All these years and people still don't understand they are absolutely unwilling to waste any resources into a champion they're not sure will sell well.

An ice phoenix, without the ice.

While the idea seems like a "adoy" it is already kinda exactly what she is. I don't see this being a better legendary than her Blackfrost which is lore related. Anivia being an ice phoenix is already an inversion of the classic fire Phoenix, so removing that difference would make Anivia less interesting imo.

@@Oscar97o This joke loses all its merit when you think about the fact that a "legendary" skin would also have changed voice lines. That's the whole point of a Legendary skin. To change the theme of the character altogether Just like Blackfrost Anivia isin't about peaceful harmony anymore And I don't see anyone complaining about Papercraft Anivia still being ice-themed, except for some model and vfx changes. If Riot tried to make an epic or lower tier skin of that sort, without changing the voice lines, just like they've done with the Infernal skinline - save for Nasus, obviously - then ye, that'd make no sense either

@@GenusMusic I see your point, but I'd still argue that it'd be interesting to see a Legendary tier conversion of Anivia to a "regular" phoenix, for anyone who misses the original concept of the mythological creature, or simply would like to see her executed as such, to which group I personally belong Whether it'd sell or not is a whole other issue

i straight up cant even tell what im looking at with the new champ mastery thing. its just such a generic mobile game kind of thing that i literally cannot tell what mastery the person who is flashing it has

that pisses me off more because no one was asking for that, there is so much players want updated and changed but they decide that cheapening the look of the champion mastery is what they want to do

@@vel306I assume the Chinese playerbase complained.

And the lack of being able to see my mastery points on the loading screen. I could deal with the champ mastery icon, but that royally pissed me off.

What gets me is the fact that I was motivated to play champs to get those S tokens and become Lv 7, both as a way to show some sign of mastery and because that blue was gorgeous. But now I have no care to play anything but Arena. I would purposefully play different champs to collect mastery on them all and become better at many different playstyles. Now, there’s no reason to play anything other than 2-3 if I just want to win

Make Ashes E rain actual ash, kind of like a pun?

Imagine if she was mostly obsidian and as her q starts to accelerate she starts glowing and then is set on fire with full AS

when a random youtube comment has more creative ideas than the game's CREATIVE DIRECTORS yk ts is getting out of hand

For some reason i forgot Ashe had a bow and i though when did Varus get boobs

Ashe is still alright cuz she gets so many skins so everybody will just forget this one, but what about olaf? He gets like 1 skin every 2 years and olaf mains just got a cheap knockoff XD

They should use AI, it'd turn out better 💀

They got Brand New Skins. People should stop flaming.

Its funny the whole toxic lol community is united with this xd

It makes me wonder if these 3 will get a visual rework

I prefer this instead of 10 "asian" type of skins. Also it's classic swap skin which I like the most.

this is like the Ruination skin line, but instead of Shadow Isles aesthetic we have Brand aesthetic. Brand is the ruined king of the infernal skins

Yeah, you can either go Ashen Lord Asol route, or Infernal Nasus one. They chose Akali instead...

It's really tedious how infernal for them apparently means "character on fire" when even them already explored the concept with more creativity with Teemo, Fizz and Nasus

@@Loliston Devil Teemo and Fizz is a different skinline 🙄

@@Snarflez Well, they convey the theme "infernal" far better Feels like how Fright Night is miles ahead of bewitching regarding Halloween for me, at least the ideias feel new, interesting and creative

This isn't the first time either. Riot has had a looooong history of trying to churn out cheap skins and refusing to make proper changes based on feedback. Remember MF's ultimate? The main reason why they never reworked it before release is because the splash art, live 2D animations (login screen), animated trailer, and everything else was already finished before they even put it up on PBE. They had decided the skin was finished before ever letting the community judge it, so we just had to accept it. Then there's the Mordekaiser rework, where they outright refused to put budget into his skins getting proper VFX, even those within the tier that REQUIRED it having that. Imagine the community telling a game company that they can't just rework skins they purchased to have less than what they originally did, and still refuse to fix them. It took one Riot employee to create the effects on his own time for them to just say "okay, sure. Add them into the game". There's a laundry list of them just being lazy, scummy, or out of touch and refusing to go back on mistakes. Like Necrit said, the only Infernal skins that were ever liked were Infernal Nasus, Zyra, and Diana's. The last two only being praised due to them being better than those around them at the time.

They fired only people who arent important like Quality assurance and the vfx department to save money But the budget is still the same oh yeah the executives gave themselves a raise after all the money they saved by firing them

​@@trishamayacielo657they fired a shіt ton of concept artists and writers lol

@@trishamayacielo657 aint no way you just said vfx aren't important.. without vfx you literally wouldn't see abilities.....

@@Lolamy That's the sarcasm part.

This guy gets it

No , please no, I rather have urgot into lazy ass Mecha skin that's just a chorma of battcast than have shitty infernal. I want demon urgot where his stomach is mouth that's eats people. Fright is one of his best , crabgod is hard to top.

​@@chaotik900that one was fine, and also butcher urgot too.

​@@chaotik900 there's a mecha urgot but in Wild Rift if I remember..

@@chitogekirisaki4459 I know, that's why I brought up as lazy.

Bro is mourning

Bro is mourningmaxxing

Makes sense, but also makes sense that people don't like when prices go up.

yeh, these "basic" skins in a moba are €11 🗿

Inflation 🥲

Yeaa no, u can't sell products of VERY different quality for the same price and expect ppl to accept it. How can a skin for 10$ have a different home guard, different effects and animations but then another skin for 10$ is a recolor of base?

they made the arcane skins

it genually made me laugh out loud - it was so true and sad, but so unexpected, like damn that caught me off guard 😂

the color is more cheeto dust and crumbs tbh - like the skins are lackluster as heck but whats worse is they couldnt even translate the splashart into the game models. Ashe doesnt have fiery hair it's just normal hair for example. And none of it looks like fire on their bodies it's just orange

Best fucking reply

tbh, in a fantasy game like this, when someone says "Infernal" the first thing that comes to my mind is Hell and demons, not fire and volcanic

To be fair... I kinda like the gas station puddles 😂 And the Eastern skins are pretty at least. But some of these newer skins are so utterly boring. The new infernal line should have stayed in the past. I wish they'd bring back the more unique skins, like the "Definitely Not" line, or the band skins (minus the weird tweets).

​@@nomoretwitterhandlesthe Infernal skin line has always been boring. Nothing new. I have Infernal Amumu and Diana and they are trash.

​@@Seroxm13Amumu is not that bad. Diana is just old, the skin got released when most were about the level of a recolour. And she did not have the extra Vfx like Zyra's plants to do something more. So for it's age and what it's constraints were, it's really okay. But it is indeed a skinline that did not age well, they have so much more tools and freedom these days. Either they redo the whole base concept of infernal, or they'll just put it to rest

@@viktoriaschmied6627 Amumu's head should be flamey, just looks so weird and bad like this. His ult and abilities VFX are so subtle. Diana is a little better, but still not a good skin. I used them all the time cause it's the only skins I have with them.

don't forget toy terror chogath and cheesehead rat. Those were some good ass skins

Only to try to hire the people you just fired immediately only as Freelancers to underpay them- Riot small indie company 🤡

And they're still horrible. I personally believe their whole skin budget went into the mid-year event skins

the empyrean skins aren’t even that good..

huge cope saying that RGB Varus plastered in front of a red backdrop and nothing else counts as a quality legendary skin.

Empyrean? Ah you mean the rgb skin line

I thought Empyrean was reimagined Infernal...like neon inferno with rainbow fire all around

the crazy part is diana’s skin was linked to an in-game ice vs fire event that decided which element skin she got… like i don’t think it was intended to go this far😭 and infernal akali wasn’t even a skin it was the updated crimson akali :s

Infernal Diana was released in S6

I main zyra since s3 and it still looked terrible back then. The quality difference between wildfire and haunted, her next skin was huge.

What

I had a stroke reading this

I also had a stroke reading this, mostly because this guy must have never worked before in his life.

So this is how 15 year old LoL players imagine working for a big company. Interesting.

People be like "I can't even read this, but it was surely good. - take my upvote"

How about infernal Milio

Infernal Brand. Just Brand but with 1% extra fire. The only reason why that skin hasn’t been released yet is because he’s THAT good.

But then people would be pissed that she finally got a skin, but for 1 of the most boring and generic skin lines... Let skin lines like this be fillers for champions who already have a lot of skins.

Riot knows that splashes sell skins. Many people, maybe even half bother to look up the skin spotlight... but A LOT of people just buy straight from the shop.

yep and that’s an intentional trap by the company😂congratz u fell for it

Not really fair since 90% of the splashes are damn good compared to their actual models.

they confirmed shyv is getting her rework in 2025 a while ago.

When you... Fire 🔥

Who is this artist that's so good that they fired?

​@@johnstrife7mao zedong

@@johnstrife7 Lao Gan Ma

​@@johnstrife7they fired almost all the original artists who stick with them from the very old days of league. Nercit make a video about it in detail so check it out.

Isn't that just the Prestige version of the Ruined Pantheon..

​@@chitogekirisaki4459 Prestige version is Arteus taking back control with all the power still there Normal version is the Aspect of War... But still has Arteus' normal voice lines

Isnt that just his base skin?

@@chitogekirisaki4459 I can’t send links over youtube comments but look up the legends of runeterra aspect of war art, the difference between the ascended prestige skin and actual aspect of war is staggering. It’s fantastic art that they need to incorporate into an actual skin.

Fires/flames sometimes turn blueish tho.

That's actually kinda ok. Have you ever watched your oven or heather flames? Blue flames are a sign of complete combustion. Gives off the idea of "purer" or "cleaner" fire.

How dare they priotizing making money when making cosmetic in this free to play game

I think they don’t do skin related to lore is just not a lot of people care I mean look at necrit most of his videos no longer focus on lore bits

@@VSasseville9How dare they have to listen to feedback and completely ignore people who want to purchase things with their own money

​@@morbtime9167that is not because nobody cares about lore. There literally is no new lore in league of legends to really cover anymore. Have you missed the whole lore content draught discussion? He can milk just so much out of nothing

​@@VSasseville9 are you aware that they can make more money If they invest more time and effort in designing non generic skins?

First ever time that 95% of all mains are glad they DIDN'T receive a skin lmao

We ain't getting no skins anytime soon bro 😭

Oh that would be so delightfully creepy

Sewn. You are thinking of "sewn". "Sawn" isn't a word. Like at all lol.

Sewn Chaos Blitzcrank would be pretty cool

Let me guess, west coast?

About nine time zones east of that.

our boi forgot to censor that one

Can i have some too? :3

​@barny541 you'll have more

y'all eating while watching this the other guy had a burger XD Well i also had my dinner a gyros in turkish bread

Ok... But what does that have to do with the point he's making

No impulse Control.

Same problem .. now every one has a blood moon skin.. why??? Same for high noon, some champs fit the theme, others NOT at all

​@@alexandreiss0agr276oversaturation always kills skinlines that have no real setting but rather just a thematic Like, literally all of champions can have a DnD skin, because each can have a unique class/subclass + race But what can you do with...japanese oni cultists? Champion on fire Hell, even Pool Party / Snow Day can do better than that Funnily enough, if High Noon reverted back to regular western movie theme, the skinline would look so much better, because now artists can think of new concepts and not just "possessed by demon/angel"

Blood moon is bad because every single champion looks the same with no individuality

Is so bad and that's why I never buy now

nah. it's not the problem about the creatives or the artists, they do their best according to what's they're directed to do and what they're given. creating skins goes through a lot of steps and goes through a lot of people before it's gets approved and the problem in my opinion falls on those people that make those decisions, it's the corporate dogs who thinks passion and having a strict high standard costs time and a lot of money and the management that wants to make profit by just doing the bare minimum amount of work that's why you get skins that just looks like "products" and not cool looking pieces of art.

League skins dont look ai chief. Cherish the art we get now because we're going to be bombarded by actual consistent ai art use very soon.
