Arcade Riven is reminiscent of retro games loved by so many LoL players who were around back in the ’80s and ’90s. Everything from her outfit to those 8-bit video game noises smacks many of us with an overdose of nostalgia – and even if you weren’t around a couple of decades ago, you can still appreciate the masterpiece that is this skin.
She bears many similarities to the likes of Arcade Hecarim, Arcade Cailtyn and others – they are all a collage of colour, and full to the brim with retro references.
For instance; Arcade Riven's sword is a clear reference to the Ultra Sword from Kirby’s Return to Dream Land. Additionally, whenever she recalls the sword cycles through the versions of the sword used by her other skins (except Dawnbringer and her Default skin.)
Her outfit and armor are heavily inspired by old fashioned fighting games – from her fingerless gloves and bright green hair, right down to the large K.O that appears when she dies. Seriously, it’s so good that it just makes you want to feed – then again, if you’re a Riven main, you’ll get to see it more than enough already.
In her splash art, you’ll see her facing off against iBlitzcrank in a classic 1v1 duel. Just beneath that, there’s plenty of pixel images of all the other combatants, who just happen to be some of the other Arcade skins!
If you’re considering purchasing this skin, you can do so for 1350 RP! That might seem like a lot, but when you take into consideration all that it offers you, it’s an absolute bargain!
If you’re adamant that you don’t want to fork over the cash though, there’s an alternative;
You could pick up one of our smurfs, which will grant you access to many skins, sometimes at a lower price than what it would have cost you to get them all in game.
Legacy skins are still obtainable thanks to our high end account store which features League of Legends accounts with the rarest skins at the best prices.
