    You have to think of Rhaast in this one as Kayn's intrusive thoughts, something that is always and will always be with him, he just might let it out sometimes where he becomes full Rhaast with Kayn still in there

    Funny how you compared Sett and K'Sante, cause to me it's literally the other way around. Sett had a great piece in the Paranoia video, both visually and musically, and he carries over his lore quite well with "his mom made his hat" bit. On the other hand, K'Sante, while undoubtably rocking that jacket, appeared visually only during Ezreal's chorus and basically wasn't on the screen during his own singing part of the video (not to mention, the voice doesn't really match the character). So, to me, K'Sante was just a second Sett, not the other way around like it was described here.

      @@mamastory3507 Yeah K'sante is more of a strong vocalist that comes in every now and then for his portion like how Sett comes in for his rap, while both are really good in their own individual parts of the song it's very clear that Kayn and Ezreal are the main focus, and it's also clear that Kayn is probably the one actually in charge here. Especially because of how he talks about making sure his fellow bandmates perform their best in his voicelines.

      ​@@mamastory3507 I actually disagree, Kayn and Ezreal are the focus but that does not mean leaders. Kayn very much has this independent-ish vibe to him that makes him stand out but he doesn't have leader qualities, and the same goes for Ezreal, the one-hit-wonder turned band member naturally gets a lot of exposure but he clearly isn't the one holding the reins. I think actually Yone has the most leader potential but he's their producer, so he's out. K'sante doesn't feel much like a leader but neither do the other two.

    i love heartsteel kayn and i think rhaast is kayn's "the voices™" personified so him taking over is kinda like a personality switch. Bro has a bit of a screw loose, nothing new. Others also thought that rhaast might be still an actual demon who gives kayn his music talent and in exchange kayn must let him let loose sometimes

    • @joseportillo9541
      @joseportillo9541 6 місяців тому +18

      I was hoping rhaast would have a completely different genre of music, something I noticed with kayn skins is that, besides soul hunter, they are always part of different skin lines, odyssey is a mix of dark star and galaxy slayer, nightbringer is a mix of both night and dawn, and snow moon is a mix of blood and snow moon. So I was hoping this one would be the same, having Shadow assassin being completely heartsteel and have rhaast be something different (maybe pentakill, he has a guitar and smashes it in his recall for god sake). But the version we got is still pretty good.

    You're technically right, Yone isn't part of the band itself, he's their producer. I personally think he fits quite nicely, he seems like the "mom friend" of the group and the lore about Yasuo being inspired to pursue music because of him is very cute and ties things nicely.
    Ezreal, Kayn, Aphelios and Sett were pretty much essential for the band because that was the original headcanon made by fans. I really loved Heartsteel for making that headcanon come alive. They're definitely my favorite musical project from Riot and I hope they get more content in the future.

    It's straight up confirmed by people who worked on it that Rhaast and Kayn are in a classic deal with the devil for music skills scenario. Kayn's eye is red and their skin is literally purple when Rhaast takes over. It's just nice to see them as buddies rather than the usual frenemies dynamic.

    Absolutely not my style but I've learned to love these skins because of the music video. I'd argue that while maybe the music isn't as good as the previous bands, the clear dynamic between The Boys depicted through the storytelling in the music video makes them far more entertaining as characters than KD/A and Pentakill ever were. The skins aren't brilliant by any means but I can look at the more mediocre ones like Sett, remember some kind of funny interaction or moment he had in the music video and it brings a smile to my face. I really love this goofy bunch.

    Imo heartsteel is the best band because (and this might just be me) they feel like an actual group... if you watch all the music videos I think heartsteel gives you the best incite on what these characters are, in both k/da and true damage the group is separate until the big dances or the end whilst with heartsteel they are always vibing together.

    • @daydreamies
      @daydreamies 6 місяців тому +62

      this is my take, too. as much as i ADORE k/da, it feels like they just kinda co-exist alongside each other with ahri as the standout. the only real glimpse we got into them as "girls being girls" was 1 moment in the 'more' mv where akali nudges seraphine (around 3:25) and then a couple of promotional images on social media where they're together as a band. hopefully they take what they learned is working for heartsteel and incorporate it into future k/da and true damage content. those bands lack a lot of life, sadly.

      You are definetly not alone on that one. I like them so much more than KDA for example. Just alone their ingame taunts, especially Kayns, are quite close to the community. Fanboy over Pentalkill and not really knowing about true damage (Even I forgot about them for a moment). Of course the rivalry with KDA is something I hope to be explored in the future.
      Also its kinda funny how their music video was "low budget" in the lore since they just raided that warehouse on a movie set, while KDA had such a high budget for theirs in the lore. Yet in reality its the other way around lmao

    At the very least, Riot learned from how Seraphine was handled initially and rather than setting the band up as something entirely different and detached from Riot altogether
    It was an “account takeover”, with the band hijacking the Riot Music account and just vibing. It was clear it was a marketing stunt and I actually really enjoyed watching it all play out, even with Kayne apparently sneaking back on and doing more after it was already supposed to have ended
    As usual, the true issue ended up being the handful of fans who got a smidge too enthusiastic about it

I love that he is just wearing like casual clothes that wouldn't really fit on the rift, and that he just looks good on them. Like Ezreal, the skins are quite simple/basic but I like that aesthetic in this theme. Also what makes Sett skin is the sound, the q and aa sound is impeccable, it feels really nice to hit opponents and hear the music. I tried both soulfighther and heartsteel sett in pbe to decide which one I preferred, and soulfighter ended up being quite overwhelming and a bit messy. Heartsteel is simple but clean, and truly fits imo.

    They seem much more down to earth compared to all the other music groups Riot created, maybe I should just be concerned about the music but the way the characters are presented seem so much more friendly and welcoming as opposed to "haha look at us we are divine/have-an-actual-god(ess)-complex/too-cool-for-school" (I think thats the correct order) which, in Pentakills case is kinda fun and engaging but the others dont seem to be played for laughs (am I missing something?).
    Out of the members of KDA and True Damage I guess I can forgive Eves character since she is easy to understand because she is a little bit like her base version, and I might forgive Yasuo cause even if he doesnt do anything he got a genuinely really cool skin out of it, but everyone else? Hollow is the word that comes to mind, that and forgettable. I realise they are just supposed to be stereotypes but I kinda wish that wasnt the only thing they were.

    Not the Sett and Yone slander... Sett was one of the most expected champions to be made part of the boy band!!! In any case, K'sante was definitely the surprise! And even then, Sett and Ksante have very different personalities. While K'sante is cheerful, but he is the more responsible and reliable one, he is the kind of guy you go ask for advice, or ask for help when you need it. Sett is way more goofy and chaotic, a lot more of a showoff, very dumb, but charming! Heartsteel does such a good job at writing the personalities, relationships and interactions between all these characters that no one feels out of place. Yone is as indispensable of a member as all of the other guys, he is a lot more quiet than the rest, yes, but in a very different way that aphelios is. Yone is the mom of the group, the one that keeps everyone (especially Kayn) in check, the true brain of Heartsteel!!!
    The characters that Heartsteel build are so full of personality and life, and that's just something that all of the other bands don't have. They are chaotic, fun, and full of joyous whimsy. Is such a shame that you don't enjoy them that much, but I guess it just isn't for everyone.

    Alright hear me out, what if Kayn was a Pentakill fan outside of being part of Heartsteel, and his Rhaast side would be his metalhead part and when he turns into red form he becomes a Pentakill fan (kinda like what they did with Snowmoon Rhaast being a Bloodmoon, or Odissey Rhaast being a Dark Star).
    Might be a bit confusing and not too seeling for the boybands skins tho, but could've been fun

  • @borgia7311
    @borgia7311 6 місяців тому +1

    Heartsteel makes me very happy because i had had the exact same idea last year. Before the avalanche of skins of 2023, I told my bf that it would be cool to have a boyband skinline, so my fav champions could have pretty skins. My idea was more inspired by western 90s-00s boybands, specifically over Turning Red's 4town, so i had imagined white uniforms and ultra cheesy music. First i had thought about it over Sett, my little meow meow, who would be the muscle boy; Aphelios would be the Sentimental one, then to add more champions with less cute skins I added Kayn who would be the Bad Boy, and Gragas would be the Producer/manager(very Big Time Rush now that I think about it). The idea was to include champions that hadnt had skins too recently.
    What im missing from Heartsteel in particular is dancing. KDA blessed us with many choreos, and i was hoping to see dancing emotes, maybe to see something fresh instead of Sett's classic crunches.

    I think True damage is by far the weakest of the bands, never seen the appeal on them really. KDA is very well put together as it is, a band of pretty girls who share a "profesional" relationship with each other and nothing else, which is kind of the antithesis of a band, but it works because each of them are a diva who stuck together to get the KPOP band appeal. Meanwhile Hearthsteel is a bunch of bros doing stupid stuff and having fun, you do really feel like they are actual friends having a good time, except for Yone who isn't really a part of the band but a temporary collaboration.

    And if we want Yone in the music also, lets make it so that the brothers did music together, breaking off, then Yasuo wold come back with True Damage, and Yone seeing it and decided to come back to the industry.

  • @capnqueer2286
    @capnqueer2286 6 місяців тому +1

    To me Kayn and Rhaast read sort of like a fantasy DID thing maybe? They're both there all the time, neither of them ever really shut the other out at any point, neither of them is ever hostile to the other outside of some mild annoyance from Kayn, it's just a matter of who's behind the wheel at any given moment. I wouldn't be able to speak on whether it's accurate to actual DID outside of being kind of reminded of a couple of my friends by it, but it's interesting and it does fulfill a thought that I've had for a while about wanting a skin where Kayn and Rhaast aren't trying to kill each other so that's cool.

    I actually would've maybe preferred Kayn and Rhaast to be a split personality as if he had multiple personality and feel like it would've made sense in the universe, plus it would've added that in the real world a famous idol musician has a mental disability that would make the team more fun.
    Also super suprised that you did not shit on aphelios as much as Yone, considering that Aphelios was in the MV for about the same amount of time as Yone and did nothing, in fact he seems to be the most generic looking member aside from the plastic drapes they introduce later on into the video. in fact alot of art that includes him, 9/10 times the average person would not know nor recognize Aphelios as a person

    IMO Ksante doesn't fit in. There are multiple aspects which just makes me wish they added Taric instead of K'sante.
    1. Yone is the tech guy/producer of the group who literally uses drones to film, but for some reason K'sante is the one running around with a camera
    2. He feels "forced in". His vocal part was the shortest one and didn't even show him perform, unlike Ezreal, Kayn and Sett. BUT, he has the most screen time in the video for some reason.
    3. Unlike KDA, TD, Pentakill Heartsteel doesn't have a designated support character so that you could play full stack with these skins.
    4. Taric would've been perfect for the group for both role and lore reasons. He's Runeterra's guardian of life, love, and beauty, which would be the best option for a "leader" type of character as he's protecting his mates and makes sure they are safe. K'sante on the other hand is an offensive hunter, he's kind of as aggressive as Sett is, so IMO they fill the same role.
    5. JUST IMAGINE Tarric with cameras instead of his crystals. He even has a default taunt where his crystals make a photoshoot of him

  • @insheepsclothing5574

    My first theory as to how thye were going to introduce some sort of "narrative" within the Kayn skin was that Rhaast would be the form he adopted if he decided to leave the band to pursue a solo carreer while Shadow Assassin was him embracing Heartsteel to the fullest and becoming the fan favorite. But "intrusive thoughts Rhaast" is a pretty fun codnept, I have to admit.
