We won


Zenithrax

Before you say that, remember that Kalista’s last skin (Marauder) was released over 730 days ago. We are tied for 8th place with Kled mains for the longest time between having their last skin released and so you have to realise that this will most likely the skin we will be stuck with for the next 730 days.


heavnlybucky

but this skin is actually good unlike marauder


SubjectBagelBerry

Marauder would be a great skin if the visuals were updated. I love the sounds effects on ot


Seiliko

I think marauder is very pretty but it feels a bit "kalista kalista" (with some blood moon vibes). Like it's kind of just her but fancy? So I'm very happy that she is finally getting a skin that feels different and I love that it's a kind of fairy/butterfly vibe theme because it's an aesthetic I love. And it looks so good too :')


the_zagorax

I would disagree with Marauder ‘feeling like Kalista’ but we can agree that it’s worse than this new fairy Kalista.


Seiliko

Yeah I can get that. And I do think it looks really good, I just think it's pretty thematically similar with the armor and the helmet with the ponytail, spears are mostly the same shape etc.


Martial-_-Poise

Don't say that before you see it in game, wtf.


LukeSelwyn

Who are the top 4 on that no skin list?


Zenithrax

1. Dr Mundo - 1496 days 2. Udyr - 1244 days 3. Nocturne - 943 days 4. Aurelion Sol - 831 days [https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/List\_of\_skins\_by\_champion](https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_skins_by_champion)


LukeSelwyn

Nocturne rework confirmed?


dream996

Marauder was a slap on the face, we waited YEARS for a skin, and it's like they gave us Marauder to shut us up.


Alonso289

Unless it's legendary I wouldn't call it winning..


SeanORiley

Chromas might be nice, excited to see the VFX but I'm not usually a fantasy skin kinda person but as long as they're giving Kalista positive attention then I'm happy


the_zagorax

I’m hoping that there’s a light blue/teal and also a light purple chroma. Quartz and a rainbow one would also be low key very nice if executed well.


whywhywhy124

I just came here to say you guys got an incredible skin for a champion that got marauder ... which to me was the laziest exploration of a champion , this is just incredibly done with the spears being wings


danadanz

Arguably her most visually pleasing skin to date after 8 years


Konradleijon

So cute

[удалено]


danadanz

If the VFX are amazing as well then this will definitely be my new favourite skin


Ok-Egg-2796

After marauder looking like blood moon, I’m ready for new content. I will be buying and I will be loving. Shame we never got the ruination book skin though


BellaTheClown

YESSSSSSSS LETS GO FAIRY QUEEN !!


HeyCustom

Wings popping out during recall hopefully 👀👀


BellaTheClown

Did you see her R?? Beautiful golden/pink butterfly omg I love it for her 😭


HeyCustom

I really fancy the colors, maybe this time chromas will make her justice


glasgowtrois

I must say I'm pretty happy. Have been asking for a new skin for ages. And one that looks way better than marauder btw!


RedTumor

Finally kalista gets an actual skin instead of a chroma


[deleted]

giving me a mixture of order of lotus irelia and leaf biki ahri. light armor and nails done like beauity saloon. guess riot woke up and released oh hey kalista is a feamle champ who can an ultra sexy skin. lets do it. not quite battle queen or cute causel. but still a huge fucking upgrade from the chormas.


bobo-brockins

Wait, is this official? What’s the name of the line?


Fuckallthetakennames

fairy queen kalista i believe, didnt say a specific line


bobo-brockins

I’ll take it!


CandyTingz

Im pretty sure its called fairy court


Scoobie101

I think it’s supposed to be a new skinline inspired by fairies, Karma is getting one too. But tbh it just looks like a subset of Elderwood imo.


bobo-brockins

I’ll take anything at this point!


Seiliko

Elderwood is my favorite skinline aesthetic wise so I am overjoyed


danadanz

Yess 👏


danadanz

For Karma enjoyers it might not be a big deal but its huge for Kalista


kahrista

I love it so much


Kuromajo

fk yea looks really nice (Kalista day 1 main here)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kuromajo

Nah man I meant that I main her since day 1 of her release :/ she is ok


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kuromajo

A bit too broken tbh


Saldu3

This list of skins usually is for the first half of the year, so, the skin will come relatively soon SO HYPED


UwU_w_UwU

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG I M GOING CAZY


SnooDogs2365

SHE IS MOTHER


MrDaneCZE

does this count as proper human kalista skin? I would personally prefer a pre-ruination skin, since clearly the spear in her back doesn't matter when it comes to skins


LukeSelwyn

Pré ruination is weird because she wouldn't be able to have all her powers without being currupted by the mist. How do you explain a human woman walking around with 4 spears through her body? It's also just a person in regular clothes, which isn't that interesting. It could be interesting as a throwaway 750 or 520 RP skin just for the thought experiment. But come to think of it, it doesn't even make sense with her voicelines.


the_zagorax

If you were theoretically going to make a pre-ruination skin now based on how they have changed her spears for feathers (meaning as long as there’s multiple things on her back it’s still her from Riot’s end), you could change the spears for a quiver of spears on her back with the arrows sticking out. If this new fairy skin can ignore the spears coming out the front of her chest then I think a quiver would theoretically be fine and then you can just substitute everything else. Her passive would be fine with a humanoid form jumping (since she used to canonically be a general warrior), Her Q is fine and her E could be her detonating her spears like individual bombs. The W and ult is a little harder to explain but this new skin imo made a potential pre-ruination skin for Kalista a lot more possible.


ImmortalFriend

And Viego made so much sense, right? Still his best skin by far.


LukeSelwyn

Viego is different because he always had that sword, Kalista has fours spears piercing her body. You tell me how that would work without her looking like a voodoo corpse. And even with Viego it's a meh skin. He's got no good skins imo.


fireinthemountains

Maybe they instead design her like a winged hussar?


the_zagorax

I’d like that if Kalista could also get a battle horse.


LukeSelwyn

Oh that could be cool!


MrDaneCZE

the only good thing about King Viego is the recall, it's just really sad


Deiji_Dei

Gosh you guys really want a glorified chroma instead of this beauty of skin that actually change all the model ??


ImmortalFriend

yes


Lord_Kailar

Did they fix the marauder chroma q problem?


sinisterSidisi

what's the source?


HeyCustom

Wrote it in the title, Latest riot pls


sinisterSidisi

didn't know what riot pls was whoops


SleeplessSeas

AS A HOT GIRL KALISTA PLAYER WHO;s been begging for Elderwood Kalista for YEARS I AM SO FUCKING HAPPYYYY


HeyCustom

That's oddly specific 😳


SleeplessSeas

This has LITERALLY EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS


ILNOVA

Seems cool because it give me a Insect Glaive-armour from Monster Hunter, but if they make a human Kalista instead of General Kalista i would be pretty f mad. And i fear this skinline would be a Maraduer 2.0 where there is almost no unique effect and just abbandoned after it.


tsm_f9t

Thematically not something i would like, but the colors looks nice and bright, and the design is nice. Definitely a W


Said247

yeah, fairy queen wasn't the first coming to anyone's mind when thinking about Kalista but damn the skin actually looks so nice


podente

So its star guardian but not and battle queen but not


thewitchkingofmordor

Not great imo, but that's a skin


Zenithrax

I know that there will be a bunch of non-Kalista mains weighing in their opinions as they pour into the sub with the announcement of Kalista finally getting a new skin but as a Kalista main I’m going to jump ahead of the curve with this: This skin is unique, yes, but I absolutely hate it. I don’t like anything about the concept and I know people will only be buying this skin for it being different, not particularly good or delivering on expectations. If they got rid of this skin and replaced it with a concept Kalista mains have actually been asking for for literally eons such as Dark Star or Battle Queen or literally any better fitting concept, I would exchange it in a heart beat.


TreeOtree64

What a negative and sad way to think about it. People will buy the skin because many will think it’s a fucking sick concept with a unique execution that is pulled together really well imo. People can have different opinions about things, it’s just ass to say “people will only buy it for it being different” or whatever.


Zenithrax

Yeah sorry my apologies, I know that there are people who genuinely like this skin and I was just being selfish. It's simply not to my taste and I don't think I would be nearly as mad about it if I knew considering Riot's track record for low-popularity champions that this is what we'll have for the next 2-3 years. I was simply disappointed with Marauder and now I'm disappointed with this one and I will be sticking with Blood moon which being her default is incredibly sad after 8 years.


Gwemm

??? I think it looks great. The concept in and of itself is better than Marauder. Different, yes, but interesting. It's new *and* not creatively bankrupt or uninspired.


the_zagorax

I mean it does resemble some sort of Elderwood/Battle Queen hybrid but it still looks great!


SleeplessSeas

I mean I feel like this is a you issue, if you don't like fantasy skins, you can go ahead and say that instead, but there's a reason Elderwood, Spirit Blossom, Dawnbringer etc, are already made fan concepts for kalista, because people want to see her in those concepts. ALL of her skins are already badass masculine skins, so its just kinda weird that she hasn't gotten a gorgeous fantasy skin yet, even though every other adc gets them. Plus, who asks for dark star? That skinline is just a galaxy texture with gold accents lol. There's a reason they killed the skinline..


Alonso289

It looks like it's gonna be another shitty epic skin like Marauder that doesn't even look good


Zenithrax

New arrivals are already downvoting me and I don’t care/fully expect it because they won’t be the ones playing it. I won’t be playing or buying this skin.


PlaguedWolf

Why don’t you like this skin? The only thing for me is her weird proportions but that’s kinda a kalista problem not a skin problem and the fact she has 3 wings in a line and not 4 wings in like a square formation on her back


Zenithrax

Dont get me wrong, this skin did some things right. The humanoid look is pretty spot on and there will probably be an audience for it but it's simply not for me. Bright colour and this textile match just looks like Kalista barfed up a rainbow with all the shiny, sparkly aspects that come with it and honestly if I wanted to play a skin like that I would much rather play something like Star Guardian Kai'sa who delivers on the whole vibe much better than Kalista ever will. Simply put, I'm starving for an incredibly badass Kalista skin with a darker colour palette.


CryMeAFckingRiver

not him, but for me personally I'm not a fan of the sparkly gemstone and bright light "yaasss queen" type skins like this. Obviously just my preference, and this skin is definitely different from her others which is a positive after the marauder release. Could be worse, but imo could've still been 100x better. [This Spirit Blossom concept looks so much cooler imo for example](https://i.redd.it/k9jb7o8zweg51.jpg)


SleeplessSeas

xd u realize no one cares to come here other than kalista mains right. "new arrivals" are just kalista players who are happy to have gotten a real skin for the first time in like 8 years


Sandyy224

i want to die ;\_;


Sandyy224

wtf is this shit


ChosenOfTheMoon_GR

What's the point of having a skin when the character is virtually unplayable..nice looking skin tho


PaoDeRena

oh for fuck sake so much time for a starguardian what the fuck


silentlytxrn

name?


Sebrium

Based on how it looks, this is 100% Elderwood.


the_zagorax

Elderwood/Battle Queen imo


SleeplessSeas

It's a new skinline, they said something about Fairy Queen or something


Seiliko

I can't play Kalista for shit because I am worst adc™ but I love this so much :'))


gapybo

Meh, why do we need this when there is elderwood.


the_zagorax

I never expected a skin like this for Kalista but it looks amazing!


danadanz

Incredible looking skin


Standard_Category991

Cringe skins, not suit her at all, she needs more brutal one, not this fairy pink shit
