How do you feel about Kassadin’s skins?
We’d really appreciate it if you’d take a look at Kassadin, and let us know of any bugs and/or feedback that come your way. Your feedback helps to guide changes we can make, as well as helps us grow as a team.
