Arcane-inspired costume suddenly turns into a “PC destroyer”
Skin based on Arcane turns “PC destroyer”
With the release of season 2, the movie Arcane had a complete and memorable ending with many characters. From the story about ideals and society to the complicated relationships between characters, Arcane season 2 has solved it all and brought great satisfaction to the audience. Riot Games even created an extremely large movie franchise from this movie to exploit in the future.
Arcane season 2 has a complete ending
Among Arcane’s characters, Ekko stands out with noble ideals, excellent intelligence and a touching love story with Powder. This has helped Ekko win great love from the audience and become a very popular character. However, this character’s Arcane Ekko Final Stand skin in League of Legends was discovered to be a “PC destroyer”.
The Final Stand Arcane Ekko skin is having a serious error
Specifically, the League of Legends community discovered that when gamers use this skin with multiple colors and raise their ultimate ability, the FPS in the game will seriously decrease. With strong PCs, the FPS will drop from 500 to only 200. However, according to the community, with weak PCs that can only run League of Legends at 100 FPS, when raising the ultimate skill mentioned above, the number This is only 20. Even many gamers’ PC hardware is recorded as being more susceptible to damage when the above FPS drop phenomenon occurs. This makes Ekko’s Arcane skin a genuine “pay to lose” skin and a subject of ridicule from the community.
With a high quality PC with 500 FPS…
… then after Ekko raised his ultimate, this number was reduced to only about 200
And when the community tested on a weaker PC with 189 FPS…
…. then this number drops to 92 FPS and affects all allies
YouTuber Vandiril shared: “Some people even told me that this error causes FPS to drop from 100 to 20 so it’s even worse on weak PCs. This is the reason why people should not buy skins in League of Legends.”
“Riot thinks if it doesn’t make money, wait a few years before fixing it” – One player sarcastically commented.
“It’s really unimaginable when the FPS drops from 600 to 90” – Another player shared
Riot’s Arcane spin-off products all have problems
Before Ekko’s skin, products like Viktor’s remake or Riot’s Shattered Arcane Jinx skin all received mixed opinions from the community. With Viktor, Riot has remade this champion’s appearance in League of Legends to become taller and thinner than before. However, this is opposed because it loses the temperament of a highly ambitious character who wants to build his own empire like Viktor.
Viktor’s somewhat excessively skinny appearance after the re-do was objected to by many people
When it comes to the Shattered Arcane Jinx skin, the price is up to 250 USD (about 6 million VND) to be sure owning this skin is considered too expensive. Furthermore, instead of the usual form of accumulating and opening chests, Riot chose the “gacha” form to receive this skin and that made gamers even more angry. Not to mention the quality of this skin itself is questioned such as the lack of emotes, the typical return animation of transformations, the Pentakil effect…
Riot’s application of the “gacha” method to receive the Shattered Arcane Jinx skin also received a lot of criticism.
In all fairness, Arcane is a successful movie, but the way Riot Games built and sold its follow-up products created many mixed opinions. This is a big lesson for Riot in introducing other products in the future. Hopefully in the near future, Riot Games will find a way to fix the error of the Arcane Ekko skin and help players no longer face a major disadvantage because of this skin.
