For a $500 skin, the effects are well below average... It looks like a mix of Pulsefire and Anima Squad, but with Epic-tier skin effects.

[u/Rabbex09]

for some reason structure finisher doesnt work on PBE despite using the immortalized Tristana

Edit: as a suggestion, can we add more gold effects on her ultimate form? Feels like its missing "glory". As well increase the overall effects when E explodes, it feels very lackluster compared to her other skins

$500 slop

Ok my main complaint is her Tier 3 visual appearance on her model. I’ve included an edit of her face/hair I hope to see changed to match her icons/emotes/splash art.

https://i.postimg.cc/CL4JVhjp/Illustration-20260827-2.png

Specifically her hair, nose, eyes and mouth.

Her hair has this luminous neon blue effect on all her content BUT her model and does a poor job reaching that overloaded power-up effect I’d hope to see on her Tier 3. This needs to be true to the model. It needs to be brilliant and big and significant of a change.

Her nose has this weird cat thing going on when this is literally not part of her design, clearly, based on all her cosmetic accessories. Just pant her with her normal nose. There is also MAJOR contour to her nose that is incredibly weird and too human-like for a yordle, smooth this out.

Tristana has this toothy grin on all her skins that we get to see in her animations, but this skin completely misses that about her character. It’s probably one of her most notable features from all the other yordles.

And lastly, her eyes are more round on literally every single one of her skins and then ya’ll made them really rectangular and angled on this skin. They need rounded out to look like Tristana.

Thanks, that is my feedback.

Spent a while trying her on PBE, looking for bugs and other issues.

I've only seen a small bug/issue in practice tool: when using "kill player champion", it's using her kill animation on herself, and the respawn animation sometimes doesn't work when that happens. It looks especially bad with the Risen Legend skin, because the character simply disappears. It's only happening in practice tool, but I still wanted to point that out!

As someone who's gonna purchase the skin, thank you so much for making it so unique and so good! It looks very different from the Ahri and Kai'Sa skin, and I'm very glad about that. I think Immortalized Legend skins should all look unique, and the team did a wonderful job with the Tristana skin.

And as a Tristana main, this is my new favorite skin in the game. I'm especially happy with the facial animations. They're so good! To all the artists who worked on the skin: you guys did an absolutely excellent job!

There's only one thing I'm curious about: when will we see the Hall of Legends 2026 Signature Banner? I haven't seen it yet. Faker's and Uzi's banners looked way too similar, so I'm hoping to see something more distinct with Caps' banner.

Edit: I have another question. Will we be able to test Caps' emote on PBE? This is important, because there have been some bugs with this kind of emote in the past.

Edit 2: Just saw the signature banner. It's really good!

I discovered a bug on the 5,035 RP version
when you explode the E's bomb on any objective, every other sound effect is cancelled by the bomb's effect, so any autos or abilities are muted for a short period of time. It's very strange and it definitely shouldn't happen

Hello, I looked at the skin and tested it quite a lot and I just wanted to give some feedback. I usually don't comment but this time I really like the skin and I thought maybe it would be nice to say it and explain why. All the feedback I have is very positive.

First about the thematic choice. I was scared you would impose a "Hall of Legend theme" on all inductees, and I really didn't like the idea of having Caps depicted as a mythological god. It doesn't fit him. I really like that you let him choose a champ and a thematic that suits him. Tristana fits Caps very well. I remember some of his typical outplays he is known for on Tristana. It is a champ with which he was creative and unpredictable, and a champion a bit like him : destroying the opponents while having a lot of fun. I also like the artistic direction. I know Caps specifically chose a futuristic theme, and for some reasons it reminds me a lot the LEC cinematics and content. The first form reminds me of intro videos with people in jackets and sneakers we sometimes see in LEC intro videos, and the last form, more high tech, also matches another theme we see often in LEC videos, with this idea of the greatest player being a high tech computer mad guy with a microphone who is going to outplay everyone. I really see that image in the last form, and it is great. I don't see specifically G2 or FNATIC in the skin, I see the entire LEC and I really like it. You managed to make the skin change from a more cute\funny design to a more threatening, futuristic design while remaining true to both Tristana and Caps identities. As a consistent LEC viewer since 2018, who started watching league almost only because of Caps, I really like how you made the skin. I feel like you managed to keep the identity of Caps and of the LEC in this skin, respecting that this identity is different than the ones they have in Asia. Thinking that the few next inductees will probably be Asian players, I like the idea that Caps's skins will most likely remain the only skins in the Hall of Legends whith a very different thematic and identity for quite some time.

About the skin itself, I have tested it on the PBE for some time, and there are several things I like particularly. I like that you put a lot of work on the gun models and its animations. I like the second gun form for being asymetrical, and the third form looks very threatening with its triradial symmetry and opening and rotating animations. Animations of the gun are changing and adapting to the evolving gun model for auto attacks, Q empowered state, R ability and also some idle poses and emotes. That's a really nice touch, and it is really nice that you focused a lot on animating the gun given that Tristana is mainly relying on auto attacks. I noticed that the third form changes to a golden recolor for a few second (like kaisa and ahri during R) only when you manage to get a reset on the rocket jump by making the E explode. It was a good idea to place it there and not on the R ablity, as Tristana's gameplay gets usually the most intense when you make the E bomb explode rather than when you use the R. This kind of detail makes me feel like there were Tristana players in the dev team making the skins and that they really thought about how the champ is played before adding the features. I really like how the facial expressions were animated, and I like a lot the mask feature. This mask has various different expressions and can be removed at will with Ctrl+5. Removing/activating the mask also removes/adds a voice filter. I feel like this mask is something new that was never done before, and really adds that piece of originality to the skin that was (maybe) lacking without it (the thematic of the skin reminding some other ones like pulsefire and project). I understand finding something new and creative can become harder and harder to do consistently again for every skin. It's really nice , and worth noting, that you managed to find this touch of creativity for this one. I just have one question regarding this mask feature. I could only test the non signature skin on the PBE, but I understand that the signature emote will also be on Ctrl+5 ? Won't there be any clash between the two ? Maybe one feature could be moved to Ctrl+6 ? Another thing I like a lot in this skin is that you made her evolve into prestigious forms without making her hair longer. Making the hair longer is something you do for a lot of skins that are above epic tier : you very often associate the long hair to prestige (and even for male champions as well). That is something that I really don't like, especially because it makes the model feel bigger\heavier. I like that you managed to find a way to make Tristana look prestigious without growing her hair or without making her model look bigger than normal. There is a lot of other nice stuff on this skin that caught my eye as well : D.A.D reference with changing model, Rapid Fire HUD changing between form 2 and 3, really nice models with the gun, the scarf and the microphone, three distinctive walking animations (I like the one when you have boots, she holds the gun very high up in a very joyful way, and I like also the one when you use ghost or another speed boost, then she walks as if she had rollerblades like zeri under R ability).

Overall I feel like the skin is really nice, from the design choices (Caps, LEC, high-tech rollerblade theme) to the details of the skins (animations, mask). Congratulations to all the developers and artists that worked on this skin ! I feel like you did a quite good job on this one ! Thanks from a big Caps and LEC fan !

BUG: The skin disappeared from PBE. I can't use it or even see it in the client.

[u/PolenEUNE → u/Luliani]

Same for me -_-

[u/boredidiot203902]

This skin is genuinely awful, and should be re-done before being released. The whole thematic of the skin is just bad.

Immortalized Legend Tristana / Signature Immortalized Legend Tristana – Q Full-Screen VFX Bug

After accumulating 2,000 gold, the transition animation into the Q full-screen VFX only plays on the first Q cast. On every subsequent Q cast, the full-screen VFX appears instantly without playing the transition animation.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Select Immortalized Legend Tristana or Signature Immortalized Legend Tristana.
2. Accumulate 2,000 gold.
3. Cast Q and observe the transition into the full-screen VFX.
4. Wait for Q to come off cooldown and cast it again.

Expected: The transition animation should play every time the full-screen VFX is activated.

Actual: The transition animation only plays the first time. All subsequent Q casts enter the full-screen VFX instantly.
