The skynline that screams "i like money" i literally forgot this even existed
First was empyrean with Lux, Pyke, Jax and Zed, now this, I was REALLY surprised Lux wasn't included in this one as well
@@LeonardoDaVinciEUm then after that it was inkshadow, yasuo, yone, Yi, Kai sa. Such boring generic popular champ picks for a new skinline
@@phiphi2209 It's fun when they work (I think Inkshadow Yi is actually a really good skin), but most of the time they're just there to... Well... Sell. The paint demons skinline that had mostly unpopular champions was another really surprising to me, but... It's extremely mid and Rengar which is the popular champion kinda sucks there too, but Brand and Zyra are actually great there
It's like Riot has an idea that they can execute really well on one or two champions, but then they just shove in either really popular champions that do nothing creative for the skinline, new champions (as release skins) that do nothing creative for the skinline, or unpopular champions that don't get nearly as much love or attention for said skinline
@@LeonardoDaVinciEUm To EMpyrean's credit, it was at least novel and unique and not... looking like every other lunar revel skin theyve released
@@thepapavulture8322 that's fair
All I could think when I saw this was “why the hell are kaisa and Ezreal getting ANOTHER SKIN??” Lowkey we could’ve gotten a dragon neeko skin and I would be so much more hyped
I could see making that many skins for the same champs IF YOU COULD PLAY MULTIPLE SKINS IN THE SAME GAME, I HAVE 6 THRESH SKINS (almost all for free), I PICK ONE AT RANDOM EVEN THO I HAVE BOTH LEGENDARYS, NOONE NEEDS THAT MANY WHO ARE THEY SELLING THEM TO?
MONEY
@@Juanlimiaualot of champs especially adc that are hot have mains with a complesive buying disorder and are obsess with a character so they need every skin on them
[ i mean i get it every kog maw skin is mine ]
@@Muuonynot only adc mains:for example yone mains(pictured:me)have the same disorder xD
Riot refusing to put the dragon champions in the dragon skinline to celebrate the *year of the dragon* is not something that surprised me but it is something that angers me
Hello? Shyvana? Actual dragon with human form?! HELLO?!?!?
bbbut she just got a new skin recently- EZREAL IS RIGHT THERE
hmmmm nooooo, too much work for little rito they have to work on her Visual rework remember?!?! that we wont get until 2027!
The funnier part is almost every single Heavenscale skin looks like a ripoff of her recent Immortal Journey skin.
The actual dragons of the runeterra universe were forgotten in the year of the dragon. At least they teased shyvanna some change in the future
Shyv.... ana?
Who?
one day we’ll get a kai’sa skin that actually leans into the horror/body armour aspect she was originally created with instead of hot lady with floaty shoulder things no 7
Coven would be pretty good at that only skin i actually care for probably should be a
eclipse knight tho
They can barely handle anything not a girl with stick or guy with sword. Ain't no way we'll ever get a good skin like that
You freaking wish, Riot will never do something like this because they're too obsessed with making clean skins. If Kai'sa doesn't have a body horror aesthetic on her base skin which is her whole identity, if she didn't get a body horror skin during Bel'veth's release, she is *never* getting one like that
Not gonna happen lmao, it’s gonna be magic sword shoulder things next
I doubt anyone can even thought about this beauty-perfect-make-up girl that she was created with intention to represent a Terror-like region
>Make a legendary skin
>Give him mythic chroma
>Also make regular chroma that looks identical
Uhm it has a dragon finisher 🤓☝️
Rito Logic
Holy shit getting jumpscared by myself is not something I thought would happen today
Yo? Soda is here? Big fan.
Timecode?
the a sol legendary skin is HEAT
Nah it doesn't make sense thematically and the armor design and in-game model are both bland. 😂
It literally looks like any other Asol skin they got no creativity
People seem to hate it but I’m with you I’m Franky in love and can’t wait
There is no champion favoritism in ba sing se
*smiling casually with gun next to head*
Its crazy that we cannot get another Christmas or any other religion theme skin but we get 5 lunar/chinese mithos skin lines and they all look the same lmao
All a scam, but chinese scam brings alot more money than christmas scam
@@UmbralScythe true and the reason lee sin got the legendary and the mythic scam is probably due to the fact that his dragon skins are extremely popular in china
Winterblessed managed to be "xmas but without the xmas in the title just so china can't yell at us"
But yea 4 chinese themed skins in a row non stop is kind of... 💀
Agreed we don't get clear themes from those but at least we get stuff inspirired by those
Just rename winter blessed with "Christmas blessed" there you go, yippee
I’m so excited for the next rapid fire skin review, some of those porcelain skins look amazing
asol legedn
we dont talk about irelia tho
Some? Like 2. Asol is good and I actually like the Kindred prestige, but thats it.
@@ruihenriques5954 sorry you mean mobile legends character
@@ruihenriques5954the irelia one is good, the mf darius and graves one are meh the rest are great
It's funny how league started to "Retire" old skinlines for the sake of trying to reduce cosmetic rot, but this skin review helps to show that said rot has very little to do with what skin line is becoming too tired. I will admit obviously that oversaturation is a thing, but a large part of why skinlines like project or high noon became oversaturated was because the designers assumed they didn't need to DO anything with the skin + champion concept beyond making them vaguely conform to the theme. Skins like High Noon Varus, Talon and Project Irelia, Akali or Jinx are all perfect examples of this half measure that sets a president for skins to be worse and lower effort.
Champion Favoritism isn't gonna "League of Legends" or anything because no matter how low the quality bar goes, the Lux and Ezreal players are gonna keep buying the new cosmetics, even if they suck, or have better already available alternatives. This really does just make me sad because there are only so many ways you can re-invent a champion with the same concept, and seeing the repeating of the same themes on the same champions with a different coat of paint is going to be incredibly frustrating.
Add on top of that, that someday we will be seeing champions like Ezreal and Lux have upwards of 30-40 skins meanwhile ornn still has less than 5 by that time, and that goes double for newer champions. This also of course to mention nothing of how all this effort into repackaging the same skin idea into the same champion takes resources away from updating old champions but that's evident.
I just wish Riot wouldn't be content to settle for mid in their skins considering it's the majority of the content the game receives these days. Seeing such a large company that began so small be willing to settle for mediocrity and "Good" enough rather than even trying to push boundaries is just so saddening. Asol finally getting a legendary is cool but it was only after his unorthodox play pattern was executed and he became a popular champion with an even simpler gameplay loop. All of this just feeds into riot appeal to the lowest common denominator which is just so depressing.
Except yone, dear ol rito seems to be trying very hard to get him to Ezreal level of skins
@@Jan_Iedema New champions aren't immune to this phenomenon of Cosmetic rot. Kai'sa is a great example of that as she's only been around for what 4-5 years now? and yet has more skins than most champions release around and before her. The problem is the favoritism. And before anyone says it, YES I AM GOING TO CRITICIZE RIOT for making the bare minimum effort to make as much money as possible. Either spread the love to the champions who rarely get skins, or put the popular champions in unique not-done-before settings or costumes, and if you can't think of any, maybe it's time to stop making skins for them. I am confident that if Ezreal of Lux never received another skin from this point forward, that 95% of their playerbases wouldn't give a single fuck.
The fact that riot only cared about asol after he got free of that hideous old kit is saying something..
Even on reworks! Fiddlesticks had to wait 2 years for a new skin and Skarner is not even released yet despite being already "finished", but god forbid Lee sin or Ezreal can't go 2 months without a new skin
If i had to guess from the concept art shown
@@OldandAbandonedHarcorte preach! Brother
So small company became so large, because Riot was about money from start. You just didn't noticed it simply because of small scale back then and corellation of "money" approach and "game" approach.
I wish we got more Bee skins, the legendary being Bee Sin
I wish we could see a Rapid Fire Skin review of all the Wild Rift Exclusives one day.

Stargazers: Karma, TF, JAX, Camille, Vex, Soraka
Hexplorers: Galio, Shyvana, Teemo, Tristana, Jax
Mythmakers: Camille, GWEN, Caitlyn (+ Prestige), Zoe, Seraphine
Supreme Cells: Sett, Zed, Kennen, Samira, Darius and Akali
Chromacrash: Ekko, Jinx, SAMIRA

Heroes vs Villains: Jayce, Vi, Jhin, Graves
Can you do a Rapid-Fire Skin Review for Wild Rift to? Just to show us all the good skins we are not going to get? :)
I get it's bcuz of the chinese new year but four patches in a row dedicated to china-inspired skinlines can be a lil repetitive. And it shows cuz all the dragonmancers felt lackluster (minus kassadin up to a degree) and the primal ambush suffered a bit due to the champion selection (talon x example).
Heavenscale champion choices does feel a lil too redundant too. Did we needed ANOTHER chinese inspired skin for ezreal and kai sa?
Thank god porcelain managed to be interesting thanks to our beloved diva dragon (cant wait to hear your thoughts on asol legendary btw!). Also the wild rift exclusive skin for asol is quite good all things considered! I got it yesterday and it's quite impressive
I thought I was the only one who noticed the blatant pandering to China and East Asians lol. Nobody ever wants to acknowledge it. It's the same for Valorant unfortunately but what else is new with Tencent/Riot?
Whats the problem with talon? He does fit the primal ambush skinline, same with Vi but the skins were created with no efforts
Primal Ambush is southeast asian inspired but it's very lackluster and ambiguous. I can't even tell which culture they're supposed to represent
@@AQWOMAR9 well the face kiiinda looks like ezreal from a distance
@@CherrieJellyBeanie The main thing is tigers and the forest of south asia...but that's about it.
I think this idea would've been much more better represented with other champions. Like rengar or nidalee, who are already feline champions, instead of putting riven or vi.
When there's a new Ezreal skin, Riot will say nothing, but there will be signals.
Also Porcelain looks so good this year, mainly because no humans took the legendary/prestige but they redeemed the worst Kindred skin into an absolute banger.
Now what we know about the Aurelion legendary skin. holy ITS AMAZING.
love your editing
I can't believe ezreal got 4 skins this patch, 2 of them being prestige!
I'm going to assume this video's editing was done BEFORE Kindred's prestige splash came out cause its eating SO MUCH. Her prestige returns her back to non-human forme and its so GOOD
The amount of effort you put into editing the videos makes them always enjoyable to watch
prestige porcelain kindred actually looks REALLY promising im so happy they fixed her
Ah yes they "fixed" it, by making a "prestige" version that looks exactly like the original slash art that you'll have to buy instead of fixing the first original one, "fixed" lol, lmao
@@Significantharrassment It looks nothing like the original splash art, and not to mention almost every prestige skin splash art looks the same with glorified colors. if you don't like it move on idgaf! they fixed every issue I had with it. If you still got issues that's between you and Riot. I'm allowed to be happy with it.
He said in the text at the end that the skin actually is good
@@kauanjos3199 where?
@@corduroytm at the end of the video
I love your energy man, you are hilarious!
I need you to make a video on all Wild rife reworks plz
Nicky notification pog
Of the Lunar new year skins I really like Smolder and Asol, very fitting for the year of the dragon
new Nicky vid -> depression cured
I just saw A Sol's new skin. Looks really cool!
damn bro that wild rif sol llooks insane
I like how because of one mishap all the women of this line have their *REDACTED* well... Redacted.
What?
Explain yourself good sir
I'm curious, what are you talking about
"No. You can't do this Joker" my inner voice telling me not to tell you
Excited for the new porcelain video after seeing the PBE versions, using a prestige to go back and fix a bot 5 skin in the game makes me happy
I love Heavenscale! I saw the fanmade skins in LoL Weibo, so I hope they'll comeback next year.
Also, I can't wait for the Porcelain this year. 2nd Waves looks good so far. From ASol getting a Legendary, to redeeming the worst Kindred skin with a Prestige.
i just wish riot would give Rell a legendary high noon skin, a project skin to Renata glasc(legendary please), Thresh and Naafiri, and a old god or elderwood legendary to maokai... you know, the TREE champion, that ins't on a WOOD themed skinline :/
edit: Naafiri is already getting a project skin xd, and i think battlecast Maokai would be cool too.
So excited for the Aurelion Sol skin! I actually really like porcelain and my current favourite champ, who I wasn’t even expecting to get anything, is getting a legendary?! Im actually so happy :D
I love how you showed Porcelain Kindred just for her to get a redemption arc in that skinline with an awesome prestige skin.
"Lets hope we get more like Lissandra and less like Kindred"
Anytime we get these lines, it’s no surprise that it’s one monster ish champ that’s maybe close to the appropriate year(sometimes) and then all the favorite Chinese beloved champions. We know the reason and it’s fine. Hell most of them look great but originality? Good luck
I bet Lee Sin skin is the ASU rig packed as a legendary and sold a few months in advance
im still waiting for a dragon theme xayah and rakan, cause imagine the cape as a half-dragon wing and when the goy to base the fly together idk (completely biased as a xayah main)
League of Legends truly is the gift that keeps on giving ... skins based on popularity.
Damn, now I wanna see this skin theme on Kassadin or Galio
3:00 Is THaT my boi Radicalsoda?!!
Me: avid Janna enjoyer, who loves when zephyr looks cool.
My prime capsule: here have this baby dragon with a terrifying looking face instead you’ll love it :)
I got the event chromas for both skins (pink is my favorite color after all) in the hopes of one day owning the Janna skin, but also to make smolder look more terrifying but pink
ngl, im kinda sad primal ambush didn't got a video, out of the four it was the one a liked most
I get you’re eating your words now after seeing the Aurelion Sol skin
I’m just happy that Ezreal and Kai’Sa have skins in the same universe, where they also have a level of interaction.
Review the wild rift dragon lantern and lunar celestial skins!!
1:51 Oh god, Urist is invading other channels now
It's hard to say Riot isn't appealing primarily to China when we get four Lunar New Year skins all designed to appeal to "popular champion XD" characters that are popular in China.
Well well well how the tables have turned from the rapid fire skin review of soul fighters wave 2
OK now hear me out: Earth Dragon Ornn skin based on the flightless dragon trope.
crazy thing is that prestige porcelain kindred is actually cool as hell
They fixed Porcelain Kindred with the Prestige Version, I'm quite happy about that.
Riot also didnt make a shyvana skin for either one of the lunar new year skins
I get the idea of popular champions getting into skins more often than others, it's a business at the end of the day the day but..
C'mon Riot. Swain, Shyvana and Neeko literally have he exact thing you were describing in your lore.
The kindred prestige looks fire compared to whatever normal porcelain kindred is supposed to be
What I low-key love about ezreal is that he reminds me of Nero from dmc because of the dragon hand lmao
This skin line really is "Champion favouritism doesn't exist what are you talking about?"
Glad to see Trick coupled with a hair problem.
ABSOLUTELLYY RAAAAAAPIIIIDD SKIN FIREEEE REVIEW
one of your best video man
i died from laught whit your edit, aniway im waiting you for porcelain skin
3:00 IS THAT A RadicalSoda REFERENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am hyped for Porcelain Asol at least
The lunar revel and the new porceline skin lines are just the "we need to make a quick buck" skin line
i hope they take a crack at more western ideas of a dragon in some skinlines
An udyr skin would’ve been awesome seeing him turn into different types of dragons swith his R having wing’s. What a miss opportunity especially how popular his recently starting to be
Nick what are your thoughts on the dragon lantern skins in wild rift?
what if briar was the legendary, Having the idea tha she really wants to have that human interaction since she usually is allowed to parties, then messes up upon going beserk and turning back into a dragoon.
changing her from a hemo-monstrosity into the wierd dragon individual they bring.
Yo, was that a Radical Soda reference I saw?
Prestige Porcelain Kindred is actually pretty good.
Tbf though from the start of the video, as much as I hate porcelain kindred, her prestige and sol's new skin look great
Just another batch of skins that I will completely forget by next month.
Maybe except for Smolder.
I think it works well enough as a skin line (ESPECIALLY Smolder) but the simple fact we're now (as mentioned in the video) TRIPLE DIPPING INTO LEGENDARY TERRITORY that alone honestly makes me dislike the skins.
All I can think when I hear "over 100 champions dont even have one" is think 'why don't they just give the unplayed champions more attention? If you buffed numbers the slightest amount to make someone like Skarner or Kled as viable as Yasuo or Lux MAYBE they'd get played more!' but we all know the real reason the top 30 are the only ones getting skins: money. Whales will gladly spend $40 for Lux's 20th skin and that knowledge saddens me.
wow i actually like this guy
The only redeeming part of Shan Hai Scrolls Yuumi, is that some chromas make Smolder just look like a straight up puppy, and that's adorable
Woops
Personally I think bel’veth would be perfect for this skin line with the whole hiding what you really are with a human form
Omfg, Smolder is just Spyro in disguise. Why didn't I see it???!!
Honestly, fuck riot for ignoring other champions who could fit so many thematics like Galio on this one or even Udyr, the latter hurts me the most because Ink Shadow wasn't that good
the legendary skin situation is sad to me bc some times there is a awesome tematic that a champion being part of should award him a legendary, to me for example, the most moon related champion of the game, diana, took many ''come backs'' of the bloodmoon theme to get her skin, and it wasnt legendary, kayle, THE SUN EATER, central part of the whole theme got an epic skin, not only they misfit champions into skin lines, but often they choose the legendary skin receiver wrong imo
If only there was a dragon that looked like a human someone whos from demacia and doesnt have a legendary and couldve gotten it here in a themaric that fits her perfectly
I just like how the diana skin looks
Bro Bel'veth would have been amazing for this skinline
Thank god we're on the good timeline where the prestige of Porcelain Kindred is passable, good even!
Riot: porcelain Kindred gets a Prestige.
Everyone: oh no another bad prestige Skin.
The Skin:🔥
So year of the dragon... no skin for shyvana. As a shyv main, I am extremely hurt rn.
good
Red Packet money go brrrr.
Ghoul Kindred is so fucking funny to me
still waiting for a good skin for ornn
kai'sa got 13 skins including two prestige, 3 tft tactitians + is the champion that is the most showcased in high quality LoLanimations when she was released 6 years ago but people will shit themselves and cry when and old champion like Lux get one skin a year
Kindred's prestige skin is literally Riot taking all of the criticism and feedback from the old Porcelain Kindred and turning that into a skin. It's fucking awesome.
oh the hate on the prestige kindred will not age well, they really fixed the issues with it
when he was explaining heavenscale's backstory it sounded the exact same as lunar revel 💀
Lagoon dragoons!!!
Porcelain 2.0 actually looks very good. They fixed kindred like holy shit
Seems like some one has to make Q1 profit goals i see.
All the champs I play have no legendary skins so seeing ezreal in the botlane have a new skin every 2 months sure is refreshing 😅
As a kai'sa player I genuinely don't know if any of her skins change with the evolutions. Her legendary skin should have noticeable differences with the evos and the idea of her becoming more draconic in a legendary skin sounds so amazing. I'd trade the disappointment that is star guardian kai'sa for it in a heartbeat, take inkshadow too for that matter just give me a skin worth being called a legendary
porcelain asol is fucking awesome
Wild rift just added aatrox prestige exclusive that costs 300£
