Watch Riot add a second skin to the kajiu line and go "Yep, that's enough" and never touch it again

[@3nd1ess77]

If they actually do that, itll be for Nasus. Mark my words.

[@moondragon2502]

Ok ok, that would suck, but that would also be really funny

[@wolfirofl30]

@@3nd1ess77 🤓Yuumi, cause she already is an abomination

[@BunnyTheOverlord]

Honestly I think the best way to do them would be one at a time along with other skinlines. Alleviate some of the obvious money loss from too many monster champ skins coming out at the same time but keep having a consistent flow going so the skinline gets completed then maybe we can do an event where you fight the Kaiju off.

[@mestre12]

You maybe joking, but, you are problably not far off.

[@Blu_Moon_Owl]

1:40 funny how this is the third time Nicky loves a skin for a champ he doesn’t like. Also very in depth analysis of the Garen and Darius “chromas”. Garen’s lion becomes a manticore, which in mythology are known to be inherently evil and ferocious creatures so Garen being the “Fallen” skin makes sense. So with Darius’s wolf, it became a Pterolykos (it’s a real thing I did a quick search for it) that have been a creature that symbolizes strength and freedom. Pretty on the nose for the good aspects of Noxus, and in this case “Divine” God-king Darius

[@HenryXLII]

As a Gwen fan/main, the skin she got is fine, though I feel like it goes even further than her doll/seamstress theme than usual. Space Groove and Soul Fighter have the benefit of looking like homemade costumes, and maid outfits are pretty closely linked to cosplay, which makes me not mind Cafe Cuties too much. I would KILL though for a skin that leans more into her being a doll though, and I feel like Fright Night would be a perfect fit for a creepy, but still fun Gwen. I'm not exactly holding my breath for it, but the fact she got her skin just a few patches before October does sting for me just a little. I'm fine with Gwen having skins that make her cute/pretty, I like Gwen the way she is, but getting even just ONE skin that plays to what she could have been would go so far, and would be a really fun way to recontextualize her mannerisms and animations.

[@Lin_Nascimento]

So fiora gets to have a crown, but yorick can't have a hat?????????? damn you RITO games!!!!!!

[@remitsu9715]

don't play league anymore but still enjoy watching the Rapid-fire skin reviews as your opinions are usually fun to hear :D

[@Gavitron-um9io]

Now hear me out. What if instead of expanding on older skin lines. They just made more rain shepherd skins… forever

[@flynnberryngp6385]

I like how you addressed on what a society we live in with VS events where dark side is always chosen by players, proud side of light here on all of those events.

[@justpinkunno]

A Kaiju skin for Skarner would go so hard imo

[@x-nimator9997]

[@deucesommerfeld1248]

The fact that you made the Zayn joke for both your hated champs getting great skins, is a chef’s kiss. Not to mention MF is *chefs kiss*

[@DerangedDurain]

Nik's right about Riot's focus on prior skin lines this year. Evidence indicates that we're going to get more returning skin lines in the future. The corporate universe is getting expanded on with Azir and Thresh, and leaks have said that Fright Night is returning too (I'm gonna have a conniption if Vex doesn't get her 3rd PC skin after 600+ days I stg). We can even predict an event coming in late 2024. Given that Ambessa is coming out in late 2024 and new champions always release alongside an event, plus we know that Viktor and Vi are both getting legendaries this year, PLUS we also know that Arcane Season 2 is coming out around the same time as Ambessa... There's probably going to be an Arcane event. Since there are 2 legendaries, there will probably be 2 patches like with Anima Squad, so I'm betting there's gonna be a whole slew of Arcane skins. Arcane Warwick, Arcane Heimer, Arcane Singed, maybe even Arcane versions of other Piltover/Zuan champs, like Renata, Camille, or Zeri. Who knows, but I bet Riot's gonna be more prepared to capitalize on Arcane's Success than they were last time.

[@tadihotado3518]

The french getting a good skin and the sex bait fox gets a 500$ scam, also the god king scams This is truly a dark twisted universe we live in

[@Xangancan]

Im sure someone already pointed it out, but I do really appreciate the swords used in Gwen's skin. It replaces her needles for both w and r, and thats a really good use of the skin!

[@WiseMysticalTree]

I want Demacia Vice back since it appeared first . I want to see Galio with a crazy hairstyle , sunglasses and synthwave wings .

an idea i have for a skin rebrand is to bring back the jurassic skinline, but instead of making them into skeletons, they make them dinosaur versions of themselves

For the Kaiju line, I have the perfect idea.. Give Vel'Koz some extra legs, turn his tentacles into three-limbed manipulators, and mix it all with biomechanical design. PERFECT. KAIJU. SKIN. For a REALLY MONSTER champion!

Something tells me the next skins are for azir and thresh are going to be absolute bangers and Sir Nikolay Boius' new favourites... just a hunch tho

[@lunmere]

As much as I love the Kaiju skinline I think it'd be infinitely funnier if they never added a skin to the line because it's only 1 and a whole different category was made to accomodate it. Although If they made it into an actual skinline I would hope it'd have yet another new category so urgot can have his own special little place just because it's hilarious

[@PiantaBroker]

The gwen skin is great. I played her in pbe, and vfx and sfx are super nice.

[@Ryan-xt9cm]

a good thing about being a skarner main is that I will never be tempted by a $200 skin

[@KingTerrick]

Yea I’m scared for space grove teemo if space grove comes back

[@SorinCloud]

It is kinda crazy how the dark/evil side always won in VS events. Despite Riven having the better skin of the two, people choose even more edgy Yasuo. During the God King event, Garen's side was winning the first half of when all of a sudden, Darius' side just came in and swooped up the victory. And with the Cosmic event, even though we KNOW the Dark Star is evil and we knew if people choose Dark Cosmic Lux to win, THE COSMIC UNIVERSE WAS GOING TO END, they still picked it. Like, Dark Cosmic Lux the skin wasn't going to go away and I knew a lot of people wanted an evil skin for Lux for the longest time. But for the fact that the Good/Light side of VS events never wins, it kinda does say something about people, huh? Probably why they don't do it like that anymore, seeing the last couple were Cats vs Dogs.

As someone who doesn’t like most project skins Naafiri and Jax are 2 skins I love.

[@DSMister]

Since they didn't make a bio for the mythic chromas, I will: Fallen God-King Garen: God-King Garen's cherished kingdom has fallen. He, the lone survivor of the war he waged against the God-King Darius, has adopted the very rule his counterpart holds so deeply. If strength is needed to wrest back control and restore his kingdom, so be it. No matter how many must fall before him, he will bring back the glory of Demacia. Divine God-King Darius: All hail the scion of war, the Divine God-King Darius! His long-standing war against all kingdoms won, he forged his own kingdom, one where only one rule reigns: strength above all. Yet only one being stands in his way: a rechristened God-King Garen. May the God-King Darius reign ever supreme over his enemies.
