I didn't even realize the voice was AI until I read the description, sounds quite good.

Im glad someone actually talking about this small but important thing. Also there is more inconsistency then just animation ones - some champions and their abilities even newer ones looks just horrible. I mean - look at Qiyana kit - her grass Q is just giant rectangle with some grass flying in the air (we are talking about nature magic btw) and her ult is just Corky's empowered E around the wall after subtle wind blow for some unholy reason. Qiyana is fun and all but her kit looks ugly and random.

Cool vid and all but using ai voice is trash

I agree with you in all the points but I recommend changing "it looks cool" and "it looks badass" for "It's consistent with the character" or "it tells us more about who they are" or things like that. Not because you are wrong, you're not, it looks absolutely fucking amazing, but the problem is that ik some people are going to dismiss your entire argument on the basis that "cool" and "badass" are highly subjective attributes. Great video, btw! Its wild how inconsistent Riot can be.

Yooo this guy is cooking! Keep it up!!

Couldn't go past min 2. The AI voice was obnoxious

dude, are you shy? why are you using ai text-to-speech?

We can't have these bc Rito hasn't made enough money off $500 gacha skins. Pls don't bully the sm0ll indie company. /s

I think I myself could do all the missing animations on within a week giving that all the rigging is already prepared and none of them need much detail or length giving the format. A basic knockup animation for an humanoid would take me literally like 15 mins?

this is insane brotherman

I mean youre right but I also feel riot just makes run slow animations on champions that may have pieces of clothing hanging out or kinda shaking, so it doesnt look as weird. knowing this company, im glad we at least got that

A big part of LoL is always lagging behind several years because Rito lacks the balls to man up and bring the whole game to a fresh, modern level all at once. It's a shame.

At least they put more effort than you did by using ai voices

Zoe 1 trick here. The passion poured into this champ in the animations and particles in INSANE. They have never been updated yet they beat even modern animations. She has 3 Walks, Run, Home guard, 3 separate "stop moving" animations, Slowed walk, Knocked up, At least 2 Ult animations. A number of random idle things. She will interrupt her walk animation to stick her tongue out at enemies. HER HAIR ACUTALY TRAILS BEHIND HER, like it turns when she turns. It makes playing other champions hard, they just don't seem as alive.

Brown?

man aphelios was not metioned. In first release on that champ was awesome, he was like flying when he was sprinting and other weapons have unique animation walks. But things happen, aphelios was broken so they nerf alot, even the walk animation was gone forever. 😢

Bro need a good thumbnail

But doesn't Seraphine have a run slow animation like she's going out of breath?

This is the case with Wild rift as well, Champions use to have an animated pose in champion sellct & befor game starts up, And since 2023 to today, This animated poses is super rare to be found.

Good video, the ai narration is awful though, I would finish the video if it was silent and captioned.

Dont get me started with skins... Price means nothing some have no changes while others have a lot of love put into them but have their animations broken and never fixed,because riot diesnt care. Pyke ctrl5 doesnt work fir all skins, something always happens yes but his legendaries ironically dont change visually. As for broken skins, mecha kingdoms jax has many animations and effects broken by an update still to be fixed. Its been years and it feels like no one besides me noticed. A little detail which isnt broken about him is his reactive ult shield. Technically vfx not animation but it has a different hit effect depending on direction and damage type (physical/ap) Inconsistency certainly will get worse, 96% of players dont care or notice the small details that some rioters add and even neccesary things like new animations for a legendary are looked over by people, soul fighter samira an ultimate was extremely lacking while being an extreme financial success. People often dont know that legendaries are supposed to have a new set of animations. Ive never seen anyone mention kaisas lack of evolutions, only base and bullet angel have very slight tweaks, they should be as noticeable as kha zix evolutions. Not instantly knowing wether her q or e are evolved can easily get you killed it should be important information. Also riots technical limitations oddly only activate whenever something is underperforming. Weve seen what they can do and their current plan is 1 gacha scam every month. They have 3 forms something that was impossible for samira and their concerns about crashing the game with too many ultimate level skins apparently is also gone since theyre monthly.

14:51 An important thing to note is initially people complained about Yone's run animation being a walk, so they gave him an actual running animation and made the old one his dynamic battle stance. Sigh. Back when Riot cared and listened to feedback.

Crazy how Dota, a game that isn't as popular, has consistent animations with every hero release

Riot constantly does half assed stuff it's not really surprising, fans don't care enough though

Pls dont use the ai voice its awful

this channel is peak keep making videos like this. the viego one was already really well-made and this one is a step up. interesting premise and great execution.

You have no idea how much I love your videos. Riot should watch these and get their shit together.

good video, keep it up

why pay for a service, that people generally look down upon (ai text 2 speech) when your voice would be just fine. Personally, i like the effort and passion about a topic that's being discussed. But using AI to replace something so simple as talking feels like you're looking down on your audience. neat vid tho

samira doing the stanky leg

It´s really frustrating to see some old cool features being discarted like that. They are implemented just for being nice and giving the character more life, but just like that they´re gone. It really cost that much to have them? And yet they brag on and on about quality and their "biggest budget" nonsense. At least I hope that sweet gacha skin money helps with that, right riot? Great video, man. Found out about you with this one and already caught my attention. Gotta see that Viego video now!

This was shockingly interesting

Good stuff, looking forward to more

I'm going to be honest, this video is 15 minutes longer than it should be. You had 21 minutes to explain why and/or how riot should implement more animations and failed to do so. If you don't see the slowness effect below your feet, you don't need more visual clarity, you need better eyes. Additionally, it is fairly clear when you do get stunned and set airborne as it literally tells you so on the screen. I originally skipped over the attacking tower and walk/run animation section as I assumed they'd be of no use. In order to make a fair comment, I watched them over, and I was proven right. The majority of this video can be set into probably 10 slides over 5 ish minutes with an ACTUAL HUMAN VOICE. All in all, poor video quality, and especially poor argument.

really nice video! thought I was watching some big league youtuber, hopefully one day you will be <3

It's like comparing Skarner and Viktor's VGU skins against Sion's or Warwick's. Old Riot used to put a lot more effort into updating their older champions.

the production quality is wild here, great video :)

I really liked your Viego video, I'm happy you're doing another one in the same style, they're really entertaining :]

Why does your voice sound like Yuri Lowenthal

Buy our 250 dollar skins.

While the topic is not as interesting as your previous one i enjoyed this video a whole lot more, great job!

Great video. Definitely looking forward to VO inconsistency. There is a lot to talk about when it comes to overall lack of quality and more importantly consistency. For example the weird pasting of newly dubbed Yasuo quotes during Yone release that heavily clash with his old persona. Not only the voicelines make little sense when it comes to the time period Yasuo is when saying them but also the voice itself is audiably more mature which makes it that much more jarring. They could have just update all of his voice lines instead of adding only a few. There is also an issue with Lucian whos original VA Patrick Seitz for whatever reason was recasted upon senna release but also Riot decided that the new VA is not capable of grunting properly and thus Patric still makes all the shouts during Lucian Ult. This is of course not an issue on his High Noon skin. Speaking of skins some of them like Spirit Blossom Yone happen to have new First move Voice lines as well as new Ult voice lines, despite their usual price tag. These days however Riot hires new VA's for the Arcane series rather then sticking to the one fans are already faimilar with but when it comes to the actual game we are listening to the original voices... that of course is the case for the newest and more expensive skins. The new series that Riot is making is on their way and we will most likely have to deal with another set of unfamiliar actors doing their take on whatever retcon Riot will write in them. It will be especially painful when it comes to someone like Darius who's original VA is no longer doing the work for him and instead Riot hired a new Voice for God King as well as any media and cinematics after it release. This means that with the new series Darius will be having third voice. The inconsistencies are stacking upon each other. There are a lot more weird decisions that Riot made like deleting interactive gameplay system. Back in the day Yasuo use to call out Riven Q and R wind slash with unique quotes during the gameplay, nowdays those quotes were move towards the first meeting line which makes no sense. A lot of character specific interactions like Swain having unique Taunt response to certain characters like Darius or Urgon are gone. He also have unique voice lines while moving depending if his team is behind, even or ahead in gold. There are countless of other examples of Riot ruining already existing voice over, creating more inconsistency or never building upon the amazing and unique interactions in between specific characters but im sure youll cover all that in the video. On a side note it would sound way better if it was you that actually reads the script. None of my buissness to tell you its money wasted but it does sound jarring quite often even if youre paying for text to speech. Best of luck.

You are not so clever .

Antes de su rework Aurelion Sol tenia una animacion vinculada a la expansion de su anillo de estrellas, dicha animacion consistia en que al finalizar la habilidad y retraer su anillo de estrellas el campeon giraba sobre si mismo, esto representaba la transicion desde su estado de velocidad de movimiento por defecto hacia un estado de velocidad de movimiento aumentada por la pasiva de la habilidad, no estoy 100% seguro pero creo que esa animacion ya no se encuentra disponible🗿F

Interesting video. I also think it is important to highlight these shortcomings because of the issues with readability, particularly going forward with skins. I know some of the readability issues are overblown/used to snipe at Riot and some are pretty legitimate but I think what you highlight with knockups and stuns is important to take a look at in this context. I have to imagine that it takes more work to make a skin than a knockup animation... and you'd think something like that at bare minimum would now HAVE to be standard.

I liked the video but hated the AI voice
