Posted on at 12:12 PM by Moobeat
 Previews of the new Dryad Soraka, Normal Soraka, and Divine Soraka.
Seeing as how she is getting a visual update in the upcoming patch, Riot has put up a Champion Spotlight for Soraka. the Starchild! Take a gander below to see her new model, animations, and spell effects in action. In the event you aren't very familiar with Soraka but want to get caught up to speed so you can enjoy her remodel, the video will help you out with helpful item builds, rune/mastery set ups, and general game play tips.
Continue reading for a better look at the updated splash arts and a change to Red / Blue buff that's visible during the spotlight.

Default Skin

Dryad Soraka

Divine Soraka

Also, this champion spotlight shows some new particles for Blue and Red buff. 
As these were not in the most recent PBE update, I'm unsure if these will make it to live or not..If you remember, we saw a new particles for Baron Buff in the Zyra champion spotlight but they never made it to live.

    I guess they were wrong.

    2. Yerp. Stuff like that creeps in from time to time. Zyra's spotlight had a new baron buff and the PBE has had several iterations of new red/blue/baron buffs in the files.

    3. Diana has red @2:55, and Lee has a (wtf) double blue @5:11

    4. wow do they really need a two year turnaround to make ANY good looking skins for her?

      Delete
    5. yep, that skin makes her look like a draenei but the color or the clothes is totally Aldor (draenei faction in Shattrath).

    6. ^ nerd. Even for a LoL leaks blog site, that is nerdy.

    7. the skin looks like something a fan would make,
      a talented fan, but i think riot is a little wary of copyright sues.
      take the super teemo skin for instance, it is a tribute to superman but not a copy of the suit, here, the similarities are to much for a tribute

    1. It's hard to say for now, but from what little I've played of him on the PBE, he seemed really buggy.
