Funny thing is even if Kindred is only a spirit of death, it is said that EVERYTHING even ASol is fated to meet them Plus ASol had a very fun interaction with old Liandri's where he goes "If Bard and Kindred can pull a mask off so can I !"
Well...akshually, isn't there other worlds like In space Where Targon went with their portals? So other Grim Reapers could exist in the space So who's gonna take ASol's soul if he leave Runeterra (probably not Kindred because Runeterra would be no more...this guy has a bunch of hate inside of him for this world)?
@@loop1789 Riot confirmed. EVERYTHING meets Kindred. It's kind of a paradox. That's why they are the most powerful death spirit because everything meets them and everything meets them because they are the most powerful death spirit. Plus I think death isn't bound to a planet especially since ASol mentions Kindred when talking about other celestials (IMO Riot has been doing Kindred dirty in the lord with characters coming back from the dead and there being other death spirits for other regions and overall vague lore. Idk why they did that)

Until LoR ruined that perspective and now Kindred isn't even the only spirit of death and that such spirits of death are limited to runeterra regions instead of being some primordial force
Just went to the Gankplank Login Theme Video From riot after watching this and found your 7 year old comment, No bunch of landlovers can stop the true captain of Bilgewaters!
One thing I do wanna note is that, in my opinion, Ekko's theme is when the music team truly begin to go completely crazy with the music, and even after all these years, I still remember the release material for Ekko due to the incredible song he has
These rewinds really do be hittin' with how creative their champion designs used to be. You never knew what the next one would be and it was always something wildly different and insane in it's own way.
As someone who didn't get into league until 2017/2018 , looking to see these retrospectives is really cool and I love learning about how things were developed. love this stuff nicky, you're awesome
@@legoshirocha It's always fun seeing who everyone's first champ release/loading screen was. My first loading screen was tahm and first release was kindred. Of course I'm biased but I feel like season 5 and 6 was peak league of legends. Champion reveals and the weeks leading up to them felt so exciting and fresh. I distinctly remember being so hyped for kindred and all the little secrets and theories surrounding jhins release as well. I haven't actually played league in like 4 years, I just felt nostalgic and wanted to revisit league's glory days and my early teen years. Sorry for the rant. :)
Basically, rek'sai was a strong duelist, and her ultimate made her a terrifying jungler in pro play, since she was essentially everywhere at once, because she could tp to everywhere so long as she had a tunnel. Think of a tf ult on a xin zhao
don't forget the multi-knockup on her unburrow !! also for pro play, at least back then, she was basically jarvan except with probably the best early game of any jungler.
In season 5, with the Ganplank rework event, GP became my favorite champion of all time. I love all of him, and this video made me remember my first time playing with him. Love this types of videos, hopefully you do more Nicky, and take us throught memory lane.
Kindred has to be one of my favourite champion designs, they and Renata are the reason I stuck with the game The Grim Reaper splitting himself into two so he's never alone again is so perfectly Dark Fairy Tale and I love it
Pyosik really is the GOAT for all Kindred enjoyers out here. Love these compilations, my favorite part is seeing the animated splashart with the champion theme, wish we still had login screens in League, keep up the good work.
Nickys videos are unironically part of why I started league. It came down to 4 factors. Necrits lore tier list absolutely enthralled me. Thescore esports videos that showed the pro scene captivated me. And finally nicky's 2020 and 2021 rewind were videos that I rewatched for absolutely no reason multiple times. The fourth was bc I bought my pc and then broke my wrist and couldn't input enough for shooters lol. Wasd hurt me. Tl;Dr Ty for the great content boi
Absolute chaos. Death everywhere at every second. Kill or be killed mentality. Perfection and skill mandated. Aggression dialed up to such a degree that it wasn't uncommon for both teams to be bot lane at all at once. A complete and utter warrior heaven of a hell. Season Five was my _fetish._
I started playing in S1 and I forgot how much came out during s5. I love these videos because it gives me a flash back moment to when some of these events happened. I remember playing with some of my friends in college during that aram event. You got to chose your icons and who you wanted to "side" with much like the three sisters event. It was so nice, I wish they did more stuff like that.
This was probably my favorite season, ngl. Hot off the last year which was already great, I got my main in Rek'Sai, one of my fav champs to play in Bard was released, burning tides was so much fun and memorable, the Fiora rework came out the day after my birthday, and Kindred having my favorite theme in all of league. It's like the whole season was catered to my tastes. Good times~ Great video Nicky. Brought back some good memories
When the gankplank event was happening, the local riot games branch in my country organised an IRL event in a gaming bar overnight. We were given free stuff like a Gankplank barrel squisy spongy thing, an envelope with the 3 TF cards and a Silver Serpent big coin made out of metal. I remember winning a t-shirt. I don't know if this was done globally but I think that is my most beloved memory with League and I wish we still had things like that today.
love the tf2 references. Bard and Kindred are in my personal top 5 champs (the others being Camille, Thresh and Xayah, with honourable mentions going out to Braum, Lilia and Zac). Great Design, fun and unique gameplay and ults which are absolutely gamechaning. Tahm Kench is also amazing, although its hard to forget his multiple reigns of terror in toplane. Least favourite champ out of this bunch would be Fiora I guess, but its not really a passionate hatred. Between Yone, Irelia and Trynda you kind of grow numb to the pain.
Hell yeah! Season 5 was when I first started, so I've got lots of memories from that time. My first login screen was Bard 💪 As always love the content, and this series is really fun!
As someone who played his first rounds of League in 2016, these rewinds are great to show the in-game history and I love it! Your editing and presenting is really good as well. Looking forward for more. Kindred, even tho I never played her in lol, is probably my favourite of this bunch. Used her a lot in LoR. F*** Fiora. Wish we got more events like you described.
Season rewinds are an amazing concept and you made it entertaining! Big ask/project, but one for every season? I’ve played since post-beta but some current players haven’t been playing since even season 5, but honestly no matter when folks started playing, making a video for each season has the chance to be a nostalgia trip for players such as myself or a gateway to the way League was for newer players. From a viewer standpoint that would be a win-win, but I understand how that would be quite a task for you as the content creator. Anyway, loved the video, love your content, keep it up!
Bro i just discovered your channel some weeks ago and i just want to say i enjoy your content, your edits and your humor, in fact i have watched like dozens of your videos by now. Please keep going and sorry for discovering you so late xd
Considering I joined League in Season 5 during the Gangplank event, it's the reason why he and Miss Fortune are my favorite characters in League. It was such an awesome event and I wish we could have something like this once more, the Void Event being the best time to pull that off. Imagine if you had it where Bel'veth would take over the ARAM map and bam, it's been replaced with a void version of it. That'd be so cool.
I absolutely adore Rek’Sai, idk what it is about her I just think she’s fucking awesome, so seeing you rank her so high is really nice to see! Also her elderwood skin is absolutely gorgeous
It was so nostalgic watching this video when you started playing league in this year (after ekko release i think) Thanks for the great content. Keep it up
The choice of what parts of the champion themes to use for their introduction was overall solid but the choice for Kindred was unfair for using the best part of their theme. The editing in this series continues to be amazing.
Oh hey this is the season started playing (the beginning of a mistake). I joined when bard got released and stopped around the time tahm got released for like a year. Unfortunate that I missed kindred’s release considering they’re my favorite jg rn. Great video!
Kindred is THE design that made me go crazy on league lore and world. Sadly riot is slowing down that part of the game. Amazing video, loved every second.
Rek'Sai and Kalista are probably my favorites from this season to play in game with Gankplank absolutely carrying the lore progression for years before the world was reworked and reestablished.
Bite your tongue you HEATHEN. Nemesis draft is the BEST game mode ever to be released. the fact that there was a meta on counter picking your own team made it HILARIOUS.
The memories from this era, Magikarpusedfly, frost prime, bricky, uberdanger and the non fnaf purple guy. Playing with friends and reaching gold for the first time.
For me Season 5 was the point of no return ,:) . At the time Rek´sai was released, this was the moment when I first started playing League. Now looking back, still playing League from time to time, I really enjoyed the fun moments I had with friends. But League today isn´t the game anymore, I once loved so much.
Kindred receiving love from everywhere nowadays feels good. Riot buffed them, they are receiving another skin and people are now talking about them more and more, and even playing them even more! Kindred was the champion that made me start playing LoL so I do have a lot of love for them
I haven't played league in YEARS except for the occasional Wild Rift games with friends, and lemme tell you, seeing the bilgewater Aram map game me some emotions I never knew existed
Subscribed the moment you said you were a "flex pick that favored anything but ADC" that's exactly me and I've never met anyone that felt the same. I'd rather trade pick order and play literally any champion in any role, than get counterpicked or have a team comp that sucked ass because I picked too soon and couldn't be the one to fix it.
i remember nemesis draft with a certain amount of fondness, strange as that may sound. it introduced me to zac, who i wound up enjoying quite a bit. also, it's the first time i was able to flex some amount of brain power into a meta. i figured out since everyone was just picking boring-ass tanks for their opponents, one could just pick assassins for the enemy team and stomp them because they couldnt do enough damage to burst down more than like, one or two of your team. won nearly every game of the mode i played after that realization.
While never my true, true main during my tenure at league, Kindred will forever remain in my heart as one of my most favorite champions and one of the golden children of league that never got their due process. Their splash art, their theme, the dichotomy of the voice work in their lines, their colors, and just how well their lore ties into the ever-growing lore of Runeterra is so much better than it has any right to be. They were the first duo in league that to me felt like a real duo (since this was prior rework nunu and quinn/valor is...well-) and everything but their gameplay showed me that. They're what got me into the jungle role and I actually enjoyed it because of them. Unfortunately their gameplay fell short for the longest time and only just recently did they see some worlds representation in spite of how little it really was. Their mark system makes counterjungling them so easy and hitting that 7 mark threshhold was always painful and not very rewarding to do. I will always love them dearly, but dear god Riot did them dirty.
This is where it all started for me, Kalista was the first loading screen I ever saw (back when that was a thing), and Rek'Sai was my first champion release. Good times. Also I'm going to have nightmares tonight, because I heard the words "sated" and "devourer" spoken together.
I started playing just in the end of GP event and some months later he became my favorite character to this day. Just hearing the bilgewater theme give me chillssss
Fun fact: The base damage nerfs to his abilities / passive did not kill tank Ekko alone. The real killer was the nerf to passive where it actually gained a cooldown on targets. On release and when tank Ekko was OP, the real problem was that his passive had no CD what so ever and it would slow you while speeding him up. Because of this, he could just keep whacking away with auto attacks, slow you down and speed himself up, slow you down more with Iceborne gauntlet procs etc. You would just never get away or do damage to him. Then if you could, he could just ult away if he had mana. It was so stupid to watch in LCS....
One thing to help prevent Arthritis coming sooner as a Kalista main, is to bind A key to Player Attack so that you can A to Auto then right click to jump.
Funny thing is even if Kindred is only a spirit of death, it is said that EVERYTHING even ASol is fated to meet them
Plus ASol had a very fun interaction with old Liandri's where he goes "If Bard and Kindred can pull a mask off so can I !"
Well...akshually, isn't there other worlds like
In space
Where Targon went with their portals?
So other Grim Reapers could exist in the space
So who's gonna take ASol's soul if he leave Runeterra (probably not Kindred because Runeterra would be no more...this guy has a bunch of hate inside of him for this world)?

I was brand new and Zoe was released two weeks ago since I started. My first rework was Swain and my first champion released was Kai’sa.

9:50 ERM akshually Beryl wanted Ashe to look like Elysia which is a character from HONKAI Impact 3rd not GENSHIN Impact
Took the words right outta my mouth

this video series is really cool, im excited for all to come
A stellar video! Absolutely 13/10
I'm actually super excited for this worlds Kindred skin. Dragonx Kindred sounds neat, I wonder if they would make her an actual dragon.

this made me remember the burning tide, and how cool it was playing during that time
then ive remembered the "events" they do now
Actually shed a tear whenever someone reminds me we're never getting an event like that again
Seeing you say you play reksai on top makes me feel quite happy. And me being a reksai top main XD her early game is disgustingly strong
YES, MY BOY BARD!, IT GOT MORE COMPLIMENTS THAT I EXPECTED, I LOVE IT! (ps: Brasileiro aqui falando, bora q nois ganha o Hexa)
god bless you on the S6 video , that will be literal hell to make
love these videos and enjoy the nostalgia! I DEFINTELY loved Burning TIdes for GP DYING in game as well. Made League interesting again
Kindred is THE design that made me go crazy on league lore and world. Sadly riot is slowing down that part of the game.
Amazing video, loved every second.
18:52 poor guy can't even take the W when it reeks of Ls (lol pun)
I can't wait for these reviews to go full circle and you reach the seasonal reviews bricky did.
Ekko's theme goes hard maaaaan 😩 it's way too good
Just for my birthday what a legend you are ❤️
I love that little detail, when u are talking about Rek'sai, there is a desert theme from monster hunter. U know, because she is sand shark. Love it!
man ur literaly remind me how old league was holy shit cant wait for s6 rewind

This is a trip down memory lane, season 5 was when I started
The memories from this era, Magikarpusedfly, frost prime, bricky, uberdanger and the non fnaf purple guy. Playing with friends and reaching gold for the first time.
This was the season I started playing in so I'm excite!!!
2:20 in the immortal words of uberdanger "Sated Devourer was a real thing that happened. Never Forget."
For me Season 5 was the point of no return ,:) . At the time Rek´sai was released, this was the moment when I first started playing League. Now looking back, still playing League from time to time, I really enjoyed the fun moments I had with friends. But League today isn´t the game anymore, I once loved so much.
Me looking at Tristana: "yeah , I guess her anatomy is a little off----is that a Hilter salute?!?!"
Seeing Nicky's opinions on both GP an Fiora just made me a even bigger fan, hahaha
Ah season 5. The season I started playing. This is so nostalgic for me
The season i started playing in, man. These memories are great to explore.
You forgot the best part of release Ekko. His ult had no mana cost.
you're my fav youtuber atm dude
