I might be wrong here, but I don’t think the word “Founders” is random. My theory is that the new “Founders” versions of these skins are probably meant for the original owners of the old rare skins, not necessarily the new version everyone gets. For example, “Founders Silver Kayle” might be the special version given to people who already owned Silver Kayle before it was vaulted. Then the regular Silver Kayle could potentially be unvaulted or made available again through League Classic, I'm almost 100% positive it'll return in the Collector's Bundle tab of the store. This tab still exists in modern league, but I barely even knew about it. (you can get Goth Annie from it to this day, even though she's also getting a Founder skin so i think they'll vault her soon)

That would line up with what Riot already did during the 2022 mythic/prestige overhaul. When old Prestige skins came back, original owners got special 2022 versions for free. People who bought the skins later from the mythic shop only got the regular version, not the commemorative one. Those 2022 versions were basically the “you had it first” reward. This feels like it could be the same situation. So instead of Riot just rereleasing Silver Kayle and angering old owners, they could make Silver Kayle available again while giving original owners “Founders Silver Kayle” as the permanently exclusive version. Same idea could apply to Black Alistar, Goth Annie, Rusty Blitzcrank, etc. The name “Founders” makes way more sense to me if it’s referring to the original owners / early supporters. If it’s just a new skin anyone can earn through League Classic, then the name feels kind of weird. Founder of what, exactly?

Obviously we don’t know yet, and Riot could go a different direction. But I don’t think that word is just flavor text. It sounds like a commemorative label, the same way the 2022 Prestige variants were. But now I'm curious.... Would you prefer to have Silver Kayle or Founders Silver Kayle if you had to choose one? Because one thing is 100% confirmed - one will be rare, and one won't be. It's just a matter of which one lol

Her passive butterflies that spawn around the map haven't worked for around 6-7 months. Just reposting because I haven't seen anyone reporting having the same issue and I'm starting to wonder if it is just me but my partner also can't see them. It happens during the second round guest phase, I can see them just fine before the first match and during the first match. Maybe it's just my account but I don't think so

I think league has been missing for quite some time an old hag-like witch in their roster. Here's my pitch if anyone is curious to hear a champion idea:

Her whole identity would be a witch who lives in a shack in the woods. She'd be a top laner. She would transform the visual of the closest tower near her and turn it into her "Shack". Vines, planks, etc. Similar to Azir in a way but not requiring the tower to die, just altering its visual appearence is all. She would be a top laner who's meant to stay close to her tower, she'd be weaker when she roams but extremely strong in her own territory (ie near her tower). It would be harder to farm on her and easier to get bullied in lane like Kayle but if she's able to secure cs under her tower and get a good gank or 2 with patience she'd be able to snowball and get a good lead. I didn't wanna specify abilities or anything but i had some ideas. I just didn't wanna make the post too long. What do you guys think?

Can we just thank the gods for Hellfire Hatchet real quick? Petition to bring this to normal SR?????? We love killing tanks. I build it even on Mages. No... ESPECIALLY on mages

LeBlanc may not simply be an immortal mage. She may be an Aspect, or perhaps a fallen Aspect — specifically, the Aspect of Deception.

In League of Legends lore, Aspects are celestial beings tied to powerful concepts. Pantheon was the Aspect of War. Leona is tied to the sun. Diana is tied to the moon. Zoe is tied to twilight and change. These beings are not just strong magic users; they are connected to fundamental forces and ideas that shape the world.

LeBlanc fits this pattern strangely well.

Her entire existence is built around deception. She is not just someone who lies. She is deception in every possible form: false identities, illusions, manipulation, hidden histories, political puppets, clones, body doubles, secret orders, and masks within masks. Nobody truly knows who she is, how old she is, or whether the “LeBlanc” people see is even the original person. That is not just a character trait. It feels like a cosmic identity.

This could also explain her immortality. LeBlanc has existed since the time of Mordekaiser, yet the lore never clearly explains why she has lived for so long. If she is an Aspect, or a mortal who merged with one, her unnatural lifespan would make much more sense. She would not be surviving through ordinary magic alone. She would be anchored to a celestial concept: deception itself.

There is also the possibility that LeBlanc is a fallen or corrupted Aspect. Unlike champions such as Leona, Diana, or Pantheon, she has no obvious Targonian imagery. She does not present herself as divine. She hides in Noxus, operates through the Black Rose, and buries every truth about herself beneath layers of illusion. That may be intentional. If she was once connected to the celestial realm, she may have severed herself from it, fallen from it, betrayed it, or hidden from it.

This would make her conflict with Mordekaiser even more interesting. Mordekaiser is not simply a powerful undead warlord. He is a being who seeks domination over death, souls, and reality itself. If LeBlanc is the Aspect of Deception, then Mordekaiser may be one of the few beings capable of threatening her on a metaphysical level. He may be able to see through her masks, enslave her, expose her true nature, or destroy the systems of lies she has built over centuries.

The theory also explains why LeBlanc is so difficult to define. Maybe “LeBlanc” is not one woman anymore. Maybe she was once a mortal host chosen by the Aspect of Deception, but over time the host and the Aspect became indistinguishable. Or maybe the original LeBlanc died long ago, and what remains is the concept of deception wearing her face.

That would mean every clone, every illusion, every false identity, and every rumor is not a distraction from who LeBlanc is.

It is who LeBlanc is.

She is not just hiding the truth.

She may be the cosmic force that makes truth impossible to find.

I think we mostly default to the chronicles map when it comes to cosmic forces. For example, naturally one would assume light is void's counter. And life is death's counter, etc. But we know now that the Void fears Death, it's been a recurring theme for a very long time. The Windrunner comic where the naaru inside alleria begs her to kill sylvanas, and sylvanas' death magic pushes her to kill alleria in return. And with Xal'atath and sylvanas in the most recent cinematic it just confirms this "death counters void" thing. So I thought about what other ways the cosmology chart can be interpreted. Specifically, which forces are best at countering others. And I came to this conclusion. Life counters fel magic (fel magic can be drawn from sacrifice, from death, fel can't do anything with life except try to snuff it out, but life fights back on every world. Death counters void as we know, Arcane counters death (we know the titans are involved in the Shadowlands somehow and the whole thing might be their ordered system to try and contain death. Void counters arcane, classic entropy vs order. Fel counters light (the army of the light proves this) and lastly, but also the most shaky one, I think Light counters Life. Think about how it works in real life - the sun is the reason all life on earth exists. i believe in warcraft there's a similar relationship between the cosmic forces of life and light. So light could effectively cut off life magic at the source, giving no room to grow. Do you guys think blizzard might push this chart moving forward to kind of get away from the old cosmology chart or what do you think about this interpretation? it's not which forces oppose eachother, it's which forces counter eachothers' magic.

Force	Counter
Fel	Life
Void	Death
Death	Order
Order	Void
Life	Light
Light	Fel

I've posted about this before, I've brought a lot of attention to it. In Arena, Spirit Blossom Morgana doesn't spawn her map butterflies after the second round special guest phase. It causes some map effects that interfere with the butterflies, it cancels them out and they don't show up for the rest of the game. It is my favorite skin in the whole game and I love playing arena. I've not been able to enjoy the skin for a very long time, nobody is willing to look into this and fix the bug and i've submitted lots of reports. Please can someone take a look, just play a game for yourself and see. I'm postive it is a quick easy fix, the second round special guests have some map effects of their own and they just need to not interfere with morgana's. I'd bet dollars to donuts that it's the same with Swain's ravens. I bet they also don't show up after the second round special guests. I posted again because I've just checked the patch notes for this patch today and I saw Riot fixed a bug where "Elise's human death animation played when she died in Spider form". If we can fix that, we have to be able to fix this! I am pleading here.

How would you all feel about a higher tier skin (legendary or exalted) for lux set in the K/DA/music universe?

I made a bug report but I thought posting here would be a little more direct because it's been quite a while. The Spirit Blossom Morgana skin's passive butterfly map effect does not work in arena because of the second round special guests, or whatever they're called. As soon as we all have to pick on the second round, the butterflies disappear and they aren't visible again. I main Morgana and I love arena so it's been kinda bleh not getting to see the skin's best feature. Thank you if anyone sees this and helps with it.

If anyone has anything they want from the new skins coming out please don't forget to leave feedback on the PBE thread. It's the only place Riot looks for player feedback, you can still make a change to the skin and the mythic variant if you have anything you want to say to them. There's only a dozen comments and 7 likes, they won't be doing any changes with the skin (i really want the ult form to last longer personally) unless we speak up
