Visual Upgrade: Soraka, the Starchild

Posted on at 1:39 PM by Moobeat
At long last, it's here! It's really here! Riot has just put up these stunning images of Soraka's long awaited visual upgrade! This isn't all though; her update also includes new animations, spell effects / particles, a new voice over, and updates two both of her currently available skins!
I must admit, Soraka is lookin' good! Click here for a before and after to see just how good.

So now that you've seen it, what do you think about the Starchild's new look? Hopefully we will see a Public Beta Environment update sometime very soon where we can give her a test drive for ourselves.

    1. She s more than cool, that new reart makes her even more hotter and i want to play with her even more. But morganas new skin is terrible imo, i loved the previous one.

    2. im a fan of the ingame art and the particles we can see here. but am i the only one that looked at the side by side and feel she looks a little less detailed? her original art looks like a tunic and jacket with color contrasts, the new art looks like a plain gold and yellow dress. way better body shape and proportions though

  13. Really disappointed. =(

    ReplyDelete
  14. Looks a considerable amount more fey and a lot less derp.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I do like her, but she seems deathly thin, like she'll snap.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I can't wait to see Divine Soraka since they changed her lore (Old lore had her cursed, changed to the form we see her now. New Lore mentions nothing about a curse, rather the stars abandoning her).

    1. Agreed! I hope she looks more ethereal and 'godly' then just 'I'm in a dress now, dresses are cool"

    ReplyDelete
  28. I came a little ;_;

    ReplyDelete
  29. When we waited for her for so long I was like "Omg, can't believe that visual update is still under work..."
    Now I am like "OMG, TOTALLY WORTH."

    ReplyDelete
  30. At last she doesn't look like blue worm!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I dunno.Seems kinda strange to me,Her hooves are too thin for her body.I wonder how she walks?
    I have to admit I'm a little dissapointed considering all that time waiting......
    I was expecting something way cooler and her spalsh art looks more anime than riot hot-stuff.
    hmmmmmmm......

    ReplyDelete
  32. The splash looks too anime but the model looks great

    ReplyDelete
  33. I just don't know. :s
    Call me boring, but she looks more like some anime teen now than the previous (however ugly it may have been) more mature look. Certainly not the thing I had in mind for a celestial being that's been around for centuries. xD
    The in-game skin doesn't give off the same vibe, so who knows.

  35. Those saying it looks too "anime", you may want to look at some first. This doesn't look anime to me and I've seen plenty. The definition of the lips and proportions don't look anime at all, and the eyes are fairly normal size with decent pupils instead of the more accentuated kind in anime. Yes, there are some more realistic anime that don't have those huge eyes, but the details overall don't follow those ideas either.

    If anything, this splash makes me think of a slightly more cartoony Magic the Gathering card

  36. Aw she looks so qt now. Finally I can play her again, her skin was a MESS IG.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Significantly better than before. Never been a Soraka fan but this visual upgrade was definitely needed. She looks just right for a blue woman/goat.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I might actually play her as support now. :D

    ReplyDelete
  39. pretty good. Don't like the feet, but like the rest. Love the splash. Hopefully her skins are finally worth investing in.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Splash looks makes her look like the soraka in the comics of her.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Those ears!! :O (reminds me of Night Elves)

    I may actually play her now as she won't hurt my eyes anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  42. she looks like a damn navii.. why riot.. ruining her whole character like that..

    her graphics also look incredibly out of place compared to the other champs.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Is it just me, or does she look like a female dranei with a horn from WoW?

    ReplyDelete
  44. do u mean she looks like crap?

    ReplyDelete
  45. love the model, disappointed by how young she looks in her new splash art. She looks like an anime teen (you know, with a horn and goat feet). Overall, really impressed. Can't wait to see everything about the update.

  46. Here is her new skin

  49. really not a fan of those legs. Even though they look better than her old visuals, they still look weird.
