The Best and Worst Skins of Every Champion (2023)

[@SweetJamu]

Congrats on finishing this series Skyen! It's been a daily pleasure watching these shorts as they come out

[@spirto1279]

Honestly the biggest shock by far is realizing just how many of these shorts came out and just how long it took, feels like yesterday ⏰

[@EdgarLopez-zp7gu]

O m. 0. 0lm9 9. 9😊😊😊😊😊 😊 😊 😊 😊9 😊09. N ko

[@EmilyRitcheson]

As someone who knows precious little about League of Legends, I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. Similar to your Pokemon shorts, you communicate all your thoughts in a concise, intelligent, and very entertaining way. ⏰

[@TakumiTheFAUSTScientist]

And *IT'S FINALLY FINISHED* at last! And TBH *THIS* series became my favorite KZbin short series of all time This series really taught me well *TO APPRECIATE ALL OF THE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS' SKINS* even to the simplest ones and pointing out what's good or bad or right or wrong about it and also appreciate the people behind making those skins and Splash Arts And I'm going to say this again: *THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS SERIES* Skyen

[@beebs4283]

Do I know or care about anything LOL related outside of Arcane? No. Am I going to watch all of Skyen’s wonderful analysis anyway? Absolutely.

[@spiralhaze2070]

That's a lot of work you accomplished there, Skyen. Really something to be proud of.

[@martim281]

Man, I'm so happy that you released this video, I was wanting more skins content and your artistic opinion in general, and now I have both in 5 hours of video as a New Year's gift. Thank you very much and happy holidays.

[@nicks.857]

My favorite shorts series on You Tube, I got a little feeling of excitement every time. Afterwards I looked at a skin from a completely new perspective and noticed things I didn’t pay much attention to before.

[@celiverdi1098]

Even tho I watched most of them if not all of them when they came out, I still enjoy to hear your analysis on the skins. You point out the incredible work and care that some artist put into them and I always come back to your channel because it’s very intellectual and for some reason very soothing haha because damn you are one heck of a creator!! Thank you so much for every video and short you make! Have a great new year Skyen you deserve it ⏰💖

[@robbstormblood8506]

Okay but the la illusion skins did such a good job for nidalee

[@someguywithawooperpfp3163]

Honestly these shorts were something I looked forward to daily... sad to see it end

[@dualswords3303]

from this 2:54:30 to "Kog'maw is old" sounds like the pug about to be put down due to ⏰ age

[@sylvanshroom]

I have been meaning to go back and rewatch these because I love hearing analysis of what your takes on what does and doesnt work on these characters and their skins, so the timing couldnt have been more perfect. Keep doing your amazing work Skyen and I hope that 2024 is a year of fulfillment and happiness for you! ⏰️

[@gentlemanlike4005]

Rewatching these shorts has been such a treat! The way you present your shorts in such a concise yet thoughtful manner, it's always just nice to listen to ⏰

[@ailingstar8856]

Honestly one of the tragedies of Santa Gragas is that the costume idea comes inbuilt with an alternative for his keg, a bag so stuffed full with presents that it's straight-up cylindrical.

[@picantepollo6238]

These shorts are how I found your channel. I’m glad to finally see this in its entirety.

[@CthulhuPlayss]

been watching these since you first came out with them!!! thanks yt for always recommending the new ones ⏰

[@guilhermefaissal4831]

This kind of videos are amazing, where someone shows not only their opinion but explains it with detail and heart is fascinating. Your work is an example of excellent content. Thank you so much for all of this shorts! ⏰

[@Pippysaur]

I’ve been playing league from the very beginning so to watch these shorts overtime and rewatch them again to hear your critiques was very fun and eye opening for a lot of the skins I own haha. Such a great and fun series. Awesome work on all of it! ⏰

[@Zykvar]

Usually I probably wouldn't take the ⏰to watch an hour long analysis of skins in a video game, but you left me with no choice after hooking me in with some of these really engaging shorts. The moment this collection dropped I knew I had to watch it. Really appreciate your hard work!

[@malcogarcia3673]

Honestly I waited every single day to see one of these in my homepage. It's made me think more about design, story telling and its made me appreciate the work of these artists a lot more. Thank you so much for making all this! ⏰

[@starryeyedinput]

speaking as someone who doesn't always have the time ⏱️ or brain-space to watch full-length analysis videos or keep up with a series of shorts as they release, having a massive shorts compilation like this that i can watch on-and-off is just about perfect 💟 i'm always so impressed with how effectively you can communicate skinline concepts, character lore and cultural references, all whilst providing your own thoughts on the actual designs, both as a whole and in-game. and on top of that, you've got such a strong sense of comedy and voice both in your scripts and on-mic! truly remarkable stuff - thank you for sharing!!

[@KTheChristianArtist]

Wow...It really is done isnt it? Thank you so much Tbskyen for these amazing shorts, They're the reason why I'm interested in the lore and designs of league. Happy new year!

[@georgelunn5210]

Discovering this series is what reignited my love of good character design and analysis, and has also led to me discovering the joy that is the art of LoR. Thank you for all your effort, I hope you do a similar series of character design analysis in future! ⏰

[@dessertoni]

I can't believe this was 2 years long. I've been pestering my brother with this series every time a new short came out. And seeing your input on skins made start looking at skins differently than just "oooo skin cool" and made me start to analyze newer skin releases for Champs. Bravo

[@sunainahussain]

🕰 it's just good backround noise to hear you analyse things while I draw 👉👈

[@bee_wannabe]

🕰🕰🕰 Thanks for your videos Skyen, its such a delight to listen through while doing my job and as an artist i really appreciate your analysis about characters and art in general. Thanks again for your content and take care!

[@Rells2coolpeoplehavebadtastes.]

Thank you so much for your work Skyen! This series was a joy to watch and very insightful when it comes to the topic of character design.

[@TheZipding]

Watched this over several sessions, I just really enjoy your analysis of art and character design. ⏰

[@manigros4348]

I can't believe it! It is done. Congrats on finishing the series!

[@frangipanii]

Your voice is just so calming and personable to me, I keep coming back to this as something to keep me out of actual shorts when I’m starting my day cause I can let it play and I know I can still move around and do stuff whilst getting dropped little tidbits of ideas and thoughts. I love these compilations ❤🕰️

[@sorasoda]

always find your take on various character designs super interesting as someone who is working on visual novels in my freetime ⏰ you've taught me a lot ! and unfortunately got me into league of legends

[@chugztogo6560]

Watched all the Shorts, watched the compilation. Will watch it again probably. Congrats TBSkyen!

[@Never_heart]

3 days of slowly working through this while doing stuff around the house but I got there. A great series with a lot of very well thought out takes ⏰️

[@gamernerd141]

I love that you're bringing the air and ideas of literary analysis into fandom space, it's something so many of them need so desperately, league especially. This was a blast to keep up with live, and was fun to revisit. So.... you'll do one of these for ALL the one piece shorts when you finish that, right? ⏰

[@Seelie_Serenus]

⏰ the series is finally over! I remember looking forward to seeing the shorts drop every week before I went to bed (time zones be funky like that haha). It was fun to work on my sketchbook while this compilation was on in the background. Also, happy new year, Mr Skyen! I’d like to support you financially in a few years when I’m finally out of school, but for now I’ll settle for watching, liking, and commenting.

[@tahilpadia]

I absolutely love the choices of background music you used in these. Some really obscure choices that fit really well too. Like Temptation from Destiny 2 for Project Camille was really cool. ⏰

[@hazygoodol]

This has been a microdose of happiness for me, everytime you posted one of these. Congrats on finishing all of these ❤ hope u have a wonderful 2024

[@punto3205]

I know next to nothing about League of Legends outside of Arcane and some of the music videos but as a character designer I LOVE listening to you break down and analyse these designs.

[@endikaaspeurrutia1013]

You are a mad Man Skyen, i respect AND admire that dedication

[@nitler9531]

Been seeing these pop up on my feed here and there for god knows how long now, but finally actually watched them all ⏰

[@doodleman2122]

⏰️ TBSkyen compilations are the best background noise when I'm working/doing chores

[@rojx64]

This video is just what i want. Skin reviews talking about how good and bad some of those are but a high price treat that i enjoy. I am supporting the channel to never stop getting this. Thank you. Edit: ⏰️

[@writersblock142]

⏰️❤I truly can't believe this is over, GODDAMN THE COMMITMENT. I know legit nothing about League of Legends but they way you critique designs and articulate said criticism just got me hooked even if I'll never play the games. This series has inspired me to upgrade my own character design and analysis on designs as well and I truly do thank you for the entertainment! Congrats on making it this far and being done with the series!! :D (Also side note I was deep cleaning my room while watching this despite having seen every single one before so yeah, thanks for keeping me company while going through my clothes, have a good day TBSkeyn lol) ❤⏰️

[@tasmadriandevil1491]

always love discussions of character design, loved finding this series, congrats on finishing it🕰

[@animorphs128]

I agree with 90% of the list. looking forward to even more shorts reviews in the future (pokemon, one piece, league, whatever. I'm here for your competent critiques more than the properties themselves) ⏰

[@xanithdegroot5407]

I still think we should get Star Guardian Urgot as an old retired star guardian who is secretly the principle of the school the rest of the guardians go to, which would actually help the lore of the SG universe by explaining why every guardian seems to end up in this school. He is knowingly approving of these transfers to help the new generation form teams. Also he could be wheelchair bound with his mecha-legs being his guardian weapon. So yeah give us the Legendary Star Guardian Urgot riot.

[@johird9990]

i mean either that or the janitor

[@xXLazysoftwareXx]

⏰️ This series got me invested into your channel as an aspiring character designer and I love hearing your takes on designs.

[@PsychoticMuffinz]

Love you and your work Skyen! Thanks for making my Sunday chores pass my with relative ease ⏰ ETA: it was good to see you finally finish this series and see earlier ones I missed before they started popping up consistently for me!

[@simonbenda3727]

Since none of my friends really seem to care about the lore and art of LoL ,its nice to find someone who apreciates it. And i might finaly start reading some of the lore thanks to you :) ⏰️

[@griffintitus72]

⏰ I did it over multiple sittings, but I doubt anyone watched all 5 hours in one lol.

[@padddyfi]

This was my second screen entertainment for the last 3 days and I'm glad I stayed for end ⏰

[@eddietb7575]

1:28:39 damn AHAAHSHA- the unexpected “yo are you okay?” Got me

[@helloemma]

I really love this series so much and I’m bit sad to see it’s now ‘over.’ ⏳⏱ Still, it was fun to rewatch all of the shorts together (over a period of three days). It’s also really interesting to me how some characters who are absolutely defined by their very specific weapons (like Jinx for instance) aren’t really hindered by their weapons when it comes to their skins, but that’s obviously not the case for many other characters.

[@hikari1959]

oceansong seraphine is ChungHa to my eyes and nothing can really change that on a side note im so happy to finally see all of this work put together! eating it up fr, magnificent job

[@JasonR1037]

🕛 Time kind of flew by watching this. Fun insights to think about. Thanks for all this and all you do.

[@melongay3710]

This video is keeping me from going insane at work my vacation starts tomorrow and rewatching this is preventing me form only thinking about how much time is left for the shift ⏰️

[@photograhy]

Lunar beast Viego in red chroma is basically a DMC's Dante reference. This is only saving grace of that skin.

[@RomnilWater]

So nice to see another shorts compilation video. Your takes are always interesting regardless of if I agree or not. Not to mention your Hot Take video has become a default background video for me when I'm doing other tasks so it's great to have another one. Also i laughed when i saw you organized it in reverse alphabetical order.

[@toxictincan]

I may not have paid complete attention to the video, due to working on a project, but I always enjoy hearing about character design, and the time I did focus on the video was well spent.⏰

[@plagueamon9331]

This was a very thought-provoking series in regards to character design, cool to see it completed!⌛️

[@lilymedeiros]

Xayah main here. My favorite thing about playing with her SG skin (at least on Wild Rift) is that we occasionally get flashes of her "good side" in her recall. Seeing her flicker back and forth, even if just for a moment, makes it my favorite. It feels like she herself is waffling back and forth, unable to hold onto her darker convictions.

[@atab7086]

⏲ man i "listened" the whole video like a podcast your voice is soothing and your video ideas are great good job

[@atab7086]

now that you liked my comment can i ask for a character design hot take for updated caitlyn

[@obsessivelychaoticdimwit9764]

A 5 HOUR SKYEN VIDEO HALLELUJAH

[@Squeek801]

🕰 Love these, thanks for putting this compilation together.

[@noishfanboy1141]

Even though the vid ended on zeri the last short being on Renata is just so perfect

[@teafairy6959]

I had to pause at the Cosmic Hunter Varus Skin, because I had an idea: It could've been so cool if the one he hunts in die universe were a Skarner Skin, because of the constellations and the greek lore. The twist is just that the Hunter hunts scorpion and not the scorpion the Hunter or maybe I'm just to much of a Star and Greek Myth Nerd.

[@meticulousstressor4332]

⏰ This was such a blast to watch, I adore all your shorts and getting to watch them all in one place was super nice. I feel like I've learned a lot about character designing (at least, more than I knew going into this!) which will help my characters pop more in the future, so thank you! Your analysis videos are just so top-tier good and you're very good at commentating in a way that makes a 5 hour video enjoyable to listen to instead of tedious and droning after a few hours. I don't even play LoL and yet I know so much about the characters and their skin designs thanks to you, which is great for impressing my friends who do actually play

[@willnash7907]

Such a great video. Always love your deep-dives into aesthetics.

[@aquilablackthorn5450]

⏰Thanks for keeping me company at work Skyen!

[@hesselelmoddem]

Really enjoy watching these shorts and having them packed up as one very long video is really great. Thanks for your effort! ❤🕥

[@ietdkvd]

You know what? If vel koz is a creepy flying eye with tentacle then what's stopping riot from making him an bibically accurate angel.

[@snuggoe]

really didn't think i would sit through a 5 hour video talking about league skins but here i am. the time ⏰ flew by listening to your takes on design aspects and what succeeded and what didn't, very engaging content in a (as far as i can tell) untapped market for it. keep it up dude. ACAB.

[@garlichotdog6951]

Even if they're just for visuals, I would really like Aurelions stars back

[@samh-king3517]

Wait a minute.. this isn't short at all?? Unsubscribed

[@rat4315]

⏰️ I admit this is a incredibly long video to watch through to its entirety, but this series has been a special interest of mine since I encountered it. I been putting this on in the background as I write and draw or for any creative process for a while now, and still followup on your design breakdowns including my other favorites such as your animation breakdowns for arcane and best splasharts for LOL and Runeterra videos (and many more). As an artist, such a thorough breakdown of design, compositions, and the bits of life and beauty imparted into these things makes me strive to be a better artist, it gets me excited to create even with your more negative critiques for the passion and the thorough critiques of the skins. Even if theyre short, theyre jammed pack with information, suggestions, and cool art. Your presentation is a 11/10 as well, youre engaging, fun, you have a wonderful voice and tone to convey the exact mood you're going for, whether you're narrating a ominous scene, or a cheery origami skin. Overall, this series makes me want to be a better storyteller AND artist, and I have and will always recommend your videos to aspiring designers and storytellers like me. Thank you so much for this series, and your work, even if I cannot support your financially, I sincerely wish you continued success and passion for what you do.

[@asom479]

Imagine not watching the whole thing *twice*!!! First time everything in shorts and now everything in this video ⏰⏰

[@KarachoBolzen]

Hi Skyen, do you plan to do little update shorts when a new skin comes out and you consider it the new best (or worst lol) for that champion? Would be neat to keep the series up to date I think

[@Han_Moz]

even tho i have been following the shorts, i watched this as well lmao i love your takes and insights, it did take about 3 days to finish tho lmao 🕒

[@chaotic__neutral0_08]

⌛ I really enjoy watching ur videos and fall asleep to them, so I've essentially have seen this video 4 times now lol

[@ENDERSTYLE74]

⏰It was a pleasure to re-listen to those in one sitting, it must've been quite the intimidating project, but I'm glad you stuck through with it ! Can't say I agree with them all, but hey, that's the point, and they were very well argumented, especially for heartseeker vayne, that was truly poignant ~

[@kookiebv6319]

Yup, I watched this till the end 🕰 I am not okay by any means, life really... suck sometimes. But thank you for making these videos Skyen, It really helps to make it trough days like this ❤

[@TNFSoulReaver]

This was just ⏰ satisfying to me in some way, to watch Skyen give his opinions. I like his attraction to a good hat as well

[@Daminionz]

the fact that not only u started from the opposite side of the alphabet, but also switched the letters around is fkn hurting my goddamn brain. howtf does one even come up with that idea it's so bad 💀💀💀💀

[@vickiwong839]

this video was my background video while i studied (even though ive watched basically all of these gradually). but because i lack focus, yes, i basically spent 5 hours watching content id already seen before instead of studying. your character design analysis will forever be awesome to watch 🕔

[@Timituesday]

love hearing your opinions on skin designs, your def the graves pool party of youtuber content creators, just all good vibes. ⌚

[@karlbuenger7105]

Thanks for the great series Skyen! I appreciate your content greatly for all of the insight and thought-provoking ideas you provide! ❤⏰

[@cherubini_5348]

never watched these as shorts, but damn... good work, cool stuff⏳

[@GalaxyLunaa]

As someone who is currently studying on character design for games I loved watching all of the shorts when they came out, some many good points and advice I'll have to remember and question in my own work before i graduate and go into industry. Loved watching them all back to back in one place an hearing all of your thoughts about the skins and the champions. ⏰

[@michaldrotar6452]

I like the fact that Ksantes worst skin is as stated "going half fan service-half well built man instead of commiting to one or the other" and yet his ult is called ALL OUT, thats exactly why his prestige is so good because it goes ALL OUT on the expensive style

[@doubleyou6408]

⏰ Feel kind of late to the party, but this video turned out amazing as a compilation of all of the shorts, great job!

[@SchwarzSkills]

I enjoyed the Shorts when they you released them, so I enjoyed this supercut as well, to listen to mostly :D Also Clock

[@lok5]

I just main eve and I bought shadow , not because it's the cheapest but because it looks perfect with blue and black colors and in game when u are on the move in game, her lashers look the best for me in comapre with others skins , I saw first time this skin on youtube guide and lashers looked so cool I just immediatly bought it and really don't want to change this skin

[@musicinmymind623]

⏰ loved this series, congrats on finishing it!! Cant wait to see what else is next

[@Neltharak]

I did speed through but i loved this entire series a LOT🕛 also kinda sorted through skins for me tbh, i know which ones i want when they're on sale !

[@sophiemichel8045]

Thank you so much for the series. I don’t even play LoL, but it’s just great character analysis based on costumes and helps me with what I need to thing about when character designing.

[@samuellakoseljac7261]

These shorts were my first contact with lol after arcane for a long ⏰

[@richardcreasey9319]

Dude, ocean song Zeri's coat looks sick as fuck. That slaps.

[@aninterestinusername]

⏰ thanks for being my background noise while I worked. I didn’t actually look at half the skin designs but it was interesting hearing your rationale for critiquing them

[@NagemYelmul]

🕰 Man, I'm sad to see this series finished. Your takes on the various designs are great! I hope you continue this with new skin releases (though I wouldn't blame you if you chose not to. This had to have been a TON of work).
