Ngl the second design you propose still made me feel like "oh ho tehee~ daddy dont hurt me" HAHAHHAHAHHA but for reals tho, when you mentioned the smile was similar to Hannibal Lector, that second design gave off a feeling that his looking at you as its prey, analyzing the ways he would make you despair, the stare and smile was so creepy and perfect to its character, it reminds me of meeting the 1991 Hannibal from silence of the lamb! And i love how ya keep the same face and clothes design from the human thresh and just ruin-fied it, it may seem lazy to others, but to me it just makes the more sense in terms of showing a story with the characters design. The character designs should shows its story and personality and it perfectly did that! (Sorry for long rant, I was just so happy with the design)

I personally really like the cool "skeletor look", as you call it, that the ruination gave him, so seeing the max power unbound Thresh while keeping his original design in mind and basically enhancing it, would have been pretty cool to see in my opinion. Other than that though, you make really good points in this, and the human Unbound Thresh that you made I think looks pretty good.

This is a Chinese market standard, making male characters Manly and Sexy, while making Female Characters look like they came from Tanacon. It's lame, Character Design is dead in this game, saddly. Now we can just hope they won't start doing this crap with other monsters.

@chubbyninja975 2 жыл бұрын
I love your input. I think it’s valid and above and beyond. I think the fundamental issue that I’m becoming more aware of after watching your videos is that RIOT is operating two projects at the same time, one where they create champions with a deep lore and world building for players who care for that, and one where they appeal to players who just want cool looking, and easy to digest characters which not much depth, and they have no interest in bridging the two for financial reasons. The only way i see them making the effort two connect the dots is if players demanded that they do exactly that and keep vocalizing that they want rich world building and cohesive characters to boot, not just one with disregard for the other.

Personally I really like the 2nd design more. It keeps him... relatable for lack of a better word. It goes back to that idea you put forth, "You probably have met a person like Thresh in real life". It keeps in mind that above all of the monster that Thresh has become he started as a man. By seeing what he was and has become it kinda makes you want to strive to be a better person.

My opinion to unbound Thresh is that its mostly looks boring less interessting than the Base. Also it feels borderline scamy that they sell a Lore Book that they choose to ignore anyway. But your and Lauras designs look so much more interessting. The Mounstrous design looks like a Proper Update to Thresh an Monster in Humanoid Shape. The Human Side looks dark regal and menacing scary. It has a certain Vlad the Impaler Vibe to it and it looks like Human Thresh. I especialy like the Latern Staff and Crown Design. Atleast in my Headcanon one of those two will be the true Unbound Thresh depending on how the story continues. It was a great video. Thank you Skyen :)

24:10 I would propose exactly that. Legendary skin of Thresh, throwing the staff like a spear or a javelin would be so epic. Then at the target location, it would be jabbed under a sharp angle in the ground and green ruination-like cracks would spread from the centre to the edges. A green mist would come out of those cracks as an indicator of its range.
@ziedyee 3 жыл бұрын
But what would he throw it for? In his kit nothing would make sense with a staff. Maybe he can slam his staff into the ground to cast his ult but that's about all I could imagine the staff being useful for.
@DrakZhull 3 жыл бұрын
@@ziedyee The staff would be a carrier for his lantern. It would hover just above his staff and pulsing with power (the entire concept of "unbound" thresh is the fact that he has more power than what he knows to do with after all). To me, throwing the whole staff instead of just the lantern makes more sense anyway as the champion picking the lantern up has a way to actually hold on to it. The basic concept of his lantern transporting champions across small distances is questionable in the first place from the lore perspective as Thresh does not have the kind of personality to help out others. The lantern itself is pretty much an extremely simplified black hole for souls. The staff's effects would be amplifying the idea of Thresh putting his power level on display and could be an excuse for him helping his teammates out. The "look how much power I have" and "you need my assistance" kind of intimidating move.

I love the second design the most. Something about it was just so incredibly pleasing to me, and I think giving thresh a crown instead of floaty dreadlocks was a particularly big improvement. Thresh to me is someone who grabs at symbols of power and holds them just as close as he holds the tortured souls in his lantern. Would he paint himself in a mask of attractiveness with a shallow f**kboy face and silly abs that look like one of those 'manly chefs aprons' on him? Actually yes, I could picture him doing that. But if there was a crown up for grabs? You can be damn sure that crown would be the first thing he put his claws on.
@alfredpenrose9709 2 жыл бұрын
The human unbound version of Thresh reminds me a lot of the leader of the Drukhari (the Dark Elves) in Warhammer 40,000: Asdrubael Vect. They both start as nobodies, and both have risen to the point where they can employ the dark attraction of absolute power wielded by the absolutely corrupt. Vect and Thresh also share a common power source: human suffering. Definitely worth a look!

Something I wish they had done with the lore for thresh is imply that he’s bound to the shadow isles… like… the black mist/the first ruination bound him there and he’s using Viego to siphon enough power to “break his chains” and escape. This would also work into the animation where he’s found in Noxus. this is a glamour he wears in Noxus so he doesn’t get caught by the Noxian government or the Black Rose and he can feast as much as he wants. So he’s “unbound” in the sense that he’s no long held there and can harvest souls wherever he wants without being caught. Almost a “false hydra” from D&D but alluring and then hiding in plain sight rather than underground. It would work with his lore, and it would give him another layer of villainy in addition to wanting to become king of the shadow isles
