Imagine they add Mothership Bel'Veth into this skinline and Rek'Sai into a land submarine. It would be quite Pog. Of course with the current "circumstances" they must add kai'sa, ahri, lux or akali into this to actually make a profit
I mean, having Kai'sa and Kassadin in this skinline would actually be a neat move (Kassadin can be the legendary) and Akali makes a bit of sense, but I would prefer Nilah. Now for the Battlecast I would say that Bel'Veth, Rek'Sai and Fiddlesticks would be amazing (Bel can be legendary as well)
For those wondering why i didn't ask for creator Viktor. It's good, but I don't think anyones opinion are much to talk about. Also I didn't want resistance cause they're all boring. So see y'all when warring kingdoms rfsr comes out
As of writing this comment, WR only has Jhin number of robot skins, which are the Mecha skins for Malph, A Sol, Rengar and Kha'zix... and I have all of them, it's just my aesthetic.
Back in the day Battlecast was one of my favourite skinlines (top 2 along side Arcade) but I don't think I could say that anymore since Cosmic and Dark Star happened and unlike Arcade I don't think Battlecast has the same appeal to current me that it had to 2014 me, like I remember 2014 absolutely loving Battlecast Vel'Koz and Kog'Maw the skins were the main reason I wanted to play them but since then they've both gotten better skins like Arcanist Kog'Maw and Blackfrost Vel'Koz and when Battlecast Zac and Nasus released in 2020, I didn't even notice. Still hoping one day we get a legendary or ultimate Dark Star Aurelion Sol skin but we know that won't happen unless his gameplay update is so successful in all regions that Riot think it's worth making a skin for him.
My first legendary skin was battlecast Skarner and, I love it. I don't play him often, but I just think it looks cool. Hopefully a rework will make him more fun to play.
1:18 In the skins defence: the skin was supposed (it was) to be blue, but the community went ape shit and asked it and Runeborn to be changed to red/green effects. Meaning: It could have been WORSE, so be happy.
As a Mecha fan I'll always advocate for more machine skins. I love this line, though I'd like to see a human champ get turned into a battlecast. I feel like it lends itself to creative expression taking something human and making them into mechanical beast/monster. Also Battlecast Volibear and Rek'sai when Riot?!
Based on Olaf vs everything, Eternum Rek'Sai IS Battlecast. Eternum Cassiopeia appears in the same universe alongside the battlecast units taking orders from Viktor. (Though I would love a true Battlecast Rek'sai with shovel hands, a chainsaw tail for spin moves, a missile launcher for prey seeker and a target lock for her new ultimate's mark)
I would love to see more Zaun champs do the corporate skin line. Imagine corporate zac where he is made of forms/business papers stuffed into a suit and sunglasses and his blobs become briefcases
I personally love battlecast nasus just because the w being chains that close around the target feels awesome, like you're closing your grip around a target as you go to hit them with the stack stick.
I actually forgot these skins existed. But I'll be dammed if some of them aren't cool. Honestly i probably forgot about these skins since i love the Project Skin line. Someone who responded to this comment said that Project Mordekaiser doesn't get beaten by Battlecast so I think that's a th-cam.com/video/6wbfl3Bk-F0/w-d-xo.html.
Surprised Lucian wasnt thrown into this skin line as a resistance member, because we apparently dont have enough of him in EVERY OTHER robotic skin line
No matter what schedule the vids will be now. Idc, Because whatever you make no matter the time it takes. Will always be awesome. Hope University goes well Nicky.
From my experience I have 2 big points of view: aspect and effects, and what I call gameplay experience. Some skins are awesome in terms of effects and design, but in game they feel somewhat weird in game ( like: sentinel diana, pulsefire caitlyn, dunkmaster darius). Nasus and velkoz are in the side where the gameplay feeling is strong, and design less. Battlecast vel koz feels better than others skins, like blackfrost, and is a lot older, and that says something. Battlecast Nasus might look keh, but the overall red design, metalic voice, w that sounds like you are dragged with chains for 99% slow, q feels good, overall dk if many would complain about it. Both should be 8/10 for me
Battlecast zac is definitely my favourite of the skinline and my favourite of zac's skins, it invokes the same feeling as watching molten magma flowing videos That feeling being hunger for the red glowing gummy
One of my fav skin lines period, I love the greasy slag heap metal abomination skins, they all feel like a mix of gears of war and warhammer 40k tropes and I adore it, rather than a resistance skins (while still amazing in concept) I want a mecha skin line inspired by the orcs of WH40k just shit slapped together and painted with belief that “hmmm red makes dakka shoot faster” mentality
Coming back to this video and to be honest Naafiri could be a very nice replacement for battle cast nasus. The idea of robot hounds tracking you down and there is a pack of them would make such an interesting concept. But alas it is now late.
At this point, if the first patreon pledge is just a cup of coffee, I am just imaging Nicky is sitting in a room, full of nothing but coffee cups funded by Xeno
Turning Zac purple was actually a genius level reference to DarkkMane, aka Satan, aka Nithin, aka that one guy that looks like an historically accurate Jesus, aka that guy that makes really good TH-cam videos (i guess), but that last one i'd be surprise if is how anyone knows him from
I remember being real mad at the battlecast vel'koz because when he launched his ingame model looked SHIIIIT compared to the splash art, even more than usual for back then. It looks much better with his upgraded/updated vfx.
I do love battlecast and it is mostly because it was one of the OG evil robot skin lines, and I like the red accents present on every skin of the bunch. If I could retroactively erase half of the other robot skins and rework them into battlecast, I would.
"I don't know why anyone would purchase this skin when Space Groove is right there." When this skin was launched, Space Groove wasn't right there... ... so now, I have both.
Can you please do Psyops next? Or Sugar Rush? I feel thats a skinline that a lot of people forget while some of its skins fit youre taste i would think.
I am a sucker for robots in games and media. i just love em. and I dont know why. i dont know where it started. but i love them and so this is one of my favorite skinlines for that reason.
My favourite Battlecast are Cho and Old urgot,cho is just good,animations,sounds especially the emote and I like the way he shines when he eats smt but old Urgot with battlecast reminds me of a skylander robot,clunky,funny but cool and I love that
As a vel'koz main they make his tentacles interesting like zac's skins in every skin, either they are wires, chains, holy P I S S and so on, I find Battlecast the third best after Archlight and Inferno
That raises a question: If Riot ends up doing the Hextech construct lore progression with Skarner's rework, won't they to drastically change his Battlecast skin since it'd just look like another robot?
I'm fairly certain NickyBoi and Sunnysplosion are the same person. Nicky "going back to University" is just them flipping the voice-changer to record some Sunny content.
I really like Batlecast skin line. Sure it's not the most original skin-line, but it's nice that we have Terminator reference in League. Also my problem with Batlecast Nasus is - Why would you pick that over Infernal ? I mean Batlecast Nasus is basicaly mecha-Infernal Nasus with less voice lines :/
ive always been neutral on the battlecast line but i do have a special place in my heart for creator viktor, even if now it looks kinda ass compared to his other skins, because i was a viktor main all the way back then when this skin came out and it was the most hype ive been since playing league of legends

How is he doing half the job? He's just funding it, that's it
Fun fact about battlecast Viktor: His recall animation featured a teaser for bel'veth 8 years before her release.
Well yes, but actually no. It was supposed to be Anivia skin but it was cancelled for some reason
Allegedly
and then Rito dropped the ball by not making it her release skin

Oooh they could make Kai'sa into a cyborg
They already have miss fortune 🤷🏽♂️
Rek'sai has an eternum skin which is the same universe.
@@ethanstyant9704 They could make her look like the assaultron from Fallout 4.

when u gonna request project skin line
Honestly I'll always love how many different versions of robots they've made.

Battlecast skarner when he dances: "Boogie protocol engaged"
I just love that skin

I lobe that idea. Zac also said he wants to get a suit, so...

Battlecast is by far one of my favorite skin lines, and I really feel like it needs to be given some love

I'm loving you new style of editing, already thought your humor was top notch but now it just hits right everytime!

Love the Gen 5 Pokemon OST as background music

I distinctly remember when Xerath was released players at the time were livid because both his release skins were blue.

But honestly, i think that battlecast is such an underated skinline
Battlecast zac is definitely my favourite of the skinline and my favourite of zac's skins, it invokes the same feeling as watching molten magma flowing videos
That feeling being hunger for the red glowing gummy
E
Skarner and Cho have the best ones imo, I honestly cannot wait to see how Chos is gonna look once he gets his vgu :0
Agreed. If they manage to give him evolving forms, then the upgrading robot narrative will already sell the concept.
@Bartosz He's on the priority list, along with a few others, so it's only a matter of time. Might take a few more years, though.
HOW THOSE HE DOES IT XENO YOU ARE INSANE
Duh

Best Battlecast skin imo is the long awaited Skarner video by nickyboi.

I"M FINALLY EARLY LESSGOOO
also top-tier content love you nicky
As a Cho’Gath main who doesn’t have Dark Star, Battlecast Prime is my favorite.
The thing this video made me realize the most is that I REALLY want Resistance Rumble
I remember being real mad at the battlecast vel'koz because when he launched his ingame model looked SHIIIIT compared to the splash art, even more than usual for back then. It looks much better with his upgraded/updated vfx.
Honestly, I bet most peeps were expecting this one to be commed by Xeno. Absolute legend!
That Xerath Bio just gave me a idea on dnd lich trap
2:10 Ah HEEEllo Aziraphael, how did giving the humans a sword go ?
This and high noon are my two favorite skinlines. Hopefully they give us more battlecast skins in the future.
Nicky I'm so glad you make content, that being said where is the skarner video?
Battlecast Nasus is even worse when you remember Infernal Nasus exists
I can't frigin wait to see skarners battlecast skin when the rework drops.
I do love battlecast and it is mostly because it was one of the OG evil robot skin lines, and I like the red accents present on every skin of the bunch. If I could retroactively erase half of the other robot skins and rework them into battlecast, I would.
E
Appreciate the Pokémon black elite 4 music
"I don't know why anyone would purchase this skin when Space Groove is right there."
When this skin was launched, Space Groove wasn't right there...
... so now, I have both.
This is probably my absolute favourite skin line.
"Say the line Nicky!"
"This Rapid-Fire skin review was brought to you buy Xenon on Patreon"
Can you please do Psyops next? Or Sugar Rush? I feel thats a skinline that a lot of people forget while some of its skins fit youre taste i would think.
The actual best comparison one can make of Battlecast lore is actually comparing it to Transformers Beast Machines.
This video literally dropped the day after I got Battlecast Kog' Maw over getting Final Boss Veigar. And I regret NOTHING.
Battlecast is by far my favorite skin line. It's too bad that I hate how Skarner plays because his skin is the best looking one...
I always love the editing of his videos
So turns out xerath's battlecast skin want even designed as one it's original name was something like lockdown xerath, it's in his spotlight
I am a sucker for robots in games and media. i just love em. and I dont know why. i dont know where it started. but i love them and so this is one of my favorite skinlines for that reason.
I didn't even know zac had a battlecast skin until this video
YOOOO I was hoping for one of these soon
My favourite Battlecast are Cho and Old urgot,cho is just good,animations,sounds especially the emote and I like the way he shines when he eats smt but old Urgot with battlecast reminds me of a skylander robot,clunky,funny but cool and I love that
Battlecast Skarner is my overall favorite skin.. Love that Stingy Boi. I play Skarner exclusively because of that skin.
This is my favorite skin line next to omen of the dark skins :D
I just realized i have all the battlecast skins other than Zac and urgots one, never really paid it attention
As a vel'koz main they make his tentacles interesting like zac's skins in every skin, either they are wires, chains, holy P I S S and so on, I find Battlecast the third best after Archlight and Inferno
E
I didn't even know Battlecast Zac and Nasus existed, what.
YO WHAT? Battlecast Nasus is so nice :( And it feels great to play
Wasn't there a rumor a rumor that Bel'veth would have a Battlecast skin?
That was a theory that Bel'veth was in concept fot years. It turns out that was a canceled Anivia skin
@@goonman6777 huh
Neat
Still think she should get it
NickyBoiYT is slowly taking the Dumbs gimmick so we can no longer bully him for not having LPP. What a devilish goblin
That one dude is paying nickybois entire paycheck...
I love battlecast skins man, hope riot instead of doing more semi robotic semi project skins they do more of this ones
E
Xeno is basically owning Nicky's life at this point
tbh battlecast xerath is my favourit xerath skin
the pure red on his particles are just amazing
No mention of Mecha Kha'Zix who has the same aesthetic as Battlecast despite supposedly being in the same universe as Mecha Sett, Mecha Sion, etc. lol
Damn, I had no idea Battlecast is so old. The splash art seems so modern
Yeah, Riot started doing 'modern' splasharts in like, early 2012.
When are you gonna review Dark Cosmic Nickyboi?
That raises a question: If Riot ends up doing the Hextech construct lore progression with Skarner's rework, won't they to drastically change his Battlecast skin since it'd just look like another robot?
Gotta love the pokemon song on the background
I really love the Battlecast Skarner
I also really love skarner (i main him)
cant wait to miss all that when the rework hits
Wasn't the battlecast universe viktor's attempt at fighting the void by using machines?
I'm fairly certain NickyBoi and Sunnysplosion are the same person. Nicky "going back to University" is just them flipping the voice-changer to record some Sunny content.
This video made me wonder. Why haven't they done like, a pudding zac. Some sort of sweet.
Battlecast is my favourite robot skin line, hopefully we get more in the future
E
I really like Batlecast skin line. Sure it's not the most original skin-line, but it's nice that we have Terminator reference in League.
Also my problem with Batlecast Nasus is - Why would you pick that over Infernal ? I mean Batlecast Nasus is basicaly mecha-Infernal Nasus with less voice lines :/
Hey nickyboi where's the skarner video
Gonan be honest. Xeno does have taste. The phase shift pilot as his profil pic alone says enough.
I like these quick dopamine videos
Woooooo battle cast LETS GOOOOO
So sad to not have been featured in the where Skarner video bit.
Anyway : where scorpion vid ?
Waiiiiit whaaaat? Old urgot had the battle cast skin? Looks goofy lmao. Totally forgot about it.
The comparation with sonic make sense since yorick ate knuckles
Baby wake up Nicky uploa- oh yeah she's gone... BUT FUCK IT NICKY UPLOADED
Day saved
ive always been neutral on the battlecast line but i do have a special place in my heart for creator viktor, even if now it looks kinda ass compared to his other skins, because i was a viktor main all the way back then when this skin came out and it was the most hype ive been since playing league of legends
Love you work
The fnf instrumentals in the bg give me joy
i love these reviews but i have to ask where is the skarner video
Now is the question, when is Battlecast Belveth coming
have u done hextech, would be cool to give the original hextech skins a look and see how they have evolved
I don't disagree with space groove nasus, but I think battlecast version looks neat. He's hot red when he ults. He's got a big ass axe(?)
Cool video but, Where... WAIT IS THAT ME?!?!
