Rapid-Fire Skin Review: Dark Erasure Jhin + Cosmic

[@hamdepaf6686]

*HOW DARE YOU INSULT VANILLA ICE CREAM WITH WITH A COSMIC SKINLINE ANALOGY?!*

[@lostsoulrunner92]

Vanilla is boring and basic af. He is correct.

[@Trevan2412]

I think the Cosmic skinline is great when they don't give them human faces and actually make them look like unknowable beings. Like I absolutely adore Jhin, Orianna, Shaco, Thresh... But I wouldn't use Jarvan or Lissandra's skins if they were given to me for free.

[@esdraskuhn8896]

Same thing with the Project skin line, it fell off once they started giving them more human faces.

[@crueladepill1750]

Omg totally agree

[@Trevan2412]

@@crueladepill1750 Yeah, you're not wrong, Lyssandra's skin is actually pretty nice... Although I still think they could've gone a bit harder on her clothes and the "hollow head" aspect. But it might also just be that I'm comparing her to Jhin, which is a legendary skin, so obviously higher production value and design flexibility ^^ The human faces problem is especially prevalent in the "good guys" side of the skinline with the likes of Nidalee, Nami or and Ashe. Makes them much less interesting to look at, I think

[@thahoule7924]

thats why i hate that they made lux the dark star personified. the dark star is supposed to be the origin of all these monsters, and now it looks like...a big purple girl. a big purple girl is the origin of things like dark star shaco, thresh or cho'gath. *sigh* cant really take the skinline serious after that

[@TheLoreKeeper-d6t]

Wait. The final score is four. Jhin's favorite score. Knowing that all the scores of the individual skins would get combined and then divided by the amount of participants, that could only mean one thing. *Jhin made his skin terrible on purpose.*

[@THEO00900]

He took the bullet for the glorious purpose.

[@opughdyang8264]

Hot take but I think Belveth actually worked better than expected in this skin line, lore wise she imbued her power into those she deems worth, that's her minion gimmick, she imbued them with her power.

"This is a slippery slope, how long until they push the paywall further" We live in that reality, a reality with a 500 dollar Ahri skin.

[@boyinblue1310]

Personally, I think Bel'Veth's matriarch role fits her half-monster design far more than her original concept. She probably uses her human-esque form to appear friendlier whenever she approaches a potential paladin. While she uses her monster form to fight Dark Star entities. It's reminiscent to a protective parent. Sweet and caring to their own children, while being hostile to those that would threaten them.

[@bilgewaterbully9141]

I really like Cosmic. Purely cause I love space

[@reno9821]

Cosmic (along with the rest of Event Horizon) is my favourite skinline and now that Dark Cosmic Erasure Jhin is a thing it sucks that the skinline will now be associated more with predatory gacha mechanics instead of being a nice skinline with fantastic particle effects.

[@Crusader3454]

is it predatory to make a price tag high enough to make the majority of players reconsider buying cosmetic pixels?

[@Zorroark]

@@Crusader3454 yes because it's preying on those who have no self control, those kinds of people who might spend money on the game every now and then but are now being faced with a skin they might not be able to get ever again unless they pay up now. It's worse if that hypothetical person mains Jhin and wants everything related to Jhin. I do know that they said DCE Jhin would be put into the reroll pool after a while but the chances of getting mythic skins from rerolls is so low that unless you own every skin possible you're most likely not going to get the skin ever.

[@samus159]

Honestly, I really do like the Cosmic skins (when done well). The visual effects are the big sell, even Cosmic Lux I prefer because I like her glittery star vfx more than the Dark Cosmic ones. This batch really feels out of place though. The Cosmic Paladins is a neat idea, but it really does just feel like Stargazer without the name. Bel'veth is definitely my favourite in this one just cause she *is* a Cosmic. Knowing now that the Cosmic Court was destroyed in the wake of Lux's corruption, I really wish Cosmic Lux won instead. I feel like it would have been a more interesting story direction if Lux could take what she learned by resisting her own inner darkness and using that to help restore the Cosmics that have fallen to corruption. Of course that would just be an excuse to make Cosmic versions of the Corruptants, but story wise I think it would have been a more compelling story, one of redemption. You know. If Riot ever did any real followup to its universes.

[@erickdiazmartinez5980]

Same thoughts. When the event arrive I remember choosing the Cosmic side even though I already knew darkness would win. Players always like dark/edgy better in LoL. Maybe the next skin line there's a cosmic saviour who brings Lux back end the great cosmic war starts. Let's not forget that also Star Guardian Kai Sa saw the dark stars, so they might join the fight.

[@samus159]

@@erickdiazmartinez5980 I won’t lie, I did choose Dark Cosmic to win too. I’d found the Dark Star skins cooler up to that point. After I thought about it more and as I used both, though, that’s when my preference changed. But like you said, everyone loves the dark and edgy, so DC was kind of the obvious winner before it even started. I do wonder how, if at all, the crossovers of the Dark Star into other universes will play out. Syndra in Star Guardian, Rhaast in Odyssey, I have to wonder if Riot will ever pay off these set-ups

It's not like they are charging an extraordinary amount for runes or playing the game or even regular skins, if that changes over time I will be mad like most of the people. But man... I truly want some bucks to go to Legends of Runeterra.

When the cosmic skins are done right (I really like jhin and dark cosmic lux personally) I find them to be some of my favourite skins, when they're not I forget they exist.

[@sebastiangalger8800]

Bel'Veth in both universes have the same outlook though. Bel'Veth wants to consume everything both because she's a voidborn and that what they do, but also because she wants to transform all of reality into The Lavender Sea. Just like in the cosmic skin, she wants the assistance of mortals to help her defeat the watchers, as the watchers want to destroy everything, and Bel'Veth doesn't want to destroy everything, she wants to remake it. So in both skins, she wants to protect what she is and what she represents from a force that just wants destruction by employing the help of mortals. Cosmic Bel'veth is just regular Bel'Veth in a slightly different setting

[@ozthebeeman]

honestly, I like the concept of cosmic skins in other games like Smite. They are some of my favourite skins. idk if its lack of identity lack of special effects lack of verity or simply the technology not being there but in league most of the cosmic skins are kinds bad. most skins in league have the abilities visual effects (and particle effects) right and usually it is the best part of the skin but overall most skins just don't seem to do it for me. in smite for example the skins have this space effect in the ingame model where you can see the stars moving + amazing particle effects but in league they are just a little uninspired I still hold to my belief that riot can make good cosmic skins but haven't in a long time
