11th Anniversary Celebration Events: Six Returning Items Confirmed, Xi Shi Turns the Tide, Voting Results Reveal Players' New Favorite: Limited Edition

Sun Ce's "Riding the Dragon, Tempering the Wu Hook" skin is nothing new and should be quite boring. Its high popularity and numerous calls for its return have propelled it past other skins in the rankings. Xi Shi's "Continuing Love" skin, while quite rare, suffers from limited design elements. New skins for her are rarely released, and given the current meta, collaborations, and niche appeal, how can it break into the mainstream? The 11th anniversary celebration is a golden opportunity, and loyal fans have worked hard to push Sun Ce down to fourth place. Buy early and enjoy!

The flaws of a beautifully designed skin often lie in its in-game effects. Too many gold particles cause light pollution, and too many small details can easily lead to aesthetic fatigue. It depends on how players weigh the pros and cons. The skin is nice, but its practicality is low. If you really love it, don't hesitate. If you don't usually play mid lane, just ignore it.

Fourth place: Sun Ce riding a dragon and tempering his Wu hook.

Of the six choices, two were for top lane, two for mid lane, and two for jungle, a surprisingly balanced result. The so-called "development lane" was sidelined. Sun Ce's victory in this vote was indeed due to his skin, not his popularity. After his strength was reduced, top players complained of his lack of power, and the sight of him crashing into others with his boat was less than ideal. Players with a bit of awareness could easily avoid it, except for lower-ranked players who nervously hid under their towers. While the hero's playability decreased, the Year of the Dragon limited edition skin is undoubtedly the undisputed top-tier skin. One weapon, three forms, and the ultimate skill evolves over time and speed, with the dragon flames becoming increasingly intense. The impact is incredibly satisfying, the combos are fluid, and the feedback is clear. For top players in the Chinese server, finding a skin with perfect feel and effects is crucial, and the fourth-place skin meets all the criteria, but unfortunately, it won't be available until the 2027 Spring Festival.

Fifth Place: Yunying Crane Returns to Pine Perch

Similarly, as the number of players increases, the demand for returning items like Yunying, a popular character, will surge. "Crane Returns to Pine Trees," with its ink-wash style, black and white main colors accented with red patterns, is full of traditional Chinese elements such as red silk, cranes, and pine trees. However, its lighting effects and visual appeal are relatively low, giving it a simple and elegant feel. While it doesn't obstruct vision, some have complained about its shallow skill effects. Finally, in sixth place is Lan's "Wish Illuminates the Nine Provinces," a popular jungler with top-tier impact. Although there are better options, players won't miss out on limited-time items, especially since it's designed for the Lunar New Year. All of these will be reserved for next year's return, except for "Tanji." Are you satisfied or surprised by this voting result?
