If that was the reason they should've tried harder. It's basically and epic with better vfx. It'll probably sell anyway because leauge players lack impulse control AND it's her only skin and will be for a while@@TeatimeToad
@@danielbarnes1241 honestly idk how riot can make a legendary skin for a new champion, the animations for new champions are practically perfect and there's only so many ways a character can dash or fling blades in a circle. Most legendaries for new champs feel like epics with just better vfx and new voice lines.
Hey look at the bright sideglad kindred has done so much they went from a champ nobody even knows even existed to now having a prestige and has gotten a legendary robbed meaning the community knows who lamb and wold are only some Champs dream of having this big of a glow up
the original one is the freijoardian version Since it was the one that Tryndareme saw in the cinematic, but maybe that just how the Avarossians perceives them
3:40 That smug, opulent high-fashion clothes, chest hair, revealing just enough for queensofleague reddit to literally implode the second this skin was revealed. Thats why.
Subtlety is often way sexier than conspicuousness. The same way that looking desperate is a turnoff. Don't just reveal it all. Provoke the imagination.
Difference between "I'll conquer your tribe and breed you and," "I'm hot, mysterious, and with enough pizazz that you KNOW I fuck good," That second one is straight out of Wattpad too
Kindred skin for Piltover and Zaun would be an awesome concept, piltovan lamb with a Hextech bow and jewelry while Zaunite wolf exuding smog and jagged metal teeth
Also, Wolf looking kinda similar to a certain wolf that also resides in Zaun, and when he hunts his eyes turns red and you hear a certain W music of another champ. That would be awesome
2 things: 1. I can’t hear this skinline’s title without hearing Torbek from Legends of Avantis fail miserably at poetry. 2. I wish you used the DrLalve Demoman clip from the guide where he whips out all the melee weapons when geeking out over Swain’s wings.
The fact that a skin line that revolves around kindred doesnt give the legendary to kindred makes me wanna cry, and the coold design of the MV was also thrown aways and I liked it a looot. I liked more the black and gold palette with the glowing red instead of the color palette of the actual skin. Us, kindred mains, were robbed. •`_´•
Kindred(at the same time l): For the last time League Community!: Our pronouns are they/them, not because we are non-binary but because we are literally two spirits!
I actually do not mind Ambessa getting the legendary, the whole skinline story revolves around her in a really wonderful way. What I do mind is as you said most animations are just the same anyway.
What you're seeing with the Swain skin Nicky is what I, an unfortunate member of the the Fate community, like to refers to as the Medb effect. No one can really explain it but yea, sometimes more clothes are just sexier than 90% skin. For everyone confused as to what I'm talking about: Go look at Base Medb (Rider Queen Medb) and compare her to her Summer (Saber Queen Medb) version.
Why no Warwick in there, he could literally be the wolf of the lamb, "unbound" from her side, making them thematically match, and fun to play together.
People will say its ambessas skinline therefore ofc she would get the legendary but who cares it could have easily been a basic skin and then voice lines could just be in the base pool kindred was robbed but at least they have the best splash art
The fact that Pantheon is a random Noxian is actually funny considering how much people started arguing about Dates and lore upon the music vids release
Gon be honest as a kat main i kinda love the kat skin. Sure the fx are kinda generic but it just looks good. its aesthetically pleasing even if it does nothing special
At first I was let down that Sion, the Noxian legend known for being wolf chosen didn't show up, but then I remembered that he probably *was* up there but the Grey Legion's magic probably ripped him out of Noxian Valhalla.
I feel like this skinline is really cool with the lore implications but like. Also. They just fumbled on the actual execution. Like, I get the vibe of it that these are the people that were good enough fights that the Wolf actually let them go for a bit longer, because they're a fun chase, because they're interesting, and that theme works with literally every champion chosen, Pantheon included even though I guess the skin isn't technically isn't him.
I think the quality of Ambessa's legendary will be the quality of all legendaries from now on... because... they probably left the "best" aspects of quality for the $200-$300 legendaries they release every month... Vi's Legendary feels similar to the case of Ambessa's... Both feels like an incompletes legendarys or with wasted potential in several aspects of the skins.
Honestly as cool as it would be if kindred as the legendary it would feel weird if one interpretation of kindred was legendary… I WOULD LOVE TO SEE GREYMAN AS A SKIN THOUGH AND THAT SHOULD BE LEGENDARY
Prestige Swain looking like Henry Cavill and, yeah, seeing that not Kindred nor Pantheon got the legendary but Ambessa was a robbery. I know that RIOT want to hype her up, but this is way too much hype
this is my favorite skin line of the year so far. lore connections that aren't tied to ionia? great! i love the aesthetic, and i think that all of the skins were well done. kindred does deserve a legendary, but since this is the title of ambessa's novel and her music video, it doesn't bother me that she got it. the copypasted animations are a let down though. they did it in the past with senna and pyke, and their second legendaries ended up being way better than those.
I was really disappointed that pantheon is not the legendary cuz from the trailer he looked like the big final boss and i never tought a new champ will get a legendary as their first skin but nah i guess riot works in a mysterious ways
To be honest, I thought CotW Pantheon at first was Rahvun, The Daylight Spear (LoR Solari 5-cost card). Thought Ambessa had connection with Targon before venturing in Noxus Territory.
Daddy Swain and (robbed) Thunder Thighs Kindred. Like the other splasharts dont have those thigs and wolf one *boom* Also Katarina is trying to mimic the Frostblade Irelia now huh?
My main gripe against the ambessa skin is that... Is a legendary, its supposed to show another possible facet of a champion, but: 1. We dont even know ambessa to see the differences between the legendary and base And 2. You cant turn the noxian soldier into a noxian soldier and call it a LEGENDARY
Boyfriend thinks swain skin was supposed to be the leggendary but they changed it because Ambessa(even if you can't tell the difference between the animations) and then "well, we have to give someone the prestige" and gave it to him...I think boyfriend is right
I hate that we got the best Kindred design since base Kindred and then the skin ended up being Lamb with some armour slapped on her... In the skinline entirely focusing on them! Seriously, they should have gone with Fortiche's designers for this one.
As a pantheon main, I was praying that this would be his first legendary skin with the hype in the cinematic. But when I learned that it wasn't a legendary skin and it for ambessa that got it, it feels bad. Her animation is just copy pasted. And even kindred would have been a great legendary skin since it's literally her near death experience with wolf.
Also, USA is no longer a safe county anymore, therefore Twitter is already an toxic app, leading the mass exodus. Reminder: if you ever feel overwhelm, just get off the internet, take a deep breather, do things that will make you have, talk to your loved ones. We all have each other.
Kindred mains feeling what Zoe mains felt when Star guardian 2019 didnt let zoe have the legendary despite she being the main and first villain of the saga. 😢
The entire skin line revolves around the way noxus portrais kindred in it's empire and yet she doesn't get the legendary skin that she rightfully deserves since she is the entire reason this skin line exist? I don't get it
Wow! Missing the potential to give one of the most intriguing champions in lore a felicitously fascinating and potentially all-time incredible legendary skin all so that a shiny new champ can get a shiny new coat of mediocrity that costs $20. Really exceptional work Riot, not at all immensely frustrating.
The Swain Prestige feels like Darius and Draven's dad came back with the milk
Milk ain't the only thing he came back with 😏😂
Daddy swane
This so smoothly captures what my brain wasn't quite getting to
And he became a kda fan
@@chideraekejiuba1319 oh no, there's plenty of milk there
I really can not understand how they did not gave the legendary to Kindred, like it was SOOOO obvious and it would have been such a good skin.
too few players probably. They ONLY want the cash, so Ambessa the new char everyone wants to play gets the legendary
If that was the reason they should've tried harder. It's basically and epic with better vfx. It'll probably sell anyway because leauge players lack impulse control AND it's her only skin and will be for a while@@TeatimeToad
They want the cash from a champion getting a buff on skin sales cause of arcane
@@danielbarnes1241 honestly idk how riot can make a legendary skin for a new champion, the animations for new champions are practically perfect and there's only so many ways a character can dash or fling blades in a circle.

they didn't give Fiora a legendary in one of the most fitting skinlines, so yeah
We were robbed of legendary kindred
Hey look at the bright sideglad kindred has done so much they went from a champ nobody even knows even existed to now having a prestige and has gotten a legendary robbed meaning the community knows who lamb and wold are only some Champs dream of having this big of a glow up
if they make a freljord version, the lamb should be super scary/eerie looking, considering they are scared of dying dishonorably
the original one is the freijoardian version
Since it was the one that Tryndareme saw in the cinematic, but maybe that just how the Avarossians perceives them
@@ouroboros3443 they look like from Freljord, but they are from Demacia/Noxus mythology

WOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOO
OOLF!!!!!);
Witchlight mentioned 🗣🔥🔥
Careful, they may have a craving for human bones
This skin line does not tickle me whatsoever, not like torbek did
I agree, I was disappointed when kindred didnt look how they did in the music video, also i did not realize Ambessa was the legendary 💀💀
They knew what they were doing with prestige swain (its working)
MAKE ME GAG PRESTIGE SWAIN
Daddy? Sorry. Daddy? Sorry. Daddy? Sorry.

Us, kindred mains, were robbed. •`_´•
gonna love what you say about the vi skin
Like 1/10
It's good as long as you don't care that it doesn't look like vi from what we saw so far
It happened in Spirit Blossom, it happened here and it will probably happen again. When will Kindred get her deserved legendary?
IT'S "THEIRS", KINDRED ARE NOT A "SHE" RAAAAAAH 😤😤😤😤
Kindred(at the same time l): For the last time League Community!: Our pronouns are they/them, not because we are non-binary but because we are literally two spirits!
@@xilefm-4517 I remember that different from Venom
Well, they will probably have a modern legendary skin, so:
-no 2 form
-no visible new animations
Like the recent legendary skins (asol, sylas, vi..)
We are Kindred.
I actually do not mind Ambessa getting the legendary, the whole skinline story revolves around her in a really wonderful way. What I do mind is as you said most animations are just the same anyway.

Ngl, I love the Pantheon skin because it isn't Pantheon. Going around in game saying I'm just some fuck off Noxus soldier is so damn funny to me.
Why no Warwick in there, he could literally be the wolf of the lamb, "unbound" from her side, making them thematically match, and fun to play together.
The transforming shield on Pantheon in the music video sold the skin only for it not to be in game xD
Kindred got the sun eater kayle treatment
I am so happy you drew the same Malenia comparison for the Katarina hahaha!
2:55 Wasn't expecting some Lyle Rath in my NickyBoi content, but *chefs kiss* Brava!
2:55 Now there's a blast from the past
People will say its ambessas skinline therefore ofc she would get the legendary but who cares it could have easily been a basic skin and then voice lines could just be in the base pool kindred was robbed but at least they have the best splash art
Rapid-fire? Oh yeah? What if I watch it at 0,5 speed? What then, huh?
Yo lets make a skinline about the god siblings and give lux another legendary skin in that skinline trust me its gonna sell
4:00 What's even the problem? Arcane batch 2 of episodes will release in the next week, it's not like it's a long time waiting for voice lines
0:31, bow that you mentioned it, Ambessa dodged the bullet there.
Where did the unboxing vod go mr boi? I was just enjoying watching that and it got sent to death realm D:
Good thing I can watch this vid instead :D
Insecurity about my appearance
The fact that Pantheon is a random Noxian is actually funny considering how much people started arguing about Dates and lore upon the music vids release
The normal one just gives him a mask when ulting, the prestige steps that up a notch and makes him a full on wolf during his ult
Gon be honest as a kat main i kinda love the kat skin. Sure the fx are kinda generic but it just looks good. its aesthetically pleasing even if it does nothing special
Frabjous Day is quite the deep cut, I love it :v
this video has been approved by noxus, LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE
Fulgore theme... Nice. love Killer Instinct, even though I never played it.
I stopped playing League all together though I still watch your videos they are really high quality and fun.
this is how i feel ab this skinline: 1:53
Kindred will get one of those $500 "upgrades" with the video version being the skin
Pantheon not being Pantheon would have been a great legendary, different person, different animations.
Finally, a worthy prestige skin, which is not crystal or a chroma
At first I was let down that Sion, the Noxian legend known for being wolf chosen didn't show up, but then I remembered that he probably *was* up there but the Grey Legion's magic probably ripped him out of Noxian Valhalla.
i WILL be becoming a Swain main now
That kindred skin slaps so much
Its crazy she isnt the legendary
Chosen of the wolf Pantheon should've been The Warrior, specially considering that he's dead and would've been a great fit
The normal Swain ult form is how Kindred should look like
I feel like this skinline is really cool with the lore implications but like. Also. They just fumbled on the actual execution. Like, I get the vibe of it that these are the people that were good enough fights that the Wolf actually let them go for a bit longer, because they're a fun chase, because they're interesting, and that theme works with literally every champion chosen, Pantheon included even though I guess the skin isn't technically isn't him.
cant wait to see nicky's reaction on Vi's $20 vgu skin
a vgu would still look better, this is just 20$ default vi but uglier somehow
Chosen of the Wolf should have been the legendary. The skin is so fucking cooooool.
pantheon needed that skin to be legendary and for the skin lore to actually not be whatever it is
Surprised you didn’t make the splash art comparison between the Kat skin and Akali
I think the quality of Ambessa's legendary will be the quality of all legendaries from now on... because... they probably left the "best" aspects of quality for the $200-$300 legendaries they release every month... Vi's Legendary feels similar to the case of Ambessa's... Both feels like an incompletes legendarys or with wasted potential in several aspects of the skins.
Honestly as cool as it would be if kindred as the legendary it would feel weird if one interpretation of kindred was legendary… I WOULD LOVE TO SEE GREYMAN AS A SKIN THOUGH AND THAT SHOULD BE LEGENDARY

maby the 2nde half of the event is the kindred prestige, but didn't want to spoil it just yet.
I have the same issue with Kindred. I dislike the fact that it didn't look the same!
750 rp skin sold as a legendary oh happy days
this is my favorite skin line of the year so far. lore connections that aren't tied to ionia? great! i love the aesthetic, and i think that all of the skins were well done. kindred does deserve a legendary, but since this is the title of ambessa's novel and her music video, it doesn't bother me that she got it. the copypasted animations are a let down though. they did it in the past with senna and pyke, and their second legendaries ended up being way better than those.
Swain Prestige is the K.D.A C.E.O
something tells me he has been watching a new animated show recently...
I was really disappointed that pantheon is not the legendary cuz from the trailer he looked like the big final boss and i never tought a new champ will get a legendary as their first skin but nah i guess riot works in a mysterious ways
Unmasked wolf pantheon looks like the leery Jenkins or Turalyon npc in world of warcraft
Also kindred totally deserves the legendary in this skin line
To be honest, I thought CotW Pantheon at first was Rahvun, The Daylight Spear (LoR Solari 5-cost card). Thought Ambessa had connection with Targon before venturing in Noxus Territory.
Oo, Lyle "Some Guy" reference
why cant i ever find that sandman "I DONT CARE" clip
Daddy Swain and (robbed) Thunder Thighs Kindred. Like the other splasharts dont have those thigs and wolf one *boom*
Also Katarina is trying to mimic the Frostblade Irelia now huh?
Bring more champs with Chest hair!! It's the only reason I'm playing Swain again. THIRST!!
Pantheon's skin reminds me of the venatori from dragon age inquisition
Respectfully the Pantheon skin is just gold and red pantheon with no creativity whatsoever. It is more of a 3/10 😢
riot's worse enemy is riot
Giving a brand new champ a legendary is like putting glitter on a Mozart. There’s no point it kinda ruins it.
Kindred not being legendary is just a slap in the community's face
I need that Kata skin for… reasons.
growing up is learning h*rniness isnt about how much skin or clothes you have, but how you present it
PANTHEON AND KINDRED SHOULDA BEEN THE ONLY LEGENDARIES OK BYYYYYYEEEEEE
Swain is not chosen of the wolf, it's the K/DA manager
I love uka uka kindred
My main gripe against the ambessa skin is that... Is a legendary, its supposed to show another possible facet of a champion, but:
1. We dont even know ambessa to see the differences between the legendary and base
And
2. You cant turn the noxian soldier into a noxian soldier and call it a LEGENDARY
Mordekaiser didn't get to go to Noxian Vallhalla because he was too good at not dying. Man would have been a raid boss down there.
Yeah, I was disappointed in the Kindred skin. It's just Wolf and the...*other Wolf*. Yippee....
Boyfriend thinks swain skin was supposed to be the leggendary but they changed it because Ambessa(even if you can't tell the difference between the animations) and then "well, we have to give someone the prestige" and gave it to him...I think boyfriend is right

Also lets not give kindread the legendary

But when I learned that it wasn't a legendary skin and it for ambessa that got it, it feels bad. Her animation is just copy pasted. And even kindred would have been a great legendary skin since it's literally her near death experience with wolf.
i think the kindred one is the only skin that is kinda good, bc kindred. the other ones lack flavour
The greed is running rampant in this new arcane event, im already smelling the lay offs

Surely with the skin so bad this means they put the quality for her in Legends of Run-
oh
I dislike the pantheon skin very much, its just worse than the base :(
Me see monster hunter reference, me happy, me press the like button
Nice idea, poor exicution
i know we’re not supposed to like sexy-for-no-reason swain, but god he’s hot
Kindred mains feeling what Zoe mains felt when Star guardian 2019 didnt let zoe have the legendary despite she being the main and first villain of the saga. 😢
Sion got snubbed.
All this wolf stuff coming with Ambessa and not even a single mention to Warwick
Crazy how they made a whole music video to show off the skins and then over half the skins dont match the cinematic 💀
Pantheons skins more like spirit blossom using him to represent someone else
1:53 THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING
Damn, They really did a great job with Katarina's booty in this splash art, I was left disoriented
The entire skin line revolves around the way noxus portrais kindred in it's empire and yet she doesn't get the legendary skin that she rightfully deserves since she is the entire reason this skin line exist?
I don't get it
the swain ult has swords xD
