This could have been a really cool skin for Yorick. Insect wing mist cape, fae walkers and Maiden, a ring of mushrooms for his wall (search up faerie ring), and a not traditionally attractive champ given a skin in an attractive line that doesn't make him evil
I'm a big time Yorick player and I didn't think of that at all but as soon as you mentioned the faerie ring I could immediately see it working SO well, ESPECIALLY WITYH THE MAIDEN
honestly the coolest part of this skinline is the potential it has for future reruns!! if they add some monster champs into this skinline it could be the next elderwood!!!
I may be in the minority here, but I honestly love Ezreal's skin. I understand that this skin would have worked a lot better with other champs, and that Ezreal doesn't need any more skins but I like how they changed Ezreal's usual blonde and blue palette into this lighter pink pastel one. I also think the costume looks really good on him along with the facial adornments
I love the skin. I just wish they changed them on the rift compared to the splash art like they Milio. Because a splash shirt is gorgeous but in-game I think his shirt should have been either more green or more blue instead of the particular shade of teal that they gave him.

Don´t let him out of the dungeon, the content is too good to let him free, what the hell, increase the security so he doesn´t escape. Keep the good content up.
I think they didn’t make it in BECAUSE they are already whimsical creatures. It’s difficult to make a faerie court Lillia skin innovative because Lillia’s base skin already looks like it could be a faerie court skin; same can be said of Neeko. Trying to do so anyways runs the risk of another Spirit Blossom Lillia situation; the skin was largely considered to be boring because it was basically just Lillia again. Nothing new or creative done with its design. It’s kind of like how Senna and Lucian were not given Sentinel skins during the SOL event because their base designs are already Sentinel skins. Or how Infernal Brand would never happen because Brand is already infernal by default.
I love non scifi fantasy style skins like this, elderwood, old god, enchanted journey, shadowfoot twitch or whatever, so I love the faerie concept. I think they could've done better with many of them though. Kalista and Karma are the best, and I wouldn't change either of them pretty much
“Don’t want to end up like the deer do we?” 😂 I know you’re referring to Lillia’s lacking skin catalogue but I certainly hope Milio also doesn’t wind up with a twitter account based around being horny towards him.
3:20 I have to say this: Even I don't like Seraphine and I don't like her design. BUT I DON'T HATE HER yes, she represents a part of LoL that we all hate, but that was almost 4 years ago. They changed it in LoR and are slowly refining it to end this hatred. the purpose of all this is probably for everyone to stop this bully against Seraphine fans, they haven't done anything wrong (only the extremists have done something that is death to those who hate her) But please guys, stop this Asap I wanted to know better his opinion on Seraphine skin, but he said why not, and that had me worried.
I mean, can you blame people for complaining about Sera to this day, when Riot keeps shoving her into her pre-labelled KDA box? Yeah, LOR did wonders to her character, but they're pretty much running independently (because of how forgotten that game is). This is her 5th skin and it's the first one where she isn't a popstar, because in the eyes of execs KDA is her one and only identity and that's really fecking sad for us who actually care about the Runeterra-Sera
I hope from the bottom of my soul that they keep this skin line going for a while. Give us some Redcaps, give us some Hobgoblins give us the monsters of the fey realm. For the love of god give us the queen of air and darkness!
I hope this skinline was the same as the verdant Kyle and,emerald Taric and Monarch Kog'maw... He's also a butterfly too ... Twitch might be good as hobgoblins :D
Personally I think the lore of this skin line is interesting and definitely has potential for expansion. Karma isn't actually supposed to be crowned queen but some unnamed character/s put her on the throne for their own reasons (it's giving Leblanc). While the actual queen to be crowned Fiora was sidelined. Then you have the aspect of the 4 season kingdoms. I think the winter kingdom is shunned by everyone so they have their own queen mentioned in Karma's lines to Katarina, the unseelie queen. As for the colors I think there's some way to rationalize the choices they made. Summer is all the bright pinks/violets, light blues some greens. It's all of the other season's colors. Spring only has 1 represention but I think they'll be more shades of blue and purple with green. Like they represent the clear skies of spring. Autumn is darker oranges and red with deep violets. While Winter is white with minimal accents of blue or green, mimicking a tundra biome.
I know that its dumb, but Ezreal's pastel color pallet (depending on what what reference site you use) is indeed a summer. I think specifically in makeup and clothes, bolder colors are spring while pastels are considered summer. When talking in reference to artistic color theory this is not the case, which as an artist always trips me up, but when people do things like "color matching" for your appearance, what color belongs where is not as intuitive as you would think.
It'S a fault of the in game coloration, If he was sky blue, yelow/orange and pink, it would be a summer coloration, instead he's teal, bright green, and pink, That's spring
@@ludekmaly3900 Hi, like I said in my comment, the way colors are seasonally categorized changes based on the source and for what you’re using it for. For example, in more traditional artistic color theory, those examples you have are absolutely correct. And they feel more intuitive in my opinion as well. However, in other practices, like color matching based on appearance, pastels are considered more summery and bolder pinks, purples, yellows, ect. are considered spring colors. I'm not saying that the coloration is good, I personally think its dumb, but there is at least different categorization of colors than feels intuitive.
@@nunyabiznes7446 By bright, I mean more saturated. Ezreal's color pallet was pretty light and unsaturated, making the colors pastels in my opinion. Also summer is not mostly green, its a mix of colors like pale blue, green, purple, and pink.
Because of toxic and dumb superfans/haters of Sera, normal players have to suffer :(. I'm really sad that you have to deal with those inadequate people who writes death threats.
The only reason they came up with seraphine is to sell. More kda skins. Her lore on launch was trash so they had to rewrite it, they gave her a freaking ultimate skin on launch! Like why?! And she's just sona 2.0 and that's what bothers me the most. Sonas my favorite champ and instead of reworking her kit they gave that idea to seraphine. That's why I don't like her. She's not a bad champ but the way riot went about creating her was bad
I actually love that kalistas back spears are wings but it was a legendary wasted oportunity to make new animations of her flying around instead of jumping, plus I hope the spears you threw were also wings
The skins are very pretty. That's about it. Not much to say outside of that. Kalista could have used the legendary skins make her back not riddled with spears an possibly change her from being vengeance incarnate for once. I don't know what she would be in this universe, but I imagine it is better than replacing spears with wings. That's like 3 wings haphazardly thrust into her back right?
when this skinline first got announced, while I was happy Kalista was getting something really nice looking, I wasn't expecting to care for this line at all. I was expecting it to be basically exactly what you'd expect from a skinline about fairies, bright colours, sparkles, your typical happy go lucky champs (besides Kalista). I was really surprised when pbe went up and the skinline was not that, that I wound up liking it a lot more than I thought I would. I do think fans have fixated too heavily on who should have been in this skinline based on aesthetics, and completely neglected the political drama aspect of it, where champs like Katarina do indeed fit in. One of the writers for the line, Riot Ten Paces I think? even said it could be described as magical Game of Thrones with faeries kinda validated me in my frustration that people only focused on who fit into the bright and bubbly aspect of the line. But I digress, I'm pleasantly surprised with Faerie Court, moreso than I expected to be
I especially like Kalista and Katarina because they feel like almost opposite aesthetics from their canon selves, I think more skins should play with that idea and we should have more darker, serious champions in lighter skinlines like this (looking at you, Kayn, getting only edgelord anime boi skins)
I am incredibly angry, absolutely seething with rage, no hope with coping with the fact, that LuLu didn’t get a skin. Her entire thing is that she is the FAE SORCERESS.
Same! Also morg or kalye could have made this skin line work so well. I know they're technically angels and morgs a fallen angel but it could have worked out!
@@brunoir283 If Riot doesn’t make redundant skins then why did they make Seraphine have a KDA skin? She’s already a pop star, so why did they give her another pop star skin? Same with wizard Ryze, he’s already a mage. And what about thunder lord Volibear? He’s already the god of storms in the Freljord.
@@Invisibool you know what I mean. Alternate takes on a character. Lulu’s design is still that of a yordle, not a Fae. Giving Lulu faerie wings and a more whimsical look instead of the semi-mage look she already has wouldn’t be that much of a problem, especially with pix because pixies are just smaller faeries.
as a folklore fan (and dnd nerd) the seasonal courts weren't something riot just made up, the fae organise in many courts often underneath the labels of seelie (based in light and contracts, generally good with their wrath needing to be provoked) and unseelie (scheming tricksters associated with darkness and mistrust) they are also traditionally divided into presiding over the four seasons, with the summer court often being merged with the seelie court/the winter court with the unseelie in fictional adaptations, although the idea of seasonal courts appear to have more contemporary origins compared to the classifications of seelie and unseelie which stem from various ancient gaelic folktales and beliefs uh. yeah so funny skinline cool, i feel like kled wouldve been a good pick to represent the more goblinoid fae, skaarl couldve had little butterfly wings in the place of flaps and everything
Karma was the very first champ I fell in love with when my friend introduced me to the game in 2017. When I started playing more regularly again I made sure to buy her Faerie Court skin. It makes me happy, it's about time she got a legendary skin. Now I have all of them!
@@0927kira Every skin she gets is held back by that dumbass platform. That's why Arclight is the only one that looks cool to me. Cuz she's flying in her lv 2
the color scheme is related to each season's plants, not with the environment, I also found it weird at first but then someone explained and it's actually much better since it's related to the forest
As a sucker for fantasy creature concepts, it's cool seeing every character involved turn into fae. It was honestly a breath of fresh air knowing that Riot's concept of fae are a good mixture of the dainty Tinkerbell-esque fairies and the darker feral, insectoid fae.
As I saw Fiora come up I thought to myself, "Oh wow, I hope they add Katarina into this skin pool, she needs another." Sarcastically in my head. Then I continued watching. I love Kat and I main her mid but give some love to other champions for the love of god.
@@jasonmiller2379 sush dude they'll increase the prices claiming they're not making enough and than announce they never made so much before a week after, don't give them ideasm
also something that is very nice about fae katarina is while the others are butterfly wing themed hers resemble a moth more, which i find suits the winter theme more
The faewild. Spilt into the seelie and unseelie courts. The unseelie court comprised of all the spooky stuff of fairy tales, like redcaps, goblins, brownies, trolls etc. it’s ruled by the queen of air and darkness. It will be cool to see this side of the fae realm get representation and we could get some dark fae skins for champs like Kled, Trundle, Zac, and Teemo
It might have been too deep a cut, but it'd be fun to have a few redcaps. Mundo's the go-to crazy guy but a bolder choice would be to completely rethink an existing hunter, like Rengar or Rek'sai, or give it to someone whose silly movement fits the faerie theme, like Zac or Zeri. I legit love the idea of a Redcap Rek'sai.
It's fine, faerie is basically the ancestor word of fairy. If they really wanted to ramp up the oldworldiness of this skin line they would've called it the FAE Court to really distinguish it, but I guess they didn't wanna scare off people who only know about the cutesy kind of fairies so they chose an innocuous middle-ground. In fact this whole skin-line reeks of that, since traditionally the Fae were... not nice. Typically the Winter Court is thought of as the 'bad guys', but the simple fact is that ALL of the Lords and Ladies kinda looked down on humanity as lesser beings: a Fae being nice to a human is either them taking pity on you or luring you in with shiny things so they can do something horrible to you later. The legends that come to mind when I think of Fae are cradle-snatchers who stole human babies (and operated similarly to vampire rules vis a vis being allowed into a human's house, hence why you should NEVER leave a baby near a window) and that you should NEVER eat or drink anything while in Fae lands or they *OWN YOUR SOUL.* Or something like that. Ultimately, the Fae are supposed to represent the caprice of Nature: at times kind, at times cruel, but always mercurial and unable to be understood with human logic. In some ways they're similar to the monsters and gods of the Cthulhu Mythos: they do what they want according to their own alien values; while you can potentially gain great power and knowledge from consorting with them, the only real winning move is not to play.
Another one - Whilst in the Fae lands _never_ tell anyone your name, they will steal it and in doing so give you magical amnesia, trapping you there until you die.
Me watching this at night and getting to 1:16 actually Hurt. The "MY EYES" Spongebob meme a few seconds later was me IRL. Also, like those edits. Also, also, FBI don't go to 0:04 nothing to see there.
If I’m not mistaken, faerie is still pronounced “fairy.” It’s just the more technical/mature term for fairy. Fairy suits this skinline more since Fae-rie tend to be a bit more dark and mischievous and fairy are your typical lighthearted cutesy winged creatures, I still like the technical spelling more
As someone who's a big nut for fae stuff these skins are kinda meh and a bit basic. Fae has some mystical and fantastical stuff but as Nicky pointed out there's also some pretty grim and horrifying stuff; for every pixie, fairy, and nymph we have stuff like dulahan, hags, and spriggans. These skins feel like a very walmart definition of fae stuff, things you'd see on a grade schoolers poster.
Omg a gnome or gobelin Kled would have been a perfect fit for this skin line with a redcap skaarl Instead of giving ez and kat another skin or the cat vs dog which is a bit wacky
before i knew that there was a new skinline i saw katarina's splash art for this skin and thought it was just winterblessed diana. and it wasn't only the first time, i saw this splashart like 5 times and only when someone told me that this was kata i noticed the scar and was like ohhhh yeah now it STILL doesnt make sense.
my personal favorite is Fiora, she has my favorite colors and her original lore of being a die-hard Demacian swordsman mixed with her being a guard of the Faerie Court gives me good brainworms. but godDAMN that Kat splash is just on another level.
I like how with some of his favorite chroma versions he made them look better and in season but with Katarina who looks great he's like let's make her summer/autumn with the red chroma lol
I really honestly think that this new skin for ezreal is one of his best, just because i think its the gayest skin we will ever get for ezreal, or possible for any champ ever.
I really enjoy this skin line. Honestly one of my favorite new skin lines. I’m really hoping they make a return solely to see who the seelie queen is. It makes me miss the tinkerbell movies.
hey Nicki, I know it's a bit old at this point but could you go over coven? even though the women are basic I still love the way they look, and you can't forget old gods I am a Warwick main and my favorite skin is still old God Warwick, the splash is awesome too
Lilia , neeko and lulu being fantastical fairy like creatures Riot : yea let’s give it to the kill dark revenge lady , the demacian racist, the knife woman and the twink because they are popular
The point of skins is to change the theme of the champion. If the champion itself would mostly fit in the skin line with their base skin, then I would argue that they are NOT in fact a good fit. Like, should we get an Infernal Brand ? I see the point that you are making very often and it makes absolutely 0 sense to me.
@@Darkprosper yeah Lillia especially feels redundant imo. Fae Court Lulu actually could be really interesting depending on what direction they take Pix
i just can't get over Karma's leg in this skin, i call it her LEGendary skin because she's a fucking flamingo, iit looks good, but her idle animation PUT YOUR FUCKING FOOT DOWN... a bigger issue is that in game this skin looks like soraka, not karma
Those are seasonal colours - they're based on seasonal colour theory. Each season uses the same colour of blue, yellow, oink, etc., but different chroma, hue, and saturation. You find yellow undertones in Spring/Fall, and blue in Summer/Fall.
This skinline isn't for everyone, which is fair. I'm sure when Resistance/Battlecast skins come out, the Faerie Court crowd probably won't be interested much. Everyone has their own tastes and not all skinlines will resonate with anyone. As for the mixed coloring, we have preexisting ideas of what colors mean which season but art is subjective and colors have a wide range of symbolism. Fiora's cooler colors may not make sense for spring, but perhaps she represents the rainy days of spring. These deviations make you think critically about the art, which is always fun. Normally I'd agree about Ezreal not needing another skin (Porcelain is probably his least necessary one) but I'm biased as hell. I love Ezreal, and this is the type of skin I've been waiting for him to get since I started playing 9 years ago. I hope Varus gets a pretty skin this year too.
I disagree on Ezreal. Yes he has way too many skins and I wish they'd stop with him for a bit but faerie court fills something that was missing from Ezreal's skin catalog. It's his only skin where they lean into the twink side of his design instead of the suave pretty boy or shonen protagonist aspect of his design. At best you have Star Guardian Ezreal but let's be honest, that's a cop out. They had every chance to make him Sailor Moon and they took the easy way out of making him Tuxedo Mask
His SG design is considered masculine and heroic by Eastern standards actually. And Faerie Court is like the one fan servicey skin we get from the midriff, so another niche it provides.
@@amandaslough125 yeah I know that was my point that they wasted the potential to go full twink on sg lol I'm just bad at words. And I guess my point was less that it *is* a twink-y skin and more that of the skins he had before faerie court it would be the easiest to turn into something kinda fruity lol
Hate to break it to you Mr Nicholas Boi, but Faerie is still pronounced "Fairy". It's just the old timey way of spelling it (kinda like Gaol = Jail), so you were in fact CORRECT
uh tulips are often purple and is a spring flower. but not sure Riot was thinking of that since i don't really see many flowers in that skins but that could be the reason for Purple skin instead green
I like playing this game where before I look at the video I see how many champions I can guess by looking at the splashart faces on the thumbnail. This time I got 3 right! I'm quite impressed ngl
For this initial line I do think the references are our of ur taste, the aesthetics refer to faerie kingdom media of 2000-2010s so people who grew up with winx or tinkerbell movies would really appreciate the camp and kitsch of this line. I do agree on one thing which is why tf is ezreal in this skinline, this aesthetic is like the opposite of what I think ezreal players want
i was praying for kayle or even morg to get one just because of their already existing wings lol. like imagine some icey winter armor kayle or something, or some spring flowery morg with a flower field type of W, just to contrast her dark theme. it would have been so fcking easy to make them look awesome. or even kha as a firefly typa thingie god damn riot
either way, bottom line is: stop trying to force champs into skinlines just because theyre popular please the lack of somehow both sense AND originality is annoying
I don't get why Gwen or Lillia didn't get skins, they fit the skin line perfectly
not popular~
Annoying champs
İ was gonna say lillia as well but riot can't get enough of ezreal fanboys

NOW I NEED YOUR FC REACTION FOR THIS YEARS BATCH
I actually love that kalistas back spears are wings but it was a legendary wasted oportunity to make new animations of her flying around instead of jumping, plus I hope the spears you threw were also wings
Looks like Nicky predicted the future with Faerie Court Lillia 🥺
The skins are very pretty. That's about it. Not much to say outside of that.
Kalista could have used the legendary skins make her back not riddled with spears an possibly change her from being vengeance incarnate for once. I don't know what she would be in this universe, but I imagine it is better than replacing spears with wings. That's like 3 wings haphazardly thrust into her back right?
I hadn’t heard of this skin line until the Skin Theme dropped on YT… 5 seconds before you posted this.
I closed the theme and you were just THERE.
Ah yes.
The polish driver in an intro. You made my day or more like night
when this skinline first got announced, while I was happy Kalista was getting something really nice looking, I wasn't expecting to care for this line at all. I was expecting it to be basically exactly what you'd expect from a skinline about fairies, bright colours, sparkles, your typical happy go lucky champs (besides Kalista). I was really surprised when pbe went up and the skinline was not that, that I wound up liking it a lot more than I thought I would. I do think fans have fixated too heavily on who should have been in this skinline based on aesthetics, and completely neglected the political drama aspect of it, where champs like Katarina do indeed fit in. One of the writers for the line, Riot Ten Paces I think? even said it could be described as magical Game of Thrones with faeries kinda validated me in my frustration that people only focused on who fit into the bright and bubbly aspect of the line. But I digress, I'm pleasantly surprised with Faerie Court, moreso than I expected to be
Faerie/fairy actually has so many different spellings it's genuinely intriguing because of how different each culture's folklore is
I love this Kalista skin and I love that Ledros is in her splash art! AHHHHH
I especially like Kalista and Katarina because they feel like almost opposite aesthetics from their canon selves, I think more skins should play with that idea and we should have more darker, serious champions in lighter skinlines like this (looking at you, Kayn, getting only edgelord anime boi skins)
You should do a whole video just for Elementalist Lux lmao
This skin line is 33% awesome skins for underappreciated champs, 33% cool concepts for popular characters, and 33% "popular champion XD"
I am incredibly angry, absolutely seething with rage, no hope with coping with the fact, that LuLu didn’t get a skin.
Her entire thing is that she is the FAE SORCERESS.
Same! Also morg or kalye could have made this skin line work so well. I know they're technically angels and morgs a fallen angel but it could have worked out!
and that is exactly the reason why. it's absolutely redundent.
@@brunoir283 If Riot doesn’t make redundant skins then why did they make Seraphine have a KDA skin? She’s already a pop star, so why did they give her another pop star skin? Same with wizard Ryze, he’s already a mage. And what about thunder lord Volibear? He’s already the god of storms in the Freljord.
@@Ofxzh Those Ryze and Volibear skins are very very old skins.Especially the Voli one
@@Invisibool you know what I mean. Alternate takes on a character. Lulu’s design is still that of a yordle, not a Fae. Giving Lulu faerie wings and a more whimsical look instead of the semi-mage look she already has wouldn’t be that much of a problem, especially with pix because pixies are just smaller faeries.
i lock in seraphine and my ip address gets pasted into all chat
as a folklore fan (and dnd nerd) the seasonal courts weren't something riot just made up, the fae organise in many courts often underneath the labels of seelie (based in light and contracts, generally good with their wrath needing to be provoked) and unseelie (scheming tricksters associated with darkness and mistrust)
they are also traditionally divided into presiding over the four seasons, with the summer court often being merged with the seelie court/the winter court with the unseelie in fictional adaptations, although the idea of seasonal courts appear to have more contemporary origins compared to the classifications of seelie and unseelie which stem from various ancient gaelic folktales and beliefs
uh. yeah so funny skinline cool, i feel like kled wouldve been a good pick to represent the more goblinoid fae, skaarl couldve had little butterfly wings in the place of flaps and everything
Karma was the very first champ I fell in love with when my friend introduced me to the game in 2017. When I started playing more regularly again I made sure to buy her Faerie Court skin. It makes me happy, it's about time she got a legendary skin. Now I have all of them!
Seraphine has now obtained her 5th skin that looks exacly the same as the other ones god bless 6/6.6
When I first saw Seraphines art on Twitter, I saw the weird butterfly wing hair, assumed it was AI generated, and reported it.
@@vendigear4700 LMFAO
go get your eyes checked
@@0927kira Every skin she gets is held back by that dumbass platform. That's why Arclight is the only one that looks cool to me. Cuz she's flying in her lv 2
How does this skin look same as kda or Phoenix?
the color scheme is related to each season's plants, not with the environment, I also found it weird at first but then someone explained and it's actually much better since it's related to the forest
omg I didn't even notice ledros and he's my favourite character in the lore
As a sucker for fantasy creature concepts, it's cool seeing every character involved turn into fae. It was honestly a breath of fresh air knowing that Riot's concept of fae are a good mixture of the dainty Tinkerbell-esque fairies and the darker feral, insectoid fae.
As I saw Fiora come up I thought to myself, "Oh wow, I hope they add Katarina into this skin pool, she needs another." Sarcastically in my head.
Then I continued watching.
I love Kat and I main her mid but give some love to other champions for the love of god.
see that would require riot to risk...losing money
and tencent can't have that now can they
@@jasonmiller2379 sush dude they'll increase the prices claiming they're not making enough and than announce they never made so much before a week after, don't give them ideasm
It's crazy how you post this video seconds after the Faerie Court theme just dropped
Faerie is a real word (and pronounced the exact same as Fairy)
also "fairies" and "the fae" are generally the same. Fairies are fae.
also something that is very nice about fae katarina is while the others are butterfly wing themed hers resemble a moth more, which i find suits the winter theme more
When I saw Milios skin review I thougth it was a star guardian skin. Good design riot, good design.
CONTENT MACHINE LETS GOOOO
Fun fact that car jump that was in the first seconds of video was in my town. Some drunken fella jumped into church parking
Wow, right when the theme dropped
to me katarina feels like she represents her season the best but she also feels like she doesn't fit in the skin like at all aesthetically
All of this was white noise all I hear is KARMA HAS A LEGENDARY KARMA HAS A LEGENDARY KARMA HAS A LEGENDARY
The faewild. Spilt into the seelie and unseelie courts. The unseelie court comprised of all the spooky stuff of fairy tales, like redcaps, goblins, brownies, trolls etc. it’s ruled by the queen of air and darkness. It will be cool to see this side of the fae realm get representation and we could get some dark fae skins for champs like Kled, Trundle, Zac, and Teemo
5 months later, still quality content.
It might have been too deep a cut, but it'd be fun to have a few redcaps. Mundo's the go-to crazy guy but a bolder choice would be to completely rethink an existing hunter, like Rengar or Rek'sai, or give it to someone whose silly movement fits the faerie theme, like Zac or Zeri.
I legit love the idea of a Redcap Rek'sai.
It's fine, faerie is basically the ancestor word of fairy. If they really wanted to ramp up the oldworldiness of this skin line they would've called it the FAE Court to really distinguish it, but I guess they didn't wanna scare off people who only know about the cutesy kind of fairies so they chose an innocuous middle-ground.
In fact this whole skin-line reeks of that, since traditionally the Fae were... not nice. Typically the Winter Court is thought of as the 'bad guys', but the simple fact is that ALL of the Lords and Ladies kinda looked down on humanity as lesser beings: a Fae being nice to a human is either them taking pity on you or luring you in with shiny things so they can do something horrible to you later.
The legends that come to mind when I think of Fae are cradle-snatchers who stole human babies (and operated similarly to vampire rules vis a vis being allowed into a human's house, hence why you should NEVER leave a baby near a window) and that you should NEVER eat or drink anything while in Fae lands or they *OWN YOUR SOUL.* Or something like that.
Ultimately, the Fae are supposed to represent the caprice of Nature: at times kind, at times cruel, but always mercurial and unable to be understood with human logic. In some ways they're similar to the monsters and gods of the Cthulhu Mythos: they do what they want according to their own alien values; while you can potentially gain great power and knowledge from consorting with them, the only real winning move is not to play.
Another one - Whilst in the Fae lands _never_ tell anyone your name, they will steal it and in doing so give you magical amnesia, trapping you there until you die.
Me watching this at night and getting to 1:16 actually Hurt.
The "MY EYES" Spongebob meme a few seconds later was me IRL.
Also, like those edits.
Also, also, FBI don't go to 0:04 nothing to see there.
Ezreal looks so twinky, I love it so much
If I’m not mistaken, faerie is still pronounced “fairy.” It’s just the more technical/mature term for fairy. Fairy suits this skinline more since Fae-rie tend to be a bit more dark and mischievous and fairy are your typical lighthearted cutesy winged creatures, I still like the technical spelling more
As someone who's a big nut for fae stuff these skins are kinda meh and a bit basic. Fae has some mystical and fantastical stuff but as Nicky pointed out there's also some pretty grim and horrifying stuff; for every pixie, fairy, and nymph we have stuff like dulahan, hags, and spriggans. These skins feel like a very walmart definition of fae stuff, things you'd see on a grade schoolers poster.
all the colour schemes make sense to me, pale pastels for spring, bright for summer, warm for fall, cool for winter?
Bro thought he could sneak an outro on us like we wouldn’t notice
That skin-line lore kinda reminds me of a setting in magic the gathering; Lorwyn. Has some of the most gorgeous card arts in the game.
ocanha we hear your screems just wait for the plan
Missed opportunity for faery Cho gath smh
Best skin line up🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆. Instead of just black, boring dull taste.
Even after finishing watching the video I forgot faerie court Fiora existed
Omg a gnome or gobelin Kled would have been a perfect fit for this skin line with a redcap skaarl
Instead of giving ez and kat another skin or the cat vs dog which is a bit wacky
I mean the cat vs dog is for April fools so of course it's going to be wacky.
I've probably said it before but I'll say it again, the tf2 meme's/refferences in Nicky's videos are golden
I cant wait for: Rapid fire skin review: Kaiju
I love how Regular faerie katarina and gala katarian look like they're switched, as the regular one just looks infinitely better
before i knew that there was a new skinline i saw katarina's splash art for this skin and thought it was just winterblessed diana. and it wasn't only the first time, i saw this splashart like 5 times and only when someone told me that this was kata i noticed the scar and was like ohhhh yeah now it STILL doesnt make sense.
my personal favorite is Fiora, she has my favorite colors and her original lore of being a die-hard Demacian swordsman mixed with her being a guard of the Faerie Court gives me good brainworms. but godDAMN that Kat splash is just on another level.
I like how with some of his favorite chroma versions he made them look better and in season but with Katarina who looks great he's like let's make her summer/autumn with the red chroma lol
Nicky, por favor, já chega, liberte o Ocanha, ele já veio do reino do Mordekaiser, ele já sofreu demais
I just wish they remembered that there are more monsters in Runeterra than people
I really honestly think that this new skin for ezreal is one of his best, just because i think its the gayest skin we will ever get for ezreal, or possible for any champ ever.
Yes, ezreal has a lot of other skins, but now he's officially a femboy, which gives more points to the skin
Femboys are cute
@@TApple_101 exactly
I really enjoy this skin line. Honestly one of my favorite new skin lines. I’m really hoping they make a return solely to see who the seelie queen is. It makes me miss the tinkerbell movies.
i literally would have never guessed fiora is spring, ever.
All I’m gonna say, is riot missed the chance with fairy queen belveth
hey Nicki, I know it's a bit old at this point but could you go over coven?
even though the women are basic I still love the way they look, and you can't forget old gods
I am a Warwick main and my favorite skin is still old God Warwick, the splash is awesome too
Yo Sir get a like extra just for the purple guy meme for the fuemigos, always cracks me up
Lilia , neeko and lulu being fantastical fairy like creatures
Riot : yea let’s give it to the kill dark revenge lady , the demacian racist, the knife woman and the twink because they are popular
You're right on three of the four but... kalista? Popular? Nah kalista is like the one risky skin of this line
She's certainly not more popular than Lulu
Kalista is the reason that skin line exists and is one of the slam dunks AND didn't got a skin since Marauder Januar 2021
The point of skins is to change the theme of the champion. If the champion itself would mostly fit in the skin line with their base skin, then I would argue that they are NOT in fact a good fit. Like, should we get an Infernal Brand ?
I see the point that you are making very often and it makes absolutely 0 sense to me.
@@Darkprosper yeah Lillia especially feels redundant imo. Fae Court Lulu actually could be really interesting depending on what direction they take Pix
i just can't get over Karma's leg in this skin, i call it her LEGendary skin because she's a fucking flamingo, iit looks good, but her idle animation PUT YOUR FUCKING FOOT DOWN... a bigger issue is that in game this skin looks like soraka, not karma
about 3 years and people still cry abt seraphine xd geta grip
I really wish that lulu got one of these. She is literally the butterfly girl.
Those are seasonal colours - they're based on seasonal colour theory. Each season uses the same colour of blue, yellow, oink, etc., but different chroma, hue, and saturation.
You find yellow undertones in Spring/Fall, and blue in Summer/Fall.
This skinline isn't for everyone, which is fair. I'm sure when Resistance/Battlecast skins come out, the Faerie Court crowd probably won't be interested much. Everyone has their own tastes and not all skinlines will resonate with anyone.
As for the mixed coloring, we have preexisting ideas of what colors mean which season but art is subjective and colors have a wide range of symbolism. Fiora's cooler colors may not make sense for spring, but perhaps she represents the rainy days of spring. These deviations make you think critically about the art, which is always fun.
Normally I'd agree about Ezreal not needing another skin (Porcelain is probably his least necessary one) but I'm biased as hell. I love Ezreal, and this is the type of skin I've been waiting for him to get since I started playing 9 years ago. I hope Varus gets a pretty skin this year too.
I need the Unga bunga sound effect at 0:05 PLEASE
I disagree on Ezreal. Yes he has way too many skins and I wish they'd stop with him for a bit but faerie court fills something that was missing from Ezreal's skin catalog. It's his only skin where they lean into the twink side of his design instead of the suave pretty boy or shonen protagonist aspect of his design. At best you have Star Guardian Ezreal but let's be honest, that's a cop out. They had every chance to make him Sailor Moon and they took the easy way out of making him Tuxedo Mask
His SG design is considered masculine and heroic by Eastern standards actually. And Faerie Court is like the one fan servicey skin we get from the midriff, so another niche it provides.
@@amandaslough125 yeah I know that was my point that they wasted the potential to go full twink on sg lol I'm just bad at words. And I guess my point was less that it *is* a twink-y skin and more that of the skins he had before faerie court it would be the easiest to turn into something kinda fruity lol
I fucking laugh to hard with the purple guy tombstone music played over the purple fuemigo XDDDD
Did my man just diss the Demacia Vice skin line? Is he for real?
I propose we start explaining why X chroma is your favorite
Nice Poland refrence (flying car in The begining was from Poland, it was even on National tv news xD)
Hate to break it to you Mr Nicholas Boi, but Faerie is still pronounced "Fairy". It's just the old timey way of spelling it (kinda like Gaol = Jail), so you were in fact CORRECT
uh tulips are often purple and is a spring flower. but not sure Riot was thinking of that since i don't really see many flowers in that skins but that could be the reason for Purple skin instead green
I dont care what anyone says Milio would have needed a Beekeeper skin as an opening it would have selled better than any of this.
I like playing this game where before I look at the video I see how many champions I can guess by looking at the splashart faces on the thumbnail.
This time I got 3 right! I'm quite impressed ngl
Karma and Katarina are my favorite’s of this skin. And seeing how they still didn’t put champions that fit the skin line again is becoming a pattern
For this initial line I do think the references are our of ur taste, the aesthetics refer to faerie kingdom media of 2000-2010s so people who grew up with winx or tinkerbell movies would really appreciate the camp and kitsch of this line. I do agree on one thing which is why tf is ezreal in this skinline, this aesthetic is like the opposite of what I think ezreal players want
3:45 Lissandra crying in the conner 😂
2:00 Since when Fiora considered a popular champion?
amazed belveth wasnt in this skin line. she is literally a giant winged beast its perfect for a dark fae inspired monster.
i was praying for kayle or even morg to get one just because of their already existing wings lol. like imagine some icey winter armor kayle or something, or some spring flowery morg with a flower field type of W, just to contrast her dark theme. it would have been so fcking easy to make them look awesome. or even kha as a firefly typa thingie god damn riot
either way, bottom line is: stop trying to force champs into skinlines just because theyre popular please the lack of somehow both sense AND originality is annoying
Fiora looks like the older fairy princess from The movie Strange Magic and Kalista looks like one of the leafmen from the movie Epic 2013
