Kai'sa gets sexy latex power armor. Kassadin becomes Darth Vader

Allegedly the suit, symbiote thing keeps her protected from the void sickness thing

Kai'sa, despite having lived in the Void for years, looks like a suoermodel, which makes me think that maybe the Void isn't that dangerous. Just for starters, that perfectly conditioned hair messes everything up. Like are you telling me that there's a fuckin hair salon in the VOID?!

@@carlfromaccounting1112 the void is sexist confirmed

@@carlfromaccounting1112 I think that can be considered her trying to look less like a monster, since Everytime she tries to save somebody from the void they end up running away screaming thinking she's one of the monsters

that was kind of the point, riot wanted to make a samus aran champion, a badass woman in a suit surviving alone in another planet (the void in this case) but instead of using the power armors for inspiration they went with the zero suit samus rute xD they only kept the shoulder pads and the helmet, but then she TAKES OFF THE HELMET, at least there is a toggle but come on

Yeah you know, Void parasites that fuses with your skin gives you a power ranger outfit, makes perfect sense.

@@nezothgarone2319 I agree what the hell Riot? She looks like she had time to fix her make up in a Monster ridden dimension no wounds no muscles and for some reason a perfect understanding of the outside world she was taken by the void at a "Young" Age yet she seems more knowlegable than Olaf.

For years? Isnt Kaisa a new Champ?

@@shaddow3851 shes been out for about 3, thats not really new.

I remember they said something about It being from Piltover, but i might be wrong

@@graveslayer9666 He often travelled to Piltover, since he was a guide for merchants and travellers, so it is very possible he has Piltover/Zaun gear too. Still wish he got a rework though, his character is very underrated, he's basically LoL's doomslayer.

@@reno9821 they should just give him the same visual rework they gave to caitlyn

@@graveslayer9666 I hope they give him an ASU some day too. He technically got one like six years ago but he would really benefit from one now that they're holding them to higher standards.

@@graveslayer9666 He most likely will, eventually

40k references here? Unexpected but welcomed greatly

@@luluthescylla7162 considering that there are a few references to 40k in league (such as Darius and Garren skins) I think some more influence would be welcome.

I don't remember it being fused to Mortarions face, doesn't he remove it once in a while or am I misremembering cause I could of swore he removed it when he met Guilleman for the first time.

@@mrcaterpillow9926 His chaos primarch looks like it's part of his mouth. Admittedly, I haven't read his newer staff, I just know of his exploits in the heresy. Point being, I think his current look and his model looks like it would be a great starting point for Kassadin.

Yes brother it would be a good ideea to see kass like that.

spoiler: [REDACTED] is not on this list

Oh, you mean ser

worst designed but my weiner disagrees

I imagine she's gonna appear on the "missed potential" list too. Kai'Sa could have been an absolutely excellent character if Riot would have simply decided to ignore the sex appeal and go hard on the "girl fused with a voidborn" idea. The possibilities are absolutely endless with that character, which makes it all the more annoying that it just wasn't explored.

@@Shabowdiadlo You mean Seraphine?

Kayle needs more love from Riot, the other Kayle skins are more Kayle than Kayle herself, to be an aspect of justice that has to impose the law and that hose things , seem more Mercy from overwatch the truth when I started playing her when I started thinking it was support.

Cheap mmo? Yeah of course gay kid. In terms of PC gaming lol is the most cheap game. Also lol is nothing but a overrated rip off of dota 2. Understand this cringe kid of lol

Let me remind you the game you are calling cheap is doing much better at balance and toxicity

that's fine it balances out having Jhin in your roster

Yi basically looks like a fucking Action figure.

Her design in LoR is so much better

Yes

I have 3 juicer videos to look forward to

yea

I'm offended Qiyana wasn't even in the mentions, now pay me 100$

So Sera isn't a champion at all or what? Where is she?

Riot got bought out by tencent in 2015, add one and a half years for when champions start to get made vs when they release and the first champions designed under 100% tencent control are: Xayah and Rakan. Hey look at that, the start of the Sexy humanoid character design spree we are still on.

@@ultratog1028 Sexy humanoid character design spree? am I missing something here? I looked at champions by release date the other day for fun, and the majority were just humans, seraphine, viego, akshan, gwen, rell etc

@@thegames4565 well lilia is a humanoid. the point is tencent just like every other eastern gaming company, focuses on selling sexy characters rather than the built up designs a lot of western community is used to. Look at HiRez and Smite, they have sexy characters but they also have monsters and weird looking characters. Ever since Tencent bought league of legends, we only get sexified characters. Sad.

Where is making the best brew? Is this in healing from throwing barrels of booze or buying Rabadon's?

>fact >i think

@@indrickboreale7381 he went to FL looking for some newer ingredients

@@somo4227 I know. I'm talking about his gameplay mechanics only. Gragas' lore is pretty solid

@@indrickboreale7381 he already made it with addition of true ice or shit like that.

What I live about Kassadin‘s breathing apparatus that it’s sells how the Void is an alien, deadly atmosphere. Yes, they could make his stuff look more Shuriman. Maybe loose the unnecessary spikes, unless the idea is they’re part of his mutations.

His lore is still awesome, he just needs a visual update. Like, at least give him legs

I started with mundo, yeah I play nurgle

@@carlossanblas5807 If you know what Trundle looked like before he became an ICE troll... Well, that was a true champion of Nurgle!

@@pivo512 Aw yes, the classic trundle XD

Oh yeah forgot that she commit homer-cide (homicide) [insert comedic laugh]

I thought her headband were devil horns

Tibbers is one of the 10 demons, the devil of impotence (?) Thats why she k*lled her family unwillingly. So I actually like Annie’s story

@@BalinAila 1 : This comment was made before she was released on LoR and got a lore update. Tibbers was just some unknown local demon that took vessel in the stuffed toy Annie's mom was making for her while pregnant 2 : I brought up her backstory to talk about how her design could be changed. And LoR's version of Annie is just much better with barely any changes. More medieval clothing and a backpack that actually looks like someone moving a lot would use in Noxus, and the uniform color of the headband's *combined with darker lighting on her splash arts actually makes them look like devil horns rather than cat ears. Not 10/10 design, but it works very well

not only the female characters.

For me Kai'Sa also fits perfectly into the "wasted potential" The concept of a void symbiosis with a human is dope, and could've been approached very nicely of leaning more into the monstrous side and less into Scarlett Johansson

His breathing apparatus looks like Ridley Scott or H.R. Giger could have sculpted it.

Love that he puts gwen the same as genshin impact characters. It's so fitting lol, fcking attractive anime figure for horny sex appeal with no depth is all I can see for both genshin and gwen

There is definitely a lot of anti mage mixed in, both design and gameplay wise

Yeah amumu need some accessories perhaps a little more of color and he's good to go. He can be the shuriman yordle

@@Soulxstar nah it will lose main his main purpose

I think he should remain as a former human. He's a child that died under mysterious circumstances. Turning him into a yordle, takes that sadness away.

@@bobcipher8054 No, his lore doesnt confirm what he is, but hes treated and marketed as a yordle

I think they should go the other way and turn him into an abomination of rotten flesh and cloth. Unable to live, unable to die and unable to touch. Constantly decaying, yet everlasting. Every moment of his miserable existence a hellish torture for him and any poor soul who unknowingly crossed paths with the cursed mummy...

Dunno. I guess it's a personal opinion here, but Kayle is much better than Furia.

@@antongrigoryev6381 they are pretty similar, (And tbh Furia was so much better designwise when she was just thunder thighs)

Gwen's design is good if you take it for what it is, really. If you ignore the fact that she *could* have been better if she were actually a doll, she does very much fit the design of "humanized doll".

I think shes a victim of context, and at least she as an ore explanation to look this way, I mean why should Isolde design a doll ugly on purpose. And in her lore, it is stated that she was turned into a human and not into a half doll half human.. thingy.

I think they said after the Volibear update, that they don't think updates to other champions are really neccessary

Apparently, the Ruination makes everyone sexier, look at Miss Fortune, Shyvana, Karma and Draven...

@@SilverWarrior95 true, but i think that it's more on the fault of the concept and design of the ruined skins. Even then, despite being visually appealing, their personalities were turned into warped and corrupted versions of why they succumbed to Viego to begin with, at least with MF and Shyvana. Draven and, to a certain extent, Pantheon the dead aspect of war were malevolent to begin with. Karma, I have no clue how and why she even got corrupted even after reading her part in the ruination game event

Not to mention, the whole Shadow Isles themselves were made that way because of Viego. The original Ruination was the one who made Hecarim, Kalista, and Thresh in addition to the countless natives of the Blessed isles and visitors from Camavor. A big portion of the SI card designs in LoR are based on the corruption that Viego brought and as far as I can remember not much of them looked too pretty either.

I was fine with Gwen's design at first but after the event and her voice line's changed I STARTED HATING HER because in her new voice line's she is almost as selfish as if not more than viego she is willing to keep Isolde scattered and fragmented if it means that she stays with her and not with viego no matter what ( I am not counting the plot twist in the ruined king game because in my opinion it was a very bad writing choice and alot of people agree with that it was) she also straight up tell yorick to be nice to the maiden that is TOURTURING him if that is not narcissistic I don't know what it is ? She is as obbssive with Isolde as viego only defrecnce is that she isn't trying to destroy the world to bring her back ( although she is willing to keep her fragments away from him even though he would stop everything if he got her back and keeping her away from him and locking him away DOSENT solve any problems but is delayeing it and let IT snow ball all the way down ) and that no one is calling her out on that I was fine with her design at first because I thought she was going to be a beacon of hope for the shadow isels characters that she is going to bring the good and humanity left in yorick, maokai, and maybe even viego I would have loved if they had a Thanos and gamora type of relationship and I would have loved if it turned out that yorick or maokai were the ones who taught her about the hallowed mist that way she can have more conictions to the shadow isels but THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN , her dynamic with viego is so genaric with no coplixity WHATSOEVER and she doesn't intercat with yorick until the very end and we all know how that turned out , and doesn't know about maokai at all She is such a wasted character both design wise and Lore wise

@@miss.mirana4061 yeah, they totally forgot that The Maiden is permanently torturing yorick, trying to push him towards becoming part with the mist

Nidalee is so bad he forgot that she existed

nidalee is for boomers@@pierfrancescoferrarese1074

in his lore, kassadin was a merchant of artifacts, every single part of his armor is soposed to be from random ruins, the design of every single part should be distinct from one another but the in game/splash art design looks like it is a propper suit with some parts missing instead of random relics picked form random places put together on a wim

That's how it is. The voids influence has also changed the armor, in fact the horns Kassadin has are part of his mutation.

The color is absolutely not the only problem.

Yeah, I watched her cinematic, she's a child-tragedy character, SO WHYY WOULD SHE WEAR CAT EARSSS?!

Man, I feel like most people doesn't remember the villainess Mage on the old Conan the Destroyer. I'm pretty sure Leblanc was inspired from the character and makes me think her character design was justified. I mean Tryndamere was inspired by Conan the barbarian himself.

I don't mind Leblanc being a pretty face, what I do mind is that her clothing is non-sensical. Leblanc is a being with immense power that works in the shadows, unless she wants to lure someone in she's not showing up, and you do not lure people in with that... body suit thingy she's wearing. That shit looks so odd anyone with a single braincell would notice there's a problem, nobody dresses up like that, not in any Runeterran country and not even in our world.

@@markopusic8258 I think that adds to the character though, speaking about the Runeterra design of course

@@markopusic8258 looking at het black rose followers in LOR shes fine

I'm surprised that sera wasn't even on the list since she is, to me, THE worst champion design in lol ever. Even kai'sa is better designed than her.

But she is. Sera is bad, but at least she looks like what she is suposed to be: a basic indie pop girl. Gwen looks NOTHING like a doll from the shadow isles.

@@x-nimator9997 Seraphine is bad cause she just isn't a league character and was never meant to be, she is a KDA character with a league skin stapled on

@@Marcos750418 Seraphine just isn't a league character though, she's exactly what nicky complained about when it comes to how monster champions are ignored in favour of generic nothing characters, also seraphine again isn't a league character, She's a KDA character who has a league skin

Yeah, I agree, but that doesn't change the fact that she has a "canon" version in runeterra that fits it's purpose much better than gwen. It's clear that KDA sera is the true champion.

Look, deep lore, but kassadins ' gas mask, is a gas mask from zaun.

the thing i have a grudge with the most are the spikes pointing IN she legit cannot bend down or else she stabs herself

@@bigvidboi4909 yeah, hence why I said Kayle's updated design doesn't look reasonable, the new armor they gave her isn't even practical.

Honestly, they could have kept the armor and when she levels up she loses it but replaces it with holy fire or something like that.

True, it does makes sense looking at it that way. Personally, I would like it if rather she started with heavy armour, weighing her down, and as she ascends, her armour is replaced with more holy attire. As she becomes more powerful, she becomes something closer to perfection. Heavy bulkiness gets replaced into sleek and efficient. Of course, in the end, it's really just a preference of how one would wish to see her representation of power become stronger.

Yeah man I agree. I don't see people making the same arguments for taric or panth. Hell taric is the protector and he doesn't wear armor or have a shield.

ok but then she should also become more divine and less human-looking. Her final form shouldn't be waifu mode

@@throstlewanion I see your point and while a otherworldy godlike being (smth in the biblically accurate angel direction or so) would be interested a lot of gods are depicted as idealized humans in a regard so it atleast makes sense that she is pretty in my eyes Horrifying weird alien angel would be hella cool tho!! (might lose the contrast between beautifull outside horrifying inside but eh worth it)

But by that token becoming armour instead of flesh and blood creature also fits the lore too she would also have to lose the sword...

"Gwen is immume" is one the worst gameplay mechanics/design in the game

@@mikevos4460 I agree with that, I love the rest of her tho.

@@mikevos4460 I understand that but there are a lot of abilities that can be argued to be just as BS, look at yas windwall, it literally makes everyone on your team hiding behind it immune to projectiles, yone literally has a Zed R on his E, akshan exists. In the grand scheme of game breaking bs Gwen is bad but there is some worse out there certainly.

@@armanroyai6601 that's why i said one of. Since yes there are for sure more terrible mechanics

*happy Vel'Koz main noises*

*Angry Bard Chimes*

Ornn?

@@AchievingMan ornn's design is genius too

vel koz is just a beholder tho.

Make Kai'Sa look more like Kerrigan as well, she is already part way there.

Tryndamere I feel like it’s such a waste because like, his lore is so cool. In canon, he has his q, an accelerated healing and monstrous rage that makes even the harshest and most brave warriors of Ashe terrified of him once they see him angry. And, the reason he has this healing and all this shit it’s because Aatrox is kinda grooming him. Aatrox was the one that killed his village and left him for dead, but he saw his rage and unwillingness to die so he kinda gave a piece of himself to him, to grow more powerful as his rage goes on. It could be an awesome design showing a bit of the redness and corruption of Aatrox when his rage is full or he uses his ultimate.

@@mistercleff8819 The problem with his connection to Aatrox is that it's a remnant of Aatroxs *old* lore. In the new version Aatrox is mad and convinced that the only way for him to find peace is to annihilate everything else. Then it begs the question: why would he foster a berserker? It's neither in line with his motivation nor mentioned in his own core lore. I agree their bond COULD be very interesting but it only goes one way as of now because Aatrox was completely revamped while Trynda got left in the dust.

As a matter of fact, the breathing aparatus does come from Zaun. As a matter of fact most of his stuff is not shuriman besides the netherblade of horok as far as i know.

did you just give FIVE reasons why Jhin is good? Drop your address, we're about to fight

jhin is indeed the perfect champ, 1- solid idea 2- solid execution also because kindred came to be thanks to him 3- solid gameplay, balanced and fun in both cases, against him or playing him 4- solid theme, lore and in game script delightfully sublime

@@nezothgarone2319 4 perfection, as all things should be..

Instead of bright plasticky yellow clothing they should make the material more like other ionian champs like Yasuo

The Void is just biased towards women ig 💀

sorta except for the fact that she literally has mind control. You don't need to wear revealing clothes to use mind control... Also there has never been a manipulative person I've seen in my whole life that wears lingerie as their daily active wear. just think to yourself. would a manipulative man wear the same damn clothes to get people to bend to their will?

@@LevityRhodes Like i said, i'm not disagreeing when it comes to the original design, it is just underwear on there, it's more how he complained about the runeterra design which did change that. Also, the casanova trope exists and has been explored various times with a shirtless guy, i could totally a design similar to sett, maybe a little softer looking, being used as a manipulator type character.

See the thing is, all those things, is what makes Gwen great. But they literally made her look like a generic cute Genshin character. She can still be a magical girl in a cute dress with giant magic scissors, while also looking like a doll someone made at the age of 12 come to life. With button eyes, or limb proportions that are just SLIGHTLY off. There's a lot of wasted potential in her design imo. What she is, is fine. She just could've been so much more

@@Ghilannugs I agree with you 100%, I do not however agree that she is a worse design then seraphine, I’m happy that at least a couple other people actually know her lore instead of looking at her splash art.

@@armanroyai6601 i think Seraphine and Gwen both should be in another category, with wasted potential. Sure they both hit the mark for what they went out to do. But neither lives up to what they could've been if the design went another angle

Yeah. She has some problems, true, but she's far from being worthy of a spot on this list. Her armor is very Demacian-looking, especially if you look at Demacian cards in LoR. And the "Mobile Legends" complaint is stupid. It's something you could attribute to, like, more than a half of LoL female Champions. imo Leona is worse than Kayle. They have a close theme which makes comparison easier.

She's ascending because she rejects her human heritage. So the idea of more armor would be to cover her up to hide her humanity. She is but a soldier demanding justice instead of an expressive angel.

@@amandaslough125 But nothing about Kayle looks 'human' even with her helmet off, she looks like an otherworldly being. It makes more sense to embrace figure then cover it up with 'mortal' armor. She is 'transcended' no need for armor at all.

@@OmenLamb concept: Greek Gods and Gods in general, alot of their art is them but ass naked but each time in their myths they get armour and weapons that protects them and more-so for devine people aspiring to BECOME Gods, this is why Perseus Pantheon is one of the favourites skins of my peers, he looks more Godly and Greek and such but still keeps to character Being devine doesnt mean you go and become a waifu because she becomes less humane but they insist on giving her more sexualised physique for a woman who's job is being brutal justice, if anything mroe armour fits her because more armour exemplifies the brutality and rigidness of law (Ahem knights and gaurds) Rant over, have a nice day, in the end RITO has the final say and every design can work if executed well

@@magniwalterbutnotwaltermag1479 Well they executed Kayle pretty well. Pantheon is a mortal, Kayle is trying to 'transcend' beyond mortality, there's a reason goddesses in most mythologies were less armour and look less bulky. I don't know why you want the Aspect of Justice, a symbol of peace to look hideous & Monstrous like Mordekaiser instead of otherworldly beautiful like more gods. Knights and Guards? why do you want her too look like a mortal she's transcending from that not trying to look like them, they need that armor she doesn't. Leona is an aspect and wears full Armor but putting her side to side with a 'transcended' Kayle she looks like a mortal while Kayle looks Godly so I don't know why you people love armor so much even Rell in her full armor doesn't look as close to being a powerful as Kayle. I don't know why you assume More Armor = More Brutality, Demacian wear full armor but don't look brutal at all, Noxians wear full armor but aren't even close to looking as brutal as Volibear's Ursine who wear no armor.

@@OmenLamb the concept of brutality is not just the brutish might makes right, there is a reasonnwhy i also brought up rigidness as kayle represent an executioner more akin to the ideals of Noxis as others like TBskyen points out as a subversionnof most demacian ideals, she is described almost like the Wolf kindred, an avenger Mortality also does nothing for excusing wearing less armour, Janna is another of these as her attire makes her seem neither like a Goddess worshipped by the downtrodden nor like an aetherial being because they can't commit to neither Sea nor Heavenly figure, and knowing the demacian aesthetics make sense Being devine and transcending mortality is not equivalent to revoking your protection, again kayle is aspiring to ascend and what better way is there than to be prepared, she still NEEDS to WORK to transcend, if anything the more she works the more she has to struggle until she achieves her goal Most people already theorize that her and morgana are subversions of either the Valkyrie (warrior women who guide the dead) and Hel (a woman representing death but is peaceful) and even Morgana's name is that of a woman from european myth, the connections are there and if anything leaning into them just fits I think you just don't realize that kayle is brutish in terms of executing (ehe) the law compared to her sister and the story should reflect that because we have nothing else aside from tiny bits and pieces of dialouge to put that together, the fiddlesticks rework does it best because he looks and act like a puppet, his lines express his inability to think and mimics things, its basically storytelling without having to exposite anything

People (myself included) don't really have a problem with the fact that they have this "E-boy/girl" aesthetic. It's that we are geeting so damn many of them.

@@Gnomgnash A lot of people are treating it like the aesthetic itself is an issue and the amount of.them is a different issue. I do agree that the amount could be cut down on a lot, but as designs themselves, a lot of people treat every single one like they're bad, when really only a handful of the designs actually are

I'm on the same boats, the expectation of what a "doll" champion should be and the context of her release (along other hot champions) really hurts the perception others have of her. But in a vacuum, I think the "creepy life-sized doll" is actually an overplayed archetype (not in league but in media in general), so having a wholesome twist with Gwen being Isolde's representation of what a pretty princess is, well, it's kinda cool, and it plays into the other meaning of doll (which is the "perfect" features). And she's cute and endearing, so yeah, I like her

@@Korinengamecorp well said and I agree and between Gwen, Oriana and Shaco they all three fill that void of the stereotypical enchanted doll. Hopefully Oriana gets a VU like Caitlin and Shsco a VGU. I believe eventually they will realest a champion just that but for now those three fill that void for me!!!!

So that's why she is dress like a stripper in a mini dress and heels
