This happens quite a lot honestly. The first wave is good and inspired but any time they revisit things it's clear they have 0 idea on what they were doing the first time around.
@Jeff55369 Lol teemo shrooms as cups. When people step on them having a shatter sound. Would be fun. I wish riot would take more risks like this cause honestly funny skins are so much fun
@@ivegotavandetta Teemo in this skinline would have been cute. Instead of sipping tea on porcelain cups, he would use his straw and spit it out to his enemies lolll
Porcelain Xerath would’ve been amazing. The spirit trapped within a beautiful ancient jar made by the most talented porcelain artisan to be ever live breaks free but the pieces of the jar are still bound together by the craftsmanships of the artisan.
Gwen, Orianna, being porcelain doll, K'sante's weapon being a porcelain shield that BREAKS, and or Even Gnar as a porcelain statur of a beast is a huge missed opportunity
@@etheron1235 Why do you think MF gets another skin or Lux has a billion skins? They sell. MF with the New skin and Ezreal with the Heavenscale skin are now the Champions with the most skins. 20 for each of them.
just imagine if they actually thought a little bit about ceramic pots, then we would have a great gangplank skin of him shooting the pots with a spiritual explosion coming out of them
GP just like you said; and Orianna, Taliyah, K’sante, Gwen, Gnar, Alistar like others said… Seriously, even us randomass players can come up with a better roster for the skin line than Riot itself.
Personally I think the worst thing about Porcelain coming back is just all the missed champion opportunities. Ori, Gwen, Syndra (throwing vases or tea cups). If we are going for "popular champions", Darius is such a weird choice. I get we may need Irelia and MF in the skinline to get that China money since they are their fave champs, but Darius?
All these references of Porcelain weaponrey might be a nod to artist Helena Hauss, who has become known for her porcelain statues of axes, guns, greneade and such. I recommend checking it out, her work is super cool
holy crap! very cool, but you left out the best one, the porcelain (i'm typing this right now, strange) spiked baseball bat! The flail is great too. I never knew weapons could be so pretty.
I love how one of the examples you used for cases where it makes sense to change the face was project ashe and she just still looks like ashe but with augments
The rendering on the irelia splash art is amazing, but i cannot get over a couple of things. Her back, once again, broken, or at least heavily contorted like 90% of females in splash arts. Her hands are so big? Her arms seem so long? I'm sure it makes sense if I actually draw over the proportions and with a view that seems to come slightly from below, but with her tiny face it just makes her body look so... large. I've seen people rave about the splash art but I don't see it. Her face not looking like irelia also wouldn't have been as much of an issue if she had her typical long hair.
Absolutely agree. It looks STUNNING, but also just not good.. It doesn’t look like Irelia. AT ALL. It looks like “generic anime babe #13.” Any of her defining facial features are completely gone. That might as well be a different person
And if you zoom in on her neck it is nightmare infusing. SO LONG. Just like a Brontosaurus. It looks beautiful just don't look at it for more than 5 seconds. 😅
The main thing is that her upper body is facing one way, and then the lower body is facing a completely different direction so that it looks way more contorted than an actual human body. It becomes a traditional "boobs and butt" pose, where they try to give you 100% of both but break the spine in the process.
@@saraho2981 Just stand up and turn your upper body to the left while lifting up your left leg, I can do pretty much the same thing and im not even thin, tf are you guys complaining about?
The issue of this event is the Skins are LOOK the SAME and frankly speaking Aurelion's Legendary does not even look like a legendary skin and I forget.... Year of the DRAGON but it never feels like A Dragon Year
It feels like Pyke or this new christmas Senna, they don't feel legendary at all. Sure he has great ctrl 1-4 but that's about it, everything else is the same as a 1350 skin.
My friend follows a bunch of artists working on those splasharts and she told me that it was RIOT that used ai to edit the original finished art that is sent to them via the artist… But since edits on Riot’s part is included in the terms and conditions they sign they can’t do anything about Riot butchering their work using ai.
Prestige Porcelain Kindred have nothing porcelain in them, it's so weird. The previous one was weirdly human, yes, but at least it looked pretty, especially Wolf's mask. This skinline has less and less porcelain in it. As a Morgana main, I was really hyped up when I heard about her being in this skinline, but they didn't even give her porcelain wings, she's got generic glowing blue wings she had times and times before, albeit with some porcelain details. I'm really disappointed
I am happy Lamb is back to being masked but I was really hoping for a new thematic for kindred with the porcelain. Though the skin looks more crystal modus than porcelain in my opinion. Anyone else hoping for a more creepy Kindred skin? like old gods or even fright night? Something to invoke the fear of death.
MY biggest issues with this patch of skins is the champion choices...NO ONE can convince on how anyone BUT aureluon fits this skinline...putting gunslingers and blade users onto a thematic that emphasises FRAGILE PORCELAIN is insane... Bc not only did they not fit the thematic itself but there were SO MANY better champion choices than what we got... Such as shaco who could've been a porcelain puppet doll, gwen and orianna who would've been porcelain dolls...like yeah these three would all be dolls but the fantasy of the skinline would rise TREMENDOUSLY if it had these choices... nonetheless, riot dropped the ball once again as they do every time with a 2nd batch of a skinline...and it's a shame cuz this was one of the more inventive and innovative lny thematics that riot has came up with in the past few years...
Taric would've made more sense, have small beautiful porcelain figurines flow around him, and one to link onto a person. Along with his ult having some cool effects, and his mace could maybe work a bit more than an axe or guns xD
I just wished they gave him a bit more. Like a form change mechanic when at certain stacks. Would’ve been perfect to play off his original theme of breaking loose or in this case maybe gaining armor.
I feel like Porcelain Jhin will be the only one with gun that would fit. Since Jhin is such an artistic maniac and porcelain is related with arts and crafts.
Damn, we got christmas themed skins around december, spooky skins around october, hmm what other globally celebrated event happens around January to February Oh the Lunar new year which is basically celebrated by most of Eastern and south eastern nations with a few changes
@@Lolamy Not when Riot keeps releasing chinese inspired skinlines every 2 months. It's getting repetitive especially when the all of them are starting to look the samey, it's just "champions looking gorgeous in chinese outfits 😍" over and over.
i dont get why after so many years we cant have a setting for changing skins into the base skin for champs. this would solve a lot of issues, like the issue with the sfx as mentioned in the video or spells that are harder to see (a lot of legendary skins have this issue)
I really wish they would be a bit more 'personal' with the faces. I loved when Taliyah was released becaause at least she would be recognisable. And with Swain and Darius (and probably most male champs), they do a reasonable job keeping his face similar between skins. so why can't the woman have something that makes em feel a bit more like actual characters? I'm pretty sure most people loved the visuals for Jinx's face in arcane more than her splash arts from lol just because it feels much more like a person.
I understand Riot was purchased by Tencent but I am sick and tired of Asian-inspired skins and Asian-inspired champions at this point. Few months ago I realized how good League of Legends used to be and how it turned into a flashy Asian-inspired mobile moba that is worse than the games that copied League at this point.
Better uninstall because this isn't going away. Gotta please their new overlords. One of the main reasons I quit. I want OG League, not Eastern LoL. Plenty of clones already exist for people who want those.
@@HighLanderPonyYT I am no longer a League player for months now, I uninstalled the game for quite some time now. I only follow updates to see if it comes back. But at this point I am not that sure anymore.
What's funny is that tencent gives riot full freedom to do whatever they want. It's riot who's trying to please the china market, specially with the last 4 batches of skins who were all for the chinese new year. I'm not sure if old LoL was any better either. Instead of appealing to eastern cultures it was a clear cut copy of warcraft, with hideous pointy 3d models and all. League didn't start to be better until season 4 more or less. And honestly the newest seasons had it's peaks like renata, bel 'veth, naafiri and most reworks. Still waiting for skarner to finally came out
Riot stopped caring about clarity like 10 years ago. Sometimes i have to double check even when i read the name of the champion. Because even the names were changed for some skins...
No, no, i think everyone missed the mark with the choice of characters in this year's skinline, cause in my opinion it makes sense! After all, in riot's eyes, someone gotta pay for A Sol legendary that won't bring them thousands of dollars. Although with these sound effects, i don't read them a commercial success Riot is desperate for anyway
Kindred mains are weird af, one of the biggest reasons why I bought Spirit Blossom Kindred was because I found a mod to completely remove her mask and here they are crying about the OG Porcelain skin
I personally don't mind as much. Tho lore wise she is a another part of death and death being human somewhat loses charm for me? Mythical lamb and a wolf sounds cooler. But honestly blossom is cutie
@@shine6783 I think Spirt Blossom is nice because while she is human looking, being covered head to toe helps dehumanize her and lore wise it's a good interpretation of how Ionia would view her. But the backlash to the og Porcelain skin probably wouldn't have been as big if the mask had just covered her entire face, I mean the entire point of Kin wearing masks in the first place is to not give death a face right?
3:33 Porcelain is sometimes used as a word for several different types of ceramic materials. Though mostly the white shiny pottery most know, there are ceramic knifes. They are VERY sharp and tend to stay that way for a long time...
It's funny because people cling to these arbitrary values instead of voting with their wallets. If a decision is bad, treat it so, even if it's giving up some "champ loyalty" or whatever.
Malphite would've been such a great addition to the skinline. I mean, he even "shatters" when his Passive goes down. If they really wanted to add an adc to line, I think Jhin would've been a good choice, he has an artistic theme already after all. I think Taric, Xerath and MAYBE even Zilean would've been good choices as well for the line.
5:16 im pretty sure the skin department didnt know which champions to give the porcelain skins so they used champion randomizer well except for aurelion sol
I like and always have liked the Chinese New Year skins. Well not so much the Lunar Beast line, but the rest I have. I would also love it if they brought back Waring Kingdom skins.
Have high frequency hearing loss on one side, i loved the look of the line when the first skins came out but i cant play with it cus the sound effects causes headaches. sad to hear they never fixed it. : /
Irelia is based heavily on Chinese sword fantasy (floating swords that atack for you and stuff) so I can see the reason for her single theme that extends across all her skins
we getting porcelain after dragon scale, but lets not forget that we got dragonmancer skins before this one as well, im burnt out, i want some cooler aesthetics, maybe less serious ones, hopefully in april with april fools
It also seems weird to release a Tiger themed porcelain skin for Darius with the Year of the Dragon skinline. It's as if they didnt manage to get it done last year when it actually was Year of the Tiger and they squeezed it in this time.
my biggest issue is that ezreal got another skin right after getting his 2nd prestige and a regular skin last month for heavenly scale. meanwhile I been waiting for years for some skins for my mains
Shoulda put up a warning before you played the sounds XD. I was like welp it doesn't look too bad right.. then you played the sound and I was like.. whoa, it is bad.
Okay, so it wasnt just me who found sound FX of porcelain skins terrible... And as much as I love Miss Fortune and Kai'Sa, there are so many champs that are more deserving of lunar skins, but riot is focused on milking as much as they can, yet again
Alistar could've been cow (a bit on the nose but you can get creative with it), Braum could be goat, just change the door to have goat horns and theming and bam (good god my boi needs a new skin), Gwen as rabbit would've been cool, Vex as Rat could work, and shadow is just a rat or smt in the skin. Literally 4 better alternatives to Graves, irellia, morgana and MF right there. Riot tries not to choose generic champions for skins challenge impossible.
The Porcelain skin lost all touch with the porcelain aspects. Now they are just White and Blue. Amumu got the best one
Don't forget the omnipresent gold trim
That happens to every skinline after the third or even second iteration.
Everything gets melted down into a simple color scheme.

People just expect more from a multi billion dollar company
Soft-core NFT kekw
I actually like splash arts a lot and judge by them what I'd want, but still I'm not gonna have a skin that looks bad in game.
Still no good skin preview in LoL after 14+ years btw.
whether or not i buy a skin is heavily influenced by the splashart. it's obviously not everything, but it's what grabs my attention first.

Malphite would've been such a great addition to the skinline. I mean, he even "shatters" when his Passive goes down.
If they really wanted to add an adc to line, I think Jhin would've been a good choice, he has an artistic theme already after all.
I think Taric, Xerath and MAYBE even Zilean would've been good choices as well for the line.
3:13 "The effects are stellar." Necrit making puns without even realizing it 😝.
7:20 "And Ezreal" LMAOO
5:16 im pretty sure the skin department didnt know which champions to give the porcelain skins so they used champion randomizer well except for aurelion sol
I can't unsee Porcelain Irelia's blade as Sentinel Irelia's blade
Well, Lunar New Year is 2 weeks ends officially on the 23rd
This video inspires me to play a poke build. Constant sound effects all game!
Skin thematics are just washing machines that riot throws champs in now, preferably the most popular
For a second, i thought my cat broke something when you showed SFX
I like and always have liked the Chinese New Year skins. Well not so much the Lunar Beast line, but the rest I have. I would also love it if they brought back Waring Kingdom skins.
Have high frequency hearing loss on one side, i loved the look of the line when the first skins came out but i cant play with it cus the sound effects causes headaches. sad to hear they never fixed it. : /
Irelia is based heavily on Chinese sword fantasy (floating swords that atack for you and stuff) so I can see the reason for her single theme that extends across all her skins
we getting porcelain after dragon scale, but lets not forget that we got dragonmancer skins before this one as well, im burnt out, i want some cooler aesthetics, maybe less serious ones, hopefully in april with april fools
Darius holding a fan 😂😂
Of all the characters i thought Riven would fit really well, with her 'broken' rune sword.
Darius heavily reminded me of Gara from Warframe. A warrior with glass armor and she even got the glass hammer-axe thing released alongside her.
I think the kindred preststige will be 2000 events points, but hope to be 125 essence i prefer
More importantly, it's the year of the Dragon.
For a decade Orianas death sound was my bench mark for ear cancer. Thank you miss fortune for finally giving me a sound effect i hate more
It also seems weird to release a Tiger themed porcelain skin for Darius with the Year of the Dragon skinline. It's as if they didnt manage to get it done last year when it actually was Year of the Tiger and they squeezed it in this time.
I'd love to see the elasticity of a Porcelain Zac jumping around.
my biggest issue is that ezreal got another skin right after getting his 2nd prestige and a regular skin last month for heavenly scale. meanwhile I been waiting for years for some skins for my mains
Shoulda put up a warning before you played the sounds XD.
I was like welp it doesn't look too bad right.. then you played the sound and I was like.. whoa, it is bad.
When he said darius I was actually relieved, because I thought it was gonna be Olaf when he was talking about an axe 😂
Okay, so it wasnt just me who found sound FX of porcelain skins terrible...
And as much as I love Miss Fortune and Kai'Sa, there are so many champs that are more deserving of lunar skins, but riot is focused on milking as much as they can, yet again
Listening to the porcelain SFX, I really want a metal pipe skinline now!
Alistar could've been cow (a bit on the nose but you can get creative with it), Braum could be goat, just change the door to have goat horns and theming and bam (good god my boi needs a new skin), Gwen as rabbit would've been cool, Vex as Rat could work, and shadow is just a rat or smt in the skin. Literally 4 better alternatives to Graves, irellia, morgana and MF right there. Riot tries not to choose generic champions for skins challenge impossible.
It’s also year of the dragon, so that’s probably why Sol got it.
THANK YOU someone with a brain lol
They missed the oportunity to make Gangplank Porcelain with the barrels as pots
the sound effects, is same for all skins 😭
