Some of you have been wondering: I'm now working as a designer for the new game mode we briefly announced in the Season 2024 Look Ahead video. Taking a smol break from VFX and learning new skills! 😄

Features Thread for ✨❄️ Winterblessed Diana ❄️✨ Let's start with her Pentakill Map Effect! When she gets a Pentakill, the map becomes snowy and an Aurora appears overhead for a few seconds. Everyone sees this, but it is slightly toned down for everyone but Diana.

We put a lot of emphasis and time in his Ultimate, in which he teleports you to his city. This was legit the most challenging effect I've ever gotten to work on.

We're trying something a little special for this skin~ 👀 When Empyrean Pyke gets a *Pentakill*, he breaks the dimension, creating a vast portal that covers a large portion of the map for a few seconds. The R kills are intensified for Pyke and its victim.

We **really** wanted us to tie in Twisted Fate at least somewhere in his skin, and it felt best to have it in his death: Graves would have a blue card and TF would teleport him before he'd die, to make sure he'd be safe. You've no idea how much I begged for this to happen. :')
