    A compilation of two years of shorts reviewing the best and worst skins of every single champion. This series started in 2021, and as such new skins may have come out in the meantime that would change the rankings, but I can't review what isn't out yet.

    Honestly the biggest shock by far is realizing just how many of these shorts came out and just how long it took, feels like yesterday ⏰

    As someone who knows precious little about League of Legends, I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. Similar to your Pokemon shorts, you communicate all your thoughts in a concise, intelligent, and very entertaining way. ⏰

    @TakumiTheFAUSTScientist Před 4 měsíci +333

    And *IT'S FINALLY FINISHED* at last! And TBH *THIS* series became my favorite CZcams short series of all time
    This series really taught me well *TO APPRECIATE ALL OF THE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS' SKINS* even to the simplest ones and pointing out what's good or bad or right or wrong about it and also appreciate the people behind making those skins and Splash Arts
    And I'm going to say this again: *THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS SERIES* Skyen

    @starryeyedinput Před 4 měsíci +23

    speaking as someone who doesn't always have the time ⏱️ or brain-space to watch full-length analysis videos or keep up with a series of shorts as they release, having a massive shorts compilation like this that i can watch on-and-off is just about perfect 💟
    i'm always so impressed with how effectively you can communicate skinline concepts, character lore and cultural references, all whilst providing your own thoughts on the actual designs, both as a whole and in-game. and on top of that, you've got such a strong sense of comedy and voice both in your scripts and on-mic! truly remarkable stuff - thank you for sharing!!

    Man, I'm so happy that you released this video, I was wanting more skins content and your artistic opinion in general, and now I have both in 5 hours of video as a New Year's gift. Thank you very much and happy holidays.

    @nicks.857 Před 4 měsíci +17

    My favorite shorts series on You Tube, I got a little feeling of excitement every time. Afterwards I looked at a skin from a completely new perspective and noticed things I didn’t pay much attention to before.

    @sylvanshroom Před 4 měsíci +6

    I have been meaning to go back and rewatch these because I love hearing analysis of what your takes on what does and doesnt work on these characters and their skins, so the timing couldnt have been more perfect.
    Keep doing your amazing work Skyen and I hope that 2024 is a year of fulfillment and happiness for you! ⏰️

You point out the incredible work and care that some artist put into them and I always come back to your channel because it’s very intellectual and for some reason very soothing haha because damn you are one heck of a creator!!

    Discovering this series is what reignited my love of good character design and analysis, and has also led to me discovering the joy that is the art of LoR. Thank you for all your effort, I hope you do a similar series of character design analysis in future! ⏰

  • @tahilpadia

    I absolutely love the choices of background music you used in these. Some really obscure choices that fit really well too. Like Temptation from Destiny 2 for Project Camille was really cool. ⏰

  • @GalaxyLunaa
    @GalaxyLunaa Před 4 měsíci

    As someone who is currently studying on character design for games I loved watching all of the shorts when they came out, some many good points and advice I'll have to remember and question in my own work before i graduate and go into industry. Loved watching them all back to back in one place an hearing all of your thoughts about the skins and the champions. ⏰

  • @Zykvar
    @Zykvar Před 4 měsíci +2

    Usually I probably wouldn't take the ⏰to watch an hour long analysis of skins in a video game, but you left me with no choice after hooking me in with some of these really engaging shorts. The moment this collection dropped I knew I had to watch it. Really appreciate your hard work!

    I can't believe this was 2 years long. I've been pestering my brother with this series every time a new short came out. And seeing your input on skins made start looking at skins differently than just "oooo skin cool" and made me start to analyze newer skin releases for Champs. Bravo

    ⏰ the series is finally over! I remember looking forward to seeing the shorts drop every week before I went to bed (time zones be funky like that haha).
    It was fun to work on my sketchbook while this compilation was on in the background.
    Also, happy new year, Mr Skyen! I’d like to support you financially in a few years when I’m finally out of school, but for now I’ll settle for watching, liking, and commenting.

  • @RomnilWater
    @RomnilWater Před 4 měsíci +3

    So nice to see another shorts compilation video. Your takes are always interesting regardless of if I agree or not.
    Not to mention your Hot Take video has become a default background video for me when I'm doing other tasks so it's great to have another one.
    Also i laughed when i saw you organized it in reverse alphabetical order.

    Your voice is just so calming and personable to me, I keep coming back to this as something to keep me out of actual shorts when I’m starting my day cause I can let it play and I know I can still move around and do stuff whilst getting dropped little tidbits of ideas and thoughts. I love these compilations ❤🕰️

    ⏰ This was such a blast to watch, I adore all your shorts and getting to watch them all in one place was super nice. I feel like I've learned a lot about character designing (at least, more than I knew going into this!) which will help my characters pop more in the future, so thank you! Your analysis videos are just so top-tier good and you're very good at commentating in a way that makes a 5 hour video enjoyable to listen to instead of tedious and droning after a few hours. I don't even play LoL and yet I know so much about the characters and their skin designs thanks to you, which is great for impressing my friends who do actually play

It's just such a great sight to see and even if there were some takes that I disgareed, most majority of the takes were top notch. It was such a sight to see these kind of takes and hear so familiar soundtracks. And other content you make is also good. I really appreciate what you're doing. ⏰️❤
