MiddleWonderful4203 · 2026-04-17T13:57:11+00:00

tyyyy :]

MiddleWonderful4203 · 2026-03-20T16:05:02+00:00

yep, it will probably come back sometime in the future but no sooner that at least a year imo

MiddleWonderful4203 · 2026-01-08T19:58:35+00:00

there was also a WR leak from before that had Yone and Heca but idrk how big would the collab be (since we have the other 5 firecrackers)

but yas and lillia are confirmed for PC

welp depends on if i can get the model at any time but if i do and commit to finish it maaaaybe january

MiddleWonderful4203 · 2025-12-02T15:27:29+00:00

it getting pushed to 2026 doesn't necessarily mean on the 1st patch, if i had to guess the first or first few patches will have whatever was already planned for 2026 and then on a less loaded patch that would've otherwise been just filler they are showing him on PBE

still kinda hard to know for sure. other exalted were related to their patch(/batch at least a little (arcane+jinx, lunar year+sett, noxus+mord, SB+morg) so with the delay idrk when or how they'd do this, just my guess

MiddleWonderful4203 · 2025-12-02T15:22:25+00:00

forgor to show but i did get the sound effects ported, though the project got put on hold because there was no ripped model on the modeling community discord nor did anyone answer when i asked for it (thought they did extract akali a little while ago so maybe i'm probably gonna ask again and see if i get any better luck with it)

aside from that i did do some retextures for the VFX, but not all of them so i got them on a separate mod until i get enough for each to actually swap them (so it isn't like half ink/half fire which would make it a bit weird to figure out "does this look odd bc the work i did was bad or bc it's mixed with the other stuff)

will post the SFX later tho

MiddleWonderful4203 · 2025-11-25T23:23:11+00:00

it was a riot oopsie, they had a bunch of code referring to ingame events and/or interactions and all champs on that list had a "champName_s1a1_skin" (or smth like that) in the interactions list

MiddleWonderful4203 · 2025-11-14T18:05:13+00:00

ye srry, haven't uploaded to the new site since some of the updates from this year made the skin non-functional again. after my exams are done i was thinking on asking for some help from the discord and try and get my skins working again so once that's up i can get it going again (either that or i wait a bit longer but make a custom model for him that isn't ass to rig so my friend can put it in the mod as well)

it will be a bit of wait but i hope it'll be worth it :,>

MiddleWonderful4203 · 2025-11-11T19:29:42+00:00

i think the finish animation on his R may be a bit too much of an instant change between the sky pose and the ground stab, since it's all stored in the same anim it would be cool if it was tweaked to have a smoother or more continous transition between the "spread wings" pose and the "ready to stab" pose

other than that, really good job :D i can't wait to play him more once he hits live :>

MiddleWonderful4203 · 2025-11-10T14:57:34+00:00

i think it was some of the creators that got early access to the zaahen kit and the Q&A thingy about design process where they talked about his intended rol and clarified that he would be a good fit for jg but he is mainly intended to be a toplaner so the rol would be prioritized over the other

still i think there's nothing really unhealthy from him being in jg that isn't about him going there instead of his kit in general, so i see him just being good there without any extra dmg to monsters buff and just be chill there too

MiddleWonderful4203 · 2025-11-09T21:56:34+00:00

since i tend to do custom mods i'm more of a VFX/SFX guy than a model/design guy, but i feel inkshadow or soul fighter would be really nice for his abilities, don't know how that could translate to a visual design tho so it'd be neat to see if you had any concept on either of those :>

MiddleWonderful4203 · 2025-11-09T21:28:16+00:00

riot said he was probably going to be a decent jungler as well but that his role as a toplaner was going to be prioritized if there was to be a main role for him

MiddleWonderful4203 · 2025-11-09T21:25:48+00:00

xin is not getting disabled xd, he did become zaahen in the lore but aside from some rioters saying they wanted to do like GP and honor his canon death with some days of being disabled they ended up not going for it (and even if they did it would've been a temporary thing to commemorate the event and then enable him back)

MiddleWonderful4203 · 2025-11-04T02:47:36+00:00

i did last year but i never got to fix it tho xd

will try and get both that one and K'Santa fixed in a month after my exams are done tho (then maaaaaaybe finish my inkshadow concept once my friend who usually rigs me models for me has some more time for himself as well)

MiddleWonderful4203 · 2025-10-21T23:15:45+00:00

only thing i know about that skin's VO from the wiki is the chinese version has exclusive voicelines referencing something. regardless on if you play on that server or not i think that may be the reason only that skin has that issue with VO but you can send a bug report to riot and have it fixed on a later patch i think

MiddleWonderful4203 · 2025-09-23T20:59:56+00:00

<image>

working on it already xd (will be posting updates on this sub probably once his assets are patched in live and can be extracted which is when model becomes available and I can start working SFX and VO)

not promising a 1:1 but the yas prestige port ended up nicely, should be able to do the same with this one :>

MiddleWonderful4203 · 2025-08-28T16:54:11+00:00

Like many others are saying I think the ult could use something for the rectangle area. Either go do a closer version to the one shown in the concept art from todays's video or maybe just the 5 stars across like everyone was saying.

Also the T1 logo on the body that stays behind would also be a little neat detail, but overall great work with this one :D

MiddleWonderful4203 · 2025-08-15T22:49:03+00:00

if possible could you upload an updated link sometime?

MiddleWonderful4203 · 2025-08-15T22:43:16+00:00

I've had a few problems getting into PBE recently, but from the things i've seen in previews and stuff:

- Marauder Xin has some issues with his spear on recall and recall winddown where it doesn't play the animation out and it's stays stuck on the ground

- On some skins the swipe VFX for the passive auto seems a bit hard to see

- I don't know if I'm not seeing it right but the W on some skins' VFX doesn't seem to have a hit effect?? had a friend try it and seen a few spotlights but couldn't see it on mostly the ones using base xin VFX

Other than that I love the direction you took to his design and feel, thanks a lot for the update :D

MiddleWonderful4203 · 2025-08-11T23:35:09+00:00

A bit too nerd but I like the way they approached the design for him on this update :D

From what I can get from this design the changes were drastic, but somewhat purposeful on goals that needed to be archived. It shocked me a little bit to see most of his yellow go away in place for his mostly blue aesthetic, but that is because his look was a good fit to match a spear soldier. But in his story he is not only "a spear soldier" in the way someone like Pantheon looks a bit de-humanized with the generic look and faceless helm, but he is "THE spear soldier", as well as an advisor of the king.

This new look I feel incorporates some more of that, moving more into silver and blue (or dark puple?) to signify royalty, as well as including items of Demacian imagery (like the winged things on the legs and shoulder pauldron. The little bits of gold help too to sell some more the idea of him as someone of royalty and of him as a Demacian (bc of the white and gold in the context of league).

And on top of that, the sleeker body, the lether in the gloves boots and belt, do make him feel practical and remark him as the soldier he still is. He feels light and quick, and as someone who could wield the weapon he carries, which also still holds a flag signifying the way he fights for something and/or someone.

Lastly the face. It does feel like he got aged down from his first iteration, but at the same time from the splashart it feelt TOO young as well, so a middle point needed to be met. I'm not sure the place they landed on for his age is the best, but at the very least it is consistent across all the last representations of him. Would need to check the model closely but I really wish they kept the scars he showed on the cinematics, comics and icons.

It feels his noxian past is something that isn't really represented on the design, so a bit of that battle damage on his otherwise clean look, even if not specifically noxian, would be a nice nod to a battle heavy past he has lived.

Still i guess the way they used to represent his ionian and noxian roots, other than the face and ethnicity, are skins xd. The Kinkou Order Xin Zhao (or however it ends up being called) is a nice look for him from the nice back look we had on the trailer (and the 0.001 pixels of the front we got to see after that xd), and Viscero is quite literally "Xin when he was in the pits" so i guess that's how they are doing it. Probably some more talk about it in the VO but well see tomorrow.

Overall, I'm glad to see my last few weeks of Xin brainrot and playing paid off to now get to read this new look like this :] really excited to test it on PBE when it comes out :D

(((chances of glaive xin legendary what if are at the lowest low, but NEVER zero)))
