Legends of Runeterra introduces new skins, playing boards, card backs, bundles in patch 2.17.0

Legends of Runeterra has dropped a host of new cosmetic items ranging from skin to emote in its latest patch, patch 2.17.0.

Six champions, including newer ones like Caitlyn and Poppy, have got their Battle Academia skins. Aside from the cosmetics, a new playboard, card backs, and emotes have been introduced. Additionally, the two bundles are now available to all the Legends of Runeterra players.

Players liked the way the skins have shifted from League of Legends to Legends of Runeterra. Poppy's skin is exclusive to the latter, and given how viable she is in the meta, it is worth picking up.

The custom emotes are fresh, and the card backs have a tremendous hand-drawn element to them. There have been a lot of bug fixes, including the problem with prismatic cards.

Riot Games has also confirmed that PVE will be getting different modes very soon in future patches to align with the November roadmap.

1) Skins

Six champions - Leona, Lux, Katarina, Poppy, Caitlyn, and Ezreal - have got their respective Battle Academia skins. For the time being, the skins are available as bundles only, and it is to be seen if they will be available individually.

2) Play board

Legends of Runeterra patch 2.17.0 has introduced an all-new play board titled " Durandal Stadium." The board will look even more appealing to sports fans, especially football/soccer. It's a fresher take than the existing boards and is a great addition.
