[@oscar_itooo]

must agree, dark star is quite a solid skinline, even for how old it is

[@slavchems4759]

hella solid, that riot based a whole valorant agent on the skinline lmao

[@autist1cvoice]

[@DeathDespairDestruction]

omg that woman everytime i see her in my game i always target her idc if its lose or win

[@lorieslori8051]

It is a newer skin but personally I think Dark Cosmic Jhin may be the best skin in League overall. It re-imagines Jhin in a fantastic way, the animations, the four arms, the voice and the effects steal the show

[@quentin7670]

Agree

[@JoeyBonzo99]

Dark Star is definitely one of my favorite skinlines, although the recent ones definitely start to look a bit same-y.

[@Micull2052]

Dark star Thresh is even more special to me because of the great game mode that is made for the skin

[@felixnov5587]

I swear, Nicky never failed to make me laugh. His humour + hilarious edits are the best. I don't even play league anymore and his jokes are hilarious. I do wish you can do content on other games too.

[@Bot-vl7pp]

Yes

[@pantim0752]

This is so cool, hoping to see more of the Dark Star in the future

[@pingucrimson750]

Happy birthday Xeno, your taste in skin lines is immaculate

[@furnandochowski3254]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY XENO Dark star gamemode was mega epic and I want it again sometime

[@cds7012]

That's one of the few times if not the only time I've seen Ice Age 3 footage in an edit lmao. Solid rapidfire, I like them a lot! Great request Xeno. Happy birthday!

[@kickerich9402]

The fact Oris ult is a black hole, this is such a smart design choice

[@ScarletStarManor]

The consistent positivity is such a nice change of pace, love this video, happy birthday Xeno.

[@acsunder6217]

imagine,star guardian orianna getting dismembered in her death animation XD

[@sololeveling7390]

Dark star is such a cool skin line. I want a dark star skin for every single champion

[@jasonmiller2379]

the issue is that the dark star, and by proxy, cosmic skin lines don't fit every champion we don't want to go back to old league where they were making skins for the sake of making skins [even if they kind of do that now sometimes, but they at least kind of try] there're probably quite a few champions where the thematic would either just not fit at all, or resemble another skin they already have too much to warrant it

[@HelixOrion]

Imagine Teemo shooting black holes...

[@JustShawn11]

Happy borfday fella

[@anastasiadrozdova1192]

Dark Cosmic Jhin should've been here. He's technically a Dark Star as well. Sadge.

[@IckStickO]

this was specifically the early dark star skins. Jhin came much later so he just wasnt apart of this batch

[@CM_Kha]

1:58 I caught it's just a burning memory

[@demiseful5570]

I would love to see a rapid skin review of coven tbh

[@lillyie]

dark star thresh is such a great skin it got its own gamemode where all 10 players just play dark star thresh

[@TheMightyBattleSquid]

You mean it's (Dark)STARting to wear out its welcome!

[@YourHighnessIV]

red black and gold colour scheme really got me so didnt just get the debonair zed with chroma

[@chrs-wltrs]

Makes me cry that we got anime Fiddlesticks before dark star 😢 see you all in another 4 years I guess

[@adamshev5105]

Every one asol main (5 I think total) still want dark star skin

[@insidious9088]

2:50 what a beautiful reference

[@lolPoroa]

darkstar and cosmic are my favorite skin lines

[@BowserGlazer]

I wish they made a dark star nunu and willump and made it legendary. He literally consumes all the time, and it would've been a neat dynamic

[@animepenguin7254]

Dark star was such a good line up

[@IttzMawi]

Out of all the popular skinlines, Dark Star and Arcade might be the best ones yet

[@manuelghezzodebadin9898]

Battle bosses were my favourite skinline, but then the human "bosses" came, and with yasuo, qiyana and bel'veth they ruined the feel we had with malzahar, veigar, brand etc

[@Stereopp]

@@manuelghezzodebadin9898 I love battle boss qiyana

[@pierfrancescoferrarese1074]

Happy borfday xeno

[@ArgKnoxville86]

My one grudge with this skin line, is that the splashart THEY ARE ALL SO SIMILAR!! I can never tell if my adc is a K6, a Thresh, a Varus or a what the hell?!

[@karmasin4734]

2:17 no, I think TB skyen bring more things to the table than "old clunky animation + "creepy skin" = work" her animation was supposed to be creepy, see my point is the dark star skinline is set in space, and space = floaty, if her animation we're like varus recall where they stretches his body like it has no bone, because he doesn't he's a cosmic entity, everything on him is just "space sparkles that look like materials", with Oriana instead of doll clockwork stiff movement she could work with a unstiff smooth animation of her arms unnaturally bend backward to spin the key her body twisting everywhere but it still always comeback in the right place THAT would embrace and fit with the cosmic horror theme, the clunky animation does look out of place and kinda take the "space" away form the skin but it is a good skin for the element of the floaty tentacles on her head and the universe skirt

[@FlutterSwag]

Its a shame Aatrox, The World Ender Has no darkstar skin

[@BEESKIT800]

as a varus main, it pains me to see my boy have the same voice lines as his release. rito pls

[@ItsHellRider]

Thresh main since his release. The only skin I dropped my minimum wage paycheck for back when I was 16.

[@private8384]

This is my favourite skin line and yes Dark star Varus is better than cosmic hunter

[@rhaalion8551]

Can you do Nightbringer&Dawnbringers or Odyssey skin line? I like your rapid fire skin reviews.

[@seph123]

original idea for thresh dark star was space horror but it was gone on the next generation and just became another battle of light and darkness

[@PhillipOnTakos]

Dark Star Thresh got his own game mode... that's how much Riot knew this would be a success. With all the limited time game modes I can't think of any other one where every player used the same character.

[@Skybot437]

Bakugan Battlegear feat, lol. You're not wrong.

[@alechs]

"red black and gold is my color scheme weakness" the german flag is peak color scheme apparently.

[@rdogg114]

With dark star Thresh and Varus i always got the impression that they were trying to go for a galactus silver surfer type relationship hell i think dark star thresh's voice lines support this.

[@snoovian7951]

thank you xeno for this vid coming to life, also happy birthday

[@BunsGlazing768]

Hi, Kha'Zix onetrick here. There's a few things about Dark Star Kha'Zix most people don't know. 1) If you evolve Q, it'll start making this annoying fucking vacuum noise and holy shit I cannot stand it. 2) The ult animation looks like you're vanishing into some weird pocket dimension and it's amazing, no other Kha'Zix skin has such a unique ult effect. 3) Evolving R changes the colour scheme from orange/red to blue and it looks so fucking sick. 4) If you have Muramana fully stacked, the starry particle effect on Kha's claws will resemble the star on his face. Also it goes well with his R-evolved colour scheme, so there's a wacky W-R-E evolve Muramana+Ability haste build for you. Spam evolved W (2 second slow on a 4 second cooldown), turn invisible a bunch, make enemies ragequit. Only takes about twenty minutes for the build to come online. 5) When the W explodes it makes this little galaxy thing. Combined with Ravenous Hydra, you can get a REALLY trippy explosion of particle effects by just evolving W and throwing it at some minions. Ravenous Hydra also gives ability haste, hint hint nudge nudge.

[@IckStickO]

might have to try this next time i play jg.

[@yuurifanclub]

What a chad

[@BunsGlazing768]

@@IckStickO good luck did i mention i have a 35% winrate with this build

[@IckStickO]

@@BunsGlazing768 lol that's probably better than my normal khazix wr

[@oniuserjh]

lol if you think the animations are odd on Bee Ori, you should see star guardian Ori, animations all changed to be more human, except the death animation where it looks like her limbs just malfunction

[@Ridsssss]

i totally forgot karma came with jhin and shaco

[@christhis9597]

I prefer spirit blossom thresh. But i have to say dark star is pretty cool too

[@kostamajstorovic3543]

The dark star thresh event was fire

[@ereder1476]

i thought you would do a rapid fire of all dark star skin... oh well i didn't pay; but that's expensive for such a short video

[@exavier5616]

Is there a limit to how many 200 you can buy, I know that it only opens once a month but if you so happen to buy it 2 months in a row do you still get the two videos. Future questions for whenever I get my new job and we'll have more money to spend.

[@D_asin_Z]

If khazix has a voice filter on the skin, it would be a 10/10 for me

[@blacky2564]

Dude why the first batch couldn't you do all of them?

[@larsnelson8822]

I love darkstar, it gave shaco is best skin. All his other skins are just "clown with knives" but they put some effort into that one

[@ShadowEdits_0X]

where is dark star xerath?

the varus head looks like a salad or ice tongs

Happy fucking birthday beautiful baby

[@drix012]

Still waiting for Dark Star Kench.

[@charliepea]

I'm still waiting for Dark Star Veigar. I'm afraid it might be repetitive since he's already a dark mage, but heck he literally has "Event Horizon" lol

[@boldisordorin9010]

Tahm kench would fit dark star so much. He would be the star and when he ult he abrobs people

Wait so is snow moon in the same world as blood moon?

[@andreibossahtamon3950]

boy do i have news for you there is a star guardian oriana announced in wild rift

[@FrenchLegitimist]

In a perfect world, the Void woukd have the Dark Star aesthetic. Take Cho'Gath for instance: his Dark Star skin sells way more this idea of non-understandable otherworldly monster that only goal is consumption, same for Kha'Zix.

[@JanTft]

Fuck, Dark Star rotating gamemode... i need a moment
