Personally I think they could have made better choices with who got the skins regarding aesthetic. Wukong and Garen I get to a degree and with Caitlyn I'm getting a slight Satsuki (Kill la Kill) vibe from. Them aside I think various other characters would have fit the line much better than the rest. Vi would be part of a school discipline committee. The school begin a battle academy is more than enough of an excuse to get a little rough. Jinx would make a great sukeban (delinquent girl) with her disregard rules in general. Annie would be a loli because yeah, she's basically made for it. Zoe is prime shojo protag material with her crush on Ez and rivalry with Lux. Ekko is the confident daring science kid. I'm mostly thinking Senku (Dr.Stone). Yeah I know he has a regular academy skin but Fiora has a Head Mistress skin and that's also school related so that a good enough reason for me.

Garen looks like he's in his mid 20s, Yone looks like he's fucking 30, Caitlyn looks and sounds more like a teacher and Leona simply isn't Leona. The only one that kinda fits it's Wukong because they simply said fuck it and made him human so they gave him a younger face.

Solid video! I think the main thing about the Battle Academia skinline that I find unfortunate is that Riot deliberately set out to make a skinline "based on shounen anime". The anime high school setting feels like the LEAST interesting angle for that. Think of the iconic shounen animes, like Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, Demon Slayer or Bleach. All of these shows have massively varied designs and aesthetics, but none of them (which the occasional exception of Bleach) are rooted in a high school setting. It's just a shame, because I know I was imagining that arguably defining shounen visual approach taken into League.
@crafted_myth23923 жыл бұрын
This is honestly why I prefer how the skins look in the Labrys anime opening (from LoL Brazil). The designs themselves may have been toned down for animation purposes, but they look better overall with a more simple look and replace some colors with others to look more harmonious. All of them look great, but my personal favorite is what they did with Leona: removing her lipstick, softening her eye color to pink, and replacing the purple on her uniform with black, minus the tie. It's worlds easier to look at now. I agree with you on your other point too, I wish these skins had some sort of connecting factor; like the Durandal kids and their gloves.

Not even mention Odyssey Sivir, Karma and TF lost their adventurous touch like Yasuo, Jinx, Malp crew had. New Battle Academy is like Battle Queen mixed with Star Guardian hair color.

I will say that the idea behind this iteration of the skin line is that these are all student from the rival delinquent school to the original line's prep school. Caitlin joined cause it would be a greater challenge to whip the failures of the school into shape to win the multi-academy tournament. With that being said, I think that the messy aesthetic works in a sense that it plays on the concept that no one here is good at working with one another. However, these designs don't really evoke the idea that these are the bad kids. They still have their ties done properly, their shirts are buttoned and (sans Yone) have their jackets on with no wrinkles. Yone works better with his long anime hair and his jacket tied around his waist as both are common tropes for a rebel/lancer character if not secret antagonist. It doesn't help that the original skin line had clear theming with color language related to the various clubs that the characters were in but that has been all thrown out the window with this group. (ie: purple was associated with the assassin club but now Leona is coated in the color and has nothing to do with assassins) Overall, I'd say that they are fine but if the design creep continues this skin line will become a mess.
