Pls New Neeko skin Ayo they missed so many chances ☠️ Beeko,Cafe cuties and more :') she's sadly so underrated i mean good For me 🤡

[@peschionator7873]

The TF skin hit me hard. I voted for that skinline because TF is such an iconic character and deserves a real legendary skin, not one that was made ages ago and wouldnt sell for 975 rp these days.

[@lcdc_azuralie]

I actually voted cause of the Miss Fortune and Kai'sa concepts, like omg MF just looked bad ass as fuck, also Akali was a huge disappointement, they showed us some concepts for her W with some red and stuff but all they did was a simple W where they later on added some eye.pngs

[@abiwonkenabi7027]

I had no horse in this race what-so-ever, because I voted Monster Tamer and the others were just meh to me. But even I was disappointed that the TF wasn't legendary. The concept is cool, but they just aren't spooky enough to sell the idea. They actually look more like Debonair than the 2.0 skins do...

[@alphshift7857]

I guess their tencent overlord reigns supreme huh

[@dmsviola1]

It makes sense for most of these champions to be physically fit. I didn't mind sexy Debonair Malzahar because... Well that's kind of the point of the skin line. To take champions, stick em in suits and high class outfits, and let em be sexy. Considering most if not all of his other skins have him completely covered up, I think the Debonair skin brings something new to his aesthetic. And then there's Project Sylas, lol. Doesn't fit the vibe of other Project skins at all.

[@p1neappleyy68]

as a nami main i was so upset that they made her so., human in the bewitching skin. i saw a comment when it came out that said “if you cut off namis bottom half and told me this was a lux skin i would have believed you wholeheartedly.” and i totally agree

[@jacktjong1266]

Yorick's been done dirty this entire year. Not only did Riot mess up the pentakill skin, they also completely boned Yorick in the Ruination event. Yorick's *entire existence* is about fighting against the mist. Then when there's an event centered around the idea of *fighting the mist* , he's nowhere to be found??? Oh nvm, he got a whole three lines of dialogue that *immediately contradict his lore* ! (For those who don't know, Yorick gives the Sentinels each a drop of his holy water basically. Yet in Yorick's lore it's specified that losing even a single drop of it would result in Yorick dying, and Yorick has let people die before rather than give away any of his water)

[@superslime0021]

so basically that's riot's way of saying "let's just fucking kill yorick"

[@Siecyl]

Most are, Ruined Miss Fortune was canon to the main universe for a while

[@BluePhoenix_]

Some are canon. Like all ruination and sentinel skins. Most others are either different timelines or just there for fun.

[@supernet94]

the thing is, that's true to the majority of the skins, all from different world os the champs, but not for that set of sentinels, ruination and human thresh skins as they are canon to the universe (unless they decide to completely retcone it after the disaster that the event was)

[@Super_Top_Secret_Area]

@@supernet94 It was partially retconned, but Riot posted a list of things that stayed canon.

[@phoenixflamegames1]

I love how Riot basically ignored the entire concept of a poll (most people voting for something is what people want) and gave the debonair, the second place, more love because apparently that’s how a poll works. Come on Rito, it’s not a crime to focus on sales but if you are going to do it like this why even fucking bother with the other countries voting anyway?

[@dokusha519]

Well, China has over 100 million players, other servers might have 3 million players, so in reality debonair won because a lot more Chinese people voted it

[@garou9914]

As an ex league player, I'm saddened they never added the hat to that skin...my guy yorick never gets anything, he's just there. It truly makes his line "What hell is worst than this limbo" very accurate.

[@dogakoruyucu2194]

I personally hate Ruiend Pantheon because the skin dont care about the point of pantheon which is having a very strong will that help him stand up to a god. Then an edgy emo boy comes and say "Now you are under my control". WHAT? Why is this canon?

[@abiwonkenabi7027]

I always interpreted it as PANTHEON, as in the celestial that died while inhabiting Atreus's body, was revived with the Black Mist and took back over. HE was the one that was Ruined and not Atreus. Thus the Prestige skin is Atreus having the will to break from Pantheon a SECOND time. Of course the Sentinels of Light event is so vague in the canon now, who knows what actually happened? They barely had time for Viego, let alone Pantheon.

[@TigerKirby215]

I know the Syndra mains nutted for Bewitching Syndra. Having Syndra throw pumpkins was such an obvious choice. Thing is that Syndra's design is admittedly kinda boring as just "witch who throws stuff" so giving her a "witch that throws pumpkins" skin was obvious. It's harmless. Not good not bad. Bewitching Nami and Fiora however? They're trash lmao.

Crime City (the skinline formally known as mafia) Swain is a concept the fans have been doing for literal years. Since I hate the rework and stay loyal to OGSwain like Grey Friars Bobby to his dead owner, no skin he gets will ever be good, but even I can admit he fits the world perfectly.

[@_nolan_nolan]

Riot always does this in a skinline. They never give the legendary to the champions who actually make the most sense in the skinline or are the most important to the skinline lore. It’s ridiculous.

[@the_dindon]

As a Yorick main, even though I love Pentakill 3 Yorick (it has a brighter vibe that makes him feel more badass than Pentakill 1 where he was like random tombstone man) the thing that upsets me the most isn't the hat, it's the fact that there is no background music playing while your ult is alive like they did with Resistance Yorick, I was hoping I'd get to destroy towers while listening to Pentakill, and I was realy disapointed

[@akaliislifeakaliislove5968]

it's copyrighted no?

[@SiMeGamer]

@@akaliislifeakaliislove5968 as long as you apply some manipulation to it, it is not a problem with copyright even if the case goes to court (the way it is in America). Inspiration/reference cannot be copyrighted. The only problem is when there is too much similarity or it potentially applies politics aka libel which is not something to worry about with the LoL IP in terms of application of a skin (especially to Yuumi which is inherently an apolitical character in the lore). It's a little complicated but depending on implementation it could go right through. They are releasing monster tamer skins or whatever it is called which might as well be called the Pokemon line, but since they are making certain adjustments to the designs, it is considered non-infringing. They could release a Nyuumi skin if they wanted to.

[@markopusic8258]

You know, 2022 has barely begun but I can already say with confidence that Porcelain Kindred will be featured as a top 10 worst skins of 2022. That thing is an abortion, and a far cry from the majestic skin Spirit Blossom Kindred is. Where Spirit Blossom Kindred managed the incredible feat of delivering on BOTH the cute sim dating anime character and the fearsome Incarnation of Death while also featuring amazing special effects and a gorgeous splash art. Porcelain decided to throw Wolf to the fucking side, make Lamb a boring cute anime character once again but without the symbolism that came with the reinterpretation of the Kindred tale with Spirit Blossom as a frail humanoid character rather than a frail lamb, and worst of all, make it look fucking boring. What a astounding failure of a skin.

[@Momogamer9]

I love porcelain, I dont even [lay kindred but im still getting it. Thats how powerful the skin is. Its so beautiful.

[@weirdneko263]

Honestly I love Kindred too and I don't mind the skin, I just hate how they seem to always put them next to cash cows then proceed to give said cash cow the legendary and/or prestige skin. I bet if Riot actually made them a legendary if could finally be lamb and wolf, not lamb and her little sidekick wolf.

[@rydwvn]

[@amandaslough125]

I mean, Porcelain Kindred is not a bad design in a vacuum. It's just humanizing Lamb which is needing to be stopped.

[@lCerezal]

I love how the lamb and wolf are thematically ying and yang...and in this skin they have like two koi fish to represent that??? So the lamb is just a girl with elf ears and hooves and the wolf is just there ??? Idk this skin is so bad it hurts, the ult is cool but that is not Kindred.

Stop ruining monster champs... Not everything needs to be human :'( nami, thresh, brand, wukong, etc... you can let them be non-human and still fit cute/fancy skins. Like bewitching nami would be amazing if she was a deep sea creature with a more halloween tone.

[@sovereigncharm288]

Thresh is a monster?

[@dmsviola1]

Honestly, Nami is so pretty despite being a literal fish woman. My favorite skins for her are the ones where they give her different fishy attributes while making her aesthetic as hell. And then there's Splendid Staff. Her most boring skin. We all know what generic mermaids look like, Riot. What makes Nami special is the fact that she's a full on fish woman. Just let the fish be fish.

[@charliepea]

Nami is kinda okay but do they really have to make her face similar to the others? Rito's losing creativity with these same face syndrome...

A sad thing is that human thresh and xerath had potential. They were both human once and,from a lore perpective, it could have been interesting to see how thresh looked like back then and Xera could have given us insight to how Shurima people dressed thousand of years ago. lore heavy and interesting concepts ditched to have Thresh/Xerath with abs...really...

Honestly, I like Cafe Cutie Gwen just because the SFX are so satisfying. Yes the concept is a little off & the VFX aren't that special but I still like it, even if I will never play. When Batlle Academia Garen & Wukong were chosen for the skin line, I was really worried when I noticed Garen was hot xD Malzahar is just Malzahar so I will have to agree there. PROJECT Sylas was a strange choice for the skin line as well because there were so many other champion that could have gotten. Arcana Xerath is just great in every single way, although if the next 3 skins on xerath are going to be e-boy style I will be disappointed. Bewitching skins were really mediocre in every aspect since we have seen really similar skins & we didn't get any males this year... Ruined Miss Fortune is a recolored version of her Star Guardian skin in terms of VFX. Old God Malphite was a great idea but because his model is garbage the final product doesn't live up to expectations. Lunar Beasts were fine I guess. Unbound Thresh was just disappointing. Personally I disliked all of the new Pentakill skins as I found most of them underdeveloped.

Yeah, no males in the Halloween this year was bad. I like some Bewitching skins, but ALL Bewitching? Kledula, Count Kass (as good as Kass can look with his crummy model anyways), Ekko, we've had solid options for males in the past. Plus they seem more varied. Couldn't they at least give them different outfits? Why does Nami have PUMPKIN fish? Couldn't they have come up with something different? They are obsessed with women and Pumpkins in this line and there's more to Halloween than just witches and pumpkins...

@@a.arrondel6379 An anime character already in a dress even. I think they need to figure out what to do with the Scissors, because they are just Scissors in both skins so far. If you look at someone like Sivir for example: her weapon is not always the same, it can have wildly different designs in each skin. It can be a pizza! Heck, she is in THIS skin line and as weak as her Nidalee-ass splash art is, giving her a tray of sweets is a cute idea. More of an idea than Gwen at least.

[@a.arrondel6379]

@@abiwonkenabi7027 I think scissors are very unique amongst other weapons, Sivir only needs a somewhat round thing. Gwen would have to get a weapon that doesn't look like scissors while retaining her animations, which seems really hard if she doesn't get a legendary skin

[@abiwonkenabi7027]

@@a.arrondel6379 No, I agree, which poses a huge problem for her skins. Most concepts probably don't work great with scissors, which is a pretty specific item/weapon. Maybe like, Sewn Chaos? If that ever comes back.

> Be Riot > Spend all year excluding Yorick from his own lore > Don't even give him a relevant lore skin > Finally give him an event skin, but don't include the iconic hat, even though said skin is an homage to Slash of Guns'N'Roses (seriously, look at a side by side of him and the og Pentakill Yorick) "Damn, I really don't get why people don't like Yorick. If only there was something we could do..."

[@allanime01]

Not only did they play favorites with the poll, but turns out we are gonna get monster tamers as a line anyways. So really all our votes did was decide the release schedule. Also seeing that graph and poll make me realize why Zed got the legendary.....

[@vasuelaun]

Nicky you should harness the void event power by playing a league match but everyone is a void champ. Like Rek'sai jg, Vel'Koz mid, Cho'gath or kassidin top, Kog'maw of Kai'sa as the adc and Malzahar as a support (somethin similar to this)

Me watching this on twitch before and now rewatching it pog

“Yummi was the only good one” sad poppy noises

[@underlvlmagikarp7247]

Yo! I don't have a Twitter... but someone should start #PrayForYorick. I don't play him often, but when he shows up in ARAM I'm all in. His Pentakill 1 skin was based off of Slash from Guns & Roses. How DARE YOU RIOT, even think of making Pentakill 3 Yorick without the hat... Slash was rarely seen performing with out it(I think one music video?)... Guns & Roses even used a Top Hat on multiple album covers because Slash's hat was soo iconic.

I just wanna say thank you to that person who just said "democracy who". From now on I'll be using that word in every single casual conversation

[@rezonance4937]

Where do you get your skins sales stats? I wanna check those out!

[@DarthBaneRoT]

Honestly, I thought you first showed J4 and then Darius, until I looked again.

[@apenasummonosenna4274]

I'm dealing with my ping in League going to f***ing 3000, and this make me sad. Only a video from Nicki to save me!!

[@andreazhab]

"Can't wait to see [REDACTED]'s ultimate skin as number 1!" Nicky: *MY HAT*

[@bluehues2264]

Riot: "Doing a toggle for a single skin is hard!" Also Riot: Night Hunter Rengar

[@WolfBergMenace]

Stuff like Battle Academia Wukong and Nightbringer Yasuo always make me check the models before buying a skin. The splash art of these skins look pretty nice but then you see their ingame model and its a trainwreck.

[@pink7522]

My top missed potential is the game not having a battle bunny kalista skin

[@quentingalloway8882]

I really really love the avatar NickyBoi, it is really cute to his character.

[@QbaaYT]

I don’t agree with you at all but still fun to watch.

[@ShadowDemiVeemon]

The space groove Rumble was forgettable because Rumble has such an outdated character rig

[@Akaizma]

I feel like riot games just has like one image of kayn and just build every other male champ/skin around that, yknow like a very scuffed dress-up game

[@osummiece3340]

Brave Phoenix Xayah should be here too, awful design and no Rakan :(

[@moonynight6374]

I completly forgot that Battle Academia Garen+Wukong, Project Sylas and Space Groove Rumble existed

[@escadora2206]

I like the Arcana Xerath because its unique. Used to hate it for becoming a human but man thinking about what to do with xerath in terms of skins.... Yeah ... I think its fine
