    Realmente esperaba con ansias esta prestigio, esperaba verla con algún vestido o algo que resalte su femineidad, ya que en todas sus skins resaltan su rudeza, pero bueno, supongo que tenían que apelar a la mayoría de jugadores de Akali, que son hombres, asi que les cae ideal, lo malo es que mata la fantasía. No sé si es inspiración de brujas o inspiración de un caza brujas, o incluso puede confundirse con un vampiro, no transmite la idea de Coven, que se supone que son modelos con ropa inspirada en una temática.

      Good point! Sadly the skin has other issues besides not looking like coven. The oversimplified textures on some of her parts, the weird splashart, the way the face doesn't match Akali, the bland pants. I'd give her a solid 8 if the issue was only in the name

    KDA ALL OUT felt more prestigious than this skin. And actually, some vfxs have the same crystallized designs to them too so… it didn’t reach any new heights. Also, never noticed the birds on her passive before. I would say cool but they last .00002 seconds lol. Also don’t understand why there are random flowers in the vfx, rather than coven sigils. Don’t really care for the splash art as it looks nothing like Akali… in fact, weirdly enough, she looks like this 16 yearold girl I work with haha. Like exactly like her.

      Maybe you're right
      I personally would rate the skin a lot higher if she looked more like Akali and her skin was a tad closer to the splashart (especially the huge blobs of gold that are her pauldrons)

    DID THEY REALLY GAVE THE PRESTIGE TO THE MOST IRRELEVANT CHAMP IN THIS LINE?! (I'm a wild rift player, sending my respect to the syndra mains, R.I.P y'all...)

    Great videos as always. But such a poor choice for coven, let alone the coveted prestige skin. Such a waste.
