I need a fright night Briar skin where she becomes a werewolf when she frenzies
That’s genius
Problem is... There is already a werewolf in the fright night universe...
@@elpunoenojao4842make her a werecat
@@elpunoenojao4842no, that's a wolfman, which is the middle point between a human and a werewolf. So, yeah, maybe she can also be a wolfman but when she uses her W she is a full werewolf and when she ults she throws a bone or a stick because FUNNY
it won't happen, riot doesn't make cool stuff like that anymore
The transition from Briar to Jax 💀
right through, the counter strike
jax of all characters didnt deserve to get this meme, its a funny meme, but why the wholesome jax
@@janbertguerrero6988 REDDIIIIIT
@@janbertguerrero6988 I hope it goes away next year like holy fuck jax does not deserve this
lmao
You walk passed void grubs in the river while playing as elise all you hear is
“Get me pictures of spider-woman!”
Mine are not for kids sadly
@@khadajhin send them, J.J Jameson can make a story of the menace spider-woman being in the adult industry
i can't believe nicky forgot to talk about neeko's CGU. she must've been super well hidden.
Neeko is not a sad tomato…she is a strong tomato!
3:38
Nah Nicky just doesn't know how to count minion waves
I think someone said this in Nicky's casual review of Briar. They mentioned that Briar's legs being big makes sense since she spends most of her time with her hands chained up, so outside of her frenzy mode, she primarily uses her legs for basically everything. That actually makes sense and kinda fixed the awkwardness of her proportions in my eyes.
It would for me as well if Riot ever did things like this for a design reason instead of being just for sexy. Like Sylas being jacked as f*ck even though he was literally starving while in prison.
@@felipecouto1102 the power of revenge (and plot armor) keeps him healthy.
bro just uses his ult to steal other people's food
I wouldn't call having thick legs and a small torso/arms "awkward proportions" since people like that *do* exist. The issue was Riot trying to make up bs reasons why they designed her that way instead of just owning up to wanting to make her attractive, which is fine.
@@felipecouto1102he’s like uncle Iroh 🔥💪🏼😎
How bout i give you 5 bucks, and you upload an hour earlier, eh? Man's gotta sleep at that hour
(This is a joke, but I would do it)
Same
20 dollars and he will do it
Yeah
I like this idea
With Naafiri I just assumed she got split because she tried to fuse with multiple creatures that touched it at the same time.
I had the impression that her dagger was part flesh or something. It wasn't just a metal blade; it had some meaty center that could be 'bitten into' and torn apart
@@strawberrybird Aatrox's sword has a beating heart and and Rhaast's scythe also has an eye. We've just gotta assume these seemingly organic parts are just made of some magic, malleable metal.
I'd have assumed that it only corrupted the alpha of the wolves and he was strong enough to grow the dogma of Naafiri into them.
@@dafroakie9984 seeing how kayn's scythe changes it's desing when transforming into rhaast and aatrox sword resized itself to fit his new form, it's quite possible that they're changing their form with hemomancy, so both weapons and prob all darkin weapons are part meat and blood.
I always saw it as figuratively speaking. Like how packs are seen as one being by always being synchronized. The dagger never “broke”, it just shows how a one of the packs (could be the leader) consumes the dagger fusing with the dagger bringing a long the pack together forming one being.
"what a way to end the season." - no
"what a Hwei to end the season." - yes
The entire Malphite bit at 0:55 felt like a direct attack at me
I genuinely believe Nicky not getting LPP at this point is an inside joke at Riot hq at this point
I'm really not one to talk about different champions because I'm a support main, so to no big suprise Milio was my favorite this year. He's adorable and I have a lot of fun playing him! And he's also very similiar to a brazillian mascot, so we call him Baianinho. Great video as always!!
Yes please you should include the ASUs in the rewinds, especially to tell us what you think of their model, if it fulfills and sells the fantasy and is consistent with the already established lore of the champion and what aspects you like and what aspects you don't like about the approach that Riot gave to the champion at the ASU
Time to put this out in the aether, ever since Briar came out, me and my friend group have taken to calling her Jack the Gripper, thank you, happy cursed new year!
Oh my
And the Riot fired 70% of their staff lol
I agree about the older champion updates. Updating older champions means they can be used more in story and other events instead of being left go rot and getting one patch update a year
Me: *Saw Ahri, clicks the thumbnail.*
Nickyboi: 11:33
Watching this after the layoffs at riot 💀
“Briar is a bit of a mixed iv bag for me”
You thought we wouldn’t notice that huh nick
So, I found you through your collab with Necrit, and I'm happy to say I've found another League tuber to watch. Thank you for the fun video =) I think 2023 was a great season for League., and so far 2024 season is feeling great.
Naafiri and Briar are my favourites. I really want to see a Briar and Rell team up roaming Noxus, righting wrongs until one day they realise...fuck those guys...and go live somewhere better.
YEAH 😭 i wish briar and rell had voicelines
I really like Briar everything about her
The design
The gameplay
The voicelines
But holy shit is it clear that she's some artists poorly disguised fetish
Ah yes, the classic Good Cop x Cannibal Cop relationship. They'd leave no trace, since Rell could clean up the leftover armor and weapons, while Briar cleanse up... everything else...
The maniacly edited Jhin laughter gets me in every video
Every single year these recaps become funnier and funnier. You do such an amazing job and i love seeing your effort in these videos as always! Have a fun 2024 and stay awesome!
The editing in this video is top notch.
Naafari is my favorite because her voicelines are incredible, the design is sleek and sharp, her music slaps and you can pet the Doggo! Every game I play, it’s just so fun barking at champs and then they go poof.
I am both a massive fan of Asol's current kit being thematic, AND also someone who kinda stopped playing after losing the old kit. Yeah its better, but I will miss the unique kit that was never banned.
asol new kit feels more like he's pissed and will destroy everyone for imprisoning him... which feels extremely apt for his lore haha
I enjoy how the rework added new lore for asol but deep inside I’m still a sad old asol main. I dunno the game just isn’t as fun anymore but I’m happy more people are enjoying him.
Same but not a fan of the current kit. Sacrificing identity for accessibility is generally a bad move, specially when the problem is people's skill issue more than the kit itself. Not every champion is for everyone. RIP true Asol.
10:25 I was just talking to my friend about this the other day. I did some digging and determined that champion quality became consistent right about Gnar’s release. At that point, Riot should of had a dedicated team solely focused on updating the older roster as they released new champions.
So as champions like Jhin and Neeko were being released, you go visual updates for the other champions like Alistar and Vayne releasing the same patch as them. Then you could worry about CGU’s later.
Alternate timeline though.
Hwei actually seems like a SIMPLIFIED version of Invoker, whose spells are less "differently shaped damage box with maybe a debuff" or "support" and more "invis or summon armor-stripping minions or giant manastealing burst or attack speed buff or global skillshot or weird-ass stun or tornado that makes enemies indestructable or-" and every one of those abilities functions differently depending on how much you've invested in each color ._.
God damn does he earn the title Arsenal Mage
Dota is so weird (and not in a good way IMO, I can't say it's objectively bad because it isn't but it's such an awkward game)
@@Yoshyguy21 As someone who played just about every MOBA, dota is the one I spent the most time with and kept coming back to. Its slower pace, deeper systems and strategic gameplay are certainly an adjustment, especially for someone coming from league, but I found it to be far more rewarding and I like their balance and design teams a LOT more than LoL's. With LoL it seemed like there some new obvious fuckup or terrible cashgrab decision every couple weeks. Dota's not as flashy, but it disn't feel like an abusive relationship.
Then again, no game is for everyone. I'm sure there are plenty of people for whom League is the more enjoyable experience. There are still parts of it I miss.
@@Yoshyguy21 It's a different ecosystem of MOBAs. The example I use is Starcraft compared to Age of Empires. Starcraft is the 1000 APM game where you go hyperspeed on the micro, while AoE is a much slower game where long term decisions, careful planning, and efficiency wins in the long run, making it more macro oriented.
League is a game where you spam skillshots at light speed, nuke people in 1.2 seconds, and teamfights look like a supernova condensed into 6 second window, where every small advantage leads to a snowball in the right hands, and where speed and intensity are king. Dota is a game where there is room for mistakes because of it's ample versatility/variety due to items and MANY, MANY mechanics, which makes it so that an advantageous early game can quickly be flipped back by playing the map the right way and itemizing around your given situation.
The two games service the two different ends of the MOBA community, League for people that want to go fast and hit hard, Dota for people that want to have slower but far more calculated and measured engagements. Hwei is the perfect example. As a person that has more time in Dota than League, Hwei is incredibly simple compared to his Dota counterpart - but that's fine! Great even, as Invo's complexity would not work in League, while Hwei's much simpler and more directly intense kit would not fit in Dota.
@@dekhain3284 Yeah, I'm definitely more into designs that are more direct and self-contained, DotA's just too crazy and has too many elements for me (and yeah, I can't deny the fact that I'm not into the many long cooldowns it has)
@@Yoshyguy21 And that's a-okay! I hate the garbage rivalry that MOBAs have, since the only common point between 'em is the genre and their origins. The two games are so vastly different that it's bound to attract different crowds, and it's great that there is a home for both groups. I personally love both, although I sometimes get exhausted by the (to me) stupid level of nuking that League has. Whoops, the Kha'Zix jumped me, guess my 3 tank items mean nothing when a Q eats half my HP. But hey, Dota has it's own bullshit.
Looking at you, Meepo mains.
tbh as much as I hate Ionia and I wish we finally got a damn Bilgewater champion (please riot I do not count Nilah, it has been over half a decade since we got a pirate) the last champion that came from there came out 3 years ago, and in the meantime we got
- 3 champions from shurima (akshan, naafiri and you can shoehorn K'Sante being from Nazumah which is in Shurima)
- 3 shadow isles champions (void event)
- 3 noxians (samira is included in noxus here but she could be counted into shurima just as much).
- 2 Zaunites (in a row may I add)
- 1 from ixtal + Skarner being announced before that
- 1 void champion
- 1 piltoverian champion
- 1 from camavor if you include nilah into that (Kathkan is close enough)
I do realise ionia is the biggest and most overloaded champion region but tbh we have seen a lot of inclusion from other regions, and so far from what we know no future champions are scheduled to be from that region. The reason why everyone is still sighning from Ionian champion release is back from the [dark] times of 2020 where they would be released in literal waves + because many people like me fucking despise most champions from that region.
But honestly seeing one Ionian release in that time schedule is more than reasonable. Especially if its like Hwei who somehow isn't ionian and doesn't make me want to off myself when I'm playing against hmi.
I absolutely love these videos from you and I agree with just about everything you said here! I also play a lot of simpler champs with Pantheon, ASol, and Kayn being my mains but I absolutely adore playing Hwei!
The fact new asol doesnt use stars in his new abilities is criminal
Honestly I think banger releases for those of us that play the game casually, this year was the definition of verity
Good one, love when you take your time to make this quality videos possible :D
YOOOO DUDE amazing work once again!!! Your champion rewinds are always the best! ❤❤
I thought Hwei was going to be released in season 2024 since Rell was left out from season 2020
there was no preseason this time because of the ranked splits
@@lvl5goon598oh ok that explains it! Thank you for clarifying 😊
a thing i like to do with briar is taking her to aram and go tank. her e heals her so much i can just get in, stun someone important, and displace everyone in the enemy team, and then spread bleeding to the carries. i generally don't like being THE carry, i like to have fun, and that playstyle is very fun to me.
2:13
That's how I imagined that scene when I first saw it
As always, what an incredible work !
I've been waiting for this. I always enjoy these rewinds.
Damn naafiri and briar theme slaps
What the actual F?! Thank you so much for featuring me!!! LOL. I have a whole playlist of the League of Legends champions walking animation if you want to see the rest. It's in alphabetical order and we're currently at J. I'm planning on doing them all.
aurelion sol rework still haunts my nightmares god i just want to wake up and realize the whole thing was just a foul dream. just wretched
amazing music choices nicky
Uuuugggh Aurelion's theme will never not give me goosebumps with how good that build is
Really well made video, enjoyed it!!!
⚠️ SKARNER ACTIVITY ⚠️
I have mastery 7 with Hwei playing him as Support, gotta say, he is amazing and super fun once you get in the right mindset. Is soo good when you pull out the right spells for the right situations but expect a lot of salt from your team if you make the smallest of mistakes.
19:38
"she had childlike proportions"
*less than 15 seconds later*
"her thighs are illogically enormous"
this is missing wayy too much context
"The splash art shows Briar with child-like proportions"
I mean, her thighs are wider than her torso in the splash art too
She also has adult proportioned hips and visibly developed breasts (oh how I hate having to phrase it that way, but it feels less skeevy.) Frankly, anyone who thinks she looks like a child in her splash is fooling themselves.
Hate how I have to wait a year for these. Wanna binge these NOW.
31:07 like they did the exact oppisite thing with spyro in it, where while trying to make him cool in the monster direction they forgot he already had the charm in his facial structure.
I was a bit suprised that Nicky doesnt like Enchanter Gameplay as he talks about Milio. Because his most played Champion ist Ivern and he is an Enchanter. But then i remembered he plays him AP Mid😂
Another banger recap.
Great stuff Nicky.
19:00 he cropped the bottom of the splash art lmao
Also it really sucks that Jax’s reputation is ruined by the community. He’s a cool character in lore
i actually loved naafiri to be honest,even if her lore is batshit insane on mistakes,her concept is really fun,her design is a huge W for me,and her kit is decent
i just wanna know wat da dog doin
Hey Nicky, thank you so much for making me laugh today, needed that
That was really good. Yours champion rewind are always bangers, Nickyboy.
I've always seen you through others videos, but saw this pop up on my feed and decided to give this a go, just subbed. Why ? monster hunter music. Good taste :) and some wrestling references. gj gj
naafiri is my first time on an assassin and i love her so much. shes such a cool character and i love her lines.
5:37 Perhaps the goofiest edit I’ve ever seen
Didn't knew about this Jax situation 💀
Now you know.
And we both have to live with one of the most likable and Based Champions lore-wise and character-wise being treated as lower than dirt, because of his „player-base”
Starting 2024 with a new ending song btw, amazing choice. Really like it!
what's the song name? it's incorrect in the description
great job!
Loving the Fulgore music in the background of the Briar section lol
To be honest, I like all the champions that got out this year, it was the first time in a bit since I had fun with all the releases in a year.
I'm literally just in the Ambessa Medarda & Shyvana VGU waiting room right now, everything else that comes out is just icing.
OH HELL YES
The Neeko update got me back into league after many months of not playing it. non stop playing her the most fun I’ve ever had But Briar got me staying in league, she was very fun, and I 100% agree with everything you said. But she’s also the most fun I’ve had in a long time next to the Neeko rework. She was my first summoners first Penta and even got a level 7 Master on her! Briar is fun to main
Best thing about this vid is that it introduced me to the amazing themes they have been giving these new champs. It is a shame we don't get to hear them in client since the removal of log-in animations.
Really appreciate the edit at 16:25 lmao
I main Hwei and for me, Hwei is a fun champion. The thrill on which right skill you need to use in teamfights, I just love him ✨
(I play Hwei Support)
You know it's a good video when it makes you laugh in the first second.
For an amazing 2024!!
Jhinhwei supremacy
Best LoL ship cannot wait to see the r34 fanart. 😊
Sett and aphelios better
Dude I had to rewatch at least twice about Briar when the Max edit showed up. And Killer instinct music?! Noice.
Can't wait for next season!
Big fan of all of these new champions
you are correct nicky, i clicked on the video because i saw ahri in the thumbnail
i was going to watch it anyways later this week but seeing my otp gave me an extra sense of urgency
So funny thing about Pangolier from DOTA 2: he came out way after Rammus and had a very similar kit to Rammus (his ult was literally Rammus Q)... but then Riot stole Pango's W and made it Rammus' new ult.
Very cool mr nicky boi, very cool indeed
I can’t get over the sky landers memes in every video it’s amazing
Yes. Thank you. That's exactly what I thought when I saw Smolder. Even the name sounds like a Skylanders name and the body/head fit the proportion of most Skylanders dragons perfectly.
1:00 in skaners theme malphite had a different look when skarner pick him up with his ult. Malphite might have a secret visual update.
To explain why Riot gave Loren Soleo a maxed out difficulty rating: Play two games of him, one where you are feigning being bad (Actively go out of your way to use abilities at the wrong time) and one where you are trying your best to stack and play well. Watch the difference between a good and a bad Sol. A bad Aurelion can be the reason you lose, while a good one can be the reason you win. He is extremely stack reliant to be able to do anything, and not having the stacks you need is a death sentence for your team.
As an aside: GIVE US NICKY'S CASSIOPEIA REDESIGN! DO THE SNEK FANS JUSTICE!!!
I love monster/creature characters, I like Darkins, I like Assassins and I love dogs so Naafiri looked perfect to me. I thought she was going to be my favorite champion released this year and one of my favorites in general.
But I didn't engaged too much with her and ended up liking Briar way more both in terms of character and gameplay.
Can't wait
Hwei is like the super simplified version of invoker except invokers abilities have to be made and are dramatically different like summoning meteors or tornados causing emps or calling the literatal sun to attack you
Hey! I would love Hwei being an older man, to really show he has empirical knowledge in his art.
He got that TADC outro music.
It's Amazing
The Milio ult description that essentially boils downs to “nUhHuH” had me dying 💀
14:10 i like how he uses the gekko theme song for this
As someone who only gets to play periodically every few years, videos like this are really helpful!!!!!!
Man i love john johna and jamosan,my favourite league trio almost as good as iv nick and daisy
Here’s to another crazy year for League🎉
the MHW music at the end took me back omg, the joy and relief of hearing that music after a 49 minute hunt
I have the exact same book and I was so confused why Ixtal had little to no info on it and it kinda pissed me off cause I wanted a good story with it
New Outro jumpscare let’s good Nicky
itsrewindtime
Still my fav year BY FAR because briar and arena full stop
I got Briar to M7 in 2 days and took her to Diamond with I think 68% wr? idr and was fun af currently like #3 NA for her mastery #11 globally so yeahhh played a bit of her sadly I dropped back down to emerald and wr dropped down to 56%
30 min??
I will enjoy this🎉
