they're not bland because they're based on asian thematics . They're bland because they keep sacrificing those themes to make the characters generically hot and attractive while putting wayy too much generic effects. When they actually stick to the themes we get top tier skin lines.
I think China's aesthetic taste tends to be bland and samey itself. It's gotta be beautiful and elegant and pale FIRST, and then everything else comes second. Example: Genshin Impact.
I wouldn't say that is necessarily true, it can be absolutely gorgeous if you put the effort in, but because of the overwhelming success of cultivating novels, most are known to be quite generic that makes the 'chinese thematic' to be rather bland
Like they could make a legendary tahm kench that is the fat buddha you're seeing in china town, but he is secretly evil and turns back to his true self while using r
@Elephanthobo you really just tried yo prove your point by saying genshin impact?
WHEN THE SKIN IS BASED ON HAN CULTURE ASTHETICS?😂
I'm sorry,i can't
@@owo4470 Genshin is a Chinese game, for the Chinese market. There's a reason why all the characters in that game are skinny and pale. Same with League's asian-inspired skinlines. They all follow East-Asian beauty standards, because that's who they're marketing to.
I forgot this was even a skin line lmao
It’s pretty basic tbh
Who didnt
@@alex_velociraptoras7651support mains didn’t xd, immortal journey nami, morgana and janna are their best skins (apart from morgs legendary)
I forgot between the time of announcement and release
More skins reviews = more fun for our sanity
Minor typo spotted, funny rejected
@@muhamwed Ops, i forgot to put the disc
@@muhamwed😂
Rip in Jhin chroma guys
Also Soraka and Shyvanna with blue skin (Twitter posts) looks so much more fitting
I do not know why Riot is constantly making those two human and white. It is like making Kindred human. Let them be blue!
One reason I love sugar rush Evelyn. That and her chromas give her some nice darker skin tones.
After the Samira ultimate drama and now the Soraka looking similar to her previous legendaries, I wonder how the community will react to the new SKIN which is a "Mythic chroma but with a splashart" that cost 200 dollars.
Spoiler alert: riot being greedy once more!!!
The "totally a new skin guys, its not a chroma, we promise" 200 dollars mythic Gatcha skin 😂
the moment i saw this skinline i just didnt care, they all look like they belong to different skinlines, kayle as you said to faerie court, zed is literally inkshadow, he even has the logo/symbol/icon thingy idk, sona is straight up spirit blossom but with jewelry, zeri could fit in with the dragonmancers with just a couple tweaks, shyvana is just a shan hai scrolls/firecracker prestige skin in my eyes. and soraka i dont even know and dont feel like bothering to think of it.
I think a lot of those comparisons are quite a stretch, yet it is crazy how many asian themed skin lines there are
@@mikonyx7712 the only one id say is a stretch is sona, maybe zeri. But i actually really like the zeri skin just visually, too bad its not really got a good concept behind it, sorakas the only one that reminds me of like divine sword irelia. I suppose sona sort of looks like the yi skin. Which are the only real way i could correlate these to the old skinline, zeri probably has another skinline to fit into but i just simply couldnt be bothered to do too much research for a youtube comment and went with my first thought.
By the way, in terms of general Wuxia and Xianxia themes, Zed is actually a very good representation of the whole aesthetic because swords aren't the ONLY thing that exists in Wuxia settings. There's assassins with unique weapons, people who doesn't even use bladed weapons (like the Shaolin temple or Fist-based martial clans) and even scythes as weapons and such. Swords are very common, yes, but not the only option. As a Wuxia reader and a fan I think inclusion of Zed as part of the assassin sect is perfect. It's finally representing aspects of the genre that have not been represented at all.
And also I think there's legit an oversaturation of swords in the Immortal Journey skinline as a whole. It's not all about swords and daggers, the qi blasts often take shape of animals the martial arts they are based on, and Riot could incorporate more of the Wuxia setting as a whole
But as it stands the skinline still feels very much a surface-level application of the genre, not understanding what makes the setting so captivating. Like imagine if Riot made a DnD skinline but every single character was just made as a paladin. THAT'S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE ON IMMORTAL JOURNEY FOCUSING ONLY ON SWORDS
Been waiting for eastern dragon Shyv forever and I like this a lot, new favorite for sure, but damn she's so held back.
Ruined at least looks somewhat strong and has the least offensive dragon form, but I prefer this outfit and color scheme.
Also the sword effects on her Qs are just great.
the zeri skin is actually really nice, pity it doesnt fit the overall thematic
Unfortunately zeri still doesn't have a skin that really fits her, I know how much project skin line is oversaturated but I fell it would feel so nice on her
I think it’s pretty meh my brain pulled a stupid when I first saw it and I thought it was Taliyah until she started shooting
@@kauanjos3199 Zeri would've been a good star guardian tbh. I think High Noon would be pretty damn cool but instead of withered rose as her first skin they should've gone with arcade.
@@giselleskullington3932 high noon would be perfect on her
@@giselleskullington3932 I bet she'll get a legendary in the next star g event
"Why are you white?" *looks to the Chinese market and their biases that Riot's catering to*
I'm still incredibly upset ZED got a skin on this line when the first teaser for the skinline was a FLOATING SWORD
I feel you
I main Shen too. I am really annoyed at this point, Zed,Soraka,Janna just get skins for the sake of getting skins to sell a champion like Shen isn't as popular and won't get skins frequently.But you have to admit Ashen Shen is cool asf and boy got that muscle
@@alex_velociraptoras7651 Ashen Shen is cool yes, but that doesn't change the fact he still is reusing the same animations he had since 2010
Zed is supposed to stick out and be an odd one out and I think it works perfectly - the skinline is themed after Xianxia and Zed is the classic fakken hero of that - turning from classic cultivation and enlightenment to the frowned-upon, dangerous demonic cultivation for power and progress. That's why he looks a little off to the others but I like it (if there ain't Wei Wuxian influences in his story and design I'll be surprised).
Zeri though does not work at all and idk why they chose her of all ADCs if they really needed one to be in this batch. I feel Nilah, Kalista or Aphelios could've worked with the thematic.
The skins suck touch grass
@@realbabyeater 'Touch grass' from the person pressed enough to reply to me for having a differing opinion?
Shen for Immortal Journey is like Graves for High Noon.
Or ASol for Dark Star
Obvious but somehow doesn't exist?
Shyvana? I genuinely thought that it was both Irelia (model) and Vi (in the splash) and Kayle… didn’t look like anyone specific in the splash 💀
ocanha slowly taking these videos are a highlight for me, but that punch was beauty incarnate
oh boy can't wait for the cosmic review
As a Sona main I think the skin is very pretty! However, it’s nothing new at all for Sona
The Chinese chroma splash for Guqin Sona looks almost identical to Immortal Journey Sona, and I just wish they’d be a little bit more creative than “pretty Chinese lady with long hair and long dress” for every skin of hers (not counting PsyOps and DJ those skins slap)
"Hey man.
You don't need to be eating that pepper."
The balloon shop clip brooo the memories
Wait, what does sacred sword Janna represent? I'm confused...
I'm glad sona finally has a prestige skin so I'm blind to any faults lol
The sona skin is soooooooooo fucking boring
See, I actually like it more than the non prestige addition but I guess that’s an unpopular opinion
Same here actually@@Kaialilies
I love Enduring Sword Talon. It is pretty and I like it's colours.
You should try doing this with the Coven skins, I like them aesthetically and most of the line up makes sense.
Atleast something about dawnbringer/nightbringer Soraka is: she at least _looks_ like soraka in these. Not a horned character labeled as “soraka”
I felt like I've seen this skin line before... Like, it feels like it was already there and it was as common as Star Guardian for me.
I totally forgot it was a forgotten skin line, as weird as it sounds lol
You cant deny how dump and smart the idea of zed wraping his sword around his arm,its cleary them neddeing to give him visualy clearity but the just said fuck it and didnt in the most stupid and funny way possible
Seeing a clip of balloonshop in 2023 was not something I expected but very much appreciated
I feel what made the other skins feel so good was that they had different names and didn't really release in batches, it felt like you were getting one character in a big story
They all just look too similar here and zed looks just too different
THANK YOU NICKY! I really love Zeri and seeing an skin on her that is a total miss, just hurts me a lot, but at least shyvana brought something (wish she wasn't white aswell) also when another skin line revival hope video? :D I would love to see arcade to pop up again, because i love 8bit stuff :D
I mean this is the first skin line in a while I’ve been excited for, the past few have either been themes I’m not into or themes I like but champs I don’t play
You forgot to talk about the fact the prestige Sona has the base immortal journey skin icon ingame xD
I honestly forgot the skins were releasing until I opened the store to take the short cut to twitch prime.
I’m so disappointed they don’t have creative names I was looking forward it so much
nightbringer soraka catching a stray there. that skin is goated
I will forever like the prestige skins and that will never change
i simply opened photoshop, took immortal journey zed's splash art and put the naraka bladepoint logo on the side. And it fits so well that i don't know if to be angry or not
Never thought I'd see a Naraka reference in the wild. I fucking love that game
Mildly annoyed
freedom planet 2 ost my beloved
Can you elaborate on the Sacred Sword slander pls???
Hey now star nemesis Kog'maw could be a cool idea if done well
I just want to know. Just how many eastern oriented skins is Riot going to make? A lot of them are starting to blend together and it is really hard to tell what skin line each one are.
1:35 missed opportunity to edit Karen from Mean Girls here
I really dislike how it is getting more and more difficult to actually figure out what Champion it is supposed to be when looking at Icons but also Splashes and ingame Models sometimes. Like if Kayle wasn't floating, I would have thought she was Kai'Sa.....
I have a theory that this Zed skin was meant to be released with the Mythmaker skins but for whatever reason was delayed and rebranded for this skin line. Just compare the color scheme and the art style of Immortal Journey Zed to any of the Mythmaker skins, It's so obvious once you notice!
Yo this dude on to something
Take your meds schizo Lol. He's literally the main character of the IJ cinematic.
I main Zed and the amount of new uninspired Zed skins is getting annoying to the point where I don't even want to buy them anymore for the collection
I main popular champ plus new skin equals printing money
1:29 what that sound effect for soul eater kayle so wanna add it to soundboard
i'm more glad that the skinline is back, been 4 years since the last batch
very shocked that Sona gets the highest score here too
Tell me my child what is the weapon for your journey.
Zeri: *i have a gun >:)*
I feel like Zeri's skin is the good ole "samurai immediately swapped to guns when they saw them".
I love the soraka skin and I personally don't care if animations r reused tbh but I get y ppl get upset when they do especially on a 40 dollar skin. Difference is they were reusing default samira on an ultimate skin when it looks more like they took inspiration from sorakas other legendary. So ur still getting legendary animations and such in a way. I think it's her best skin
Couldn't come up with a worse take if i tried
4:30 As a Nightbringer enthusiast I feel very attacked
didnt know this line existed
The Zeri skin reminded me of the Shard of Lightning from Xiaolin Showdown so i just viewed it as someone fighting for a Shen Gong Wu. I am a little sad that she doesnt ride storm clouds on her wall ride. also the splash art for the Prestige Sona skin is incredible regardless of how the version translates to the rift.
Oh the shurikens on the red skin draw way too much focus and make a sleek base model look too bulky. Man looks like a top heavy double copter.
I am just happy Shyvana got a new skin
Wow this is the skinline ever
I want more christmas themed skins, winter skins and mostly more pool party skins
can someone tell me what's up with sacred sword?
My boy Nicky BOY you made me cry you trully care for Shen 😢😢😢
HE doesn't. In fact, Nicky doesn't like Shen.
I CARE FOR SHEN
Wait did I miss something? Nightbringer and Dawnbringer skins for Soraka are amazing no? The effects and the flow her model has are great to look at. I’m confused here, I think they’re her best skins
Effect wise is great, but the skin is kinda painfully generic. It's basically similar to the League of Angels type of generic. Not saying it bad but cmon it's a Dawnbringer/Nightbringer skin
Generic as fuc* and there is absolutely no need for she to have 2 versions of said skin
@@etheron1235 I can agree that the thematic is generic sure but in my opinion I don’t believe it deducts much if any points from the skin itself in this case. The execution is beautiful and far from generic in my opinion. Simple and graceful
@@etheron1235how are dawn/nightbringer soraka generic? She doesn't look like anyone else in that skinline not to mention its the only good legendaries to come out of it in general
@@Adri-N To be fair, the skin was well-made due to being legendary. But they could make it more interesting especially to Nightbringer
i'm still wait the kaiju skin line to returns
I didn't even know this line existed.
I’m waiting for the IRL job skinline revival
Even as a zed main i dont like his other skins besides the legendaries that much with the exception being shockblade and project(illustration is one of the coolest even to this day) which i use once in blue moon
Let Ocanha cook
I’m a little confused, what’s wrong with Sacred Sword Janna?
mecha kingdom would be dope
I actually read some of the lore of the original skins like Irelia or Riven and it was in my opinion pretty good. I think if they stayed true to the original story even now, it would have been much better
I swear the first time I saw the soraka skin in game, I thought it was Leblanc. I was so scared she was going to jump onto me only for her to plop her e down. I was so dumbfounded til I had to look at the scoreboard to see it was her.
Whats the drama with Sacred Sword Janna?
Whats up with the janna skin?
well damn i am part of those 3 nightbringer soraka players
I agree so much about the prestige
However the default Immortal Journey just looks like a chrjma of Guqin and the fact that you like the Catseye chroma kinda proves my point (because it kinda looks like the Chinese exclusive chroma of Guqin)
woah
zeds colors really remind me of a shan hai scrolls skin
Wait, what is wrong with Janna? I'm really curious and scared..
Wait what’s wrong with sacred sword?
IVERN GUIDE PLEASE
1:38 Shyvana's skin is purple not blue.
Shen justice editor
im just mad they didn't put some effort naming the skins inline withthe swords
what's the deal with the janna skin tho?
Bro entire Chanel became skin reviews and casual champions reviews
I really loved immortal journey (zeri is my BABY) but I feel like it’s just because it’s pulling from the same influences for each East Asian skin line it’s starting to feel cramped. Where are the dragons from past immortal journey skins? Maybe pull south east Asian for Zeri seeing as she’s FILIPINO? Like there’s so many inspirations within Chinese manhua and wuxia but they keep grabbing from like crouching tiger hidden dragon.
Also doesn't sit well with me that she was inspired from filipino culture and yet they put her in a Chinese skinline (considering the friction between southeast asia and china). When will riot ever make a SEA inspired skinline? 😭
All of these skins make 20x more sense if you have ever read wuxia or manhua.
Zeri is like a typical flying swords user like kayle, zed is that one assasin character, sona is the magical zither player and so forth.
I think these stories are fun, and a lot of them tend to be very similar with their themes of cultivation, dao and other philosophies
It has been 1717 days since mundo has gotten a skin
Its almost September and we're still not seeing "the biggest budget ever" part of this year with all the garbage riot is releasing
0:31 Wait what does it represent?
I'm a but confused why sacred sword Janna has the text "I hate this skin and what it represents" over it. What's the culture reason I'm missing..?
Could someone explain the hate on Janna’s skin ?
Right?? What did sacred sword Janna do 😭
It's because she was teased as a floating sword and he thought it was going to be a skin to shen not soraka
Wish they made Sona look more traditional, cause they used guqin sounds for her sfx, but she uses the etwahl in design.. like stop using the same shape, it would've been so justified to give her a proper guqin..
And the thing with her prestige skin: supposedly because of memory, the skin has very limited model and VFX edits, even Sona mains complained how it doesn't feel special.. hopefully she gets an ASU soon as well, because she feels clunky just like Leblanc and shyvanna who are old and outdated in terms of model rigs and animations
I genuinely thought that the Shyvana skin was a Vi skin
proud to be one of the three (3) nightbringer soraka players
number 2 chiming in LOL
@@badonpurpose8930 that would make me the 3rd one, okay gang we got everyone in one comment section, great job
i agree with everything except dawnbringer + nightbringer soraka being bad. imo dawnbringer soraka is one of the best skins aesthetically, afx and fantasy wise aswell.
dont know why she got the legendary in this line tho, db/nb are just the cosmic versions of this new one
Poor Ocanha...
I suffer
look i just don't find myself caring that much for wuxia aaesthetics. it's pretty aand i get why its popular. but it's not really for me
I have opposite opinion on visiting older skin now
Bcs riot disappoints me with each one
It's bad champion choice or no care for skins
Or it's both like now
I liked older Eternal Journey skins but those are mostly miss
Honestly, the only good Immortal journey skin is Majestic Empress Morgana. Didn't even know it was part of a skinline, but that skin slaps harder than her Legendsry.
I feel triggered by Kayle' wings clipping through her head at times with the new Immortal Journey skin.
Nah man, Immortal Journey skins are so gorgeous, love them all besides Zed that is indeed an awkward kid in this skinline
How come there is no High noon Zeri yet
Didnt even know these existed.....lord knows i wouldve just though this was a mobile legends skin line or something. And i do think its that the thematic is blander than vanilla, it aint even that, its skimmed milk flavor wise, atleast with inkshadow there was a cool thematic and lets be real, theres like 20 different east asian themed skinlines, how bout a sort of south asian skinline. Imagine a Khmer/Old Indian or Vietnamese castle.....make it into a Galio, would feel awesome wouldnt you say. And its exploring more than just......."Wuxia" tropes, theres only so many "Divine *insert sword or staff here*" before the well is dried up. Imagine a skinline with Nilah having that signature Whip Sword from old indian times, i think it was called the Yumi sword or something
