This took WAY longer to put out than I wanted, and honestly i fear the algorithm is gona throw this one in the toilet but honestly. I've been working on it for so long I felt like i just had to finish it. For one just to get a video out. And for two because I am very passionate about the subject matter

Literally an hour before this video has gone live Riot announced they would be updating in game Unbound Thresh to look more like he does in the cinematic. That's what I get for being slow at making videos I guess :( but it does make me hopeful that Riot will continue to do more stuff like this in the future. People deeply care about your characters Riot, listening to them is a very good idea :0 In any case, this video isn't PURELY about just the design of Unbound Thresh so hopefully you fellas can still find some enjoyment out of it :)

I hope u will make the video u did last year, like the review of the 2020 champs, i really hope u will make that video sometimes im rewatching it. Thanks nick for making us these great videos.

The rumblings I've heard through the grapevine is that Riot did NOT anticipate how much negative backlash the Sentinels event was going to get, which I think goes to show that it's marketing and sales people running the show right now, with writers and artists just trying to do the best they can under the circumstances.

Idea Guys flesh out this really cool thing people will like because of its execution or uniqueness and Marketers actually make it KNOWN so there is an audience to actually pay for or enjoy it. But marketers are what actually bring in money, so you'll hire more and more of them to help better finance. Eventually leads to a situation with a lot more marketers than Idea Guys, so they can sell or make profits...but they're not actually selling or capitalizing off of GOOD or FUN PRODUCTS and will rehash whatever few new creative things they still make.

The notion of ‘’Monster champion’’ is also really large and allows for a lot of creative themes. I’ve just got back into LoL and I decided to learn Kindred because their design, lore and voice lines are just amazing. It would be difficult to do something like them with human-looking characters.

I’m very anti meta. I hate seeing the same picks every game. While I don’t play some of the harder champions in a way, I’m never gonna play a guy like yone or yasuo because I get annoyed so much by seeing them in game all the time. I gravitate to ones more like Kayle, Nocturne, Tristana, Vi, Diana, Nasus, and Garen cause they all are super fun to play while not being overplayed. If I see a champ appear more often in my game, that makes me less likely to want to pick them up. I’m probably gonna pick up Reksai next just because she’s in that same category of fun champ

As pessimistic as it is going to sound, the only way we will ever get back to a time where monster champions/characters were a thing... the gaming market will need to crash. I don't want the industry that I grew up with as a kid to go through another market crash that nearly destroyed the medium. However, it will need to go through one in order to weed out the investors, stockholders, and marketers who pretty much have the gaming industry by the balls. Only then can we ever go back to a simpler time where people could create whatever they want without the mighty dollar telling them how it should be made.

I mean, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t meant to be a subversion of expectations in any way, just another way to mess up the lore just for the sake of putting hot anime boy once again. Probably if Viego was out in 2014-2017, he’d look a lot more like Kalista or Ledros in LoR, like a ghoul, because in the whole LoR cards, there is no ghoul/wraith that is really human, either it’s a ghost, either a monstrosity

@@ebilveryebil3091 Because they're right to an extent, and not only right, the logic follows. There's a reason why girls (using girls intentionally instead of women) are memed to only play supports, and not only supports, only enchanter supports. And my personal experience supports it, all the women I met in league played enchanters or if delegated to mid, it's always Ahri, Lux, Kata, all those champs have vastly different playstyles but one key similarity, they're all female. Now, I'm not gonna go on a tirade about how women literally can't relate to anything non female (yes, even rek'sai) but I will say this, what you main MATTERS, and it matters a LOT. Sure, it doesn't apply for 100%, but there are CLEAR guidelines about psychology of people depending on what they main. Now, I will talk only about high elo for couple of reasons. 1. Low elo players don't really ''stick to a champion'' and just move around, rarely truly OTPing a champ. 2. Only way you can stay with a champ for long enough to get to high elo is perserverance and that requires you to both love their design AND gameplay, so it's up to game developer to sell lore/theme of the champ together with gameplay, and they're always praised when they succeed in combining it properly! I've met 3 high elo Rengar OTPs so far, and they're all fucking psychos both in game and IRL. I've met 7(including me) high elo Thresh OTPs and they're all fucking sexual degenerates IRL. I've met 2 Braum and Ornn mains in high elo, and what a surprise, they are wholesome guys. Oh look at that, a female in Diamond 2-1? Of course, it's Soraka main. Exceptions are there, even mentioned in this video, in the ''niche'' argument, but there are certain champs that attract certain types of people, you can't escape that reality. But it's NOT something that affects real life TOO much... for a player... But when you're in charge of biggest game in the world, and you're purely financially driven... you're going to find out that even 3% decrease in champion play rate (and play rate converts into buy skin rate) will make you simply not release monster champs, cause even 3% is giant pile of cash for them (and I can't say for sure since I can't access Riot's stats overall, but my personal feel is that monster champs have about 15-20% less play rate from the start, compared to average good looking 20 something years old, 6 abs, double Ds tits champions).

@@washada ​ Absolutely not sadly, I've only applied my psychology background combined with personal experience playing the game. Sadly, no one would ever even let me do such a research because sadly, getting results such as ''Female gender has far less capability of identifying with a character unless it is a female too'' will never ever be published as result in the West, no matter how thorough the testing is. Just trust me, no matter how much we meme women for being soraka/lulu otps, if she ain't enchanter and/or ahri,lux main on mid, that IS a red flag. Sadly, not all champions have such strong community like Rengar, Thresh, Riven, etc, and since I only apply any data from people who main them, aka over 1000 or 1000s of games on certain champ, obviously people who are ready to invest that much time in a certain champion in a certain game have high possibility, or at least increased possibility of not being mentally adjusted, so I might be only looking at skewed ''who's wrong how'' based on mains and totally ignoring people who, for example, main GP but only play 5 games a month on him. But that's okay for me, rarely I've been interested in ''normies'' (although using that term unironically is cringe).

At this point Riot are spraying at their own feet with a sub-machine gun, Ekko and Pyke are among League's most popular champions and very well designed characters. Pyke's gameplay pisses me off because he's the prime example of how League breeds selfishness where the "support" is actually an assassin who can easily get pentakills by smashing the R button to pieces but he's a good character in terms of story and design.

Thank you for really diving into the the niche champion angle. I really despise Riot's stance that monstrous champ designs don't resonate when they keep assigning kit's that appeal to a niche playerbase to those champions. It's always been the gameplay ultimately driving popularity. Like you mentioned in the video, Quinn, Illaoi, Yorick, Kayle; their gameplay is not broadly appealing, so regardless of design they are niche. But Riot's really gonna gaslight people into thinking only monstrous champs are niche and that it's because they are monstrous. IMO it's not far from their logic behind Twisted Treeline. They didn't ever work on it because it was more niche, but a lot of people wouldn't play it because it was so poorly balance due to the lack of attention it received.

I'm not excited for anything that League has going for it in the future. I'm fine with playing the game because I find it fun and all, but when it comes down to it there's no indication that Riot plans on stopping this homogenized anime design train anytime soon. Sure, Vex has had her champion trailer release and it's the first non-anime character we've had in a while (and her animations are pretty cool), but she feels like the Neeko in between Kai'Sa and Sylas, wherein we'll be getting more of the same later on anyway. If I wanted to play an anime game, I'd go play Danganronpa or Guilty Gear Strive, not League of Legends.

Weeell, to be perfectly fair, League of Legends HAS had anime influence right from the beginning, we've got dudes like - Yi (proto Yasuo) - Ezreal (who on release had weird 'whiskers' on his cheeks like Naruto for no reason) - the Kinkou ninjas - Sona (essentially Hatsune Miku ported into the game) - Lux (created by Riot Shurelia, a huge fan of Touhou who made Lux as a reference to Kirisame Marisa of that game) Admittedly they were in the minority at the time, but there was never any doubt that League did, in some degree, pander to weebs - and, in moderation, that's perfectly fine. What I can't stand is how Riot has completely lost any sense of perspective on what made their character design great to chase that weeb/K-pop stan dollar. Anime is not the enemy, the profit incentive is.

I would like to address a few points in this video to give some insights into this Chinese gaming situation. China took censorship a bit too far. Games meant for underaged audiences could not have words like "kill" or "death" so they instead opted for "defeat". League of legends is rated 16+ over here so all the skeletons and "violent word choices" are mostly unaffected, but for some reason all the red blood effects got censored. Over here we call Vlad and Darius "petrol lords" because their VFX are black instead of red, which is just outright rediculous. The censorship meant for LOR is detailed in this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtKSodh1ttTPfGQ.html, but note that LOR never made it to China for whatever reason. Instead, the censorship applies to Korea and Taiwan and probably a bunch of other countries that share a similar censor philosopy with China. I do not think Xin and Jarvan are popular in China because of their asthetics, but instead, their brain dead gameplay. Chinese players call Tryndamere, Xin and Master Yi "蛮易信", the brain dead trio, and other champs like Jarvan, Morde and Garen are a similar case. They are everywhere in low elo but the higher up the ladder you go, the less you see them. The Chinese server is run by Tencent and they are notoriously known for excessive monetization. Think of their gaming department as the Chinese version of EA, just a lot bigger, and a lot worse. That includes randomly making a new skin "exclusive" or "limited" and selling it for twice the original price, to rigging the rates of Hextech Crafting. Ask any Chinese LOL player and he could tell you how he got Hillybilly Gragas and Deep Sea Kog'Maw out of every single Hextech Chest. Dragon fist Lee Sin is just another example of hungry marketing. Tencent figured out a way to implement GACHA into LOL and this is the only way that dragon fist Lee Sin could be obtained. Most players hate them but some whales are keeping this system afloat. I believe this dragon fist problem improved after the release of Dragonmancer Lee Sin because now nobody gives a fuck about dragon fist anymore, but who knows what Tencent would come up with next time.

Is there really similar censorship in Japan? Plenty of Japanese video games and anime are full of undead stuff, skulls, and blood, and I've never heard of Western games/movies being censored. Look at Jojo-- the only censorship in Jojo is in the West (censoring Jotaro smoking for whatever reason, most of the really gory stuff, and Stroheim's Nazi salute). Hell, Jojo actually pokes fun at East Asian superstitions with Mista, who's deathly fear of the number four is played as comedy.

@@bengrz13 I'll comment on this as well. Although I'm not actually Japanese (yes, so all of this could be wrong. But some of them makes sense to me so I'll write here anyways). I actually looked a lot into Japan in the past in 2016 when I still watched anime to see the reason why anime plots and writings are just so trash that it hurts, much like the sentinels event writing. Basically the Japanese government gave up on anime, manga. They just don't care 1 bit about those stuff, bc most Japanese actually don't like animes/mangas. Don't get me wrong, some of them do watch anime but the anime that Japanese watch are mostly actually kid shows like aggretsuko and anime is actually despised among the people due to them ruining the image of Japanese tradition and rules. For example: There's an anime called wataten, which is the most vile thing ever, a grown woman actually lusting for a fcking child. No matter it is funny or not (which I don't see as funny, it's just gross) it is actually bizzare how this come to be since in Japan, u can't even come in contact or even near the child if you are not their family relatives and the action in the anime is immediately get caught by the police since in Asia in general, there are lots of police stations with many police swarming the streets. And many other traditions like workplace in Japan, education in Japan is just different than anime. And bc now Japan is mostly known through anime, at least online. Many people despised them and the government just don't care about it and let it go however it wants to go. That's why in the anime industry, massive underwage employees and trying to lick the West's boots writers goes rampant made anime what it is (a bunch of nonsense, elementary writing bs) with a few exceptions of actually good animes like Jojo and some others that I forgot the names of I am from Vietnam so more or less, at least in the same Asian part like Japan so at least I can confirm that with the etiquette of being serious about education and morals and stuff like that. Anime is just so plainly wrong that sometimes it is just stupid to think that anime is from Japan, it would make more sense if it's from the West Edit: Forgot conclusion, so the reason why most Japanese video games and anime bs are full of gory stuff is bc Japan mostly stopped caring about them as long as they are shipped outside of Japan, but not "In" Japan. In Japan, those things are actually restricted as most of the bloody games are definitely not really popular and only on PC which is fortunate for the government since most Japanese people don't play PC games anyways, iphones and consoles are the number 1 choices. And there is a superstition of all Japanese like cute stuff, I've actually heard about it too. I don't know if it's true or not, but at least I can confirm that the cute is 'absolutely not cute anime girls" , but more like cute animals like hello kitty and aggretsuko merch Second edit: Sorry for the essay, I'm actually Vietnamese so my English might be bad which is yes in Asia and close in traditions to Japan, China, Korea, Malaysia, etc

Hugs from Brazil! I just want to congratulate you on being so dynamic and entertaining during the whole video. You know something I feel, deep down? That if Riot doesn't hire (yes, to work for them) popular names, influencers, and streamers that make this MASSIVE community move - they will, like a candle - get less and less popular, until eventually after numerous attempts from the competition, they will finally release a 5v5 MOBA that is more entertaining and doesn't fail in the same aspects as League. For me, right now, Riot should populate their workforce with people who actually LOVES the game and not just people who have to achieve selling goals. Imagine if they had big names such as Tobias Fate, Tyler1 and TFBlade forming a group, to share ideas? ... and not only limited to the most popular high elo players - also groups representing Gold/Plat/Diamonds as well, and using them to filter what the community really wants for the game, Stonks.

I feel like looking back on elder wood Ornn is a great example of everyone still having an interest in monster champs. If monster champions are truly as unpopular at Riot says, then the skin sales would say otherwise. Elderwood Ornn raised more than $7 million in skin sales. Overall, I did somewhat appreciate Riot bringing attention to this, seeing as how they actually are pretty good at taking feedback. I like that they are becoming more broad with how they define champion types. Instead of just having humans and monster, they also have humanoid characters like vastayans and human like animals. And I also like how riot says they want to shift their design more towards non humans champions in the future.

In my opinion, out of all the generic sexy guy and sexy girl characters, Evelynn is the only champion that doesn't have an issue on being a sexy girl character. Sure, she's a demon so being a sexy girl isn't fitting for that theme, but if you read her lore, you'll know that she's a seductress, using her body as a way of pleasuring her victims before subjecting them into unbearable torment so she really needs that sexy girl body.

I’m gonna have to admit. I started League on Wild Rift, so I didn’t know how Thresh originally looked like. BUT HE ORIGINALLY LOOKED LIKE THAT?!! God now I’m extremely fuming, HE LOOKED ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! I dig that fiery chained skull look, 10/10 would become a Thresh main instantly if that was his actual default look on WR. And I don’t know anything about the characters much but from all of those glimpses I’ve seen in the vid, Kindred actually looks super interesting! And Aurelion by far is one of the best visually designed characters in the game for me. It’s really sad, I wish we get more of those monster enemies, because they’re gorgeous and they expand the world, with vast types of characters and creatures. Instead of League’s version of Belle Delphine.

I remember reading through some notes prior to WW's rework, and the team stated they did tropey stuff, but always tried to spin it in a way that makes the character stand out. Hecarim isn't just a centaur or an undead knight, he's both; Gnar is a caveman, but he's also a furry and fuzzy little gnome-like creature that hulks out; Shen is a ninja, but he's designed as a tank, and brings some iconic ninja moves into an unexpected role to fill (he can dash, teleport, and strike hard with a blade, but these are played as tank moves). I like Kayn, he's my favourite champion, because he actually answered two of my requests for a champion at the time: expanding the darkin lore (dk, always felt drawn to Aatrox, regardless of viability), and another ninja of the shadow order (was thinking more something unique like a mage trickster using shadows to cloak themselves, but not complaining). His kit, while kinda bs on some points, was actually compelling to me. Transforming tells a story, his mastery of shadow techniques allow him his free-moving W, more speed through walls and the full form of his version of Zed's death mark; Rhaast, meanwhile unleashes his blade, showing his Q's true power, a more ruthless W, and the ult mixed in with blood magic for a similar but new technique. I also like that they went for a different path than the original, where the wielder was to be righteous. I really like that Kayn's a well-intentioned extremist at best, and a mentally-scarred psychopath at worst. And I love how his playstyle reflects both Kayn's and Rhaast's personality. Kayn is precise and cold-blooded, so his executes are fast as lightning, but he's not fond of battle. Meanwhile, Rhaast wants to keep the party going forever, so his approach is more blunt, his hits are ruthless and slower, and he heals himself to stay in the fight as long as possible. I feel they shouid've just made him a dressed up more Ionian, maybe a loose shirt, under which he can hide his deformed arm. Nothing wrong with the darkin form, being monstrously crusty and all, and his shadow assassin form could've been Kayn fully clad in darkness (a bit like evelynn's stealth, but with blue highlights to make him stand out). Sorry for the rant on Scythe boi, but I like the champion for every aspect except his sexy boy design, so I felt like sharing.

I really like the way they made his new skin, they swapped the blue and red- tho I'm not entirely sure, it'd be very interesting if they made rhaast the lightbringer and kayn the nightbringer, the reason i think of this is because of the silhouettes of both forms despite swapping colors- the blue dawnbringer form having horns fits the standard "red rhaast" silhouette, the red form for nightbringer on the other hand has long hair which is a characteristic of default blue kayn... I could be wrong here but it'd be so cool if they made it this way Also with kayn's undressed nature I think a semi-fit "chinese esque" clothes with a tear on the arm where rhaast resides is fitting since japanese clothes doesn't really fit him with him wielding a scythe, maybe a some armor to finish it off (?) I'm envisioning a look similar to a general from the "romance of the 3 kingdoms"... I'm so not used to imagining kayn with clothes on my head

They can design a monster champion and give them a simple kit like Sett's or they can keep doing their current route and make each one hard/weird to use. they can have more freedom in the visual design aspect and just go crazy with it. like in Killer Instinct how Aganos is an amazing character design and playstyle wise.

The best thing the cinematic did for Unbound Thresh (aside from canonically implying it's just a facade to appeal to his victims) is that it's that it gives a better explaination to what it means for him to be "Unbound". He isn't unbound from his monster form, or unbound from his inhumanity, but rather he is unbound from the shadow isles and it's short reach. Thresh is now free to go wherever and do whatever, and no one will know who he is unless they are sentinels. And the possibility of Thresh joining the Black Rose is just... mwah chef's kiss.

12:34 Exactly my first thought when i read that BS. Yes, blame the champions for not being appealing when their kit is designed for a niche group or is just a clumsy mess from 5y+ ago that wasn't ever addressed properly. Then riot goes and say "But uhhh... X champion isn't a creature, it's a humanoid character, that's why it's played more" yet, surprise surprise, Kha'Zix (the straight up grasshopper/mantis yet they'll likely deny saying he's a humanoid because he's biped) is as popular as Lee Sin, and he is one of the few exceptions of monsters that has a non-niche kit. How silly i am to think Skarner isn't played because he's a scorpion and not because his kit is straight forward and predictable, with an R that doesn't synergyze with the other skills and has a passive that is a full minigame that can make or break him in the match.

I'm straight as fuck yet I find base skin thresh more attractive than Unbound Thresh. Why? He's DIFFERENT. I had a small thing when I started league . You could kinda tell by looking at a champ's physique how tanky they are. It made it easier to pick up the game, and 9 out of 10 times, it fits . The only exceptions are Amumu, Mini Gnar and Shen. For this reason, on day one of looking at Thresh I could already tell "He is tanky and will make me suffer in some way". Turns out I exaggerated on the second one, he just CC's you into oblivion. Look at Unbound Thresh for a second by this logic. He looks like a fighter or a bruiser. What the fuck riot?

Personally I've always loved the "monster" champs. Even when I first started on league ww, cho, Rengar, Velkoz, Asol, all of them caught my attention just cause they were a bit different then the other champs. While I've played lux, Leona, and kayn they never keep me coming back after I play them. But there's always something about champs like Malph, Mundo, Nasus, Ornn that always keep me engaged and wanting more. I think it doesn't help the anime members of the cast that I joined right after sett got released and so every single champ I've ever seen come out has just been along the same style. I'm really looking forward to vex as we'll be getting another yortle after 5 years. Hope maybe we'll get more of that Golden Age again one day. Love the vid Nicky, was well worth the wait

I feel like if you were to go with the idea of "Thresh but at the height of his power when he was alive", i would probably have gone even further by showing that even before he died it was hard to tell if he could be called "alive". Sort of like a mix of Viktor and Xerath in the sense that he's covered by plating and mechanisms that exists partly to optimize his ability to use his powers, and partly just to hold him together. The head spikes are still there but visibly jointed and moving, the chains still lead into ornamental screaming maws, but now they visibly enter him into him and lead into a winch of some kind in his ribs. You take one look at him and wonder not if he can be classifiable as human, but if he could EVER have been so because every bit of him is custom-made to cause as much agony and dread as possible without making it difficult to do his job, and then look at his lore and realize this wasn't an emergency like Urgot or Sion, a sick experiment like Mundo, or for the sake of progress like Viktor. He did this because he could. The only necessity to doing this to himself WAS to be better at killing. The cruelty IS his reason.

They did the same thing to Vel'Koz. When he released, he was a perfectly balanced champion. He didn't do well against assassins but had a good pairing against other mages and did well at farming lane safely (His one advantage against dive assassins.) He had weaknesses, he had strengths, and for the most part was relatively easy to pick up and play (outside of maybe his Q.) Then came the nerf bat to his AP scaling on his W, mana regen, and they made him over-rely on his passive/ult. That effectively killed the champion outright and made him unplayable. Even after they fixed some of his scaling problems, he is still hardly touched because of the bad PR that he had over the years from that nerf. Had Riot just done the old "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" then characters like Vel'Koz and A-Sol would have been staples for mid-lane mages.
