Honestly disappointed the in game skins aren't exactly like the ones in the concert. I guess the "on stage" ones are not as flashy, but after watching that performance you kinda become attached to the little details the in game models don't have even if there are other nice additions.
Give me Yorick's hat and Olaf's extra beard braids, Rito.

>>161808I can't say much on the skins but god I loved the live pentakill event in all it's jankiness. Mordekaiser has never looked better.
I feel like now that they've technically raised the system requirements for LoL they might actually (hopefully) update the character models and be able to start adding those cooler skin details in the future. But also Rito just want to make money so maybe they won't bother revisiting old models until they absolutely have to…

nonny! I don't personally think it was
too janky but things like big mouth movements were a little jarring at times for sure.
Also give Morde his ass back riot wtf
>they might actually (hopefully) update the character modelsA Caitlin VGU was teased in a recent TFT trailer that looked about the quality of the WR models so I wonder if they'll put the gorgeous models from that game into PC version? Hoping the new client update will come with some changes as well. I imagine we'll find out more closer to or during pre-season.

>>161808None of these look like metal outfits to me. The gold first of all is weird but also the rest of the colors too, plus the swirly shapes. Doesn't suit the genre.
I'm liking the new skins they released for the Worlds event, the Lillia one is positively demented. I got my pass and I'm excited about the new Kai'sa skin that will finally be fantasy themed and not stupid kpop shit or ugly robot. It's called
Lagoon Dragon and it's teal. Also fuck URF, it's such a lame game mode. I liked Ultimate Spellbook a lot more.
Vex is so cute. She's cringe but she's cute.

I picked up Senna as a support because I want to learn how to poke aggressively while still being able to carry my lane if my ADC sucks. I always end up having lowest damage on team though which shouldn't be happening. I'm wondering if I'd have better numbers if I swapped runes to favor poking instead of utility, but Glacial can be so handy. Ah the curse of the enchanter support main trying to switch to damage dealing roles kek

>>163324Whether they’re OVERloaded or not, the champ kits are definitely experiencing some design creep where they just get crammed with more and more stuff. I don’t know if a game like league could ever be fully balanced at this point. (I play ADC so I’ve accepted my fate that almost any new champion will make my life a misery anyway.)
The new dragons sound cool, it’ll freshen the game up. Hopefully they figure out the best way to add them when they see how they go on the test servers.
Excited for new customisation options too. Not sure what the new items will be like, it seems any items they add for mages get coopted by already strong champions with decent AP ratios anyway.
No. 163570
>>163371>crammed with more and more stuffThis is what I don't get. Why does it matter if new champs have bigger kits? From what I understand, 'overloaded' implies they've added so much to a champ that they're unfair to play against consistently. I haven't seen this legitimately be the case with new champs, in fact, if its happened at all it'd be with older champs they've done reworks on i.e. Irelia or Akali. Even then, there's more often than not
valid counter play if you're at an average ELO as most of the player base is. Maybe there's something I'm not understanding? just tired of the community complaining as if it`s Riot's fault they're using a video game as anger management or addiction fuel instead of having some -god forbid- fun kek. Its not a new thing that mobas change with the times yet this community acts like it's the end of the world when something unique is added.
No. 163628
>>163625Ayrt. This is something I can agree with!
They definitely created a strange situation for themselves where mobility is concerned.

Here to throw out a quick reminder:
If you haven't been keeping a tab open for Worlds rewards on the esports site, you're missing out on a ton of free emotes and orange essence. I keep it muted and let it stay on while I sleep.
So far I've gotten about 1k worth of OE and 7 new non-worlds emotes, all from duplicates. At first I was annoyed it was so easy to get dupes but it all adds up quickly so I can start chipping away at my skin shard collection.

>>163570Ayrt I wasn’t trying to say it’s good or bad necessarily just pointing out that champs nowadays often have more in their kit!

>new drakesThey'll probably not be that big a deal after everyone gets used to pre-season and appropriate changes are patched in where necessary. Similar to how everyone was complaining about Akshan's revive before he came out and it ended up not being that bad, then the champ got nerfs anyway kek. What did you think of Akshan?
>all chatI don't give a shite because I always have it off lol. Like, there's an option to turn it on and off already, so wtf does forcibly getting rid of it do anyway? Imo a step they need to take is actually punishing

Anyone know any decent Wild Rift content creators? I don't care what their ELO is or how popular they are, just so long as they're chill. The big ones are very frustrating to watch and their educational content is severely lacking.
What does everyone think of the Dragonmancer skins btw? Imo half of them are bland. Yasuo, Kai'sa and Yi are the decent ones and I don't play any of them kek. Volibear's is disappointing but the prestige is a bit better. Karma's splash is better than the in game model and Thresh's dragon looks better than him lol.

Have you guys seen what's happened with the Caitlyn visual update? They're removing her headshot auto cancel mechanic, which will basically remove a lot of her combos. A response from someone on the Riot team was essentially that this mechanic was a bug which they accidentally fixed whilst doing the update, and chose to keep it that way as they "didn't want it in the game anyway". This is despite them promising the visual updates won't affect gameplay.

>>168853I'm an ADC main and I don't have a problem with this change, personally. Cait will still be fun to play.
What I do have a problem with is Riot not addressing this apparent fuck up for years, then acting like the community is insane for being upset. This could have been handled with so much more grace, but instead they choose to let the spaghetti code marinate then pull a "whoops it wasn't supposed to be like that anyway losers, cope". I love this game but I really have to wonder what goes on in the heads of the higher ups over there. The whole company comes off as so collectively bratty in a way I've never seen from any other game studio.
No. 168997
>>168862A lot of skins this year have gotten feedback that Riot refuses to listen to. I remember Coven Eve especially being disliked because she looked too much like Coven Morg and the artists having a bitchfit. Then the community had to roast Riot about Prestige Morgana because they slapped white and gold on the base 975 skin and tried to pretend they'd made enough enhancements to justify selling it at the same price as the other prestiges.
Anyways, watched the first three Arcane episodes. Pretty good so far in my opinion, Powder/Jinx clearly already had issues before going totally crazy. Can't wait for
Vander to come back as Warwick with a vengeance, they were not at all subtle about the foreshadowing that he's gonna become
the wolf. No. 169100
>>168997Wow I'm glad I'm not in a minority about that Morg skin. It really is underwhelming for being a Prestige. Riot's team severely needs to get off their high horses.
>first three Arcane episodesI loved the cliffhanger in episode 3, how they foreshadowed what's going to happen in such subtle ways, yet very noticeable for us lore fans. They specifically show
Singed getting hit by the explosion, followed by giving us that amazing sound design on Vander after he consumes the purple liquid… He sounds like an animal unlike the other guy who took the liquid. Paired with all the dog-related comments before all that, I just. god. It's too much! I really can't wait to see where they take this series, and I hope this means we'll get more lore fleshed out in this way in the future.

>>169866>>169867>>169868"You're hot, cupcake". That was such a good scene for so many reasons! I love their dynamic and I'm all for seeing romance blossom with them, but it's a shame their interactions are being dumbed down and fetishized by scrotes who complain about the M/F sex scene even though imo it actually has meaning to that particular character's story (as opposed to it just being put in there solely for fan service). I'm not surprised of course, I just loathe the average league scrote's inability to see past anything that doesn't directly appeal to them. I feel oddly protective of all the characters, like I want their personalities and little quirks to be acknowledged and respected even if there's horniness there kek
I found myself liking Silco a lot, especially seeing his interactions with Jinx. I just really enjoy how he was written. I wouldn't say I'm rooting for him though. Viktor on the other hand… I just can't wait to see what he gets up to after where we left off with him. It's neat seeing him slowly show signs of becoming the Viktor we know in the game.

>>170459>>170570>>170298Aw you guys are so nice. I’m literally only level 11. I enjoy range damage type I think. Tried MF, Kogmaw, Ashe and Jinx. Kogmaw and MF feel most natural if that says something. I find myself getting pushed around a lot. I don’t understand how to lane yet. I fall behind frequently unless someone else is a bigger pussy than me lmao haven’t figured out runes or item picks either. Kinda just buying what is suggested though I’m sure there are nuances.
Any suggestion on youtubers or streamers to watch for fundamentals? Many videos feel more for intermediate players and I’m too retarded to absorb them.
No. 170647
>>170606You want to keep it simple and fun while you're this new, so if Kog'Maw and MF are your faves rn, you should take 'em and get as comfy with their kits and mechanics as possible. After those become second nature, that's when you typically have the mind space to start with improving laning, item builds, runes. I've got many tips to give so if you have more questions, feel free to ask them!
>Any suggestion on youtubers or streamers to watch for fundamentals?I personally recommend Neace in terms of actual coaching content as he does stuff with many players across many skill levels. He can be a bit obnoxious at times, but he's got a take-no-bullshit mentality and really knows his shit. For chill streamer content that has a bit of educational flair, I'd go with PekinWoof and Bizzleberry. Both usually explain their thought processes and call out their own mistakes in very productive ways. For straight memes when you want League content but don't have the brain power to learn, I recommend Tobias Fate because his editors are off the charts hilarious imo. He's kind of trollish sometimes but still generally chill af.
No. 170693
>>170606One thing I wanna add to what was said is to observe and start getting a better sense of when to commit to a kill and when to leave a fight. Also if you've died a couple times in your lane then you really just need to hang tight and be extremely safe so you can give your team a chance to catch up to the advantage you gave the enemy. You'll get better at sensing which fights are winning fights for you and which ones to commit to fully, even if it's a close call. An easy question to answer for yourself is, am I ahead in my lane or not? Compare yours with your lane opponent's:
>your CS (how many creeps you killed)>Your K/D/A>Turret healthIf you're behind, you need to switch your playstyle to be more defensive and maybe politely ask for help from your teammates. If you're ahead, you can bully your enemy and do fancier stuff like zoning them out of farm. Also when you switch to a defensive playstyle after dying a couple times most low rank enemy players get impatient and start doing reckless things to get more kills and you can turn it into an advantage for you. It's nuts how many shitters dive turrets when they shouldn't just because they think they can kill you every time after they got lucky a few times.
No. 170733
>>170683>>170693These are good posts with great advice, but I'd argue that it's still a bit too much for a new player. She mentioned she has trouble absorbing intermediate ideas through videos at the moment, so I think an even slower approach would work a bit better. Anon seems serious about wanting to improve, so I'm gonna let the sperg jump out a bit here.
Imo first step should simply be to play with a focus on your champion's skill set in order to both gain general confidence and understand your own play style. Last hitting creeps should be the only other thing you place focus on in this part of the learning process. All of this is especially fun to do with Miss Fortune because of how her passive and Q work. It's easy to figure out a kind of rhythm with her and get comfy. The only guidance I recommend for this part is looking up the combos your champion is capable of. Learning combos is a good way to hone reflexes and build the confidence I mentioned earlier. Basically, it's important to do things one step at a time in the start or else you may become overwhelmed and fail to find joy in playing after a point. Setting one goal at a time and reminding yourself of it every match is the easiest way to learn when you've got little to no knowledge, that way you can self-motivate even in the face of the intimidating scope of the game. I'd say a week or two per goal is a decent start, but this really depends on how often you play per session, per week. Just don't forget that everyone has their own learning style and grows at their own paces, especially in a hard game like this.

Now that Arcane season 1 is done, what are everyone's thoughts? I personally thought it was 10/10 in all aspects as a long time lore fan. They tied stories together so flawlessly and even made me care about characters I had no interest in before. Viktor and Silco had my favorite scenes in Act 3 by far.
>>170767Proud of you nona! You seem really excited to keep learning, it brings me such nerdy joy. What items did you end up building? I'd love to read more details about your game if you're willing to share! About panic button-pressing; what matters is that you recognize when you're doing it in game so your brain kind of over time tunes itself to being able to think productively in those reactionary moments. Just keep playing to enjoy yourself and eventually the game will slow down enough for you to make being mindful itself into muscle memory. The fruits of your labor will show themselves over time, similar to how when you lose weight you don't really notice until you check the numbers months after you started haha.

I get so emotionally invested in things like this and the ending really messed me up even though I knew there was almost no way it was going be happy. It really took me on an emotional rollercoaster and I'm already excited for the next season.
Now I really wish I had more of a connection to the characters going in. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I don't want to spam up the thread as a non-player, but I'm curious about how much lore is actually in the game?
No. 170913
>>170860>>170901Lucky for you guys, Riot are starting to get into the indie game scene and have just released Ruined King (RPG) and Hextech Mayhem (rhythm platformer) for PC and consoles with more titles of other genres in the works, including the MMORPG as was mentioned earlier. Both are really fun games if you're into those genres, but obviously you want the RPG for more story type stuff. It's the prologue to a bigger story within the universe so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it as the first thing you start with which brings me to:
>how much lore is actually in the game?Lore is all readable on each character's page on the official site or the League wiki - there's also an interactive map with information on each region and fan videos on youtube that cover it exclusively (vid rel)! I recommend looking up a list of Champions and reading about who you think looks neat cause every character has base lore, then lore within alternate universes based on skins you can get in game. It sounds confusing, and it kind of is at first cause there are so many things to discover, but it's really worth it if you love fantasy worlds. I could give recommendations of specific characters to look into based on what tropes you like if you want an easy way to get started! The lore/champions are why I play and enjoy this game despite being a pussy ass bitch in PVP environments myself. It's wonderful to see more people curious about these things too. Arcane has truly been a blessing to this community.

>>170913Thank you so much, Anon! The video was really interesting and I fell down a rabbit hole of watching more.
Who are your favourites? I wasn't sure who to look at or where to start. So many of them look interesting, but I was initially drawn to Gwen and Lillia because I love the whole living doll trope (which seems kind of funny and ironic to say here on lolcow of all places) and deer are my favourite animal. I hope I didn't make a beeline for the most universally hated champions or something kek. There are still so many I need to look into. I guess I really like creepycute/spooky things, hippie kinda stuff, and strong feminine characters. I usually gravitate towards "good" characters, and tend to like ones who are goofy and kind, and/or troubled characters who have the potential to grow and be redeemed through the magic of friendship. I feel a little embarrassed telling all of that, but I really appreciated your reply and I'm excited about all there is to discover.

>>171179You sound very lovely, nona. I'm always happy to help shed positive light on the lore! You're reading on the univer.leagueoflegends site, right? Just making sure you're getting all the delicious morsels of story you can.
My favorites are basically completely opposite of yours lol! I enjoy the villain types with strong wills and larger than life passion for whatever is motivating them. Jhin, Viego, and Thresh come to mind first. Gwen and Lillia are both great characters so please don't worry about who might be most loved or hated! The roster is large and much of the community is jaded as it is, like, they take characters/lore for granted whether they're objectively good or not. 75% of the playerbase doesn't have any right to say shit about the lore imho kek. Anyway, let me get to the recommendations.
>creepycute/spooky thingsAmumu, Ivern (can also fit hippie vibes), Kog'Maw, and Kindred (best written char in the game next to Jhin imho).
>hippie kinda stuffMaokai (can also fit creepy/cute/spooky), Lulu, Neeko, Nidalee
>strong feminine charactersSenna (can fit spooky), Akali, Illaoi, Karma (might fit hippie vibes), Miss Fortune, Samira… to be quite honest, most of the women in this game can fit here so I just gave you recs that came to mind first!
I hope this helps you get started and if you have any more questions or want to just talk more please let me know.

I’m bored, I miss when champion designs used to mean something. She’s supposed to be from zaun but nothing about her feels that way to me… I would love less champion releases so they can all be really well thought-out and creative. I’m sure she’ll be fun to play though
No. 183460
>>183009I think she looks/sounds great and her kit is a step in the right direction for supports in Lol, particularly with the Berserk mechanic on her ult- it's unique and refreshing!
Now this might be a hot take but I see no issue with revive mechanics if they're balanced properly. Akshan's isn't a problem unless you play on auto-pilot instead of making sure he's focused or avoided properly. Renata's is effective in such a short window and can be fizzled out quickly if you're aware of it (from what I've tested so far anyway). Sure they can be obnoxious to play against, but that hardly makes conditional revives a problem for the game in general. It's just about respecting the kit and learning to play against it just like any other high risk/reward champ that came before them.
I do come from years of playing Dota 2 prior to switching games so maybe my opinion is strange. I'm just used to playing with tons of mechanics that League-only players would find outrageous so I guess Riot's stuff seems weird to complain about when I think about the garbage I had to deal with from Valve kek. In general I think the balancing for these new mechanics has been pretty good for the shorter match lengths they aim for. That being said, I really think it's time for them to stop releasing new champs and start modernizing older champ kits/lore. Sad that it's only happening with one player-voted character a year or whatever they plan to do for these reworks.

>>288626I'm alive! I play casually and I'm primarily adc/support/jungle. I play Miss Fortune, my FAVORITE supports are Nautilus and Blitzcrank, and Vi.
Annie is a great midlaner to learn right now, she's really strong and has a good kit for learning the basics of last-hitting/wave management! Although I believe she has some nerfs incoming so watch out for that.
I can't really speak for Gwen, but top has its own unique challenges as an "island" where nobody really interacts with you until the teamfighting stage. Mid is the action lane; people come in and out of it, and you sometimes have to make a call on when to leave lane to go assist someone else.
Jungle feels hard because you have a lot more map to manage, and you have to be good at playmaking/strategy for both ganking enemies and two big objectives (herald/baron and dragon). It's a good idea to leave it for last, so you can get a sense of what a good or bad jungler is doing through experiencing other players.
I'm actually a mastery 6 Vi myself, and she's the first jungler I ever picked up. Her kit is very simple and easy to combo with. She's also getting nerfed soon, sadly. I also play a bit of Volibear, who is similar to Vi, but I'd like to learn Kindred.

>>288626I’m here! I play competitively at an above average skill level (I’m currently plat 2, peaked d4. Wouldn’t say I’m that good or anything but some people consider it a good rank. I play 1 to 3 ranked games a day typically.) I play ADC, and main Samira. She ends up getting banned an awfully lot, so if she is banned I’ll play either Kai’sa, Draven, or Cait. I honestly hate every skin Samira has because of the sound effects, especially with her R, but if I had to pick my fave of hers would be high noon. My fave skin line in general is probably coven! As for advice with flaming, even though you said you plan on keeping chat on, if you ever get into ranked I would recommend just full muting everyone the second someone starts talking shit. Even if they’re an enemy. Glad to know there’s still new players interested in league! If you don’t mind sharing, what server do you play on? I’m on NA.

>>288626I started playing league almost a year ago. I started playing it because of Arcane kek.
The first champion I bought and started learning playing was Rell. I still really enjoy her even if she plays kinda clunky. I mostly play her when I duo with my friend in bot tho because if you play her with a random ADC they sometimes just let you die if you go all in.
I also used to play Teemo a lot in top, he's so cute and a very beginner friendly champ! I had a pretty high win rate on him but lately I haven't been enjoying playing him in top much because if mid or jungler doesn't choose to play a tank my team pretty much always loses kek. Also I feel like when playing top like you never interact with any of the other lanes until the end of the game.
I also enjoy playing mid where I mainly play Lux or Neeko. For ADC I can only play Miss Fortune kek, I suck to much in any of the other champs. But sometimes I play Seraphine as an APC champ.
My favorite skin is Beemo, it's just so cute!
Gwen is super cute and when I just started playing I bought her because of her pretty design. I was so bad at her tho! I was so new at the game and didn't understand she was a scaling champ and I was just shit at playing her kek.
I'm a casual player and am currently silver 2. When I play ranked I mostly play Sona support since she's just such an easy champ and scales really hard. So if I just have atleast 1 good teammate I can just stay with them late game and keep healing them. When people flame me I just mute them. I never really flamed to much when other people throw, atleast not like in a super rude or agressive way. I want to try and get into Gold so I think for now I will just try and stick to one role even though it can become kind of boring.
I know Rell is getting a rework which is kinda scary to me since she's the first champ I bought and loved playing! I hope they won't change her to much, if you have a good agressive ADC like Tristana or Samira you can dominate lane so easy. And she is good in teamfights too with her ult!

When I support I play a lot of different champions, including Morgana, Veigar, and Soraka. When jungling I play Mordekaiser, Sejuani, Shyvana, and Gwen. I know they say limit your champ pool to climb but I find onetricking to be too boring for me.
My favourite skinline is probably Battle Boss/Arcade or Space Groove. Star Nemesis is cool too, I love Morgana's skin.

Thank you everyone for the flame tips!! I'll use them well and tilt everyone, any suspensions I get will be dedicated to yall.
In other personal League news, I got super obsessed with Pentakill and already blazed through their first two albums at least 4 times. I've been saving the 3rd one for the 2nd half of this week. It's sooooo good, I hope they drop another album soon. Also I think it's hilarious that everyone else in the band is consistently ugly/pretty as they are in the rest of their skins, but Viego's is so ugly in his Pentakill skin kek, poor bro. His hands are a travesty. I'm legitimately so into Pentakill right now it's actually overcoming my procrastination for studying.

Been slowly getting a feel for TFT by watching my friend's livestream. So far I know LeBlanc and MF are super goated, items can combine, and we can unlock additional bonuses by putting together themed characters. It's a really chill gamemode where I don't have to worry about getting pingspammed or flamed, so that's nice too. I don't even have the pressure to look up guides for it.
So far my favorite themes are Prankster because the perks are fun, and whichever ones have Sivir because she's so hot. My least favorite theme is Star Guardians because half of them have pink hair which makes it so hard to see at a glance who's who.
I'm planning on doing TFT instead of SR for probably the next month I've warmed up to the summoner avatar blobs and am going to score more of them. They're kinda cute.

if you like prankster, i recommend trying the big garen trait. you can field 3 (or 5) mecha prime units, and it'll give you an item that you can put on any mecha prime. by doing so, you'll sacrifice the 2 nearest mecha primes to whichever mech you selected, giving the big one bonus HP. and he gets ALOT…it's very cool, big garen is the best tank in the game right now. i pretty much play it in every comp lol

Kaisa is so cute but I hate the "omg am I a monsterrrrr" identity crisis they gave her while she looks completely like a Victoria's Secret angel. If they were going to make her so pretty with a sentient combat suit that shows all the cleavage then they should've given her Dr.Mundo's lore or something. Shit they could swap the two's personalities and we wouldn't feel like anything was wrong:
Kaisa the deranged surgeon going "THE DOCTOR IS UH…. IN!" and shooting everyone's limbs off with plasma because cauterizing requires no bandages!11!!

>>302318Kaisa is based on old Kassadin lore where Malzahar originally kidnapped his daughter and sacrificed her to the Void. The whole monster thing is meant to directly parallel how Kassadin is willingly losing more and more of his humanity in a desperate attempt to kill Malzahar and stop the Void as revenge for Malzahar having destroyed his whole hometown.
The execution kind of sucks though because as you said, Kaisa in practice is just a hot lady with perfect makeup and a skintight suit. Apparently they added the cleavage because she didn't read as human enough without it, but I think that's a dumb excuse. Samus looks human and she's fully covered up.
Also League's lore moves at a goddamn glacial pace and it's the most frustrating thing ever. We've been promised an emotional Kaisa and Kassadin reunion for years now (I'm guessing neither will recognize the other and they will fight before making up) and Riot still hasn't delivered.

Does anyone else hate the new pings? I was away from the game for like a year and since I use the smart ping wheel most of the time, it's literally been the hardest thing for me to adjust to. It always takes me like 10 minutes to make sure I actually use the ping I want, or I ping fast and use the wrong one. Makes me feel retarded because they're technically still in the same position they were in before. I find them so redundant too, stuff like "all in", "push", "hold" is easily communicated with omw and assist if your team can use context clues. The "enemy has vision" ping is nice but it's not really new anymore.

From the champion insights;
“It’s kind of subtle, but with Briar’s shape, I wanted to give her thicker legs and bottom-half with a more petite upper body,” Kindlejack adds. “The idea here is that if she’s actually made from blood magic or living blood, she should be a little bit more bottom-heavy like an I.V. bag or the shape of a droplet of blood.”

>>318599>It’s kind of subtle, but with Briar’s shape, I wanted to give her thicker legs and bottom-half with a more petite upper body>kind of subtleThis is too funny, they are so shameless. I can't believe that they made her attack with her feet too.
>she should be a little bit more bottom-heavy like an I.V. bag or the shape of a droplet of bloodAren't IV bags square tho? And her silloute doesn't look like a droplet of blood either because she got that huge ass weapon at her head.
The thing is, I have a pear shaped body and I wouldn't mind if we would get some female champs also with that body type. But literally her splash art shows that her waist is two times tinier then just one of her thighs. It's too much, especially with the feet and the fact that her face is so round makes her not look like an adult.

>>318696Samefag, but I hate how they are doing the same thing with Briar like they did with Bel'Veth. Make her splash art and "normal form" a pretty girl and her "true form" actually scary. They are such cop outs, they don't want to commit on making an actual monster because they will make more money with designing the same soulless pretty girl champs.
No. 318704
>>318696Yeah, I’m all for more diverse body shapes but I just think it’s a) convenient that this body shape is sort of a “trend” right now for beauty standards and b) that of all characters this person, created as an experiment to be a murderous creature, was given an appealing look.
All the fanart that’s already out speaks volumes about how well the pandering worked and it frustrates me how people gobble up “pretty girl but she’s quirky!” and call it a good design.

>>330141Riot hates that Rakan is played more than Xayah and has thrown him into the no skins jail (unless Xayah gets one). They gave Xayah a skin without him and essentially said they want to uncouple their skins but still Rakan won't get a skin unless Xayah does too unless it's a pro play skin.
>>330382Boring, honestly. I think this is unironically Ezreal's worst skin apart from the low effort chroma ones, it's definitely in the bottom tier with Psy Ops. I wish we got Crystal Rose Ezreal from Wild Rift instead. Neither K'sante nor Yone belong here and Aphelios is cute but literally can't speak much less sing, why is he in a boy band?

No. 330404
>>330395Remove Yone and K'sante for sure, and as much as it hurts probably Aphelios too just for not fitting the theme of a boyband. Add Rakan like the other anon suggested and maybe Pyke if they had a "you must add a dark-skinned man" quota. Maybe Yi instead if they styled him like in Debonair.
As for style, it needs to be a lot sluttier and color-cohesive. KDA for example was all in purple in the first run and all in silvery-blue in the second. They needed to pick a main color and stick everyone in it.
Also for the love of god return Ezreal's hair to blonde. Green looks terrible on him. His best skins keep his hair blonde or white.
No. 330408
>>330395I'd remove Sett, K'sante and Aphelios (cuz he's mute), make Yone a singer, but I wouldn't add Rakan because he has a canon girlfriend. I think the only viable champions to replace them with are:
Akshan, Ekko, Jayce, Jhin, Malzahar, Talon, Varus, Vi, Viego, Vladimir, Xerath (we know he's a cute anime boy now).
No. 330411
>>330408Ekko and Viego are nos, they're already in True Damage and Dissonance of Pentakill. Jhin and Varus could have fit though. A fakeout in the video where it looks like they're gonna remove Jhin's mask but then they don't show his face would have been cool.

>Would never happen though because of league’s main player baseI'm sorry to tell you all that they dress like any kpop male idol nowadays and they even sound better than them. The reason KDA was good is because the kpop inspirations for them were good. Male idols put out music so bad it should be illegal to call it music now. I could do better with banging pots together. Funny, the group Ez's VA is in, EXO is one of the only male groups that are known to have good music. Either way I think this release was a safe choice, it was catchy and gets the attention of early 20s women whom I assume are the target audience.

The song is catchy, Kayn his outfit is ugly but overall I'm pleased. I also think it's weird how people over glorify KDA, like they are both just generic Kpop inspired groups and there songs are generic pop.

KDA isn’t god’s gift but the songs are actually catchy for me, and the vocals stand out and feel like they fit their characters.
I don’t even know what aphelios and yone did in the song? And I’m going to keep harping on the lack of choreo, the skins don’t have a choreo dance either. What kinda modern boyband doesn’t have some choreography?
No. 330651
>>330382They look terrible in this photo, but I think they look good in game. Also you can easily see that they have black and gold as their thematic colors. I think you guys are super over critical over their designs, but then again lolcow is nitpick hell.
My biggest complain design wise is that K'sante sticks out like a sore thumb, Sett's hat is ugly, and Yone and Aphelios are completely unnecessary. Only Ezreal and Kayn feel like they belong.
Speaking of the song, I thought the song was fine? It's definitely not as good as KDA was, and it left me a bit confused as to exactly what kinda boy group image they're going for? The song was a mix of American solo hiphop/rnb singers mixed with generic kpop, but I've never really seen anything like that irl. I feel like the song is good, but it lacks cohesion with what they're supposed to be. Honestly though Sett and K'sante are soooo misplaced for a boyband in general though.

im so fucking tired nonnies. i feel like i dont really get to choose which games i lose and which ones i win. i've been oscillating between loss and win streaks for a few weeks now. i win 4 matches and then lose 4 more, its kinda funny at this point. i try my hardest to win lane, ward, get objectives etc but i always get that one guy that goes 1/15 @ min 20, but at least i get the comfort of knowing that somehow the next few matches will be an ez stomp for some reason, but then i go back to playing against ppl 2 ranks higher
No. 330718
>>330651>Sett is soooo misplaced for a boyband in general thoughNot the biggest lorefag, just liked Sett when he was released, but I feel like they changed his entire shtick to make his ship with Aphelios happen anyway. He was supposed to be a muscle wall that only has a soft spot for his mom but they changed it a bit in skins/parallel worlds to make him less aggressive and more considerate/chill? So no wonder they didn't feel like they needed to stick to his og personality and just stretched him to fit into a boyband. I mean, would og Sett immediately step back from teasing idolverse justin bieber and compliment him when he sensed that he's slightly sad about it? Not too sure on others' personalities, at least they kept some bite in Kayn with him calling Ez's old music crap even after Sett tries to smooth it out.
Those discord chats are part of why I said they must be targeting 20 year olds. They have time, money and no responsibilities, those are who they want to get addicted to their game and also the ones that quickly get pulled in by seeing social media aus of characters. They made every member fit into one role to make it easier to consume for people who don't know their lol personalities: Sett is the himbo, K'Sante is the dad, Yone is the mom, Ez is the twink, Aphelios is the emo, Kayn is the edgy rebel(?). So easy to get into whether you're from kpop or anime.

>>330703A pretty simple strategy to reduce deaths is to watch your latest replay and look at every death.
Ask yourself for each one of your deaths: "Why did I die here?" and "What was I trying to archieve here?" Some of those deaths will be mechanical misplays by you or your teammates, no need to overthink those. But most deaths are preceeded by a bad decision that puts you in a bad situation. With 15 deaths before 20 minutes, there's likely a pattern that your repeating, that will hopefully become obvious if you analyze your replays.

Whenever someone tries to criticize me for playing Lux, it's always someone playing literally the easiest champ ever. I just had a game where me and my adc were winning botlane, and the enemy adc was talking shit about their jg in chat so I joking said "but you suck". They proceeded to say something like "you're playing lux, that says enough"….IT WAS A TRISTANA!!

>>393991Samefag I can’t believe this prettygirl moeslop is what they wanted to use for this when we already have this icon for retarded girls who annoy everyone around them with their off putting thoughts and socially inappropriate behaviour. I’m predicting the lines will be a train wreck because they can’t be realistic about the fact that when you’re an autist, most people don’t have the patience to deal with you, they have to push the love and acceptance angle that is simply too idealistic. “We don’t have a word for her, so she’s just aurora” genuinely picrel’s old lore where she got kicked out of Bandle over a miscommunication better represents a fantasy medieval society’s reaction to a weird retard girl. Faerie changelings are widely considered nowadays to be a mystical explanation for autist kids and those were seen as monsters and a tragedy. Runeterra is a world where people die in wars and from monsters and shit, you can’t be wholesome uwu about this.
I know this very rant outs me as an autist but it’s so fucking cringe.

>>393817Wow they really do continue on the trend where now instead of giving female characters only hourglass shaped bodies. They know are pearshaped, but ofcourse still with a super flat stomache. Her t rex arms are very funny. Her design also looks very gacha, with just so many weird elements. The overspilling thighs, the sexy shorts where she shows she is not wearing any underwear. Bare shoulders for the armpit fags. Its Briar all over again.
Also I feel they only gave her glasses to be like "wow guyz look how nerdy and autistic she is". Even though she just looks like a bunny pear shaped ahri. Her design just screams sexy confident sexual character.
>>393991>>393992You are so right about the part where they only want to show the "cute part of autistic girls". They dont want to show the fact that we get way to over excited about some things that people just think we are annoying. They wont have her speak her mind plainly where it comes off as rude. They will just have her walk on her toes and have let her have a basic special interest where she very shortly gushes about. Also again i really hate how moids sexualise autistic girls already.

My favorite thing to do when I see that someone on the enemy team is doing really bad or an enemy all chats to tell us to report is to start instigating. I just say shit like "is ur jg inting?" or "wow soraka didn't try to heal you at all" or "wait so your mid has been flaming you guys? but he sucks!". 90% of the time they'll start arguing in all chat and it's literally the easiest way to get the enemy team to tilt plus it's free entertainment. I've won so many games that started off a complete loss just because the other team starts flaming each other.

Once you've played enough games you can properly understand when to focus objectives and when to play aggressively and put pressure on the enemy with heavy ganks and invades. Obviously the same can be said for all lanes but jungle especially, all you can do is practice and you will pick up on what to do quite quickly. You can also learn with an easy champ like Warwick then once you understand what the role entails and how to play it best you can master a champ you prefer.

Fun fact about Lest (picrel). She's voiced by a troon in the original dub, but in the latin american version, her voice actor is a man, not even trans. I just found that incredibly funny, like why not just give her a female voice actress, since she's a literal animated character and not a real life trans actor, so it's not like they have to match the voice to their appearance, if that makes sense? Are the dubbing directors terfs or something? if so that's incredibly based KEKKKK

Season 2 had some real pacing issue, everything went really fast. Especially Act 2 went to fast for me. However I actually really like the last 3 episodes. I do play the game, and i am really not worried about lore issues. Since lore really does not impact the game anyway. So it does not matter what is canon or not.

I believe it's implied that the because the enforcers weren't going after the kids since they didnt steal a highly valuable items. Silco never went after Vander and actually ended up working with eachother. I do agree that it was a bit over the top, like I can understand Powder not growing up as traumatized because she didn't accidentally kill her friends and father. But the fact that Piltover and Zaun were that peacefull, even with the help off Silco, Vander and the inventions they made. It seems just to good.

I'm fucking done and we truly live in a society
>Jinx litterally implies to Vi shes going to off herself and is visibly mentally disturbed. Instead of going after her, 5 seconds later Vi fucks with Cat in the same cell her sister was going through mental torment, while an up beat pop song plays in the background. The sisterhood, one of the core themes of S1, pushed to the side for the sake of author's favourite yuri ship
>The political status quo remains, they don't show us anything realistic regarding the Zaun situation, no real conclusion. The poor stay poor, the rich get richer, another main theme of class struggle from S1 gets ignored. Vi fucks her way from the proletariat to the bourgeoisie I guess
>mute child plot device uhhhh
>too much montages with songs, which became distracting and disturbed the flow of the show, it wasn't as present in S1 as it is in this season
>fucking time loop and time travel shit which basically always ruins every story because it makes the stakes low and takes away agency from the characters
>Ekko "saves the day" in the last second instead of Jinx? The story was way more focused on her (and Vi) than it ever was on Ekko, so why does he get to save the day when she just appears, gets controlled by magic, and "dies" in a pointless fight with zombie Vander? (who also dies, YET again). Her getting out of jail didn't change anything, the outcome of the story would've been the same without her. So why was the show focused on her from the start? Just to not let her shine at the very end? And giving that moment to a secondary character like Ekko? That's lame. Ekko was never that important to the story, giving him a moment like this felt like it was completely out of nowhere. Jinx was shown to be interested in the hex stones from the beginning, and shortly before the finale, where they were in jail Vi told Jinx to use her powers to rewrite her story, so where was this rewriting? She didn't change shit. She never created anything but weapons. In order to rewrite her story, she should've used her scientific genius and abilities with hextech in order to create something else. But hey, let's give the secondary character like Ekko the ability to manipulate time and let him save the day I guess…
>Ambessa's motivation is all over the place
>Silco just forgives Vander in AU just like that????? So we can have another gay ship I guess???? This is so out of character and it disrespects Silco
Fuck the entire thing just felt like they were checking the boxes instead of actually working with the characters. The visuals were amazing but what made S1 so good was that besides amazing visual presentation it was grounded and focused on characters, political drama and bonds between siblings and parents.

If she got killed off by maddie it would've been the proper end of her arc with her actions biting her in the ass.
Same with Viktor and Jayce poofing out of existence, the writers brushing off Viktor forcing everyone into his eugenics hextech cult because he's the fandoms smol bean.

as far as shipping though, that's gonna happen in any canon with lots of characters lik LOL
No. 436670
thank you jayvik for being a ship with real emotional depth without needing to show any actual romance, truly the best couple in arcane
but also im very into the trope of destined lovers and them being the only ones that can destroy/save one another, you didn't need a 3 minute sex scene to feel their connection kek
>>435632 i dont mind visual changes ingame but i also hateplay league so with all the fanservice aimed at men, i dont mind them twikifying a male character or few
No. 436751
>>436738it's a show made by moids based off a game for moids with them primarily being the target audience. i think this might be the case of writers accidentaly making a superior m/m ship by not developing their female characters enough in comparison. jinx/ekko relationship was cute but pretty surface level imo, cait and vi are i guess developed enough but with the goth mommy trend thats been going on lately i cant not see it as pandering. i think calling it an established relationship might be an overexaggeration in this context, but i found their character dynamic to be the most believable one, and again, its my favorite trope in fiction so im not denying that i might be biased kek
but ofc its my personal opinion and its probably the part of the show that kept me engaged the most until the very end, it kept me wondering how their storylines would conclude and i was pretty happy with their ending

>>436584I thought it was a reach to ship them, I don't even know why it's so popular, the shippers seem more attracted to Viktor and obsessed with turning him into a feminine twink when the guy is a sarcastic autist.
I think there's better yaoi out there.

>>437013One sided jayvik is good. I'm a meljayce fan
or rather just a mel fan in general, considering how Jayce treated her in the finale, but I can see the appeal. My only issue is with the fan base somehow acting as if Mel is not even a contender for Jayce in their eyes for some reason, especially since they at least canonically got together. But just when I was warming up to jayvik, their fans have to act like sperges on twitter talking about muh representation being stolen when there's 0 gay men who actually watch this show. But most people I see like it are tifs who project onto viktor.

>>437079>thinking gay men actually care about lgbt representationNo slight on you anon, but they don't unless it's a 3DPD thing with actual actors. Sometimes they don't even care if its a man because they'll latch onto sexualized women. Even anime is a stretch unless they're watching a bara. The only time gay men have even commented on the show is to talk about Vander
or warwick specifically which we all know why
No. 437135
>>437042The way Jayvik fans disregard Mel has been insane, they cant even pull the cope that she's undeveloped when her relationship with Jayce in S1 DID have an interesting dynamic. And in the aftermath of S2 you could have all sorts of angst that these people can supposedly only find in fag ships.
Then people saying they ship meljayvik, or Jayce "cant handle all of that" just come off as insidious because you know they don't actually give a fuck about Mel. She's always sidelined into being their cheerleader, and we've seen that Jayce very much can handle all of that with the sextech scene from S1.
I already hate the way that S2 benched both of them, but to then see the majority of the audience (or maybe just loud tards on twitter and tumblr) not give a fuck because muh sausagefest just blows. Despite Mel (and Ekko) hard carrying Act 3 wrt getting shit done. Mel and Jayce weren't even a hardcore ship of mine (and they still aren't), but holy shit S2 is just so ass it's making S1 look like even more of a masterpiece than I thought it was.
No. 437195
>>437151That is just so gross and misogynistic to say from the animator. Is the animator a gay male? Like legit that's some disgusting shit. I thought in S01 Jayce and Mel's relationship was very cute and interesting and I don't understand why they fucked it up so much in s02. I think an epilogue would save a lot, have Mel mourning or something, or at least they could have had them exchange some last words. I feel like there just wasn't enough time for any meaningful character moments overall, instead of that we had marvel sky beam shit.
I also don't hate the 'soulmates' thing with Jayce and Viktor but I feel like with how well S01 was written, they could have pulled off both sides of Jayce's relationships if they just have us a bit more time. Now Mel was absolutely sidelined next to Viktor in what she meant to Jayce.
I don't know, for how important the female characters were in S01, second season feels strange in how all the important things were actually achieved only by males (Ekko, Viktor and Jayce saving/almost destroying the universe).

>>437136They just want to make Viktor into the fuck doll of another bigger male.
Viktor should be dominated by Ambessa, she already had a twink scrote escort that kind of looked like Viktor anyway.
No. 437993
>>437694This would be too unfathomably based for the world we live in, majority of the audience would have died from their brains melting.
>>437195The soulmate shit with Jayce and Viktor reads like fanfiction of the highest order. Season 2 is so terrified of having actual character development that isn't hamfisted. Season 1 pretty blatantly foreshadows some sort of building jealousy/animosity between Viktor and Jayce, because Viktor is shunted to the side while Jayce soaks up the limelight. If I were a writer tasked with adapting the source material while shifting some stuff around, my first pick wouldn't be "Instead of a morally grey cyborg, Viktor becomes a time/space warping god who was also the mage that gave Jayce his crystal lol (even though it was obviously Ryze) and the Machine Herald is an alien mutation/parasite/Hexcore controlled husk of Viktor that can only be defeated by Jayce reminding Viktor that his terminal crippling illness (likely caused by Zauns impoverished conditions) is what made him unique". It would be "Viktor and Jayce have a disagreement during the rising tensions following the council bombing, which finally boils over into their division and Viktor returning to Zaun. Viktor feels betrayed by Jayce, just like he felt betrayed by Singed as a kid. Set up a third betrayal after he tries helping the people of Zaun, maybe something to do with Jinx, which finally radicalizes Viktor into hating his humanity since he feels like he's being played for having empathy/caring for others."
I remember seeing a fantheory before Season 2 came out, where OP speculated that the Hexcore could be used to make Blitzcrank, which I think would have been a really smart way to explain its 'maliciousness' without it just being evil for the lulz. The Hexcore as a new life form would have been lashing out like a toddler does because it's confused/doesn't understand it's own strength. It's the same issue with Vi; They could have easily had her struggle with a radically changing world view, becoming disillusioned with Zaun and agreeing with Piltover, eventually joining the Enforcers because she believes that it's the only real way of dealing with the abuses of power down there.
But no, instead we get endless slop, nothing landed. Vi sucked, Viktor sucked, Vanderwick sucked, Caitlyn sucked, Ambessa could have been way cooler, Sevika gets sidelined, Jayce gets benched till the Act 3 fanfic, Heimerdinger is a welcome reprieve from OHHHHTHEMISERY and then he fucking explodes, Jinx gets her mute crutch, Ekko gets benched until his hard carry in Act 3, Mel gets benched and her plot makes no sense if you don't know League lore, and theres a bunch of time wasted with literal whos when we're already collapsing under the weight of the bullshit in this season. Singed was one of the best parts and he had the least amount of screentime, and even then we fastforwarded all the shit with Orianna because who cares I guess. I don't understand how Season 1 managed to have Silco, a total scumbag that you still want to see more of because his motivations are compelling even if you don't agree with them, and then this is what we get in the next season.
Even if the writers felt rushed, and Covid happened, I don't understand why they went so off the rails and tried to cram so much shit in, instead of doing a somewhat unoriginal but well executed story. Especially if they felt rushed, since it would make more sense than whatever the fuck we got.
No. 438067
>>437993Mels story was one of the worse, like a deus ex machina. Season 1 didnt hint to anything what happened to her at season 2. And it was all just rushed so quickly, they either should have let her die or let her be the main politician instead of the weird Caitlyn take over.
>>437195Jayce and Viktor both have saved eachother lifes and i do understand from the first season they have a deeper bond because of that. But like you said, because they let Mel get kidnapped she barely has any time with Jayce and when she does return its so little and then he decided to just stay/die with Viktor instead? Like atleast let Jayce and Mel have some sort of goodbye.
>>437993Yeah i really thought Jayce and Viktor would have more of a fight between them about Zaun and Piltover. I remember in season 1 a scene between Viktor and Jacye. It was when Jayce decided to close the lanes for Zaun or something, and he was all concerned when Viktor arrived from Zaun he made some comment about how it was dangerous for him to be in Zaun and how Viktor should have mentioned that the friend he went to visit was from Zaun. Viktor reminded him that he is also from the undercity. This scene just showed how Jayce (and pretty much most of Piltover) actually views Zaunites. He only accepts Viktor because he is his partner and friend.
It just kinda felt that the second season totally forgets the class war between Zaun and Piltover. And just how many people from Piltover just lookdown and have a distain for Zaunites. We do see at the end that Sevika got a spot, but it would have been so much better that instead of Noxus and Hextech god cult stuff it was focused on the actually people of Piltover and Zaun.

Anyway I finished Arcane and it's that bad that I couldn't give two shits about Jayce and Viktor? I mean, sure, they're relevant but everytime they were on screen I thought that Jayce was a spineless, weak individual and Viktor a shitlord who only got mmmuuhh muh leg and Jayce wanted to fuck him for some reason. I didn't like them at all as characters and the series without them could be much better. Not without the hextech stuff, without them as characters, put anyone else and it would be better.

>>446426I'm surprised moids hate it since she still looks young and beautiful (I see the inspiration from Coven with the gold accents) but moids hate everything that isn't coomed up to the max so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Elise was cool, the design was familiar but I can't remember where it came from (Legends of Runeterra? I wonder why Katarina's going after her). I do think it's funny LeBlanc tried to destabilize Demacia but as of The Mageseeker it's pretty unified again while Noxus is descending into infighting and chaos and Mordekaiser is assembling his undead forces.

Hate how short it is.
>>2338788I was looking forward to the world building but the whole show felt like it was just trying to get to the ending asap.
Everything was laser focused on Jinx and Vi until the show realised that's not a good idea and then S2 introduced so many characters and struggled to give meaningful development or introductions.
Cait's arc should have lasted a season but S2 was focused on setting up spinoffs.
I'm glad Fallout won over it tbh
>>436751I love the idea of Jinx/Ekko but like you said it's so surface level and felt rushed. I feel weird seeing people obsess over it as much as they are. If Ekko was a white man would they care as much?
The scene in the AU was really sweet, the way he was looking at her was so sweet and genuine. This show excelled at the visuals.
