Riot Games Unveils New Pentakill Skins and Champion for League of Legends
Riot Games has finally revealed the new skins for League of Legends’ resident rock band, Pentakill. The developers have also unveiled the newest champion coming to the ranks of the shredding soldiers, with the addition of the Ruined King.
Viego has officially joined Pentakill as the group’s newest guitarist. Yorick, Kayle, Olaf, Mordekaiser, Sona, and Karthus haven’t been left behind either. Every original member of the band has been given a fresh new costume to rock while performing on stage and on Summoner’s Rift.
Their skins have been updated to look more sleek and modern, while still maintaining the classic dark, brooding look that Pentakill had all those years ago. Each member is rocking leather jackets and clothing, except for Mordekaiser, who’s clad in a beautifully designed new set of armor. The group is also sporting an elegant blue and gold colorway, except for Viego, who has chosen a different outfit.
The fallen king, Viego, takes the spotlight in an all-white suit while wielding his trusty greatsword that doubles as a guitar. His usual green glow has been replaced with the red glow of Pentakill, adding to his terrifying presence during a gank.
Each skin has new visual effects to match the theme, and their recall animations feature riffs from the music of Pentakill. Sona’s abilities trigger guitar riffs from her etwahl, making her audio effects especially fun. When she uses her ultimate, she plays a chord that causes enemies to dance uncontrollably while her team sends them back to the gray screen.
Pentakill’s new album, Lost Chapter, is set to release next month on September 8th. Fans can expect a collection of tracks, including up to 10 new original songs. The stage is set, and fans are ready to headbang their way to a higher Elo soon.
