League of Legends provided the first official look at the brand new Ashen Knight Sylas skin on September 7, 2022, which is set for release along with patch 12.18. This is the third addition to this skinline after Ashen Knight Pyke and Ashen Knight Pantheon.While Pyke's skin received an overwhelming response from fans, Pantheon ended up getting a lot of backlash. Thus, players expected that the next skin in the lineup would be good and meet the standards set forth by Pyke's skin. As it happens, Sylas's skin did not fare well and ended up receiving even more criticism.One such fan commented the following on Twitter:kav@kaizersigmaThe Ashen Knights started off really strong with a godly Pyke skin and then went down the gutters with a bare chested, open helmet, purple chroma Pantheon skin. And now no armor Sylas? Come on now, @LeagueOfLegends. Do you not read any feedbacks?132The Ashen Knights started off really strong with a godly Pyke skin and then went down the gutters with a bare chested, open helmet, purple chroma Pantheon skin. And now no armor Sylas? Come on now, @LeagueOfLegends. Do you not read any feedbacks? https://t.co/yfqUmFVk4cBased on the community's negative reception, it is quite clear that fans are not happy and it seems like the developers are consistently failing to read through the feedback. It seems as if Pyke's skin was the odd one as the expectations have gone downhill since Sylas' skin was revealed.League of Legends fans feel Ashen Knight Sylas skin does not match well with the themeThe key idea behind the Ashen Knight skinline is to represent corrupted warriors from a ruined kingdom that was once led by a very prosperous king. Therefore, League of Legends fans feel that it should have the vibe of fallen knights.HYPERMENTAL69 🍦@IllanaNorthstarAshen Knight skinline has so much potential, but with the addition of Ashen Knight Sylas, I have lost all hope for Riot to choose a champion who actually fits the skinline. It could’ve been Aatrox, Mordekaiser, hell even Darius, but they chose a guy with a whip and no armor.4Ashen Knight skinline has so much potential, but with the addition of Ashen Knight Sylas, I have lost all hope for Riot to choose a champion who actually fits the skinline.

Fans are tired of the whole skin design where Riot Games simply draws shirtless men and gives them a purple color.Fans felt that when Pyke's skin had a very special vibe to it when it was released. Unfortunately, this new Sylas version simply looks like a purple chroma of some very ordinary skin.In short, League of Legends fans feel that Riot Games is not putting much effort into these Ashen Knight skins, which has angered a major portion of the fanbase. Hence, the expectations that were set forth by the Pyke's skin have gone down with the release of Sylas' skin.Yoerdius@YoerdiusThe Ashen "Slayer" (we all know it's really Knight) Sylas skin spotlight already has more dislikes than likes and really shows that the players want actual Knight skins. Riot really made an amazing Pyke skin and then made two shirtless men and called it a day.14610The Ashen "Slayer" (we all know it's really Knight) Sylas skin spotlight already has more dislikes than likes and really shows that the players want actual Knight skins.

And its so disappointing. Sylas just doesn't fit in a "knight" skinline, and they decided to not armor pantheon either. Also the helmets are ugly... -_-1039Ashen Knight Pantheon and Sylas singlehandedly just ruined any expectations I had for the skinline. And its so disappointing.

If the majority of the fanbase feels that the skins are not up to par, Riot Games will have to take some steps and make a few positive changes. BiomeBreaker@BiomeBreaker@SkinSpotlights Sorry, but Nothing about this screams ashen KNIGHT to me... This feels more like a what Ruination Sylas would have looked like with deeper tones of blue...3@SkinSpotlights Sorry, but Nothing about this screams ashen KNIGHT to me...

Yes sylas is normally shirtless, BUT people of they are getting a skin want something that's unique and this is another armor less ashen KNIGHT skin. That's the issue here.12@hung2563hn @Tired_Tobias @LoLUKN Ignores the theme of the skin line tho. Yes sylas is normally shirtless, BUT people of they are getting a skin want something that's unique and this is another armor less ashen KNIGHT skin. That's the issue here.This is because the Ashen Knight skins cost a lot as they can only be obtained through Mythic Essence. However, obtaining the resource is a tedious process as the only way to do get a huge chunk of it is through event passes.Therefore, if fans do not like the skins, they will simply stop purchasing them, which will lead to a bad state of affairs for both sides. It will be unfair for fans to expect that Riot Games will rework the Ashen Knight Sylas skin.Fans feedback will hopefully ensure that the future Ashen Knight skins are more to the liking of the fans and are better both in terms of design as well as thematic relevance.
