i like it now in his classic skin his abilities really emphasize his appearance to be from shadow isle rather than a watery lookin' horse.

Was: Smoking Blue Fire Now: Spooky Mist

Finally his ult is nice and visible and not transparent.

Truthfully a night an day difference, usually small effect changes are just alittle cleanup but these feels like a huge change.

That looks really, really damn clean.

Would like to see more clarity on his charged up E on most of his skins. It doesn't seem to change at all and its hard to notice when playing against him.

ooh, so THIS is why they removed the physics of Ahri's tail

I can’t believe they deleted the lancer zero's phantom and arcade's rainbow of E skills

This is so much better, hope they do this for more champs in the future!

lmao i was like damn the new effects look sick af then i realised i was looking at Old

they should make the blood knight one have red fx

I would have liked to see a more "bluish" effect for the Reaper skin on most of those abilities.

5:59 E of Lancer Zero honestly feels like a downgrade to me

Pls give lance zero E the aftershadows back

My boy is looks so nice now! The q clarity is fantastic! I can actually see the area instead of having to guess. The ults look very clean. Thank you Rito for giving him so love

Not bad, but honestly for Lancer Zero Hecarim I liked the old E better

It feels like the e animation was downgraded on some and arcade hecarims w heart is less.. arcadey

wow this is REALLY well done!

I really hope that someday in the future we will see a visual update on Vladimir too

can wait for the day I'll see Orianna's VFX

Yeah Elderwood needs it's Q reverted honestly, the hazy smoke was such a badass touch.

I like it, although I have to say I will miss the pixels on his arcade skin. I feel like the pixels definitely added a more arcadish look

I didn't know we needed this.

Ive never realized how the "feared" icon gets pixelated on the arcade skin as well lmao

Now his w feels more powerfull

My boy needed that

The hoof prints and ult animations are so nice

hmmm he did loose some details on his Q leaving a little smoke clouds and his E and R are clearer but toned down, other than that is a really good update

Recently I was playing Hecarim and having fun, but had a thought "Darn, these animations are really rusty, I hope they will update them"... Thanks Riot and thanks SkinSpotlight for posting this video ! New animations are 10/10, although I believe they can make progression on E a bit more clear

just looked up, i have actual the last 3 skins for heca.. i didnt know, but nice :D

except Arcade skin, the rest while using E dont change much when he speeds up compare to the older versions, at least the older ones has a small flash each time

Played this game for 7 Years and i NEVER noticed the Fear Circle Graphic when he ults. I knew it existed, how big it was and where it landed every time he ulted, but i never noticed there was an effect for it. Also i like how you can actually see the thicks of damage on His W with the base skin

A lulu, janna and vlad model update would be much appreciated

I remember a while after I started playing and got the fragment for his arcade skin and was like "woooow, this is amazing!" So I got him and realized I am not a jungler and that I hate it, now I'm gonna make him work in the toplane, this is just too good to miss

Very good work here. Some other champs need something similar, without a big vgu attached to it.

Holy.... This looks soooo good!

I would love a base splash update aswell!

Oh thank goodness. I had no idea what the w did for the longest time.

Like the old auto effects more, felt like quick metal flickering. Also Q on some skins. Well... at least skills and autos are now well visible and easily distinguishable.

Well i didn't notice that the new one is on the top

A lot of the non ult animations on the older skins seem to look worse like just muted base colors rather then the more vibrant effects i.e. reaper Heciram, also kinda wish they took this opportunity like they did with other vfx and gave a lil extra like blood knight Heciram maybe reddish looking spectral horses on ult or something rather then just the base skin effects.

wow the only decent thing on worldbreaker hecarim was his ult and even that is gone now

Just today I was with my dawnbringer soraka skin next to our Hecarim and I was like: man this looks like a whole other game. So glad he gets an update!

Great changes! Keep them coming

Unexpected, yet a welcome surprise! Now we need a vladimir model rework haha

Truely i like the old R of worldbreaker hecarim, the new R almost like classic hecarim

the greenish colour is great and fits far better now, i also like the footsteps and the clearer ult and W. but his E and his tail look not as good as the previous. miss the steam from his tail and the steam during Q and E.

I love how his weapon light up when Q 2 times.

Aaaaaah I could pay for more visual update, this is so clean!

Finally, the q and w are clearer. Sometimes I can't be sure if the q hit me or not.

I like the smoke effects in the base hecarim it looks like ghost than the green effects

Yea, I like the old arcade hec better, the ult on the old one looks waaay nicer than the new bright one

i feel like there isnt enough visual indicators when his E is ramping up (on the base skin particles), but other than that pretty nice

¡Feliz jueves!

I can finally see his w.

They need to make the visual effects more vibrant on the Elderwood skin, looks a bit dull comparitively.

i love how his w was like a not so perfect circle

IF ONLY I COULD PLAY! League client said NOPE Ugh

Todas las mejoras son buenas y se agradece mucho, ya que muchas de las habilidades son muy transparentes y no se alcanzaba apreciar verdaderamente como era la habilidad, ahora están decentes... Pero hay cosas que me gustaría que cambiaran. -La Skin Arcade Hecarim se ve muy bien, pero la gente tiene razón que uno de los visuales más llamativos de esa skin es la "E" y que en la actualización apenas y se alcanza a ver ese efecto de "Arcoíris". Si bien ese efecto de Arcoíris se ve viejo porque se ve pixelado lo pueden renovar utilizando los efectos que van dejando los clones de la "R" 2:46. O sea que en la "E" le pongan una barra de cada color tal cual la "R" son 5 colores para las 5 barras de luz que va dejando para hacer el arcoíris (Azul, Verde, Naranja, Amarillo y Rosa). por cierto son 5 caballos pero solo hay 4 colores hay dos caballos Naranjas y uno debería ser Amarillo pero solo en cierto parte se ve amarillo y obviamente en el juego ni se vera si lo dejan como esta jaja. Yo pienso que lo quitaron para que se vea más el efecto en forma de flechas que va dejando en el suelo, pero bien pudieron dejar las dos cosas. Por cierto esta Skin debería tener Chromas como las de Blitzcrack y Corki. -La Skin de Elderwood esta bien a mi parecer, no le cambian mucho pero bueno supongo que con un Rework de modelado ahí si tendría un mejor cambio. Lo que si es que a esta skin le falto que le sacaran su Chroma color negra en el evento que apenas paso con Ornn. -La Skin Lancer Zero sin duda quedo mejor. La gente dice que ere mejor que le dejaran ese efecto como de "Fantasma" en la "E" 6:02 (que a mi no me disgusta que la quitaran), pero también se que si era característico de la skin (como la arcade con el arcoíris) y la hacia diferente de todas las otras Skins. A mi me gusto que la "E" tenga ese efecto nuevo de "Cono" que deja su lanza, pero al igual que en el arcadia pudieron dejar los dos efectos en la "E" (El efecto de "Fantasma" y el de "Cono" que va dejando su lanza). También a esta skin le podrían hacer que en el juego se pueda cambiar de "Chroma" a su versión negro con efectos naranjas, como en la Skin de Blitzcrack Lancer Paragon y Rouge, sería como MF Gun Goddess o DJ Sona. Y la verdad es que sería justo ya que esa Skin "Mítica" solo se consigue por gemas y su calidad apenas y es la de una skin "Épica". -Las Skins de Blood Knigth Hecarim si bien es de coste bajo y no se ve mal con los efectos de la skin base siento que otro tipo de color se le vería mejor, ya sea el azul como antes u otro color de su aspecto físico. -La Skin de Reaper Hecarim no deben reciclar los colores de la skin base ya que claramente se ve de otro color y desencaja que si físico sea azul y sus habilidades sean verdes, en el video se ve clara la diferencia, si es del mismo azul mejor y también se le ve como una colita en la cabeza y se le ve feo. De igual manera supongo que al ser esto solo una mejora y no un REWORK pues cuando le llegue su Rework entonces si se le podrá sacar todo el potencial a la temática de todas sus Skins.

CLEAN

This looks really cool

Now that is VFX consistency on his classic skin. His abilities reflect his power being from shadow lands, a green looking dark magic.

Damn this one has been done with love

1:08 Old: Hecarim R New: Onslaught of Shadows

Omg you can actually see his w now!

Lancer zero heca's E should just add the new effects on top of the old one, it looks so good

I just rolled the Elderwood skin and watched the old spotlight. I kept on thinking that all of the effects were kind of dull. That they could use more vibrant colors and some more "foresty" type bits to them. This is a definite improvement.

i kinda wished they would have left the darkish smoke when he charges but overal a good change

This just made me realize how much I love the elderwood skin line

1:46 Always, I wanna be with you And make believe with you And live in harmony, harmony oh love If you know, you know

I preferred the dark hue and smokiness of old hecarim if they have just made that look smoother... Also a completely missed opportunity to give blood knight hecarim some dark red shade on effects

He got his body sfx changed too, nice.

I prefer the old glow particle effect tbh but the abilities u can tell with more clarity at least

reaper hecarims ult has the weapon of the regular skin and it doesnt look right

Can't wait for Leona vfx update

downsides are when he is on his e there is no smoke coming out of his foot and when his r shadow bretherin disappears they broke down into smokes of mist and now they don't, they should add more mist smoke on his r and e.

I have hecarim i might main him because of the vsfx

So much smoother and cleaner

Beatiful 😍😍😍

Wow you can see the abilities now

I'm just happy

That arcade ult looks SICK

Lancer Zero looks a hell of a lot like the Blitzcrank paragon and renegade skin lineup.

I have never played Hecarim but I really love these visual effects. Glad to see him getting some love from the Riot team.

Looks much,much better

The red particles in Headless Hecarim looks weird to me

Yoooo, have a good day everyone.

I just ASUMED that heca was already green bc of shadow islands then seeing that the blue one was the old one really surprised me

The new ult is so 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

hell yeah

W looks harder to tell the zone of, but man, his ult looks so much better. Classic skin seems to have benefitted from the SI being solidified as ghostly white. Such stark improvement to stuff like Elderwood's ult, where it now looks like horseys and not /something/, and Lancer's E, hmmm.

kept thinking about this since few years then cause Hecarim still has decent mechanics while his skill effects are stuck at S3

This video reminded me Blood Knight Hecarim was a thing

Might be random but I would be happy if they did a seven deadly skins related skinline (not the anime) Lust can be for evelynn. Gluttony can be for tahm kench. And that's all I can think of.. Idk for the other sins. Wrath can fit maokai tho since he's so angry about being brought back to life.

pretty satisfying

ARCADE REVIVE

was hoping they would change lancer zero attack animation to thrust attacks instead of swings

When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought Hecarim had a skin where he on a motorcycle instead. Now I want this to be a thing.

Hope they do this to some other champs, Orianna maybe

thank god
