Riot Games has responded to community feedback with visual upgrades to Fractured Jinx and the rework for Viktor, both of which are set to arrive in League of Legends Patch 14.24. These adjustments come after fans voiced strong criticism about the initial designs revealed on the Public Beta Environment (PBE).
Fractured Jinx: A Better Reflection of Arcane
The new Fractured Jinx skin, inspired by Arcane Season 2, was initially met with criticism due to perceived design shortcomings. Players argued the skin lacked the detailed quality expected, particularly considering its high price point of 3200 RP.
Adding fuel to the fire, the Wild Rift version of the skin featured her iconic hood, a significant omission in the League of Legends iteration.
What’s New for Jinx?
In response to the backlash, Riot announced key improvements:
- The addition of the iconic hood from Arcane to the skin’s Heroína de Zaun form.
- Enhanced visual details to better justify its premium cost.
These changes aim to align the League of Legends version with fan expectations and the quality seen in other Riot games.
Viktor Rework: A Visual Overhaul in Progress
The Viktor rework seeks to bring his appearance closer to his portrayal in Arcane. However, its debut on the PBE sparked disappointment among fans who felt the updates fell short of modern standards.
Current Progress and Plans
According to Paul “Riot Pabro” Balleza, Riot is still evaluating potential adjustments. While no finalized details have been revealed, SkinSpotlights reported that some of Viktor’s skins have already received minor visual improvements. Riot promises to provide further updates once they finalize their plans.
Arcane Content Expansion
The updates to Jinx and Viktor coincide with Riot’s broader integration of Arcane content into the game. Patch 14.24 will introduce skins for other fan-favorite characters like Ekko, Heimerdinger, and Vi, alongside thematic updates to reflect their appearances in the Netflix series.
Conclusion
With these adjustments, Riot Games demonstrates its commitment to meeting player expectations and delivering high-quality content. Fans can look forward to seeing the revamped Jinx Quebrantada and Viktor rework in Patch 14.24, alongside the new Arcane-inspired skins.
These updates not only enrich the game’s aesthetic appeal but also strengthen the connection between League of Legends and its critically acclaimed Netflix adaptation.
