The Crystalis Indomitus is a Prestige skin line that was introduced to League of Legends Season 14 in Patch 14.6. This skin line sees once ordinary LoL champions succumbing to corruption from the crystals. Crystalis Indomitus Nautilus will be released in LoL Patch 14.18 (dropping Sept. 11) in the Mythic Shop, and will be the final champion in this skin line for Season 14. To get this skin in-game, fans must spend 100 Mythic Essence.

After the PBE preview was released, LoL fans saw firsthand how the skin looked in-game and weren’t happy. Many expressed their disappointment in the skin in an Aug. 27 Reddit thread, and one user said it’s a “good example of a ‘filler’ skin.” It isn’t the first time we’ve seen LoL fans use that wording, as many are begging Riot to stop producing “filler skins” like this one.

On top of this, players complained that the new Nautilus skin looks too similar to previous skins. “The ‘Nautilus’ one just looks like a purple conqueror,” another user said. At first glance, the skin does look similar in design to Conqueror Nautilus, but it’s a different color.

Regarding Prestige skins in League of Legends, players have high expectations when it comes to spending their hard-earned Mythic Essence. “I know people wanted more Nautillus skins, but we still have standards, Riot,” another commenter replied.

Crystalis Indomitus Nautilus will be available in the Mythic Shop from Patch 14.18. If you want more of the currency, check out our guide to learn how to earn Mythic Essence in LoL.
