Riot announced that Gemstones – in-game currency used to unlock rare Hextech skins – will now become Mythic Essence. Prestige Points, used to buy Prestige skins, will disappear. And players will be able to obtain Mythic Essence in different ways, like from Masterwork Chests.
Ashen Knight is one of the first new mythic seasonal skin lines in LoL, with Ashen Knight Pyke being seen here:
