The Porcelain skin lost all touch with the porcelain aspects. Now they are just White and Blue. Amumu got the best one

Opportunity missed to make Taliyah that throws pots at you, a truely devastating loss

Porcelain Xerath would’ve been amazing. The spirit trapped within a beautiful ancient jar made by the most talented porcelain artisan to be ever live breaks free but the pieces of the jar are still bound together by the craftsmanships of the artisan.

Just… Where is my porcelain doll Gwen…

listening to skins sfx is an equivalent of listening metal pipe falling sound meme lol

Gwen, Orianna, being porcelain doll, K'sante's weapon being a porcelain shield that BREAKS, and or Even Gnar as a porcelain statur of a beast is a huge missed opportunity

i feel like porcelain Ori would have been perfect choice

I swear if Porcelain Miss Fortune was zoomed not including the gun in the Splash Art you'd say it's Syndra.

just imagine if they actually thought a little bit about ceramic pots, then we would have a great gangplank skin of him shooting the pots with a spiritual explosion coming out of them

Does no one know the term "Bull in a china store" anymore? I know Mythbusters disproved it but still! Alistar would be perfect for that joke here!

now i'm convinced that people buying splash art and not the actual skin

When I saw Irelia I thought she was just another "young" Camille

Personally I think the worst thing about Porcelain coming back is just all the missed champion opportunities. Ori, Gwen, Syndra (throwing vases or tea cups). If we are going for "popular champions", Darius is such a weird choice. I get we may need Irelia and MF in the skinline to get that China money since they are their fave champs, but Darius?

I thought MF was actually shyvanna at first because of that gun.

All these references of Porcelain weaponrey might be a nod to artist Helena Hauss, who has become known for her porcelain statues of axes, guns, greneade and such. I recommend checking it out, her work is super cool

I love how one of the examples you used for cases where it makes sense to change the face was project ashe and she just still looks like ashe but with augments

F this, who wanna play a 10 porcelain skins match with me and break our eardrums?

The rendering on the irelia splash art is amazing, but i cannot get over a couple of things. Her back, once again, broken, or at least heavily contorted like 90% of females in splash arts. Her hands are so big? Her arms seem so long? I'm sure it makes sense if I actually draw over the proportions and with a view that seems to come slightly from below, but with her tiny face it just makes her body look so... large. I've seen people rave about the splash art but I don't see it. Her face not looking like irelia also wouldn't have been as much of an issue if she had her typical long hair.

Porcelain Gwen and Orianna, when???

This. Is why Porcelain Graves doesn't work but Dragon Lantern Graves (Wild Rift) works.

but damn that last splash art for the kindred skin is fire

Riot missed a huge opportinity on Porcelain Milio

We are just missing Alistar porcelain. A bull in a china shop.

It's kinda funny how they gave Irelia sheep horns instead of Kindred in this skinline.

To me personally, the splash art matters just as much as the skin in game.

The issue of this event is the Skins are LOOK the SAME and frankly speaking Aurelion's Legendary does not even look like a legendary skin and I forget.... Year of the DRAGON but it never feels like A Dragon Year

I think a Porcelain Bard could have worked with his chimes and everything

Not gonna lie that splash art for Irelia really looks like it was made via AI and then fixed up. Probably the soulless eyes and the giant ass neck.

Prestige Porcelain Kindred have nothing porcelain in them, it's so weird. The previous one was weirdly human, yes, but at least it looked pretty, especially Wolf's mask. This skinline has less and less porcelain in it. As a Morgana main, I was really hyped up when I heard about her being in this skinline, but they didn't even give her porcelain wings, she's got generic glowing blue wings she had times and times before, albeit with some porcelain details. I'm really disappointed

Taric would've made more sense, have small beautiful porcelain figurines flow around him, and one to link onto a person. Along with his ult having some cool effects, and his mace could maybe work a bit more than an axe or guns xD

MY biggest issues with this patch of skins is the champion choices...NO ONE can convince on how anyone BUT aureluon fits this skinline...putting gunslingers and blade users onto a thematic that emphasises FRAGILE PORCELAIN is insane... Bc not only did they not fit the thematic itself but there were SO MANY better champion choices than what we got... Such as shaco who could've been a porcelain puppet doll, gwen and orianna who would've been porcelain dolls...like yeah these three would all be dolls but the fantasy of the skinline would rise TREMENDOUSLY if it had these choices... nonetheless, riot dropped the ball once again as they do every time with a 2nd batch of a skinline...and it's a shame cuz this was one of the more inventive and innovative lny thematics that riot has came up with in the past few years...

I am happy Lamb is back to being masked but I was really hoping for a new thematic for kindred with the porcelain. Though the skin looks more crystal modus than porcelain in my opinion. Anyone else hoping for a more creepy Kindred skin? like old gods or even fright night? Something to invoke the fear of death.

As an asol main I’m just happy my champ go a legendary AND it’s a skin line he fits in so well

I can't hear sounds that are over 4000Hz so for me the sfx are mostly silent in this skinline. Which suck if you think about it

that kindred prestige skin does look sick af, though!

"We're gonna hold back on skin lines and focus on gameplay" Continues to make a bunch of skinlines that arent great....

I feel like Porcelain Jhin will be the only one with gun that would fit. Since Jhin is such an artistic maniac and porcelain is related with arts and crafts.

would be ironic if this problem was related to riot fireing their best sfx artist

Chinese themed skins back to back when we already have a million skin lines with that theme. I wonder why… Tencent coughs in the background.

I think one thing people forget is that splash art is frequently out-sourced which is the main reason to explain all the jank.

4:00 well you could say MF is a GLASS CANNON!

"Mobile lookin a** splash art"💀

The porcelain soundeffects legit sound like falling metal pipes

"and Ezreal fits the fact that Rioat needs to make monieee" not gonna lie u got me laughing there 🤣

i dont get why after so many years we cant have a setting for changing skins into the base skin for champs. this would solve a lot of issues, like the issue with the sfx as mentioned in the video or spells that are harder to see (a lot of legendary skins have this issue)

And you know there are definitely people who will use the sounds from those skins to screw with people.

THE SOUND IS THE FIRST THING I NOTICED

that prestige kindred splash art at the end goes so hard

*they break*

0:08 Ivern is ballin let him be

That Kindred prestige actually looks so cool

3:33 Porcelain is sometimes used as a word for several different types of ceramic materials. Though mostly the white shiny pottery most know, there are ceramic knifes. They are VERY sharp and tend to stay that way for a long time...

Anyone else getting Elden Ring vibes with Aurelion's death fading away animation? Like when you beat the bosses and they fade away...

I understand Riot was purchased by Tencent but I am sick and tired of Asian-inspired skins and Asian-inspired champions at this point. Few months ago I realized how good League of Legends used to be and how it turned into a flashy Asian-inspired mobile moba that is worse than the games that copied League at this point.

I just wish that Riot made more skins that are a cool concept with champs that fit instead of what sells the best or pleases daddy china

I rarely play league now, and every time i come back i play "who this champion is on new skin splash"

No, no, i think everyone missed the mark with the choice of characters in this year's skinline, cause in my opinion it makes sense! After all, in riot's eyes, someone gotta pay for A Sol legendary that won't bring them thousands of dollars. Although with these sound effects, i don't read them a commercial success Riot is desperate for anyway

I just don't have the kind of free time to be angry about an optional skin line in a video game.

Riot stopped caring about clarity like 10 years ago. Sometimes i have to double check even when i read the name of the champion. Because even the names were changed for some skins...

Yordles are perfect for this skin line and yet we always seem to miss that

Is it just me or Irelia splash looks like AI art? :o

"Aim towards the eastern" you mean only China lol

Star Guardian Rakan has the same issue. Somehow my soundbar breaks after using his ultimate. But only there.

the sfx actually made me feel unwell. i will now pass away xoxo

Kindred mains are weird af, one of the biggest reasons why I bought Spirit Blossom Kindred was because I found a mod to completely remove her mask and here they are crying about the OG Porcelain skin

“Some funny reasons” the 200 dollar skin in the background. What exactly is funny about abusing your community’s dedication to a champion?

I really wish they would be a bit more 'personal' with the faces. I loved when Taliyah was released becaause at least she would be recognisable. And with Swain and Darius (and probably most male champs), they do a reasonable job keeping his face similar between skins. so why can't the woman have something that makes em feel a bit more like actual characters? I'm pretty sure most people loved the visuals for Jinx's face in arcane more than her splash arts from lol just because it feels much more like a person.

Skin thematics are just washing machines that riot throws champs in now, preferably the most popular

Ah yes nothing more soothing to the ears than porcelain breaking

5:16 im pretty sure the skin department didnt know which champions to give the porcelain skins so they used champion randomizer well except for aurelion sol

I can't unsee Porcelain Irelia's blade as Sentinel Irelia's blade

Irelia is based heavily on Chinese sword fantasy (floating swords that atack for you and stuff) so I can see the reason for her single theme that extends across all her skins

Malphite would've been such a great addition to the skinline. I mean, he even "shatters" when his Passive goes down. If they really wanted to add an adc to line, I think Jhin would've been a good choice, he has an artistic theme already after all. I think Taric, Xerath and MAYBE even Zilean would've been good choices as well for the line.

For a second, i thought my cat broke something when you showed SFX

Well, Lunar New Year is 2 weeks ends officially on the 23rd

I like and always have liked the Chinese New Year skins. Well not so much the Lunar Beast line, but the rest I have. I would also love it if they brought back Waring Kingdom skins.

we getting porcelain after dragon scale, but lets not forget that we got dragonmancer skins before this one as well, im burnt out, i want some cooler aesthetics, maybe less serious ones, hopefully in april with april fools

It’s also year of the dragon, so that’s probably why Sol got it.

the sound effects, is same for all skins 😭

It's been a while that I noticed that when it comes to new skin splash arts, it's gotten hard to tell which characters are supposed to be represented on them

Bruh I was not ready for the necrit Genshin lore to pop up that was hilarious! 😂

"not every skin has to have the same face" somehow, somewhere, TBSkyen just woke up and chose violence

my biggest issue is that ezreal got another skin right after getting his 2nd prestige and a regular skin last month for heavenly scale. meanwhile I been waiting for years for some skins for my mains

Darius holding a fan 😂😂

This video inspires me to play a poke build. Constant sound effects all game!

Of all the characters i thought Riven would fit really well, with her 'broken' rune sword.

I think the kindred preststige will be 2000 events points, but hope to be 125 essence i prefer

Have high frequency hearing loss on one side, i loved the look of the line when the first skins came out but i cant play with it cus the sound effects causes headaches. sad to hear they never fixed it. : /

It also seems weird to release a Tiger themed porcelain skin for Darius with the Year of the Dragon skinline. It's as if they didnt manage to get it done last year when it actually was Year of the Tiger and they squeezed it in this time.

3:13 "The effects are stellar." Necrit making puns without even realizing it 😝.

For a decade Orianas death sound was my bench mark for ear cancer. Thank you miss fortune for finally giving me a sound effect i hate more

Thank god I am not the only one who had a problem with the sfx in this skinline. Last time these skins came out, the people I talked too didn't get what I was saying, but for me being a Kindred main, their porcelain skin was unplayable for me. The sound effects actually started to give me really bad headaches and I stopped using that skin all together after a week. It was so bad!

Better video than the previous one, thanks

Funny how opposite of "same face syndrom" we have Talon that have different faces on every single skin

I think Porcelain Ezreal fits because his skills are energy fired from his glove, therfore his glove being porcelain makes sense and he is shooting the energy from his glove. Also his W shaters when he hits it with an ability or attack dealing bonus dmg from the "shaterred potcelain"

Porcelain Kindred also has the issue, that it kept all the default animations. Spirit Blossom Kindred was able to cover that with the clothes but Porcelain can't. I talk in particular about the idle animation, where she stands on one leg and looked around - stretching her neck in the process. Default Kindred and the other skins don't make that weird but the Porcelain one makes it look extremely off and goofy. If you want a modern comparison - skibidi toilet Kindred basically.

Darius heavily reminded me of Gara from Warframe. A warrior with glass armor and she even got the glass hammer-axe thing released alongside her.

Okay, so it wasnt just me who found sound FX of porcelain skins terrible... And as much as I love Miss Fortune and Kai'Sa, there are so many champs that are more deserving of lunar skins, but riot is focused on milking as much as they can, yet again

I still love that darius' icon resembles more of Yoru from valorant than darius himself

When he said darius I was actually relieved, because I thought it was gonna be Olaf when he was talking about an axe 😂
