Cafe cuties Rek'sai where Rek'sai has the same texture as a Croissant. She has approximately the same shape and her scales could be redesigned into a Croissants Lines.
I would love to see inkshadow or street demon Nilah. Her whip works perfectly as a paintbrush and flows so well with those types of particles needed for the skinline
La Ilusion Mordekaiser could've been so good, a big Maraca as the Mace, lots of fiery spirit effects, have his ult transport you into the La Ilusion realm...like come on! That sounds awesome!
That would have been really cool now that you mentioned that, it would have been amazing and his death animation would have flowers appearing similar to the legendary kat skin
I think Elementalist could be a decent Skinline. Lux is the Master of All Elements, and everyone else is the Master of One of the already-established elements. Edit: At the time I'm revisiting this comment I have 666 Likes, which I appreciate. Also, I gave it some more thought. Epic Skins would be "Master of One" (Brand, Nami, Janna) Legendary skins would be "Jack of Some Trades" (Qiyana, Shyvanna)
K'sante is sort of a middle point, but tbh he hasn't been given any time to shine. He's supposed to be the Leader fyi, and they haven't shown anything to make him look the part
Rakan could have his place is Heartsteel, he's the type of guy who lives for the public. Maybe with "superfan" Xayah who's a fangirl admiring him and they eventually meet, and Xayah could be the goofy one in this universe while Rakan is the more romantic one. Could be funny imo
Hear me out on this one: DunkMaster Briar Imagine this. you hit 6 and you see a fight breaking out in bot lane. Briars Pillory is now the Backboard and net which she fires towards the Bot lane and it hits, marking the enemy with a Giant Hoop like Darius and half a second later you see briar coming in half way across the Map with the biggest Dunk of the century
I have had the idea for Legendary (or even Mythical) Dunkmaster Illaoi for like 5 years now. It's so obvious. She literally has the most basketball shaped object in the entirety of league. I also _would've_ liked the idea that all dunkmasters would be playable toplane so they can have a 1v1, but no. Ivern. The tentacles would have tiny pompons and cheerleading uniforms, and with every slam or Q, there'd be a crowd doing the "ooooOOOOooo" that an audience does during a La Ola/Mexican Wave, getting louder for more tentacles. Ult is the most obvious dunk ever since Darius release, and the tentacles would go crazy for Illaoi shortening to a simple "HEY!". For her E you can just pretend she is insulting the enemy's "fighting spirit". Pretty much every champ that has a jump in their ult could get a dunkmaster skin, but how has this not happened yet...
Riot should have saved Ink shadow or street demon for Hwei He would really be good addition for both of the skinlines Instead he got forced into winterbless They should really go back to their old style, just give new Champion a skin that doesn't have to fit in the most recent released skin
I saw someone had an idea for "Corporate Yorick" where the maiden is his secretary, the ghouls are unpaid interns, the W is a pile of paperwork, his shovel is made of gold, and his E is just money.
sadly i don't think that's in the cards anymore, since debonair was also just "character in suit looking more romantical" and they changed that to include demons and stuff for no apparent reason. there's always gotta be a twist nowadays even if it would just be better simple.
Like Nickyboy once said Corporate Mundo is him in completely unnatural profession, so i came up with idea: "Monsters Inc." -Corporate Mundo -Human Resources Tahm Kench/Nocturn/Fiddlesticks -Economist Cho'Gath -PR Manager Rammus/Rek'Sai etc.
Random skin line idea, I love the idea of deep sea nami. Imagine rek’sai as an isopod monster or Renata as a mermaid and her familiar is a jellyfish. Or viperfish sol. There’s so many weird and mystical deep creatures and I’d love to see more skins.
I've always believed that Syndra and Nami should have been dual legendries for coven, each worshipping their own old god (mord or illaoi) since they both have strong thematics with those champs. Its just super scuffed that 2 of the last 3 dual legend releases were for the same champ (night/dawn soraka and cosmic/dark star lux). At least Kai'sa and Akali were interesting as there was tension in their story. Side note: Gragas needs more skins like Space Groove where he gets to be cool and not just a fat joke. Please put him in winterblessed as an old saint nick coded character without it just outright being another santa skin
Its a crime Milio has been skipped over in so many skinlines so far: Cafe Cuties - his furnace couldve been a giant tea pot. Coven: a the covens apprentice. Bees: he could have a giant honey dipper and his fuemigos are the bees. Winter blessed: he could kick snowglobes. There's so many easy wins and he's just left out 😢
I want some ultimate Yone skin where he has 10 masks and by putting them on he tranforms into 10 different avatars of demon kings (fiddle-horror, ashlesh-joy etc.)from the canon lore
If I remember correctly, riot stated that there would NEVER be another ultimate skin like elementalist lux. So it’s most likely not going to be full body, but it would be reeaally dope if it was like.. color scheme and mask changing!
Street demon Ivern would make for a funny Bob Ross reference. Ivern is just painting happy little trees. The Neeko street demon skin has her painting a nice colorful mural.
Yeah, another skin for Rakan without Xayah. But, it would be cool if the TFT fan skins would be an effect and Xayah instead becomes a fan of Rakan and instead of her edgy personality, she'd have that fangirl energy dying to see her idol. And thar would be a legendary skin due to voicelines her being girly and fangirling on the whole group and especially Rakan. And they'll have a special custom recall animation instead of the usual, them dancing. Instead, Xayah fainting on Rakan's arms.
Also think Akshan wouldve been an absolute banger for heartsteel. Hes already a charismatic pretty boy, gives some diversity and i think would fit in great
Honestly, i feel like ksante is just “there” in heartsteel. Sett feels more cohesive with the group because if his link with aphelios, same with ezreal and kayn being the chaotic duo of the group, yone feels more like the mom of the group, and then there ksante who is just there. It’s just that you dont feel his presence as a member of heartsteel. Iirc he is supposed to be the leader but yone seems like a better suited member for that role. They couldve used rakan, sylas, lucian, and to maybe some extent shen, yi, or zed.
I will defend this until the end of time, since Night/Dawn bringer (Order vs Chaos) is so full and kind of tired, a perfect embodiment of balance in a champ like Kindred or a transforming champ would be amazing, like I don't even know why Kayle isn't in that skinline but Morgana is.
It genuinely baffles me that, despite being perfect for these duality skinlines, Kindred hasn't been put into a single one. Imagine how sick Cosmic/Dark Star Kindred would look.
On Taric Heartsteel, I think Riot is saving him for the eventual country music group. Y'know, alongside Karma, Twisted Fate, Alistar and Rell. (Garen is excluded from the Country group because he's part of a Paramore/Evanescence-esque group with his gf, Katarina)
If they add Gragas into a boyband, put him with Graves, Braum, and Taric. I know it's a joke among certain members of the community, but I'll say it here. Having dudes who are peak in their physics being in a boyband would be too funny and a subversion of expectations
The next band should be a jazz band called lethal tempo and has, bard ( trumpet) zac ( sax ) graggas ( cello ) rek sai ( tampbring ) gwen ( sinnger ) Tahm ( rodie ) amd have the style be old fashion louisana bayou style funk jazz scene, would be dope
When Heartsteel came out I felt like it had so much to go for yet this is what they came out with. They literally can make a big event for two bands that clash with each other. So I have ideas. You make two bands one for Ornn named Radiant Virtue and another one for Volibear named Iceborn Gunlet. Then make Radiant Virtue a Jazz theme band Ornn Nilah Taliyah Ivern and Bard (They literally had Bard model for TFT) Ornn is a composer, Bard plays Saxophone makes Taliyah into a pianist, and turns her rocks into piano pedal. Nilah could play drums and Ivern can play double bass with Daisy. Oh, and Ornn is a Boomer who likes to compose music on paper(when he composes music he smashes the paper with a hammer) then Nilah could be a millennial or Gen Z who tries to make him compose music on a computer, Ornn would definitely not understand because he's a Big Boomer and smash the computer with his hammer. Iceborn Gunlet is obviously a Punk band, Make Volibear and Galio turn into loud and outgoing Grandpa with 3 Grandkids Zeri Vi and Rell. then we have two bands in every roles. And in the video, you mention Taric. What if we turn him into an influencer and change the aspect title to a head creator of social media platforms. Taric can be the person who did a Charity video. Diana a Nighttime Vlogger, and Leona a Daytime Vlogger(make Leona the type of person who uses two phones first one is a smartphone that she uses for vlog and a Very old Nokia that she actually use when making her skin turns her Nokia into her shield and her sword into selfie sticks.) Pantheon can be Bodybuilder vid style. I didn't forget about Zoe tho her account was banned because they don't believe she's 13+ Now If someone at Riot reads this I sell my ideas for 1 gazillion RP
Feel like street demons missed out on using Nilah, she already has a demon in her story, and they could've made her weapon into a large brush. Also all of her vfx involving water would have been really cool translated into different paints. Like her q, dash, her w spreading paint on her allies is a missed one, and last but not least her ult being a giant whirlpool of paint. Need I say more?
He should have replaced Yone. Have Taric as the older manager, used to be a popstar, using the band as one final chance for his own need for fame. So he's 'managing' the band while making sure he gets in front of the cameras and preens for them.
Cafe cuties reksai is great honestly it would be super fun. It reminds me of in my own personal redesign of chogath that ive been working on and off for the past couple years i think it would be great to have a "lady reksai" skin to pair with his Gentleman chogath skin they could both be legendaries too. Super wishful thinking but the idea is just so funny/charming to me, a skin with champions in victorian/edwardian fashion as a couple with the twist that both are gigantic horrific man eating mosters
I've been saying for ages Riot should have swapped Street Demons Mundo with Immortal Journey Zeri. Have Zeri be a storm spirit who puts her tags in the most absurdly high up amd hard to reach places, and make Mundo the muscle headed body cultivator with 0 talent for sword cultivation. Both would have been amazing skins.
Here's the thing about Lux and Akali, both do fit the skin lines if swapped, but their potential as legendaries if swapped is better than just epic skins
I just want Rakan in a boyband and Xayah in like pentakill or something like that i just think it would be so funny and i mean it fits them so well like already they’re the edgy one and the sparkly one they could just.. turn it up a notch and add music for funsies
Yone being in heartsteel is truly the epitome of why TF is he here, his role being the mature one is taken by Ksante, production and music mixing by Aphelios AND Alune being the band's manager, what TF does Yone does? And he got the prestige skin, just why?
cafe cutie reksai is a nice concept but the real missed potential was discussed before and that would be not making corporate a skin line. corporate reksai being a secretary as exampled before is a better concept
For Street Demons I think Bard would be a good addition down the line. He could collect paint cans like in Jet Set radio, his empowered autos and Q could be paint splashes and his ult literally captures the moment like a work of art. Just put him in a big puffy street jacket and maybe make the mask painted and you're set.
hearsteel sett literally just looks like default sett with an undershirt and a beanie - his colours and general style are all the same it feels so redundant
Cafe Cutie Fiddlesticks as a high tier skins that has a tray of cups that his jerky movement keeps dropping of the the tray and his voice lines are all in the creepy baseline voice but normal kawaii maid waitress lines. I would pay good money for that.
Star Guardian Aphelios could be a good legendary skin for him, he could speak in this skin and his familiar would be Alune making him the one who says all the dialogues and interactions
Or she is the first star, aphelios is the only one who can directly hear her. Also, because he is so connected to the first star, he can changes his gem color and his weapon at wish
Fiddlesticks Street Demon, he would be some ancient artistic spirit that's able to tag entire streets in one night, no one knows how he does it or what he looks like, and those that do wish they hadn't seen the eldritch demon
Like I know K-pop is really popular right now. But we really need more diverse band theme skins like rock, grunge, or emo. I feel like an emo/screamo band aesthetic could go really far in league
i wish taric couldve gotten a demacia vice skin. i know technically 5th age was retroactively assigned demacia vice and it kinda bombed so its probably not coming back but i think he wouldve pulled off the look well, and his vfx fit the sort of synthwave aesthetic
Street demons Morgana and Kayle. Kayle starts out with a small brush that gradually gets larger and more colorful. Morgana is all about those wide spashes of color (via her Q and W.) Lore wise, they're twin painters who actually work collaboratively, Morgana providing massive splotches of spray paint and Kayle using those to create her art.
For Bees, I am firm on Queen Bee Syndra. Just turn her orbs into fat smol bees and you're half way there. Street Demon needs Anivia. Her wall is a graffiti tag, her abilities are all color based and she can look like some NY Hip Hop Bird from the 90ies.
I still want a reboot of the cooking skins like baker Pantheon, because I want the K'sante skin you thought of for jeopardy, Crois'sante, adding to it, I want Fondue Fiora where she has a Fondue fork as her sword, Soup Singed, where he runs around with heavily garlic filled soup so the smell is the trail, and his w is a puddle of soup. Riot get on it, I want no royalties except a skin of the 2 I thought of
The reason why Coven Syndra was so hyped because the Coven skin designer 'Riot Stellari' said in twitter that Syndra was the inspiration for the skinline. Since then, it got anticipated that Syndra must be special. Also, Syndra is kinda like "Scarlet Witch" of Runeterra so People really wanted Coven Syndra because Coven was supposed to elevate champ base personality. In MCU unlike other witches, Scarlet Witch is prophesied witch who either destorys or rules and she doesnt need incantations to cast spells like other witches. Riot could made Coven Syndra " The Scarlet witch of coven" also it would have been unique if they made She doesnt need to worship no Old God (which other Coven witches do) but so powerful enough to take down a Old God or be against both Coven and Knights just like her lore that she hates both Ionia and Noxus. But oh well haha.
To be fair, I don't mind Taric not being in Heartsteel because he's in Space Groove instead. The Disco theme admittedly fits him better I think even if it's not a 'band' so to say.
The talk about Street Demon Singed reminds me that he *almost* got Chromacrash in Wild Rift, and it looked really nice - giant spray can on his back, a skate shield, and drip. Sadly he didn't made it :( Hopefully he'll get his chance in the future. Who knows - maybe he's the upcoming Arcane VGU and we get the skin with it.
I didn't mind Sett being in the heartsteel skinline, but I do think it felt VERY badly distributed. Why would you have a 6 members band and only two of those are singers and two are rappers?? also, Ezreal singing the whole prechorus and chorus and K'sante only singing the bridge and the MV doesn't even focus on him in his part-- like?? if it had came down to me either take out Aphelios and Yone, or if you want to keep Aphelios for the aesthetics, give him the legendary with new voicelines, they made a whole reason why he can't sign, but this isn't the canon universe of runeterra. Make his story before he had to get surgery and base the skin about his anxiety of no longer being able to sing in a near future. Way more compelling than Kayn edgy "alter ego". This skinline should've been (imo) Ezreal, Aphelios, Taric, K'sante as vocals and Sett & Talon/Sylas as rappers, make the line distribution better, let Baekhyun sing in korean, Aphelios could've been Kyungsoo since they already used someone from Exo and one of the rappers could've been South Korean too or smth, and this skinline coul've had the same success as K/DA. But riot decided to go the money hungry way and only chose them based on skin-buying popularity.
I think they should have given Taric the legendary for Heartsteel and replaced him with Yone. Yone is already part of another music skinline, ocean song, and Taric was MADE for this. Imagine him with the floating drones as his gems unlike Yone who they gave drones to for absolutely no reason. Like, doesn't that just write itself? Him as the main filmmaker for the whole video? That'd be awesome and fitting with his thematic of a support. Of course he'd be doing his all to film everyone the coolest they can be for the video and giving them all the spotlight. Man, I want to make this. In fact, I'm going to. Imma make it. Expect that fanart soon, Nicky
They should make a skinline that adds one new champ per year to it but the champions skin is a legendary that have lots of dialogue to respond to different champs and other champs of the skinline
I think that street demons could've really taken any of the wild and chaotic gunner adc champions and made them work. Jinx, Zeri, Jhin, they all could work if you simply give them a paintball gun
I think the real missed potential was Riot not following up on that dumb reference to Viego being the main villain in the cafe cuties universe. Cafe Cuties Viego would be so fucking funny.
I think Cafe Cuties Ziggs could work well, where instead of bombs he chucks cherry-topped cupcakes...that happen to have bombs inside of them, sure, but they're still cupcakes!
2:16 THANK YOU, THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TELLING PPL!!! But it's always "no geralt, skins are supposed to put champions in different themes and universes." UM- HELLLOOOO YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT THEY WOULDN'T HAVE HAD BETTER SALES ON BOTH SKINS? ALSO WHO TF ASKED.. FOR COVEN AKALI... AND SOUL FIGHTER LUX...?
Hwei should've released with Street Demons and Briar should've released with Winter Blessed. Brair with a Christmas tree as he binds would be so good. And Hwei is already a painter. Also as for Heartsteel, I feel Aphelios should've been swapped for Rakan
I think that Akshan would've fit so well in Heartsteel, even if not a band member he could have been hilarious as their agent/manager, Yone doesn't really bring much to the table
Not sure how much this counts as "missed potential" but fuck it, even as a Kayn fan I still don't think he should've gotten the legendary for Heartsteel. I know some people like how Riot took the skin in a different direction by making Rhaast an alter ego of Kayn, but imo, Rhaast was the main thing that separated Kayn and made him more interesting than all the other edgy anime-inspired champs in the game, and their dynamic was the best part of their last legendary skin. And Heartsteel Kayn just feels like it's trying to be Odyssey Kayn but worse, from similar designs with the high collared coat, eyepatch, and ditching Kayn's giant braid, to the same flamboyant perfectionist flaunting in his voicelines, to even trying to give him and Rhaast that bickering "frenemies" dynamic despite Rhaast having no good reason to be interacting with Kayn in that way. Plus it takes away other opportunities for Kayn and Rhaast to have other legendaries that play with their dynamic, like maybe one where they're more like allies piloting the same body fucking Pacific Rim style, or one where the positions are flipped and Kayn is the one fighting for control from Rhaast, I feel like those ideas are just way more interesting than a skin deleting Rhaast as a person but also not really since Riot can't seemed to decide to fully commit to the alter ego idea either. And as for who I think should've gotten the legendary, my vote goes to Aphelios. I thought making him a singer and taking the chance to give him voicelines would've been a great way to make a legendary than really reinvents the character and allows us to see more of his personality since we don't get a lot of that from his other skins (especially since he's shown to be a bit of a sassy trickster in Heartsteel), it would give Riot opportunity to go even crazier with his weapons and make them look even more like instruments, and I personally just don't like how Alune appears in the effects on this skin, it feels out of place for the role she has as the band's manager, so a legendary would allow Riot to change those effects to something flashier and more fitting. TLDR since wow this got long: I don't like that Kayn got the legendary for Heartsteel, it should've gone to Aphelios, and I say this as a Kayn main.
Rammus ink demon where he leaves a paint trail and a big sploosh of paint when he lands the ult would be fantastic... also Soul Fighter Lee sin would be a godlike skin in my opinion, and if they wanted a mage in the Soul Fighter universe wouldn't Ryze or Sylas fit better, or maybe Diana? Kha'zix would be cool in the Soul Fighter or Ink shadow skinline too...
Cafe cuties Rek'sai where Rek'sai has the same texture as a Croissant. She has approximately the same shape and her scales could be redesigned into a Croissants Lines.
Riot, hire this person
Edit: Only issue with this is that it might clash with Croissante. Maybe a full Croissant skinline?
Q u a s o
Hol' on, let him cook.
Café (abomination) Creatures
This is a better thought process than "it would be funny".
I would love to see inkshadow or street demon Nilah. Her whip works perfectly as a paintbrush and flows so well with those types of particles needed for the skinline
Damn you’re so right
Plus her soul fighter skin is too good to keep as a wild rift exclusive
La Ilusion Mordekaiser could've been so good, a big Maraca as the Mace, lots of fiery spirit effects, have his ult transport you into the La Ilusion realm...like come on! That sounds awesome!
That would have been really cool now that you mentioned that, it would have been amazing and his death animation would have flowers appearing similar to the legendary kat skin
oh that's not...
It's something the old riot would think of.. but nowadays they just more on the high fashion style in every concept...
Or like a Matador or a Mariachi just like from the movie The Book of Life
I think Elementalist could be a decent Skinline. Lux is the Master of All Elements, and everyone else is the Master of One of the already-established elements.
Edit: At the time I'm revisiting this comment I have 666 Likes, which I appreciate. Also, I gave it some more thought.
Epic Skins would be "Master of One" (Brand, Nami, Janna)
Legendary skins would be "Jack of Some Trades" (Qiyana, Shyvanna)
Problem is that it would deviate to just elemental skins, which,... would lack substance, even if youd have lots of elements
Elementalist Shyvana because elemental dragons
@@rokakakacake okay actually a legendary skin where shyvanna looks diferent depending on which dragon she secured would be cool as hell
@@radjetpack631 Maybe She changes forms depending on which Elemental Rift takes place.

JINX INSTEAD OF AMUMU IS GENIUS ACTUALLY
It would renew all the homophobic jinx jokes people were making after arcane.
I mean, in my opinion, Yone also clashes with K'sante, because they both play the part of "mature guy keeping the group focused".
Yone is more the calm and edgy type tho. K sante feel more fun loving but gentle
yes and we throw yone in the bin because he's yone
Ksante doesnt fit in anything ever cause of those ugly ass weapons.
K'sante is sort of a middle point, but tbh he hasn't been given any time to shine. He's supposed to be the Leader fyi, and they haven't shown anything to make him look the part
Yone is the mom of the group, ksante brings absolutely nothing
Rakan could have his place is Heartsteel, he's the type of guy who lives for the public. Maybe with "superfan" Xayah who's a fangirl admiring him and they eventually meet, and Xayah could be the goofy one in this universe while Rakan is the more romantic one. Could be funny imo

I would love a modern business skinline with champs in just business suit.
I miss simple skin. Those high concept skin are cool but they can be bit overdesign sometimes.
I saw someone had an idea for "Corporate Yorick" where the maiden is his secretary, the ghouls are unpaid interns, the W is a pile of paperwork, his shovel is made of gold, and his E is just money.

Like Nickyboy once said Corporate Mundo is him in completely unnatural profession, so i came up with idea: "Monsters Inc."
-Corporate Mundo
-Human Resources Tahm Kench/Nocturn/Fiddlesticks
-Economist Cho'Gath
-PR Manager Rammus/Rek'Sai
etc.
That will never happen, riot just will choose the Chinese demand that only handsome boy and cute girl exist
Random skin line idea, I love the idea of deep sea nami. Imagine rek’sai as an isopod monster or Renata as a mermaid and her familiar is a jellyfish. Or viperfish sol. There’s so many weird and mystical deep creatures and I’d love to see more skins.
I want to see a lovecraftian skin line myself. K'thul'hu Karthus, Shoggoths Chogath, Azaroth Azir. The nerd in me would scream BUY BUY BUY

I've always believed that Syndra and Nami should have been dual legendries for coven, each worshipping their own old god (mord or illaoi) since they both have strong thematics with those champs. Its just super scuffed that 2 of the last 3 dual legend releases were for the same champ (night/dawn soraka and cosmic/dark star lux). At least Kai'sa and Akali were interesting as there was tension in their story.
Side note: Gragas needs more skins like Space Groove where he gets to be cool and not just a fat joke. Please put him in winterblessed as an old saint nick coded character without it just outright being another santa skin
Illaoi being an old god doesn't sound like a good idea I think old gods should always be exclusive to monster champs
Its a crime Milio has been skipped over in so many skinlines so far:
Cafe Cuties - his furnace couldve been a giant tea pot.
Coven: a the covens apprentice.
Bees: he could have a giant honey dipper and his fuemigos are the bees.
Winter blessed: he could kick snowglobes.
There's so many easy wins and he's just left out 😢
Beelio PLEASE Riot :(
Milio has no place in Coven.
I want some ultimate Yone skin where he has 10 masks and by putting them on he tranforms into 10 different avatars of demon kings (fiddle-horror, ashlesh-joy etc.)from the canon lore
First league skin to cost 1000 bucks
If I remember correctly, riot stated that there would NEVER be another ultimate skin like elementalist lux. So it’s most likely not going to be full body, but it would be reeaally dope if it was like.. color scheme and mask changing!
So Male Elementalist Lux.

Street demon Ivern would make for a funny Bob Ross reference. Ivern is just painting happy little trees.

Taric and Rakan would have fitted perfectly in Heartsteel.
Rakan would have made perfect sense as the choreographer of the group
Agreed 😭😭😭
@@marvinbange1216omg YES he’s already a dancer
Also Rakan has Kpop reverences in his original VO, he's perfect for a boyband
Yeah, another skin for Rakan without Xayah. But, it would be cool if the TFT fan skins would be an effect and Xayah instead becomes a fan of Rakan and instead of her edgy personality, she'd have that fangirl energy dying to see her idol. And thar would be a legendary skin due to voicelines her being girly and fangirling on the whole group and especially Rakan. And they'll have a special custom recall animation instead of the usual, them dancing. Instead, Xayah fainting on Rakan's arms.
As a Taric And Rakan main I 100% agree: this skin line needs a real support and one of these boys with their flamboyancy would have been PERFECT!

They couldve used rakan, sylas, lucian, and to maybe some extent shen, yi, or zed.
Heartsteel Rakan is something i hope they go for if they add a member

I will defend this until the end of time, since Night/Dawn bringer (Order vs Chaos) is so full and kind of tired, a perfect embodiment of balance in a champ like Kindred or a transforming champ would be amazing, like I don't even know why Kayle isn't in that skinline but Morgana is.
It genuinely baffles me that, despite being perfect for these duality skinlines, Kindred hasn't been put into a single one. Imagine how sick Cosmic/Dark Star Kindred would look.
Preach brother@@NiGHTSIntoMemes
Braum deserved to be in Heartsteel,
I mean he does steal the community heart with his charming and honest personality.
Heartsteel Naafiri, we literally have a dog in music video already
On Taric Heartsteel, I think Riot is saving him for the eventual country music group. Y'know, alongside Karma, Twisted Fate, Alistar and Rell.
(Garen is excluded from the Country group because he's part of a Paramore/Evanescence-esque group with his gf, Katarina)
If they add Gragas into a boyband, put him with Graves, Braum, and Taric. I know it's a joke among certain members of the community, but I'll say it here. Having dudes who are peak in their physics being in a boyband would be too funny and a subversion of expectations
KDSteel? Is that it? I'm on it man
Speaking of Cafe Cuties:
Cafe Cuties Viego was mentioned in the Star Guardian story. WHY DID WE NOT GET CAFE CUTIES VIEGO.
The next band should be a jazz band called lethal tempo and has, bard ( trumpet) zac ( sax ) graggas ( cello ) rek sai ( tampbring ) gwen ( sinnger )
Tahm ( rodie ) amd have the style be old fashion louisana bayou style funk jazz scene, would be dope
I feel like pantheon would've been amazing for the Soul Fighter event. He's could've been one of the melee Champs in the skinline.
I thought that too,😢
I WOULD have lost my shit if they did the valentines vi,jinx,cait
When Heartsteel came out I felt like it had so much to go for yet this is what they came out with.
They literally can make a big event for two bands that clash with each other.
So I have ideas. You make two bands one for Ornn named Radiant Virtue and another one for Volibear named Iceborn Gunlet.
Then make Radiant Virtue a Jazz theme band Ornn Nilah Taliyah Ivern and Bard (They literally had Bard model for TFT)
Ornn is a composer, Bard plays Saxophone makes Taliyah into a pianist, and turns her rocks into piano pedal. Nilah could play drums and Ivern can play double bass with Daisy.
Oh, and Ornn is a Boomer who likes to compose music on paper(when he composes music he smashes the paper with a hammer) then Nilah could be a millennial or Gen Z who tries to make him compose music on a computer, Ornn would definitely not understand because he's a Big Boomer and smash the computer with his hammer.
Iceborn Gunlet is obviously a Punk band, Make Volibear and Galio turn into loud and outgoing Grandpa with 3 Grandkids Zeri Vi and Rell. then we have two bands in every roles.
And in the video, you mention Taric. What if we turn him into an influencer and change the aspect title to a head creator of social media platforms. Taric can be the person who did a Charity video. Diana a Nighttime Vlogger, and Leona a Daytime Vlogger(make Leona the type of person who uses two phones first one is a smartphone that she uses for vlog and a Very old Nokia that she actually use when making her skin turns her Nokia into her shield and her sword into selfie sticks.) Pantheon can be Bodybuilder vid style.
I didn't forget about Zoe tho her account was banned because they don't believe she's 13+
Now If someone at Riot reads this I sell my ideas for 1 gazillion RP
Riot should just hire Nickyboi at this point
man I was already upset with Akali being a part of a coven skin line, but realizing how good her swap with Lux could have been hits even worse
Feel like street demons missed out on using Nilah, she already has a demon in her story, and they could've made her weapon into a large brush. Also all of her vfx involving water would have been really cool translated into different paints. Like her q, dash, her w spreading paint on her allies is a missed one, and last but not least her ult being a giant whirlpool of paint. Need I say more?
2:20 YES!!!! I saw this same sentiment in a few comment sections under soul fighter skin spotlights and I couldn't agree more
1000% agree on Taric getting snubbed on Heartsteel.
He should have replaced Yone. Have Taric as the older manager, used to be a popstar, using the band as one final chance for his own need for fame. So he's 'managing' the band while making sure he gets in front of the cameras and preens for them.
They missed out on the hottest league champion smh
Cafe cuties reksai is great honestly it would be super fun.
It reminds me of in my own personal redesign of chogath that ive been working on and off for the past couple years i think it would be great to have a "lady reksai" skin to pair with his Gentleman chogath skin they could both be legendaries too. Super wishful thinking but the idea is just so funny/charming to me, a skin with champions in victorian/edwardian fashion as a couple with the twist that both are gigantic horrific man eating mosters
I've been saying for ages Riot should have swapped Street Demons Mundo with Immortal Journey Zeri. Have Zeri be a storm spirit who puts her tags in the most absurdly high up amd hard to reach places, and make Mundo the muscle headed body cultivator with 0 talent for sword cultivation. Both would have been amazing skins.
Milio wasn't ready for the la illusion skin, the skins were already ready but milio wasnt
I loved the Heartsteel lineup, purely because it reminded me of Odeko Yma and their "Rift dream team" pure gold right there.
Here's the thing about Lux and Akali, both do fit the skin lines if swapped, but their potential as legendaries if swapped is better than just epic skins
I just want Rakan in a boyband and Xayah in like pentakill or something like that i just think it would be so funny and i mean it fits them so well like already they’re the edgy one and the sparkly one they could just.. turn it up a notch and add music for funsies
Yone being in heartsteel is truly the epitome of why TF is he here, his role being the mature one is taken by Ksante, production and music mixing by Aphelios AND Alune being the band's manager, what TF does Yone does? And he got the prestige skin, just why?
Not re-releasing King Rammus is the biggest mistake in Riot's history
cafe cutie reksai is a nice concept but the real missed potential was discussed before and that would be not making corporate a skin line. corporate reksai being a secretary as exampled before is a better concept
For Street Demons I think Bard would be a good addition down the line. He could collect paint cans like in Jet Set radio, his empowered autos and Q could be paint splashes and his ult literally captures the moment like a work of art. Just put him in a big puffy street jacket and maybe make the mask painted and you're set.
I agree; so that Bard may look like something other than an ethereal being in stilts that has some horn and looks Mystical...
hearsteel sett literally just looks like default sett with an undershirt and a beanie - his colours and general style are all the same it feels so redundant
Bro said “Jhin could finally be a painter” while ignoring Blood moon Jhin…
Cafe Cutie Fiddlesticks as a high tier skins that has a tray of cups that his jerky movement keeps dropping of the the tray and his voice lines are all in the creepy baseline voice but normal kawaii maid waitress lines.
I would pay good money for that.
funny how we got 2 art inspired skinlines and the painter champ isnt in either one of them
7:00 when you starte talking about gragas, my yt just crashed
I really, really love the Heartsteel lineup, too much to cut anyone from it. But I completely agree with you when you say Taric was robbed from that.
Star Guardian Aphelios could be a good legendary skin for him, he could speak in this skin and his familiar would be Alune making him the one who says all the dialogues and interactions
Or she is the first star, aphelios is the only one who can directly hear her. Also, because he is so connected to the first star, he can changes his gem color and his weapon at wish
Fiddlesticks Street Demon, he would be some ancient artistic spirit that's able to tag entire streets in one night, no one knows how he does it or what he looks like, and those that do wish they hadn't seen the eldritch demon
Like I know K-pop is really popular right now. But we really need more diverse band theme skins like rock, grunge, or emo. I feel like an emo/screamo band aesthetic could go really far in league
I remember a rioter say they couldn't include Milio in La Illusion because he was still in production
They should make a music band (Boyband) about Monster champions for fun
like:
Chogath
Kogmaw
Kassadin
Velkoz
(idk last champion to put)
i wish taric couldve gotten a demacia vice skin. i know technically 5th age was retroactively assigned demacia vice and it kinda bombed so its probably not coming back but i think he wouldve pulled off the look well, and his vfx fit the sort of synthwave aesthetic
Street demons Morgana and Kayle. Kayle starts out with a small brush that gradually gets larger and more colorful. Morgana is all about those wide spashes of color (via her Q and W.) Lore wise, they're twin painters who actually work collaboratively, Morgana providing massive splotches of spray paint and Kayle using those to create her art.
ok here is an idea, Cafe Cutie Azir where is soldiers are waiters and his staff is a big fork
For Bees, I am firm on Queen Bee Syndra. Just turn her orbs into fat smol bees and you're half way there.
Street Demon needs Anivia. Her wall is a graffiti tag, her abilities are all color based and she can look like some NY Hip Hop Bird from the 90ies.
La illusion Kindred. The sheer irony of death celebrating the passing of loved ones.
Legendary Heartsteel Azir
Based on human Azir pre-ascension, and his stans are his soldier summons.
I still want a reboot of the cooking skins like baker Pantheon, because I want the K'sante skin you thought of for jeopardy, Crois'sante, adding to it, I want Fondue Fiora where she has a Fondue fork as her sword, Soup Singed, where he runs around with heavily garlic filled soup so the smell is the trail, and his w is a puddle of soup. Riot get on it, I want no royalties except a skin of the 2 I thought of
The reason why Coven Syndra was so hyped because the Coven skin designer 'Riot Stellari' said in twitter that Syndra was the inspiration for the skinline.
Since then, it got anticipated that Syndra must be special. Also, Syndra is kinda like "Scarlet Witch" of Runeterra so People really wanted Coven Syndra because Coven was supposed to elevate champ base personality.
In MCU unlike other witches, Scarlet Witch is prophesied witch who either destorys or rules and she doesnt need incantations to cast spells like other witches. Riot could made Coven Syndra " The Scarlet witch of coven" also it would have been unique if they made She doesnt need to worship no Old God (which other Coven witches do) but so powerful enough to take down a Old God or be against both Coven and Knights just like her lore that she hates both Ionia and Noxus.
But oh well haha.
I don't see Syndra as the scarlet witch at all, but if she was the inspiration it's sadge that she's relegated to a weird backup skin instead
To be fair, I don't mind Taric not being in Heartsteel because he's in Space Groove instead. The Disco theme admittedly fits him better I think even if it's not a 'band' so to say.
Putting Taric in Heartsteel would be like putting Fabio in One Direction. Completely different vibes.
I want bee skin Anivia called Bnivia and just replace all of the ice in her abilities with bees
The thing about street demons is that it’s street DEMONS. Like they specifically made them monster/non-human champions on purpose
The talk about Street Demon Singed reminds me that he *almost* got Chromacrash in Wild Rift, and it looked really nice - giant spray can on his back, a skate shield, and drip. Sadly he didn't made it :(
Hopefully he'll get his chance in the future. Who knows - maybe he's the upcoming Arcane VGU and we get the skin with it.
I just want to say that the editing is so good! Amazingly funny.
I didn't mind Sett being in the heartsteel skinline, but I do think it felt VERY badly distributed. Why would you have a 6 members band and only two of those are singers and two are rappers?? also, Ezreal singing the whole prechorus and chorus and K'sante only singing the bridge and the MV doesn't even focus on him in his part-- like?? if it had came down to me either take out Aphelios and Yone, or if you want to keep Aphelios for the aesthetics, give him the legendary with new voicelines, they made a whole reason why he can't sign, but this isn't the canon universe of runeterra. Make his story before he had to get surgery and base the skin about his anxiety of no longer being able to sing in a near future. Way more compelling than Kayn edgy "alter ego". This skinline should've been (imo) Ezreal, Aphelios, Taric, K'sante as vocals and Sett & Talon/Sylas as rappers, make the line distribution better, let Baekhyun sing in korean, Aphelios could've been Kyungsoo since they already used someone from Exo and one of the rappers could've been South Korean too or smth, and this skinline coul've had the same success as K/DA. But riot decided to go the money hungry way and only chose them based on skin-buying popularity.
I'm going crazy over here what's that little song bit at 0:41 with Shaco
Cafe Cutie Rek'sai needs to spawn a little platter and some cups when she ults, like she's bringing your order to *YOU*
No. Skins take 4 months to make, Riot has shown us the full process.
I think they should have given Taric the legendary for Heartsteel and replaced him with Yone. Yone is already part of another music skinline, ocean song, and Taric was MADE for this. Imagine him with the floating drones as his gems unlike Yone who they gave drones to for absolutely no reason. Like, doesn't that just write itself? Him as the main filmmaker for the whole video? That'd be awesome and fitting with his thematic of a support. Of course he'd be doing his all to film everyone the coolest they can be for the video and giving them all the spotlight. Man, I want to make this. In fact, I'm going to. Imma make it. Expect that fanart soon, Nicky
but money
They should make a skinline that adds one new champ per year to it but the champions skin is a legendary that have lots of dialogue to respond to different champs and other champs of the skinline
LoL fans getting desperate for those VO updates huh
@@nunyabiznes7446 I just think it would be something new
since i saw a fanart of braum, graves, gragas and taric KDA, i don't think straight anymore
I think that street demons could've really taken any of the wild and chaotic gunner adc champions and made them work. Jinx, Zeri, Jhin, they all could work if you simply give them a paintball gun
Street demons with actual demons. Fiddlesticks, Evelynn, Tahm Kench, Nocturne and Swain
Sett being in the heart steel was to satisfy those cat ears lovers ig
I think the real missed potential was Riot not following up on that dumb reference to Viego being the main villain in the cafe cuties universe. Cafe Cuties Viego would be so fucking funny.
Winterblessed Ruination with Yorick as the big bad would have been awesome man
Still haven't made Christmas themed toymaker Ornn. Q is a pile of presents, ult is a wooden train. W could be snow breath
I think Cafe Cuties Ziggs could work well, where instead of bombs he chucks cherry-topped cupcakes...that happen to have bombs inside of them, sure, but they're still cupcakes!
Yone in Heartsteel has such an amazing mask in the music video, the red and black Kitsune mask yet ONCE AGAIN, he doesn’t use it IN GAME.
Yorick hat all over again lmao
2:16 THANK YOU, THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TELLING PPL!!! But it's always "no geralt, skins are supposed to put champions in different themes and universes." UM- HELLLOOOO YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT THEY WOULDN'T HAVE HAD BETTER SALES ON BOTH SKINS? ALSO WHO TF ASKED.. FOR COVEN AKALI... AND SOUL FIGHTER LUX...?
The rioter responsible for Jax is the one who pushed for pool party Zoe
Im still baffled that they still have yet to make Highnoon Graves to this day. I guess to Riot it is "too obvious" of a choice :p
Rakan got so shafted from Heartsteel, my boi didn't deserve that.
He was literally perfect for the support role in Heartsteel.
Hwei should've released with Street Demons and Briar should've released with Winter Blessed. Brair with a Christmas tree as he binds would be so good. And Hwei is already a painter.
Also as for Heartsteel, I feel Aphelios should've been swapped for Rakan
Also, Zoe was released in 2017 and her Pool Party was released in 2018, so that's over a year apart. Time to learn the timeline
Not over a year, 9 months apart, which would still be the normal amount of time in between skins
I think that Akshan would've fit so well in Heartsteel, even if not a band member he could have been hilarious as their agent/manager, Yone doesn't really bring much to the table
5:49 wait what i thought zeri had that skin no waay
Not sure how much this counts as "missed potential" but fuck it, even as a Kayn fan I still don't think he should've gotten the legendary for Heartsteel. I know some people like how Riot took the skin in a different direction by making Rhaast an alter ego of Kayn, but imo, Rhaast was the main thing that separated Kayn and made him more interesting than all the other edgy anime-inspired champs in the game, and their dynamic was the best part of their last legendary skin. And Heartsteel Kayn just feels like it's trying to be Odyssey Kayn but worse, from similar designs with the high collared coat, eyepatch, and ditching Kayn's giant braid, to the same flamboyant perfectionist flaunting in his voicelines, to even trying to give him and Rhaast that bickering "frenemies" dynamic despite Rhaast having no good reason to be interacting with Kayn in that way. Plus it takes away other opportunities for Kayn and Rhaast to have other legendaries that play with their dynamic, like maybe one where they're more like allies piloting the same body fucking Pacific Rim style, or one where the positions are flipped and Kayn is the one fighting for control from Rhaast, I feel like those ideas are just way more interesting than a skin deleting Rhaast as a person but also not really since Riot can't seemed to decide to fully commit to the alter ego idea either.
And as for who I think should've gotten the legendary, my vote goes to Aphelios. I thought making him a singer and taking the chance to give him voicelines would've been a great way to make a legendary than really reinvents the character and allows us to see more of his personality since we don't get a lot of that from his other skins (especially since he's shown to be a bit of a sassy trickster in Heartsteel), it would give Riot opportunity to go even crazier with his weapons and make them look even more like instruments, and I personally just don't like how Alune appears in the effects on this skin, it feels out of place for the role she has as the band's manager, so a legendary would allow Riot to change those effects to something flashier and more fitting.
TLDR since wow this got long: I don't like that Kayn got the legendary for Heartsteel, it should've gone to Aphelios, and I say this as a Kayn main.
Rammus ink demon where he leaves a paint trail and a big sploosh of paint when he lands the ult would be fantastic...
also Soul Fighter Lee sin would be a godlike skin in my opinion, and if they wanted a mage in the Soul Fighter universe wouldn't Ryze or Sylas fit better, or maybe Diana? Kha'zix would be cool in the Soul Fighter or Ink shadow skinline too...
Coven Janna being the legendary, iconic
