I think corporate yorick would be a perfect fit. His e is a bag of cash and his ghouls are minimum wage workers and his ult is his secretary and he has shovel made out of gold and his w is a prison of uncompleted paperwork that holds you into extra hours.
I like the idea of a Janitor Mordekaiser, his weapon is switched to a mop and every time he slams it the effect is water as if he is mopping it up, his ult would be sending the enemy into either the janitors closet or just a hallway that he was busy cleaning
although, the idea of corporate Mord sending you to a board office meeting instead of the shadow realm could also be fantastic. His W could literally be money flying around him too.
I know the skin line has been massively diluted by a tonne of other, less-good releases, but Final Boss Veigar is such an absolute gem. Every single corny reference he makes is just perfect.
A sad case where a skin is fantastic but is watered down by the sheer amount of content coming out that is not even close. Gnar got an arcade skin and I am not lying I did NOT remember that at all.
I want to see corporate Mordekaiser. Imagen his r: He just says something funny like "we need to talk" and when he kills you he says your fired. His just the guy who fires people.
Imagine a skin line for the champions that still have silence in their kit (Fiddle, Cho'Gath, Blitzcrank, Malzahar and Soraka) where they are Librarians. That would be awesome.
As an Urgot main, I was absolutely delighted to see how many other people love Crabgot. It was my first Urgot skin, and even though I have ALL the Urgot skins, I still use Crabgot over the others. My big idea that I had, was to reference Godzilla vs King Kong, and give him someone to fight. Specifically, Giant Ally Wukong. It just seems to fit so well
Tecnhicaly his is a Kaiju, one of many giant monsters that the Mecha Skins were made to confront. Its the same universe, just sad we dont get more Kaijus
Dragon Trainer Heimerdinger reimagines the champ in such a cool way with tons of personality in his animations and voice lines, it's without a doubt my favourite skin in the game. Also dragons are cute.
It’s probably not a top ten skin, but I absolutely adore Astronautilus. His effects look so cool with the astronaut theming, and the main model looks really cool as well. The best part, though, is that instead of his normal walk he takes big leaps, which is so charming. I love that skin so much.
Fun fact about Bee Keeper Singed: In korea the name Bee Keeper Singed looked so similar to Star Guardian in Korean Bee keeper Singed(벌 수호자 신지드) Star guardian(별 수호자) most of us thought it was Star Guardian Singes and bought the skin with excitement however it was actually a whole different skin lol.
Nah dude. It was more of a pun similar to what they did to baker pantheon (빵테온). No one thought it was actually star guardian and bought the skin Source: I am Korean and I live in Korea
I had literally just yesterday been sketching up concepts for a corporate skinline. The ideas I had were a Call-Center Draven, where his axes were replaced with giant phones, IT Guy Singed where his bottle of gas was replaced with a giant server, Door-to-Door salesman Shaco, who has managed to smash Mundo Corp.'s knife sales record by using his clone to cover more ground (which is made more impressive by the fact that Mundo Corp. does not sell knives), and Secretary Vex which would replace her long hoodie sleeves with giant acrylic nails.
I want a full corporate skin line, made entirely of absolute madness picks, SO BAD. Just the mental image of Hecarim wearing a suit and standing in an elevator alone is hysterical to me.
Dark star jarvan is one of my favorite skins just because it is soooooooo much better than any other skin he has. Honorable mention worthy just for that reason
I really want nautilus to have a pool party skin JUST so they can go all out with the scooby doo " old diver " costume (also I wish you put renektoy or any of the odyssey skins in honorable mentions)
Ik it's expected, but Spirit Blossom Ahri is truly the peak skin for her. The most beautiful and flowy animation, perfect and pretty particles and the lore behind it just makes so much sense and makes her interesting. AND TURNS INTO A LIL FOX. That's one of the best for sure
It's probably not actually exceptional but it is my personal favourite, is Dark Star Cho'Gath. Not only the story of it being a make a wish skin, its got an epic evolving model based on R stacks, and is just Cho's fantasy cranked to 11, its so good .
I love that skin so much, still working to get it since I wasn't playing when it first came out. Cho'Gath fits the Dark Star theming perfectly and its execution is fantastic.
Same dude. I already got it and its so good. But like I feel like Rito are thinking of making Dark Star his base skin. At which point I am salivating to no end as of what they'd upgrade the Dark Star skin in that case. A man can dream
NEVER has a skin felt SO DAMN comfortable, fluid and satifying to play as or against Spirit Blossom Ahri. She's also the best Ahri has ever looked and OH MY GOD THAT SPLASH ART!!
While you're entitled to that opinion, I disagree. I agree that Dark Cosmic Jhin has great visuals and particle effects, much like Nickyboi says small points of his animations don't gell with me like him not twirling for the fourth shot and him using his hands to fire shots during his ult. For those reasons alone I stick to Blood Moon for Jhin.
Nightmare tryndamere is a pretty underrated skin. It just fits tryndamere's old model and animations so well and also enhances his theme by being this terrifying unkillable nightmare who will absolutely murder you.
One of my favourite skins is PsyOps Sona, i just think it does the most with Sona's animations, model and abilities, it feels to me like one of the best legendaries ever as it succesfully reimagines Sona into a deranged telequinetic villain
I may be a bit biased cuz of Karp Krew nostalgia, but Snow Day Bard has a special place in my heart. From particles, to sound, to overall vibe, this skin perfectly captures the spirit of winter for me and will never be anything less than majestic.
For me i think final boss veigar would take my number 1 spot. for how old it is and how well the animations and concept have held up over the years, i still feel like this is veigar's best skin to this day.
finally someone mentioned this skin, my favourite part of this skin is that when veigar got his stacks from his Q, there will be small effect of +ap power with the small staff on it
I always loved Astronautilus. i'm a little biased since Naut was the first champ I ever really mained, but the wordplay and visual design on that skin kicks ass.
for me : Cosmic Jhin is top tear, he looks like a space saint, it's amazing BUT my favorite skin is Omega Squad Teemo. It turn a champion that's just a pligon ball witha hat with a SINGLE ANIMATION ON HIS ENTIRE KIT into a badass soldier with cool animations and sound effects and voice lines
omega squad teemo is whata modern teemo should actually look like according to his personality and role in lore. like, i get the cute cuddly esthetic they gave him being a way to whiplash you, like the tiny cute one is a serial killer who uses poison. omega squad just makes a more realistic teemo
@TheShadynorwegian tru and overall ppl were disappointed because Lissandra deserved that legendary skin. Teemo getting it came out of the blue and noone asked for it ...
I think coven eve has one of the most beautiful splashes in the whole game. Also, the sound design, voice lines, VFX, and so much more are just phenomenal. It also fits Evelynn’s base lore in a way too. Still a demon, Still a horny bait, but with a a fresh spin. I can barely play eve without this skin, it just feels wrong. I think it could’ve used some love here.
Iirc the Mecha shares the same universe with the Kaijuu skins. But hey it'll be cool if the mecha actually based on the kaiju, kinda like Evangelion type of shit
Perseus Pantheon has been my favourite skin in the game since before the rework, just because of the aesthetic. It's nice to see someone else appreciate it too
The skin line that I will always lament the loss of is Sewn Chaos. Orianna is one of my favorite champions to play mid and I still run Sewn Chaos over every other skin (Gothic maybe). I was so hyped for Sewn Chaos Amumu and Blitz but then they scrapped the whole skin line as an idea entirely. Considering we got Gwen, that is a huge opportunity loss. So I'd say Sewn Chaos Ori as an honorable mention. Her ball is a pin cushion and she looks like Sally and coraline's other world mother combined in designs.
8:49 me and my friends always talk about a skin concept for Zac, where he’s the creation of Mundo, trying to achieve the perfect Cryptocurrency. The currency absolutely tanks, fails, and sucks entirely. So mundo in a fitty rage, throws his coffee at the machine, materializing the currency, creating Corporate Zac. A living Currency that runs around in a suit.
@@aelyuki i feel like the suit should be necessary for visual cohesion with the rest of the line. But the fact that it could also work WITHOUT the suit means that the skin is conceptually sound. I should try to make a concep sheet for it.
Battlecast Skarner. Turning him from a peaceful rock scorpion into a hellbent murder tank. The dragging of the buzzsaws on the autos, the grappling hook tail, the treads for legs. Hopefully they don't fuck it up with Skarner's rework
I think project mordekaiser is just way too high quality to not have here. The insane quality of that skin was revolutionary. Even if you don't like morde, the whole world they built in the ultimate is just.... nutty
My favorite skin by far is PROJECT: MORDEKAISER. Even though the project line is pretty exhausted at this point, Mord is the absolute pinnacle and I cannot be convinced otherwise.
Really? Imo PROJECT: Mord was kind of a dud Like the animations are nice (especially the pop up add teemo one lmao) and I like the surging affect when he gets someone’s stats from ult, but overall the splash and model as is Look more like an autobot from transformers than something from project
blood moon aatrox , nightbringer lee sin , dark star malphite , almost all of mecha kingdoms , mecha malphite , dark star jarvan iv , cosmic defender xin zhoa all of these have great splash arts but shit ingame model compared to the splash
Final Boss veigar is amazing as well, going from the effects to the voicelines making a lot of references to video games universe, he got some terrifying yet threatening voicelines as well oh and the konami code as a recall ? this skin is a banger, this skin would be veigar after achieving a huge amount of power to release it on Runeterra, this skin made veigar look badass and threatening without making fun of him or making him cute
Omega squad teemo just hits so much different to me, it's just so perfect. The animations are so smooth, the R sounds is incredible, the PTSD is MULTIPLIED. Hell even his dance he's doing one handed pull ups on his gun. I love him.
Alright, I'm going to say "Thank You" for bringing up the information about the RP situation here in Poland, we are literally FUCKED by this (and our government) so every-single-one shout out to this situation is really appreciated. Love you man Btw, great vid GIMME MORE I CRAVE THEM
I agree with some of these skins and as a Jhin main I super agree with what you said there. But I think my favorite skin is actually Odyssey Kayn from the visuals, to the story, to the voice lines. I’m not as big a fan of some of the joke skins and while I also do immensely love Star Guardian Xayah and Rakan. Odyssey Kayn is just TOO GOOD! I hope in the future Riot makes more legendary skins for the bad guys since I feel it adds so much to their story especially since I think Kayn and Rhaast’s dynamic works so much better in the Odyssey version. I also very much love Hextech Swain it’s simple but I adore it.
@@trainerblack9743 i just love the blood/snow moon theme and lore. and the splash arts are some of the best in the game. only arcana can compete when it comes to spash arts. i mean look at blood moon akali splash
@@falaflani4831 Fair I mean even I can't deny loving like Bloodmoon Jhin but still Odyssey is a skinline I really love I am a big fan of like Guardians of the Galaxy and I think Legendary skins are at their best when allowed to be the villain. I can't help but love Kayn's voice with that skin and heck maybe I'm weird, but I love Kayn's voice so much more in that skin over Rhaast. I personally just feel it expands on that one Swain line "A child who knew nothing but hate, confuses it for love" I love how Kayn just goes crazy and obsesses over being worshipped and adored but at the same time seems to miss Rhaast because that was the only 'friend' he had. Just another person trying to use him. Maybe I am reading it wrong but GOD I JUST LOVE ODYSSEY I WISH THEY'D CONTINUE IT! In a non-lazy I mean.
@@trainerblack9743 I love odyssey but blood/snow moon has everything. Lore, edge, art, style, fanservice. When snow moon skins dropped and their was no event I was so pissed. And giving cait snow moon instead of aphelios was a low blow despite it being one of if not the best cait skin (pp cait best for obvious reasons)
To me, the best skin riot has ever made is Mecha Kingdoms Jax. Mecha Kingdoms Jax: -Has amazing effects and animation -Amazing new voice lines from the same voice actor -Has a very awesome dance, recall and his taunt has scoreboard that every time he gets a kill, the scoreboard gives him point -Lastly, a very wholesome reference to Joe if you are using Mecha Kingdoms Jax and you face-off against someone using Jaximus "Kid, you're a true warrior" That line is so wholesome and sad at the same time
I stand by the idea that Odyssey Kayn is probably the best Legendary Skin in the game in my opinion. Amazing concept, practically 3 skins in one, all with unique and engaging voice lines, from a skin line that pops off.
Idk personally I think the colors look so goofy, and the base splash art is yet to be outdone by any of his skins, feels like they always cheap out on his splasharts, now the lines, the lines are heavenly, his and Raahst dynamic is so fun and somewhat endearing.
My favorite skin is Ghostbride Morgana she really fits so well in the ghostbride theme and it was inspire by La Llorona, her abilities is kinda similar to ruined karma's abilities but with a blue palette and her recall is my favorite the scream before she warp to based is really gives me the creepy vibes and her old version is that she has a giant dress but still good from all of her skins
8:40 I played this video in the background like one week before riot announced this to be a real thing. and i was like "wait a minute ive seen this somewhere already", literally believed it was deja vu
Don't think Sion is ever getting a Kaiju skin as the Mecha skinline is already made to fight them, wouldn't make sense for him to be on both sides. I really hope they expand on the monsters soon tho.
I will forever believe that project mordekaiser is not only his best skin, but possibly the best skin in league period. No other skin plays off the champions archetype this well. The skin screams unstoppable tyrant, one who isnt even made of flesh. His ult makes him look beefier, his Q feels massive, the animations are beautiful, his ult has a whole freaking city in it. I love the raindrops from his passive and ult, it sells the aesthetic of an apocalyptic cyber world. All of that without mentioning the sound effects. Last hitting feels insanely good. Yes projekt skins are getting old, but this is not only the best projekt skin, but also my favorite skin in the game.
Now hear me out, you say Asol isn’t getting many more skins but he’s confirmed to be the embodiment of “the first star” from star guardians so he’s confirmed getting AT LEAST a legendary skin
Giant enemy crabgot, is awesome and what got me into urgot. The fact it went from the worst skin in the game to the best just shows how well made it was. The quality is up there with epic skins and still better most skins done in 2022.
Its not really a skin, but one of my favourites is pink chroma Zac. Just basic Zac, but pink. I don't know how to describe it, but just changing his color does a LOT. I honestly prefer to play with this chroma than any other skin that Zac has
Battle Queen Katarina is actually a really, really amazing skin. Extremely smooth, great new VO (that still sounds like Kat) and the weapon changes are sick. It's so good that I hardly ever use any of her other skins anymore. IMO as good as Corporate Mundo, which is another one of my favorites.
I loved the idea of Corporate mundo but in a world of finance there should absolutely be Bankplank, the OG moneymaker himself as either mundo's mentor who left him the company or a rival company trying to one up mundo's freak show of a company.
For me, even with the reworked Spirit Guard Udyr, Elementalist Lux STILL seems like the most "ultimate" ultimate skin. Like, not only is it basically 10 Legendary skins in one, but also the fact that you not only get to pick how you wanna look TWICE in a game, you also get to mix and match different elements that have different outcomes, is what makes it so damn good. No other ultimate skin comes close. DJ Sona comes second because it has fucking custom music for each form. Reworked Spirit Guard Udyr is sick, but again... It doesn't feel like it's that much special. It's a legendary skin that becomes really cool once you level a stance to max, and also has some other stuff. I feel like choosing what element you want to be, is way too cool of a functionality, for any other ultimate skin to come close. Gun Goddess Miss Fortune tried to replicate it, but it was just lame, since it only has 4 forms. Oh and Pulsefire Ezreal's ultimate thing is a thing that some champions' base skins do now, and Seraphine's skin is just... It's just 3 legendary skins... I don't care if you have to do some busy work to get them going, with quests or whatever, the ultimate facor of the ultimate skin, should be some special functionality in game. The skin just doesn't have that. Like, at all.
Dragon Trainer Tristana is easily my favorite skin in League. I don't even play Trist, but that skin is honestly amazing. The voicelines, animation, the login theme and even the mini trailer that they made for the skin are just all wonderful!
Love that Neeko was here. Gotta say that I think surprise party fiddlesticks is my most favourite skin. It's just too good and fitting for the jumpscare champion
I like to imagine that when you call costumer service at Mundo's corporation you get Kled who talks your ear off for like half an hour only to reveal he can't help with your problem and asks you to hold while he puts you through to someone else, then finally after like 2 hours of Noxian death metal for hold music you get on the line with Skarl.
I guess what makes both of them great is how they change Jhin 100, and although his concept is still madman killer, they both manage to transport him from one universe to the next, I'd say the trap and ult sounds of High Noon are superior tho
I just love the way corporate mundo walks around with his phone and suitcase and talks about making budget cuts to get extra vacasion so I guess its my fav skin
The REAL question about the Kaiju skinline (Other than there being only 1) is why aren't they fighting the mecha skins. *WHERE'S MY GOD DAMN PACIFIC RIM, RIOT!*
I just love everything about sentinel garves. Its my favorite skin of all time. Literally made me a garves main afther it came out and i fell in love with the whole champ. The quality OMG. This is what a legendary skin should do. Reimagine the gun and made it look 10 times better. The effects on the moves and the aa has so mutch style to it (and aa-ing feals amazing unlike poolparty garves). And the best part about the whole skin is the woice lines. It makes me smile every time when this brailet insults viego in a funny and pg way. This skin made me put back voice lines just to hear his dumbo while hes kicking ass and spiting oneliners. Sadly the coromas are not that grate and at the time I didnt hade the budget to buy the skin when the event croma was awailable. If you hade the slightest tought to play garves, go to skin spotlights watch the skin and the interactions with other champions, than buy that shit and come and join me at the grave maining. PS.: And ofcorse oddüsey kayn is everything i wanted in that skin line and i want more of that.
Corporate Mundo goes so hard because it commits to the joke It doesn't take the easiest path, it doesn't go with the most obvious joke path, neither does it make everything about the joke It uses everything in it's arsenal to make the joke work and adds just enough to make it marvelous
I think Battle Queen Katarina is one of the best skins in the game and is very much worth the 1820 RP. The skin having amazing voice lines and voice acting for the character compared to the boring voice lines of the base skin. And the effects of the daggers and how they change design for every 3 takedowns is enough for the skin to make it into the top 5. (this may be a little bias bc i am a kat main) (i literally use this skin when i play her)
Honestly kinda wish final boss veigar atleast got an honorable mention, at the time it came out it was very unique, added a SHIT TON of new dialogue, cool particles, it was basically what happened with surprise party fiddles. Well when the rework for fidds happened.
How is Gentleman Cho'Gath not in this list? It's almost ancient, unique voice lines, completely reimagines the character and is on par with Corporate Mundo imo. Great video though Nic ❤️
Some of my favorite skins either double down on the aesthetic design for the skin line (Project: Renekton, Sentinel Graves, Storm Dragon ASol, Prestige Ascended Pantheon, etc) or are just fun and make me smile (Bee'Maw, Bard Bard, Def not Udyr, Corporate Mundo, Moo Cow Alistar, etc). tho Pool Party Rek'sai has a special place in my heart as a Rek'sai main. I just love the jet ski nyooooooooom
Ok from the star guardians star guardian taliyah is just ugh chef kiss , it makes an already fun and cute champion into something that it still feels like her but in a different direction making her a manga fan girl that also is focused on her future potential is just such a nice way to interpret her character into a human universe
Battle academia Caitlyn is the most beautiful legendary skin ever. Even rank 1 challenger PantsAreDragon said that . And is the only skin who has an anime animation on his ultimate.
Imagine not knowing Nunu bot is an homage to an old video series about nunu bot. It's really awesome that old Riot would hype content creators back in the day.
Imagine if illaoi had a dunk master skin dunking her ball every W, or even... a lucha libre teacher skin where her idol is a doll she drags around and slam on the floor everytime
I wasnt a star guardian fan, thought the magical girl thing was weird. I dont really watch magical girl anime either. Favourite champ is Jinx, the crazy and her character design is what got me. Looked at her star guardian skin for a bit, grew on me. Got it for free in the hex chests. Saw the mythic skin for her and went nuts. Mythic SG Jinx is my favourite skin.
I think corporate yorick would be a perfect fit. His e is a bag of cash and his ghouls are minimum wage workers and his ult is his secretary and he has shovel made out of gold and his w is a prison of uncompleted paperwork that holds you into extra hours.
Very cool idea bro ;)
His shovel is a folded tripod with a plastic board, featuring the monthly profit margins, of course.
oooh it would be cool if he was like a rival corporation competing with mundo for profit
Good idea
Cool idea but i think itd be a bit too ironic if Riot Games made this a skin
I don't play Illaoi but I really wanna see a corporate Illaoi with those Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube Guys as the Tentacles
genius
Car saleswoman illaoi
She’d also be PERFECT for another dunk master skin
CAR DEALERSHIP ILLAOI
I need that
Receptionist Mordekaiser:
The death realm is the waiting room and all the walls turn into rows of desks and chairs
Love this idea
I think human resources would make a better joke, but a giant waiting line in death realm is also so funny
With huge piles of administrative papers as far as the eyes can see
Death realm, but instead of a desolate wasteland of despair, it's office cubicles and desks as far as he eye can see
just imagining the voice of mordekaiser saying this makes it hilarious
I like the idea of a Janitor Mordekaiser, his weapon is switched to a mop and every time he slams it the effect is water as if he is mopping it up, his ult would be sending the enemy into either the janitors closet or just a hallway that he was busy cleaning
Yeah, it's really fit him especially with yellow towel.
There is a Leoric skin for heroes of the storm that I think is exactly what you are looking for.
although, the idea of corporate Mord sending you to a board office meeting instead of the shadow realm could also be fantastic. His W could literally be money flying around him too.
I think they could add a gardener mordekaiser that slams you with a shovel and his ult is a field with flowers
Two years later... We got Janitor Thresh and it's honestly fire
I know the skin line has been massively diluted by a tonne of other, less-good releases, but Final Boss Veigar is such an absolute gem. Every single corny reference he makes is just perfect.
Y also missed Final Boss Veigar on the list
Yes.

Imagine a skin line for the champions that still have silence in their kit (Fiddle, Cho'Gath, Blitzcrank, Malzahar and Soraka) where they are Librarians. That would be awesome.
I need Malzahar to get the legendary version of that skin because he needs new voice lines already. It's been a decade and a half man
Gentleman Cho'Gath has a voice line when he uses his w where he basically just yells "QUIET" like a very angry overly sophisticated librarian

I may be a bit biased cuz of Karp Krew nostalgia, but Snow Day Bard has a special place in my heart. From particles, to sound, to overall vibe, this skin perfectly captures the spirit of winter for me and will never be anything less than majestic.
For me i think final boss veigar would take my number 1 spot. for how old it is and how well the animations and concept have held up over the years, i still feel like this is veigar's best skin to this day.
The mushroom one has a better recall tho
@@codebracker once you play a skin for like 5 times you dont care about the recall anymore and just look at the shop or map
finally someone mentioned this skin, my favourite part of this skin is that when veigar got his stacks from his Q, there will be small effect of +ap power with the small staff on it
I always loved Astronautilus. i'm a little biased since Naut was the first champ I ever really mained, but the wordplay and visual design on that skin kicks ass.

oh boy nicky didn’t know that lawyer bird man was going to happen
for me : Cosmic Jhin is top tear, he looks like a space saint, it's amazing
BUT
my favorite skin is Omega Squad Teemo. It turn a champion that's just a pligon ball witha hat with a SINGLE ANIMATION ON HIS ENTIRE KIT into a badass soldier with cool animations and sound effects and voice lines
Yeah but that's kind of a low bar considering his base model is as old as zillean
omega squad teemo is whata modern teemo should actually look like according to his personality and role in lore. like, i get the cute cuddly esthetic they gave him being a way to whiplash you, like the tiny cute one is a serial killer who uses poison. omega squad just makes a more realistic teemo
@TheShadynorwegian tru and overall ppl were disappointed because Lissandra deserved that legendary skin. Teemo getting it came out of the blue and noone asked for it ...
I think coven eve has one of the most beautiful splashes in the whole game. Also, the sound design, voice lines, VFX, and so much more are just phenomenal. It also fits Evelynn’s base lore in a way too. Still a demon, Still a horny bait, but with a a fresh spin. I can barely play eve without this skin, it just feels wrong. I think it could’ve used some love here.
coven eve splash really is so elegant it's incredibly. elderwood hecarim also has really beautiful splash art.
I cant play eve with this skin lol, dont get me wrong its an amazing skin, but in changing the animations they made eve feel heavy and clunky
For a kaiju skin, I would love to see Aurelion Sol as some enormous serpentine creature like SCP-3000, or something along those lines
I don't care what thematic that is given. I want fleshy, eldritch, void-like, evil ASol
Well his mecha skin is already an anti-kaiju weapon
Iirc the Mecha shares the same universe with the Kaijuu skins. But hey it'll be cool if the mecha actually based on the kaiju, kinda like Evangelion type of shit
Perseus Pantheon has been my favourite skin in the game since before the rework, just because of the aesthetic. It's nice to see someone else appreciate it too
9:10 I can just imagine Tahm Kench being part of the skinline, in a shirt, with silly little glasses, suspenders and a funky little fancy hat
Tahm Kench would be the head of the Marketing Department.
@@KhaosAdmiral Tahm Kench would make an amazing car salesman.
@@llmtxll3654 I'd believe it, Tahm's voice is so smooth that he absolutely could sell me anything he wanted.
The skin line that I will always lament the loss of is Sewn Chaos. Orianna is one of my favorite champions to play mid and I still run Sewn Chaos over every other skin (Gothic maybe). I was so hyped for Sewn Chaos Amumu and Blitz but then they scrapped the whole skin line as an idea entirely. Considering we got Gwen, that is a huge opportunity loss. So I'd say Sewn Chaos Ori as an honorable mention. Her ball is a pin cushion and she looks like Sally and coraline's other world mother combined in designs.
8:49 me and my friends always talk about a skin concept for Zac, where he’s the creation of Mundo, trying to achieve the perfect Cryptocurrency. The currency absolutely tanks, fails, and sucks entirely. So mundo in a fitty rage, throws his coffee at the machine, materializing the currency, creating Corporate Zac. A living Currency that runs around in a suit.
Don’t need the suit, the idea of a blob of coffee with unstable cryptocurrency inside and his passive makes him lose stocks shares would be hilarious
@@aelyuki i feel like the suit should be necessary for visual cohesion with the rest of the line. But the fact that it could also work WITHOUT the suit means that the skin is conceptually sound. I should try to make a concep sheet for it.
When Zac walks it sounds like coins jingling
Battlecast Skarner. Turning him from a peaceful rock scorpion into a hellbent murder tank. The dragging of the buzzsaws on the autos, the grappling hook tail, the treads for legs. Hopefully they don't fuck it up with Skarner's rework
I feel Elderwood Ornn should've gotten some love here. The effects, the sounds, how reimagined he was, and all the chromas are absolute bangers
I think project mordekaiser is just way too high quality to not have here. The insane quality of that skin was revolutionary. Even if you don't like morde, the whole world they built in the ultimate is just.... nutty
My favorite skin by far is PROJECT: MORDEKAISER. Even though the project line is pretty exhausted at this point, Mord is the absolute pinnacle and I cannot be convinced otherwise.
Hey, another project mord enthusiast
sure, but in comparison with the truly good ones, morde feels just boring
I love this skin but I wish they changed his animations more, it's all basically the same but a bit more robotic
I prefer project renekton
I feel like the mordekaiser animations are a bit too over the top
Really? Imo PROJECT: Mord was kind of a dud
Like the animations are nice (especially the pop up add teemo one lmao) and I like the surging affect when he gets someone’s stats from ult, but overall the splash and model as is Look more like an autobot from transformers than something from project
3:20 "best azir's skin" aged like fine wine
not a skin, but in terms of splash art, I can't think of any skin that has splash art more beautiful than Blacksmith Poppy, the detail is amazing.
blood moon aatrox , nightbringer lee sin , dark star malphite , almost all of mecha kingdoms , mecha malphite , dark star jarvan iv , cosmic defender xin zhoa all of these have great splash arts but shit ingame model compared to the splash
Hard agree, blacksmith poppy splash is incredible
Old Blood Moon Akali is still my favorite splashart
Final Boss veigar is amazing as well, going from the effects to the voicelines making a lot of references to video games universe, he got some terrifying yet threatening voicelines as well oh and the konami code as a recall ? this skin is a banger, this skin would be veigar after achieving a huge amount of power to release it on Runeterra, this skin made veigar look badass and threatening without making fun of him or making him cute
5:30 Pool party Taliyah is indeed phenominal, my only gripe however is that her ultimate doesn't spawn a wall of pool noodles
Omega squad teemo just hits so much different to me, it's just so perfect. The animations are so smooth, the R sounds is incredible, the PTSD is MULTIPLIED. Hell even his dance he's doing one handed pull ups on his gun. I love him.
Alright, I'm going to say "Thank You" for bringing up the information about the RP situation here in Poland, we are literally FUCKED by this (and our government) so every-single-one shout out to this situation is really appreciated. Love you man
Btw, great vid GIMME MORE I CRAVE THEM
Welcome! Fellow polish person!
This might be my favorite TH-cam Channel to watch, bro the edits are amazing, he´s just got it.
I agree with some of these skins and as a Jhin main I super agree with what you said there. But I think my favorite skin is actually Odyssey Kayn from the visuals, to the story, to the voice lines. I’m not as big a fan of some of the joke skins and while I also do immensely love Star Guardian Xayah and Rakan. Odyssey Kayn is just TOO GOOD! I hope in the future Riot makes more legendary skins for the bad guys since I feel it adds so much to their story especially since I think Kayn and Rhaast’s dynamic works so much better in the Odyssey version. I also very much love Hextech Swain it’s simple but I adore it.
Snow moon better
@@falaflani4831 maybe but I like the voices on Odyssey and I like the scythe.
@@trainerblack9743 i just love the blood/snow moon theme and lore. and the splash arts are some of the best in the game. only arcana can compete when it comes to spash arts. i mean look at blood moon akali splash
@@falaflani4831 Fair I mean even I can't deny loving like Bloodmoon Jhin but still Odyssey is a skinline I really love I am a big fan of like Guardians of the Galaxy and I think Legendary skins are at their best when allowed to be the villain. I can't help but love Kayn's voice with that skin and heck maybe I'm weird, but I love Kayn's voice so much more in that skin over Rhaast. I personally just feel it expands on that one Swain line "A child who knew nothing but hate, confuses it for love" I love how Kayn just goes crazy and obsesses over being worshipped and adored but at the same time seems to miss Rhaast because that was the only 'friend' he had. Just another person trying to use him. Maybe I am reading it wrong but GOD I JUST LOVE ODYSSEY I WISH THEY'D CONTINUE IT! In a non-lazy I mean.
@@trainerblack9743 I love odyssey but blood/snow moon has everything. Lore, edge, art, style, fanservice. When snow moon skins dropped and their was no event I was so pissed. And giving cait snow moon instead of aphelios was a low blow despite it being one of if not the best cait skin (pp cait best for obvious reasons)
To me, the best skin riot has ever made is Mecha Kingdoms Jax.
Mecha Kingdoms Jax:
-Has amazing effects and animation
-Amazing new voice lines from the same voice actor
-Has a very awesome dance, recall and his taunt has scoreboard that every time he gets a kill, the scoreboard gives him point
-Lastly, a very wholesome reference to Joe if you are using Mecha Kingdoms Jax and you face-off against someone using Jaximus
"Kid, you're a true warrior" That line is so wholesome and sad at the same time
I stand by the idea that Odyssey Kayn is probably the best Legendary Skin in the game in my opinion.
Amazing concept, practically 3 skins in one, all with unique and engaging voice lines, from a skin line that pops off.
i recently listened to his voicelines again and woweeee, it really is an 20/10 skin
I preach this, it was well worth the wait since it was only his 2nd skin
bro literally has an ultimate skin for the price of a legendary skin
A good Legendary skin? Yes
The best Legendary skin? No.
Idk personally I think the colors look so goofy, and the base splash art is yet to be outdone by any of his skins, feels like they always cheap out on his splasharts, now the lines, the lines are heavenly, his and Raahst dynamic is so fun and somewhat endearing.
Riot is yet to make a skin that feels as satisfying as Mecha KhaZix’s unevolved Q animation
i only have one skin i love that is final boss veigar, the voice and reference, the effects and animations is just perfect
My favorite skin is Ghostbride Morgana she really fits so well in the ghostbride theme and it was inspire by La Llorona, her abilities is kinda similar to ruined karma's abilities but with a blue palette and her recall is my favorite the scream before she warp to based is really gives me the creepy vibes and her old version is that she has a giant dress but still good from all of her skins
Considering that Human Resources are litterally DEMONS, I feel that Fiddlesticks in that role is pretty fitting
i think it'd be funny for kindred to be HR, what with their very literal management of the human resource
8:40 I played this video in the background like one week before riot announced this to be a real thing. and i was like "wait a minute ive seen this somewhere already", literally believed it was deja vu
i came here to comment this lol
Sweeper rammus throws himself into the goal when he recalls. 10/10 skin
2 years later and we still don't have more kaiju skins
2:33 its not true i think, bcz god king darius is already released before that mlbb hero came out
Don't think Sion is ever getting a Kaiju skin as the Mecha skinline is already made to fight them, wouldn't make sense for him to be on both sides. I really hope they expand on the monsters soon tho.
I literally just so happened to search up nickyboi to watch some old videos and I saw this video, what funny timing
I will forever believe that project mordekaiser is not only his best skin, but possibly the best skin in league period. No other skin plays off the champions archetype this well.
The skin screams unstoppable tyrant, one who isnt even made of flesh. His ult makes him look beefier, his Q feels massive, the animations are beautiful, his ult has a whole freaking city in it. I love the raindrops from his passive and ult, it sells the aesthetic of an apocalyptic cyber world. All of that without mentioning the sound effects. Last hitting feels insanely good.
Yes projekt skins are getting old, but this is not only the best projekt skin, but also my favorite skin in the game.
Now hear me out, you say Asol isn’t getting many more skins but he’s confirmed to be the embodiment of “the first star” from star guardians so he’s confirmed getting AT LEAST a legendary skin
9:56 Arashi no Saxophone hits so fucking hard every damn time
12:40
nicky: they made ao shin real
cc: they made autism real
Giant enemy crabgot, is awesome and what got me into urgot.
The fact it went from the worst skin in the game to the best just shows how well made it was. The quality is up there with epic skins and still better most skins done in 2022.
Its not really a skin, but one of my favourites is pink chroma Zac. Just basic Zac, but pink. I don't know how to describe it, but just changing his color does a LOT. I honestly prefer to play with this chroma than any other skin that Zac has
Pink Chroma Zac is looked a lot more powerful than other skin.
he looks like bubblegum :D
Janitor fiddlesticks for the corporate skin line with a mop as it's right hand and a bucket stuck on its leg or as a face might be a good idea.
Battle Queen Katarina is actually a really, really amazing skin. Extremely smooth, great new VO (that still sounds like Kat) and the weapon changes are sick. It's so good that I hardly ever use any of her other skins anymore. IMO as good as Corporate Mundo, which is another one of my favorites.
I loved the idea of Corporate mundo but in a world of finance there should absolutely be Bankplank, the OG moneymaker himself as either mundo's mentor who left him the company or a rival company trying to one up mundo's freak show of a company.
For me, even with the reworked Spirit Guard Udyr, Elementalist Lux STILL seems like the most "ultimate" ultimate skin. Like, not only is it basically 10 Legendary skins in one, but also the fact that you not only get to pick how you wanna look TWICE in a game, you also get to mix and match different elements that have different outcomes, is what makes it so damn good. No other ultimate skin comes close. DJ Sona comes second because it has fucking custom music for each form. Reworked Spirit Guard Udyr is sick, but again... It doesn't feel like it's that much special. It's a legendary skin that becomes really cool once you level a stance to max, and also has some other stuff. I feel like choosing what element you want to be, is way too cool of a functionality, for any other ultimate skin to come close. Gun Goddess Miss Fortune tried to replicate it, but it was just lame, since it only has 4 forms. Oh and Pulsefire Ezreal's ultimate thing is a thing that some champions' base skins do now, and Seraphine's skin is just... It's just 3 legendary skins... I don't care if you have to do some busy work to get them going, with quests or whatever, the ultimate facor of the ultimate skin, should be some special functionality in game. The skin just doesn't have that. Like, at all.
Dragon Trainer Tristana is easily my favorite skin in League. I don't even play Trist, but that skin is honestly amazing. The voicelines, animation, the login theme and even the mini trailer that they made for the skin are just all wonderful!
I personally think Coven Morgana is one of the best designed skins, the splash art alone is phenomenal
Blacksmith Poppy has phenomenal splash art too, especially for when it was made. Super underrrated imo.
Love that Neeko was here. Gotta say that I think surprise party fiddlesticks is my most favourite skin. It's just too good and fitting for the jumpscare champion
hohoho nicky even if pool party Renekton was supposed to be in the fun category the amount of thirst I see from that skin is just 😃
I like to imagine that when you call costumer service at Mundo's corporation you get Kled who talks your ear off for like half an hour only to reveal he can't help with your problem and asks you to hold while he puts you through to someone else, then finally after like 2 hours of Noxian death metal for hold music you get on the line with Skarl.
This might be a bit of a strange opinion but I’ve always heavily favored High Noon Jhin over dark cosmic
I guess what makes both of them great is how they change Jhin 100, and although his concept is still madman killer, they both manage to transport him from one universe to the next, I'd say the trap and ult sounds of High Noon are superior tho
I just love the way corporate mundo walks around with his phone and suitcase and talks about making budget cuts to get extra vacasion so I guess its my fav skin
Loch Ness Chogath should be visually updated to a Kajiu like Crabgot. Deep Sea Kog too
The REAL question about the Kaiju skinline (Other than there being only 1) is why aren't they fighting the mecha skins.
*WHERE'S MY GOD DAMN PACIFIC RIM, RIOT!*
I just love everything about sentinel garves. Its my favorite skin of all time. Literally made me a garves main afther it came out and i fell in love with the whole champ. The quality OMG. This is what a legendary skin should do. Reimagine the gun and made it look 10 times better. The effects on the moves and the aa has so mutch style to it (and aa-ing feals amazing unlike poolparty garves). And the best part about the whole skin is the woice lines. It makes me smile every time when this brailet insults viego in a funny and pg way. This skin made me put back voice lines just to hear his dumbo while hes kicking ass and spiting oneliners. Sadly the coromas are not that grate and at the time I didnt hade the budget to buy the skin when the event croma was awailable. If you hade the slightest tought to play garves, go to skin spotlights watch the skin and the interactions with other champions, than buy that shit and come and join me at the grave maining.
PS.: And ofcorse oddüsey kayn is everything i wanted in that skin line and i want more of that.
I bought true damage Ekko just for the E sound, and now I am learning to play him for that, the all holly E sound WHOA!!
Corporate Mundo goes so hard because it commits to the joke
It doesn't take the easiest path, it doesn't go with the most obvious joke path, neither does it make everything about the joke
It uses everything in it's arsenal to make the joke work and adds just enough to make it marvelous
gotta love these frequent uploads. GJ Nicky
I think Battle Queen Katarina is one of the best skins in the game and is very much worth the 1820 RP. The skin having amazing voice lines and voice acting for the character compared to the boring voice lines of the base skin. And the effects of the daggers and how they change design for every 3 takedowns is enough for the skin to make it into the top 5. (this may be a little bias bc i am a kat main) (i literally use this skin when i play her)
Honestly kinda wish final boss veigar atleast got an honorable mention, at the time it came out it was very unique, added a SHIT TON of new dialogue, cool particles, it was basically what happened with surprise party fiddles. Well when the rework for fidds happened.
Blood moon Aatrox is personnaly my favorite skin espacially the prestige one, this skin is so badass with amazing effects and an incredible splashart
Never thought I would hear Skullgirls music of all things here.
2 years later* Azir in fact did get a better skin.
I gotta say Gentleman Cho'Gath is up there too. Such an old skin but yet so goofy and funny.
How is Gentleman Cho'Gath not in this list? It's almost ancient, unique voice lines, completely reimagines the character and is on par with Corporate Mundo imo.
Great video though Nic ❤️
Some of my favorite skins either double down on the aesthetic design for the skin line (Project: Renekton, Sentinel Graves, Storm Dragon ASol, Prestige Ascended Pantheon, etc) or are just fun and make me smile (Bee'Maw, Bard Bard, Def not Udyr, Corporate Mundo, Moo Cow Alistar, etc).
tho Pool Party Rek'sai has a special place in my heart as a Rek'sai main. I just love the jet ski nyooooooooom
If I'm being 100% honest, I actually like old Crabgot more. He looks like he'd be right at home in Davy Jones' crew.
Muay thai lee sin is an underrated one as it just makes his animations so fluid. Like, it feels so good doing sick plays with muay thai lee.
Zombie brand is the best skin of all time, the fact that this skin was not mentioned at all is insane.
Fun fact, dark cosmic jhin is the only thing in all of league of legends that has a unique interaction with shaco
Ok from the star guardians star guardian taliyah is just ugh chef kiss , it makes an already fun and cute champion into something that it still feels like her but in a different direction making her a manga fan girl that also is focused on her future potential is just such a nice way to interpret her character into a human universe
Battle academia Caitlyn is the most beautiful legendary skin ever. Even rank 1 challenger PantsAreDragon said that . And is the only skin who has an anime animation on his ultimate.
Imagine not knowing Nunu bot is an homage to an old video series about nunu bot. It's really awesome that old Riot would hype content creators back in the day.
Imagine if illaoi had a dunk master skin dunking her ball every W, or even... a lucha libre teacher skin where her idol is a doll she drags around and slam on the floor everytime
Dark Star Cho'gath, Dragon master Swain and Final Boss Veigar are awesome skins as well but i agree on most of the skins on your list
I wasnt a star guardian fan, thought the magical girl thing was weird. I dont really watch magical girl anime either.
Favourite champ is Jinx, the crazy and her character design is what got me.
Looked at her star guardian skin for a bit, grew on me. Got it for free in the hex chests.
Saw the mythic skin for her and went nuts.
Mythic SG Jinx is my favourite skin.
I want to see more Kaiju skins, all the void monsters could have one and some of the other monster champions I’d just be awesome
Fiddlesticks in the corporate skinline
Please Riot, we need Fiddlestonks
