TLDR: Firelight Ekko is getting delayed to get new sound effects and a homeguard animation added.

I wonder if it will be free like the other Arcane skins. Looks much better than the others though so I kind of doubt it.

Firelight Ekko Needs New SFX To Be a 1350 RP Skin (or, Don't Let Riot Reduce the Value of 1350 RP Skins But Still Charge the Same)

Hi there. I think the new Firelight Ekko skin looks really nice. Here's the spotlight:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=updzCFaSj1c

Great visual effects. However there are no new sound effects on his basic attacks or abilities. All 1350 RP skins currently have new SFX except for, I think, Full Metal Jayce. But that's a really old skin, made when Riot was still figuring out what they wanted 1350 RP skins to be. And at least that skin has a voice filter, which this skin does not.

Based on our current guidelines and precedents on skin prices, this skin should have new SFX added (which I think Ekko mains would appreciate). Or it should simply be a 975 RP skin.

People complained that the 2017 SKT skins (of which Ekko was also a part of!) were not worth 1350 RP because they didn't have sound effects, and in response Riot added new sound effects to all of them! So this is something that can be done. It should be done.

I know missing SFX on one skin might not seem like a big deal for you. But this is coming in the midst of a community realization that Riot is trying to see how much value they can pull out of their systems and still charge us full price for.

Our new battle pass sucks. Our new prestige point shop sucks. I do not think it is an acceptable precedent for Riot to set to charge "full price" (i.e. 1350 RP) for a skin that does not have full value. If our 1350 RP skins do not get new SFX any more, then they are also going to suck.

This skin would have been 975 RP if released a few years ago. It should either be upgraded to be a 1350 RP skin or it should be 975 RP now. Thank you for reading.


edit: To really see the difference in what you are losing with this skin, look at Ekko's other skins for reference as to how we are being over-charged here:

  • Academy = new model but NO new VFX and NO new SFX; 750RP
  • Sandstorm = new model, new VFX, and new SFX on recall and every ability; 975 RP
  • Firelight = new model, new VFX, but NO new SFX except on recall; 1350 RP

It just doesn't make sense.

My Arcane Theory about one of the Firelight members

First things first, this is not an Ekko post. I think at this point it is pretty obvious Ekko is the leader of the Firelights, so I'm not even going to get into that, if you have questions about that theory I can reply in the comments.

This post is about a different member of the Firelights, specifically this member:

https://preview.redd.it/8m4zx568qtz71.png?width=1417&format=png&auto=webp&s=e0e181cadc9195a61a5369c8e4cc5d612867b8a5

If this person doesn't look familiar, let me help you out a little:

https://preview.redd.it/vkrul55rqtz71.png?width=1316&format=png&auto=webp&s=c2b061d08a0578525830bfbcec471aa09923637a

That's right, Sky, Viktor and Jayce's assistant, is a member of the Firelights.

Let's look at the evidence for this theory:

First, starting with the obvious, both people have very similar features. The hair and the skin color are basically a perfect match, and from what we can tell the physical stature is as well.

Second, we know from flashbacks that Sky knows Viktor from their childhoods, meaning Sky is from Zaun, not Piltover, which would give her a great reason to join the Firelights and be associated with Ekko. Here is some quick evidence of that:

https://preview.redd.it/rdg7rz9jstz71.png?width=1440&format=png&auto=webp&s=3d1497f7a308282119e05248881d36bad38e0f61

https://preview.redd.it/yxw6jp5lstz71.png?width=1438&format=png&auto=webp&s=e96cc80ccab02c3f7d0f469c163bb87a8abb3c98

Third, in the final fight between the firelights and Vi, Jinx, and Cait, this member is the one that recovers the Hextech Gemstone and then immediately leaves. If this member is Sky, then she would know exactly what it is and what it is capable of, and possibly also know who Caitlyn is. That would explain why this member captured Cait immediately unlike the other member of the firelights who was about to kill Vi before being stopped by their leader.

Anyway that is my theory. Makes me wonder if Sky will side with Viktor, seeing as how she is from Zaun and is willing to fight to protect it. It also makes me wonder if this gemstone will make its way to Ekko or if she will return it to Viktor and Jayce.

Super excited for Act 3 to see if this is right or not and how it plays out. What do you guys think of the theory?

When Firelight Ekko comes out, his model and splash in TFT should be switched to that

It just makes sense, it better fits the "scrap " theme too, and it just looks nicer overall. Plus would probably make people want to buy the skin in league more. Would be really nice to see alongside the release of Silco

Petition to give Firelight Ekko his mask as a toggle.

Well the title is pretty self explanatory. It would be the coolest thing to do with this skin, Ekko is only seen under his mask for a good part of the series, including the credits : it's an important part of his character. And since the model is already there (in his recall) and champions like Kai'Sa, Pyke and Aatrox already have a toggle in their base skin, would it be that hard to make ? If you also think this is an addition worth looking into, upvote this message : maybe Riot can take a closer look at it.

Firelight ekko turning out disappointing…
  1. No mask, or mask toggle
  2. No custom SFX, still priced at 1350
  3. Underwhelming chromas (true damage 2.0)
  4. No actual fire lights in skin
  5. No home guards. This is a 975 rp skin being overpriced to try to squeeze the arcane hype

[Spoilers Ep7] The Symbolism of firelights

I noticed a repeated visual metaphor in the intro to Episode 7 and the Enemy music video. Both have a firelight crawling out of a person/mask.

In this case the firelight crawls out of Bolt's mask (the pink haired girl Jinx kills).

In the music video we see a rather random shot of a firelight crawling out of Powder's mouth.

It is then followed up by a quick cut of Jinx.

It almost seems like in both cases the firelight is climbing out of someone who is dead (Powder metaphorically so). This got me thinking maybe in the undercity the firelights have a more spiritual significance, with the firelight representing the person's soul leaving the body and the idea of lost loved ones still being near by. Perhaps that's why Ekko named his gang the Firelights, in remembrance of the people and community that was lost.

This would also make Jinx's attack on the bridge even more symbolically charged, as she transformed the firelights, a symbol of love and family, into a tool of destruction.

IΒ΄m disapointed with Ekko firelight skin

(Sry my eng) I mean, that look with the hood and mask its so cool, and riot gave us an ekko without the mask (at least by default) and without hood, the skin itΒ΄s going to cost 1350 RP but it doesnΒ΄t change his SFX, whatΒ΄s that? ALL epic skins 1350RP from 5 years ago change their SFX...man, arcane ekko has too much potential to be a legendary skin or a so good epic skin at least, but they gave us this, i tested the skin in PBE and idk, maybe itΒ΄s SFX fault but i felt like im playing with standar ekko...i donΒ΄t feel its a skin, only the hair looks so cool in the 3d model, ye, if u Zoom the camera he looks cool, but when you are playing...oh god i didnΒ΄t felt i was playing a skin, i rly hope this Pre-release will be improved

Firelight Ekko Update

From the pbe thread
"

Hey all, I wanted to say that we really appreciate the discussion around Firelight Ekko's lack of SFX. We completely agree that SFX are a standard and expected part of an Epic (1350) skin, and leaving them out was an unfortunate mistake on our part due to a miscommunication internally. While we do everything we can to avoid delaying content, we're going to hold off from shipping this skin for a few patches to work on adding new SFX. This also means the skin will come off of PBE for now.

We are also going to take advantage of the extra time to address some of the other feedback we’ve seen on PBE including a unique homeguard. Homeguard animations are a feature that we have included on a very limited set of Epic skins when we feel it meaningfully helps sell the fantasy in a way that we couldn't otherwise. I want to reinforce that this level of scope is not something we can add during a regular PBE cycle or to every Epic skin due to time constraints, but we're also in an unusual situation with Ekko. Given that the SFX addition will give us more time than a normal PBE cycle and because we agree with your feedback that adding this animation strongly contributes to Firelight Ekko's story and the celebration of Arcane, we will be including a hoverboard Homeguard animation to go live with the new SFX. Since many players have voiced they’d like to see Ekko with his mask on more, we’ll make sure to include it in the homeguard animation as well. We’ll also be taking a look at his VFX to make some small adjustments there.

I know many of you are waiting patiently for this skin, and hope the final results will be worth the extra wait. Thanks!"
