Looking back at previous limited-time skin re-releases, do you still remember the skin obsession you had back then? (Part Two)

For Guan Yu, the Frozen God of War is an excellent option. It has a strong visual impact, splitting icebergs to clear a path. Judging from the production quality at the time, it was top-notch. Now, getting it to return is as difficult as climbing to heaven. On the other hand, no one mentions the Monkey King.

Fourth Anniversary

The fourth anniversary celebration was the most competitive yet. Since the skin rain hadn't arrived yet, good skins were hard to come by, and not every hero would be promoted by the planners and given an epic limited skin, let alone a legendary one. Many players worked together to fight against Sun Wukong. Because of the multiple returns, it aroused everyone's anger. They were fed up with the domineering of popular junglers and had to campaign to suppress them. Finally, it was announced that mage skins would return, namely Angela's Magical Little Chef and Zhuge Liang's Wuling Immortal, pushing Sun Wukong to third place.

Back then, social media was already prevalent. Players shared posts on Weibo, and streamers frantically campaigned for votes. The inclusion of the Five Sacred Beasts skins in the voting pool that year, along with their immense popularity, made players acutely aware of their significance. Their selection was, in a way, a form of reform.

Fifth Anniversary

In 2020, during the fifth anniversary celebration, the rules of the event were changed, indicating that the laws governing skin sales were beginning to transform. The top five skins with the most votes could return, the top two could be sold directly, and the bottom three could choose one. Perhaps the planners underestimated the production of skins and did not expect the high demand, so they made an exception and brought back the skins one after another. After saying goodbye to Angela's Little Chef and Zhuge Liang's Wuling Immortal, this year it was time to give the spotlight back to the Five Sacred Beasts skins. Monkey King is making a comeback. The Great Sage's Wedding skins came in first place, Baili Xuance's White Tiger skins came in second place, Baili Shouyue's Vermilion Bird skins came in third place, Zhuang Zhou's Cloud Dream Weaver skins came in fourth place, and Kai's Azure Dragon skins came in fifth place.

6th Anniversary

At that time, there was still no rule on the number of times the skins could return, nor was there a rule that the third to fifth place skins could not return to the voting pool the following year. Therefore, Azure Dragon and Vermilion Bird continued to rank in the top five. With the addition of the new hero, the fight against the Monkey King was successful. Ma Chao's Divine Might and Galo's Taihua were well-deserved. From then on, the skins made history again, allowing people to witness the charm of the new design. Even in Season 41, Taihua is still a milestone, a perfect benchmark. When a new skin is released, it will definitely be compared and its cost-effectiveness will be compared.
