We’re bouncing out four new champion base chroma packs and one champion skin chroma pack, all designed with a specific theme in mind.

This round of chroma packs includes Morgana Haunt, Darius Forge, Caitlyn Rebel , Zac Sweet, and Rocket Girl Tristana Punk for 590 RP each. Let us know what you think of this champ and skin selection and who you think we should deck out in colors next! Got questions? Check out the Chroma Pack FAQ here.

KateyKhaos commented on the Zac's Chroma: " TO CLARIFY: The Zac Sweet Chroma pack includes Bubblegum (pink) Honey (yellow) and Orange (...orange). It does NOT include 'black Zac'." For reference, this is the black Zac chroma that will soon be removed. Over on Twitter,Chroma: "

Zac chroma isn't actually a thing, LoveStrut commented: As for why the blackchroma isn't actually a thing, "As for black Zac, however, this was a placeholder texture from a long time ago that accidentally got out here. Unfortunately, we couldn't move forward with this color because dark colors (especially, just plain black) lead to gameplay readability problems such as not being able to immediately read Zac as he's coming out of the fog-of-war and not being able to provide effective shading on dark colors to aid readability and clarity."
