Now hear me out a Christmas skin for ivern where daisy is Santa and he's a snowy pine or a nother Christmas tree. Elder god fiddlesticks and others also tiger Yumi,rengar, and nidallie
i don't even play PC league anymore but i felt fucking robbed when my main fiddle doesn't get a skin ON 2 SKINLINES THAT WOULD'VE FIT HIM. AND WHAT DO WE GET THIS YEAR? FUCKING BEE-DLESTICKS (riot you better not mess up the bee skin for fiddle istg).
@@boiya9327 i can see the possibility but seeing the past skinlines... there's a lot of missed potential. Plus if i want to use a joke skin, I'd go surprise party fiddlesticks instead.
The TF skin hit me hard. I voted for that skinline because TF is such an iconic character and deserves a real legendary skin, not one that was made ages ago and wouldnt sell for 975 rp these days.
I actually voted cause of the Miss Fortune and Kai'sa concepts, like omg MF just looked bad ass as fuck, also Akali was a huge disappointement, they showed us some concepts for her W with some red and stuff but all they did was a simple W where they later on added some eye.pngs
I had no horse in this race what-so-ever, because I voted Monster Tamer and the others were just meh to me. But even I was disappointed that the TF wasn't legendary. The concept is cool, but they just aren't spooky enough to sell the idea. They actually look more like Debonair than the 2.0 skins do...
the fact that his legendary skin exclusive in wild rift is so good, I can only imagine what a nightmare tf would look like in pc. What a missed opportunity for sure!
i remember only noticing they when they came out but never saw anyone playing with them, for good reason, my god they are ugly i don't know how they manage to make jayce look great on the skin line but completely butcher garen that makes a bit of sense there as Lux brother.
It makes sense for most of these champions to be physically fit. I didn't mind sexy Debonair Malzahar because... Well that's kind of the point of the skin line. To take champions, stick em in suits and high class outfits, and let em be sexy. Considering most if not all of his other skins have him completely covered up, I think the Debonair skin brings something new to his aesthetic. And then there's Project Sylas, lol. Doesn't fit the vibe of other Project skins at all.
Yorick's been done dirty this entire year. Not only did Riot mess up the pentakill skin, they also completely boned Yorick in the Ruination event. Yorick's *entire existence* is about fighting against the mist. Then when there's an event centered around the idea of *fighting the mist* , he's nowhere to be found??? Oh nvm, he got a whole three lines of dialogue that *immediately contradict his lore* ! (For those who don't know, Yorick gives the Sentinels each a drop of his holy water basically. Yet in Yorick's lore it's specified that losing even a single drop of it would result in Yorick dying, and Yorick has let people die before rather than give away any of his water)
I know right. The only good thing Yorick got this year were his buffs, and then they immediately had to nerf him. Still appreciate the E summoning ghouls and Tower not prioritizing Maiden anymore though.
as a nami main i was so upset that they made her so., human in the bewitching skin. i saw a comment when it came out that said “if you cut off namis bottom half and told me this was a lux skin i would have believed you wholeheartedly.” and i totally agree
yeah but Amumi's just a boy. Yorick's a straight white (as far as Pentakill is concerned) man who's the perfect punching bag for current day.@@lorinctoth9402
But Yorick got royally fucked over the whole of 2021, the pentakill music video was the closest thing we will ever get to Yorick teaming up with a party and beating viego.
As an ex league player, I'm saddened they never added the hat to that skin...my guy yorick never gets anything, he's just there. It truly makes his line "What hell is worst than this limbo" very accurate.
I love how Riot basically ignored the entire concept of a poll (most people voting for something is what people want) and gave the debonair, the second place, more love because apparently that’s how a poll works. Come on Rito, it’s not a crime to focus on sales but if you are going to do it like this why even fucking bother with the other countries voting anyway?
Well, China has over 100 million players, other servers might have 3 million players, so in reality debonair won because a lot more Chinese people voted it
I personally hate Ruiend Pantheon because the skin dont care about the point of pantheon which is having a very strong will that help him stand up to a god. Then an edgy emo boy comes and say "Now you are under my control". WHAT? Why is this canon?
I always interpreted it as PANTHEON, as in the celestial that died while inhabiting Atreus's body, was revived with the Black Mist and took back over. HE was the one that was Ruined and not Atreus. Thus the Prestige skin is Atreus having the will to break from Pantheon a SECOND time. Of course the Sentinels of Light event is so vague in the canon now, who knows what actually happened? They barely had time for Viego, let alone Pantheon.
@@phoenixflamegames1 Idk but you have to admit the Black Mist resurrecting a dead god is metal as hell That said I do think the recent Pantheon story on Universe made up for it.
as far as cotumes generally go, ive just kinda assumed that they function similarly as the mulitverse spiderman does. they get portaled in and somewhere somewhen missfortune stayed a pirate and went ghost hunting instead of putting her boots up for a bit to tanle with graves.
the thing is, that's true to the majority of the skins, all from different world os the champs, but not for that set of sentinels, ruination and human thresh skins as they are canon to the universe (unless they decide to completely retcone it after the disaster that the event was)
I know the Syndra mains nutted for Bewitching Syndra. Having Syndra throw pumpkins was such an obvious choice. Thing is that Syndra's design is admittedly kinda boring as just "witch who throws stuff" so giving her a "witch that throws pumpkins" skin was obvious. It's harmless. Not good not bad. Bewitching Nami and Fiora however? They're trash lmao.
The Crime City Nightmare and Debonair makes me so mad. It’s so obvious riot is just pandering to a Chinese audience. Imagine if we actually got a legendary TF skin or some other champions into crime city nightmare. Imagine Crime City Swain or any other champ that fits that theme. It’s so frustrating
Crime City (the skinline formally known as mafia) Swain is a concept the fans have been doing for literal years. Since I hate the rework and stay loyal to OGSwain like Grey Friars Bobby to his dead owner, no skin he gets will ever be good, but even I can admit he fits the world perfectly.
Riot always does this in a skinline. They never give the legendary to the champions who actually make the most sense in the skinline or are the most important to the skinline lore. It’s ridiculous.
I would have taken any single one of these, and they did none. Although it is weird that there was a Yuumi emote in the style of a skin....but no Yuumi skin? Was it delayed?
@@akaliislifeakaliislove5968 as long as you apply some manipulation to it, it is not a problem with copyright even if the case goes to court (the way it is in America).

The only problem is when there is too much similarity or it potentially applies politics aka libel which is not something to worry about with the LoL IP in terms of application of a skin (especially to Yuumi which is inherently an apolitical character in the lore). It's a little complicated but depending on implementation it could go right through. They are releasing monster tamer skins or whatever it is called which might as well be called the Pokemon line, but since they are making certain adjustments to the designs, it is considered non-infringing.

@@SiMeGamer fair. I was sceptical because I remember the Striker Lucian case where riot got sued for making him look too much like a football player even though it's just lucian with goggles and in a football outfit
As a Yorick main, even though I love Pentakill 3 Yorick (it has a brighter vibe that makes him feel more badass than Pentakill 1 where he was like random tombstone man) the thing that upsets me the most isn't the hat, it's the fact that there is no background music playing while your ult is alive like they did with Resistance Yorick, I was hoping I'd get to destroy towers while listening to Pentakill, and I was realy disapointed
You know, 2022 has barely begun but I can already say with confidence that Porcelain Kindred will be featured as a top 10 worst skins of 2022. That thing is an abortion, and a far cry from the majestic skin Spirit Blossom Kindred is. Where Spirit Blossom Kindred managed the incredible feat of delivering on BOTH the cute sim dating anime character and the fearsome Incarnation of Death while also featuring amazing special effects and a gorgeous splash art. Porcelain decided to throw Wolf to the fucking side, make Lamb a boring cute anime character once again but without the symbolism that came with the reinterpretation of the Kindred tale with Spirit Blossom as a frail humanoid character rather than a frail lamb, and worst of all, make it look fucking boring. What a astounding failure of a skin.
Honestly I love Kindred too and I don't mind the skin, I just hate how they seem to always put them next to cash cows then proceed to give said cash cow the legendary and/or prestige skin. I bet if Riot actually made them a legendary if could finally be lamb and wolf, not lamb and her little sidekick wolf.
I love how the lamb and wolf are thematically ying and yang...and in this skin they have like two koi fish to represent that??? So the lamb is just a girl with elf ears and hooves and the wolf is just there ??? Idk this skin is so bad it hurts, the ult is cool but that is not Kindred.
Stop ruining monster champs... Not everything needs to be human :'( nami, thresh, brand, wukong, etc... you can let them be non-human and still fit cute/fancy skins. Like bewitching nami would be amazing if she was a deep sea creature with a more halloween tone.
Honestly, Nami is so pretty despite being a literal fish woman. My favorite skins for her are the ones where they give her different fishy attributes while making her aesthetic as hell. And then there's Splendid Staff. Her most boring skin. We all know what generic mermaids look like, Riot. What makes Nami special is the fact that she's a full on fish woman. Just let the fish be fish.
@@charliepea they deadass make her sclera white now. The single different feature on her face was her sclera being black lmfao but can’t have it I guess, too inhuman.
@@charliepea I think they could keep her fishy without giving her the "lux" face. They should have kept her fishy up top like they usually do imo, it just takes a lot away from what she is to give her human skin and look like... that.
I mean, Am I the only one to like Gwen’s skin. Her release skin is very bad for my taste but this one suits her perfectly. I love the forks on ult and the effect on Q and mist. Overall, I really enjoy it ;-;
Well you may like her skin but to me the design itself is downright boring and cliche because we see so many anime characters to have a maiden cloths but her in-game skill effect are not bad.
I love Gwen, as I follow Lolita fashion since more than 10+ years ago, I relate so much to her design. For that I love even more Cafe Cutie Gwen. While I dislike her secondary skin so much.
the thematic is actually fitting in my opinion, she's a doll after all. And I like the skin, while her release skin was so dumb I wouldn't play it even if I had it
The toggle option on skins SHOULD be a mechanic, cuz there's TONS of skins now with hoods, masks, and yes, HATS that the characters either wear or DON'T in game. God forbid we cover our bases to futureproof content.
On behalf of the Yorick main community I'd like to extend our thanks to you for bringing light to the devastating situation that is Yorick not having the hat he deserves, much appreciated
A sad thing is that human thresh and xerath had potential. They were both human once and,from a lore perpective, it could have been interesting to see how thresh looked like back then and Xera could have given us insight to how Shurima people dressed thousand of years ago. lore heavy and interesting concepts ditched to have Thresh/Xerath with abs...really...
FUN fact about Lunar Beast skin line! Ruby Chroma for Viego's skin makes him look like Dante! For this reason alone, skin is worth it on him. Too bad it's locked behind a 3k RP paywall.
@@Yetiii23 yes the skin is great and all but the mask make the whole point of death is mysterious is fucking gone. Don’t you talk about spirit blossom cause she only removed her mask when she is recalling.
as a Yorick main we are burden but also blessed with his little attention since no one knows how to play against us but we also don't get many buffs and the last buff we got was immediately nerfed and made the ghoul ad ratios lower than it was before the initial buff
I really don’t like when riot puts two champions in the same splash. The characters aren’t given a real chance to shine on their own unless you’re actually playing them and it makes them kinda boring :/
Just had a afk zyra in aram, and it took forever til we could ff.... and then 1 person said no. I just straight up left the game and opened yt and god im happy to see you posted a video
So on board with number 9 here. It was one of the first major skin lines where I *really* started to see some same face syndrome coming out of Riot where I couldn't figure out who at least one of the champions were just by looking, and that problem has only gotten worse
I disagree but that's understandable. Personally, I find it boring if in every skin Lamb was, well, a lamb. Seeing how not every depiction of them needs to be an animal
Damn bro Its like Lamb could be something else entirely different in a different skin thats based on a different universe. Would it be super fucking funny if Lamb was always a lamb in every skinline she has? It would be extremely boring and ends up being repetitive since every skin she'll have is "Another version of her default skin"
0:30 I'm not going to make a video about skins that look bad in game. Proceeds to make a video where half of the skins look bad in game. Absolute chad. Subscribed
to be fair, that skin line is fine, there's nothing super horrible with them, for me they just scream "skin theme made to put champs we don't want to make skins for" just like the elements skin line
Reason I enjoy your personal opinions about the games you talk about I am studying game design and Im hoping to be in the game development industry. And your take / opinions of the design of your favorite game is always enjoyable and insightful to listen to. So.....i like to take notes XD
A missed potential skin would be debonair azir because they 1 could have made him hot human like malazahar to piss the community off and made his sla- i mean soldiers into like waiters in tuxes and stuff.
The TF skin annoyed me. It's still a good skin, but it should have been a legendary considering he sold the skinline, he's the main antagonist, and could have looked better.
> Be Riot > Spend all year excluding Yorick from his own lore > Don't even give him a relevant lore skin > Finally give him an event skin, but don't include the iconic hat, even though said skin is an homage to Slash of Guns'N'Roses (seriously, look at a side by side of him and the og Pentakill Yorick) "Damn, I really don't get why people don't like Yorick. If only there was something we could do..."
Say its because im a Gwen main, but I like cafe cuties. Not typically my style, but it's got good SFX, the outfit flows Really well and the abilites look really good. It's just a massive improvement over space groove for me.
As a Nami main, I have to agree that the Bewitching Nami splash art looks boring, though in game the VFX are really good and wasn't half assed like the design Also I still love Old God Malphite, even though his model is clucky as fuck, they still did an amazing job with what they could
Aight we have totally different opinions. Bewitching is great. Especially Elise's little pumpkin spiders. You set up old god malphite like it was going to look awful in game, then you showed it, and I was like, "wait that's sick"
Yes, the first Pentakill Yorick has a hat. That's part of the reason *WHY* Pentakill III Yorick does not have the hat. It helps differentiate the two skins.
@@jerryhook5906 and you aren't gonna mention the fact that the two pentakill Yorick skins have two entirely different styles? Like colour scheme and vfx? You're using a very poor argument here, because kda akali never had a hat to begin with, because it was a stylistic decision, while Yorick's wasn't, it was a total robbery. He literally just looks like a buff Karthus, because he has no hat to give him the Yorick identity.
I can’t believe Malzahar, the preview for the slimline, didn’t even get the legendary skin. I can only assume they didn’t want to bother getting in contact with Vic
Yeah, for as long as base game Malz is still voiced by him, the champion is in an awkward spot. I don't even want to buy Malz because its bad enough hearing his grunts when I'm playing VS the champ. Everytime I hear that voice my brain supplies me with the knowledge, whether I want it to or not.
Imo i loved the lunar beast skinline but you are right about darius and jarvan. They still looked very cool and the rest looked fantastic except viego. Idk what went wrong there but his colorpalet was different from the others which made it look bad. If they all had different tint it probably would've been fine.

On KillerSkins, someone made Pentakill III Yorick with the hat. Just wanted to let you know.
I love how the "Where Yorick" meme evolved into "Where Hat"
They done him dirty
Firelight Ekko is potentially getting upgraded to a legendary skin, but god forbid Yorick gets a hat
actually they give him mask but only when he has Homeguard.
I feel like missed potential is just skins that should of had Ivern in them.

@@charliepea I think they could keep her fishy without giving her the "lux" face. They should have kept her fishy up top like they usually do imo, it just takes a lot away from what she is to give her human skin and look like... that.
I mean, Am I the only one to like Gwen’s skin. Her release skin is very bad for my taste but this one suits her perfectly. I love the forks on ult and the effect on Q and mist. Overall, I really enjoy it ;-;
Well you may like her skin but to me the design itself is downright boring and cliche because we see so many anime characters to have a maiden cloths but her in-game skill effect are not bad.
It is a nice skin, I enjoy it.
I love Gwen, as I follow Lolita fashion since more than 10+ years ago, I relate so much to her design. For that I love even more Cafe Cutie Gwen. While I dislike her secondary skin so much.
the thematic is actually fitting in my opinion, she's a doll after all. And I like the skin, while her release skin was so dumb I wouldn't play it even if I had it
Listen just say that you think she looks cute and ill agree with you (she still is boring)
As a wukong player I have never been so insulted by something I 100% agree with.
The toggle option on skins SHOULD be a mechanic, cuz there's TONS of skins now with hoods, masks, and yes, HATS that the characters either wear or DON'T in game. God forbid we cover our bases to futureproof content.
Alson not like there aren't toggles already in the game. Like DJ Sona music, or Aatrox wings/sword on his back
Its hard to make a new toggle on champs that dont have one to begin with.
"making a hat toggle is hard" - rito
nighthunter rengar: *hehe hood goes beep-boop*
On behalf of the Yorick main community I'd like to extend our thanks to you for bringing light to the devastating situation that is Yorick not having the hat he deserves, much appreciated
space groove gwen is worst than cafe cutie gwen, f***ing fight me
When they released Crime City Nightmare i totally regret voting for it lol
To be honest, i would be regret about my vote in 99% cases.
A sad thing is that human thresh and xerath had potential.
They were both human once and,from a lore perpective, it could have been interesting to see how thresh looked like back then and Xera could have given us insight to how Shurima people dressed thousand of years ago.
lore heavy and interesting concepts ditched to have Thresh/Xerath with abs...really...
FUN fact about Lunar Beast skin line!
Ruby Chroma for Viego's skin makes him look like Dante! For this reason alone, skin is worth it on him. Too bad it's locked behind a 3k RP paywall.
Imma call it right now, the "Top 10 WORST League Skins of 2022" is going to have Porcelain Kindred in it.
Nop
@@Yetiii23 yes the skin is great and all but the mask make the whole point of death is mysterious is fucking gone. Don’t you talk about spirit blossom cause she only removed her mask when she is recalling.
@@angerious6042 i didn't mean it wasn't bad I meant that it wasn't in the video
@@Yetiii23 oh damn my bad bro.
@@Yetiii23 im sorry.
as a Yorick main we are burden but also blessed with his little attention since no one knows how to play against us but we also don't get many buffs and the last buff we got was immediately nerfed and made the ghoul ad ratios lower than it was before the initial buff
Yorick mains aren't alone. Voli mains where complaining about no hat on 1 skin too.
Since when has riot cared about maintaining character silhouettes? lol
I really don’t like when riot puts two champions in the same splash. The characters aren’t given a real chance to shine on their own unless you’re actually playing them and it makes them kinda boring :/
Just had a afk zyra in aram, and it took forever til we could ff.... and then 1 person said no.
I just straight up left the game and opened yt and god im happy to see you posted a video
Nicky out here giving us yorick players some representation!
I actually really like cafe cutie gwen. one of my fav skins tbh
So on board with number 9 here. It was one of the first major skin lines where I *really* started to see some same face syndrome coming out of Riot where I couldn't figure out who at least one of the champions were just by looking, and that problem has only gotten worse
For 2022 already we got porcelain kindred where they made lamb a generic human and her skin and lissandra’s are indistinguishable from one another.
I disagree but that's understandable. Personally, I find it boring if in every skin Lamb was, well, a lamb. Seeing how not every depiction of them needs to be an animal
Furry detected, opinion rejected
I mean. Base kindred is a lamb. This is a skin, supposed to be a twist on the original
Damn bro
Its like Lamb could be something else entirely different in a different skin thats based on a different universe. Would it be super fucking funny if Lamb was always a lamb in every skinline she has? It would be extremely boring and ends up being repetitive since every skin she'll have is "Another version of her default skin"
@@alfa563 ig all the human skins for humans are boring as well?
0:30 I'm not going to make a video about skins that look bad in game. Proceeds to make a video where half of the skins look bad in game. Absolute chad. Subscribed
Finally someone who think café cutie gwen is basically her base skin but somehow more boring
Love how everything in PROJECT feels so robotic and Sylas is literally ABS...
ROBOT ABS
Yeah sure a hat makes Yorik unrecognisable but Blitz&Crank is totally fine.
That skin doesn't massacre Blitzcrank's shape and animations at all.
I don't think we appreciate how high quality the Nickyboi V-Tuber model is enough. That's some good stuff!
as a kayn main, thank you for putting withered rose talon in this list.
I was surprised that No Warden or Marauder skins were here since they’re so forgettable…but then again maybe even NickyBoi forgot those existed
Were those even released in 2021?
I don't think any related last year though
to be fair, that skin line is fine, there's nothing super horrible with them, for me they just scream "skin theme made to put champs we don't want to make skins for" just like the elements skin line
@@Duarte_GB yep..Kalista Xin Zhao for Marauder and Quinn Gragas for Warden were the first skins released for season 2021
Reason I enjoy your personal opinions about the games you talk about
I am studying game design and Im hoping to be in the game development industry. And your take / opinions of the design of your favorite game is always enjoyable and insightful to listen to.
So.....i like to take notes XD
hey btw I just wanna say I love your outro music it makes watching to the end of your video very rewarding, thanks for being a cool youtuber!
Just recently got into League and watching videos about it as well and I gotta say, I'm enjoying this channel a lot.
A missed potential skin would be debonair azir because they 1 could have made him hot human like malazahar to piss the community off and made his sla- i mean soldiers into like waiters in tuxes and stuff.
no, the correct statement would be, the entirety of the ruined king event was a fever dream, like c'mon Riot.
this top of worst in most times seems to me be the missed potencial, with rumbel crime city and batle academy
Honestly, I thought you first showed J4 and then Darius, until I looked again.
The TF skin annoyed me. It's still a good skin, but it should have been a legendary considering he sold the skinline, he's the main antagonist, and could have looked better.
Honestly don't get the hate on Eboy skins. Like it one skin out of every other skin still has them as monsters
I love seeing so many vids from you! Keep it up nicky
I will die on this hill. Debonair Zilean just should have been a thing. What the hell
> Be Riot
> Spend all year excluding Yorick from his own lore
> Don't even give him a relevant lore skin
> Finally give him an event skin, but don't include the iconic hat, even though said skin is an homage to Slash of Guns'N'Roses (seriously, look at a side by side of him and the og Pentakill Yorick)
"Damn, I really don't get why people don't like Yorick. If only there was something we could do..."
In Ruined King fortune has a ruined skin that is infinitely better than the ruined skin in League.
Eyyy... Poppy looks cute in the bewitching skinline. Especially the sound effects and the hammer.
3:08 "Yuumi is the only good one"
Poppy with her adorable Bewitching skin: 👁️💧👄💧👁️
“Yummi was the only good one” sad poppy noises
My top missed potential is the game not having a battle bunny kalista skin
There is no Unbound Thresh in League Of Legends. = There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
If in the best Skins ever doesn't have Definitely not udyr in the first one, i riot
Lore-wise, what does the Ruination even *do* to the champions? 'Cus like that skin line just.. I can't even comprehend...
I've buy the Yorick skin only to play with the modded skin that brings the hat back.
Say its because im a Gwen main, but I like cafe cuties. Not typically my style, but it's got good SFX, the outfit flows Really well and the abilites look really good. It's just a massive improvement over space groove for me.
Nickyboi becoming a top 10 channel
Riot never missed with a khazix skin
As a Nami main, I have to agree that the Bewitching Nami splash art looks boring, though in game the VFX are really good and wasn't half assed like the design
Also I still love Old God Malphite, even though his model is clucky as fuck, they still did an amazing job with what they could
Dude let’s go, now both of my favorite champs have a spot on one of Nicky’s tier lists
Remember yorick during the ruination event? Yeah, neither do i
Crime City nightmare TF was truly a robbery.
he has a shit load of skins and none of them are actually Legendary, and he got robbed AF.
I’m a wukong main and I was gutted at how lackluster that new skin was
I feel like riot games just has like one image of kayn and just build every other male champ/skin around that, yknow like a very scuffed dress-up game
nickyboi videos is a bless
I just wanna say thank you to that person who just said "democracy who". From now on I'll be using that word in every single casual conversation
Brave Phoenix Xayah should be here too, awful design and no Rakan :(
BRUH cafe cuties Gwen?? Her ult makes her shoot out tiny spoons??? Where the missed potential lies is the lack of a cake ward 💔
Aight we have totally different opinions. Bewitching is great. Especially Elise's little pumpkin spiders.
You set up old god malphite like it was going to look awful in game, then you showed it, and I was like, "wait that's sick"
4:25
*laughs in future wild rift content*
The space groove Rumble was forgettable because Rumble has such an outdated character rig
Holy shit is yorick's hat the new graves' cigar?
Yep 😂
Yes, the first Pentakill Yorick has a hat. That's part of the reason *WHY* Pentakill III Yorick does not have the hat. It helps differentiate the two skins.
Are you using this as a legit argument or?
@@dimboomx7582 Yes. It's just like K/DA Akali. The first one has a hat. But K/DA ALL OUT Akali does not. That helps differentiate the two skins.
@@jerryhook5906 and you aren't gonna mention the fact that the two pentakill Yorick skins have two entirely different styles? Like colour scheme and vfx? You're using a very poor argument here, because kda akali never had a hat to begin with, because it was a stylistic decision, while Yorick's wasn't, it was a total robbery. He literally just looks like a buff Karthus, because he has no hat to give him the Yorick identity.
Riot: "Doing a toggle for a single skin is hard!"
Also Riot: Night Hunter Rengar
The Yorick in everything is good and made people hyped, when they revealed the skin, OH BOY, THEY MEESED UP
I can’t believe Malzahar, the preview for the slimline, didn’t even get the legendary skin. I can only assume they didn’t want to bother getting in contact with Vic
Yeah, for as long as base game Malz is still voiced by him, the champion is in an awkward spot. I don't even want to buy Malz because its bad enough hearing his grunts when I'm playing VS the champ. Everytime I hear that voice my brain supplies me with the knowledge, whether I want it to or not.
i will forgive unbound thresh if they make it look like the cinematic
What about dawnbringer yone? Ingame he lookes completely overdone almost like out of a mobile game
Where do you get your skins sales stats? I wanna check those out!
Imo i loved the lunar beast skinline but you are right about darius and jarvan. They still looked very cool and the rest looked fantastic except viego. Idk what went wrong there but his colorpalet was different from the others which made it look bad. If they all had different tint it probably would've been fine.
the gwen cafe is not that bad LMFAO
