i legit didn't know that her guns was alive until you pointed it out even though i saw the skin so many times in game and watch SkinSpotlights' video 💀💀💀
I understand. The gameplay with the new skin doesn't really emphasize that the weapons are alive, except for her two emotes. It's disappointing when the theme of living weapons could have been showcased more prominently throughout her abilities and animations.
GG MF isn't even that bad considering how it actually fits the criteria of an ultimate skin. A bit bland in terms of concept, sure, but it's a fun skin with fun dialogue that also expands on the lore of the Pulsefire universe.
I feel like the hate that GG MF got was completely unjustified because players were spoiled by Elementalist Lux. People who called GG the worst Ultimate skin probably didn't even know Pulsefire Ez was an Ultimate
Looking at the "Steel Valkyries", you can see MF skin didn't stand out at all. Even the kayle one is better And who would bring Pulsefỉe skin into this conversation, like the skin itself after rework isnt meant to make revenue Riot went down hill since GG Mf and it shown by looking at the seraphine skin
And you know what's the worst part is : Samira actually has a legendary skin ! It's on Wild rift. It's called Samira Chromacrash, it has everything we wanted, different animations, a real good looking ult, vibrant colors and it's justified in his price. In this skin, Samira tags when walking, her homeguard animation is her riding a sort of weird vehicle. So yes, We, as League of legends players, are getting cucked recently, I still consider Odyssey Kayn worth of an ultimate skin and I still love the skin to death. But the Viego skin looks promising.
Oddysey kayn in my opinion is best skin in the game , animations are good looking and change depending on your current state, has 38 minutes of dialogue and they perfectly changes regular kayn s and rhaast s relationship from edgy to really funny to listen to while still keeping seriousness in their quotes. I love when kayn insults rhaast and vice versa i love how skin potrayes them both as kayn maniacally laughs at rhaast after defeating him but still says stuff like he is missing him and how rhaast despite wanting to destroying all reality wants to have fun doing so and is kinda thankful to kayn
@pokemonlover4894 we are talking objective value here. Chromacrash is just a better skin factually. For literally all the reason listed above. U can subjectively not like the skin but u have to say it is more worth the price.
@@migu8328 Doesn't make It good just for having a different thematic, just look at the last 2 lux skins, good thematic, but horrible fit for her. It is worth a legenendaty the Chromocrash one, compared to Soul fighter being ultimate, but It doesn't click sadly.
I didn't even notice the skin had no new animations and that the guns were supposed to be alive. Damn, they hit a new low with this one. It's not even worth the Ultimate or Legendary title.
They acted (on Twitter) as if the ults appearance changing depending on the level is a new thing; as if Kayle doesn’t have an entire default model that changes forms and animations based on level,,, It feels like they thought about changing the appearance on Kayle’s ult for her midscope earlier in the year but instead saved it for this
It feels even more insulting when Riot kept insisting they "added so many things it had to be increased to Ultimate price" even though it has less quality new features than Winterblessed Diana and Empyrean Pyke, but knowing Riot they would increase those skins' price to 3250 if they could over decreasing this sad pathetic excuse down to 1820 (which is still not worth)
Damn riot doesn’t know what an ultimate skin is anymore. Is it actually that demanding of the game to have new transforming skins? Diana’s legendary literally changes the entire model and ability color when you press R mid battle. I feel like transforming your skin in your base with more time to load the skin should be less demanding right? I’m not a programmer tho so idk
Riot spaghetti code is to blame here. From what I know each skin is stored as an entire separate champion so when someone’s using an ultimate skin with several forms like elementalist Lux the game is forced to load a bunch of extra champions and the engine just wasn’t designed for that
@@sspectre8217 it's less of spaghetti code and more of just a super old engine, game can only handle some many resources at once. Wild Rift can get away with a whole lot more because despite being a mobile game it was built from the ground up to be ran on modern technology.

Would also like to mention that the pentakill animation is entirely and i mean entirely recycled. The initial explosion is used on samira respawn, the confetti, the screen and the lights are both found in the final version of the taunt. The only thing exclusive to the pentakill is the screen turning blue.

"We were working on this skin for months for you guys, it's rlly worth trust us 😭" -Months and: no new animations, no evolutions, no music in her style rank (this is something what samira mains are waiting bc she is a DMC reference), not interesting skin, only a dogshit pentakill animation with pretty colors in her base animations.

The problem is, they give legendaries to new champs like samira who already has good animations and not to champs like Zyra, Annie, Chogath, Nami, Nidalee, Elise, Lissandra, Syndra. Who need new animations and anyone who played them would get the legendary skin just to play their favorite champ updated. Hell if they just made a legendary skin for each old champ of their base model as an updated skin id love that and be ok with it until a rework but nope
Problem here is bigger because this skin is an Ultimate. But even creating Legendary skins without new animations like Ezreal, Sett, or Senna is bad because it doesn't have the vibe of a Legendary skin at all.

And what’s sad is that Samira hasn’t been given a real good chance ever. All her skins are fine and this puts a real bad mark on them. Her lore has been left unattended to besides lor adding a little story. Her appearance in other events has been lack luster with her just showing up just because. She’s an amazing character and design that’s has been left alone and never handled since. Defiantly not as bad as LoL’s basement of forgotten champs but she really had so much potential.
Lol. I immediately thought of the ruination event, where Riot literally went like "Oh look! Samira and Poppy! I'm sure they'll be in the event", only for them to completely disappeared from the event. Not to mention, Darius also didn't appear in ruination event, being replaced by Draven instead. Only Vayne, who I honestly am meh about, got the skin and some other champions. Also, Karma as well, but I like her skin. So, she's fine
Also, sorry to suddenly bring up Ruination, but damn, I'm still so upset Poppy wasn't part of the event. It could've been a great continuation to her lore, where either she leave behind her "finding the hero" era and move onward, either through finding out she's the hero or temporally putting aside her conquest on finding the hero and battle for the greater good
I've been pushing this idea several times now. A custom announcer exclusive for SF Samira that can also be heard by her teammates. That would make it less frustrating to buy.
Here is a free idea for the Rhito skin team, let the guns consume her in her abilities, imagine for her E, her red gun consumes her and she dashes as a red blur, with it fading at the end of the dash, her W her blue gun consumes her, whirling around, the skin change stays for a few seconds altering her abilities. Her red for could have a more aggressive animation, whilst blue more heavy of an animation.
other people have some brillant ideas, too. for example, she can AT LEAST have 2 versions, one is red and the other is blue, each has different emote, animation, vfx/sfx so on so forth. But us Samira mains have to inhale copium daily to hope riot would acknowledge the criticisms about the skin and make some decent changes in the next 2 weeks
@@minhkhangta7782 forget it, don't forget how they fucked up Sun Eater Kayle and GAVE LEGENDARY TO SIVIR WHICH MADE ZERO SENSE. Community backlash was the biggest they ever got and it changed nothing. "We'll take this information for our future skin lines" they said. We see now.
They reduced Gun Goddess' price down because of the feedback even though she had everything needed for an ultimate skin and then they come with this epic tier ultimate labelled garbage. Yeah I'll stick to my high noon thanks
It was planned to be a legendary but they said they keep adding more stuff that makes it an ultimate.... but they forgot to check that a lot of these stuff is something that we barely see. Getting 30 kills and a pentakill is quite difficult, people will hardly notice the damage number
@@saxophones1041 Diana ice skin cost 1820 and she got pentakill animation, this is strange riot decited to make it cost that much when it offers so little
@@arturkrzowski2492 well samira skin has more than the pentakill animation even though it's really minimal but I think they were afraid of releasing this as a normal legendary because some people will see this skin as the status quo and that all legendary skin should be like this Like knowing league fans I find it understandable that it's hard to please them all but they really should've went with the legendary+ tier to avoid all of this drama
1 shitty skin doesn’t mean the quality of skins have gone down. Apart from this pretty much all modern legendary skins they’ve released have been bangers
You don't have to tell me twice that there not putting in the work anymore taking xayah and rakans joint recall and just porting the WR Star Gardian skins intsted of making them fit into leuage pc star gardian standards at all so no suprise the first ultimate skin in ages be lacking
lmao though yeah theres this difference its not like "dude this skin is like way too cool we cant makes this a legendary at this point" its more like "hey actually, can we market this as an ultimate instead"
Sera's K/DA Ultimate skin is good. It's a story-based skin. From a bedroom artist to a superstar. I think some people just took Sera for granted. We'll get one emote, two icons & blue esscence.
@@JoshuaAlto I mean, I always loved sera's skin, i bought it on release hour. but its not wrong that it's objectively probably the worst "ultimate" out there, since its not a "skin" but "skins" but that doesn't mean the skins included are bad, literally just the passive music variations from all 3 skins already surpass the entirety of ultimate samira skin.
People just hate Seraphine for being Seraphine. Her skins are probably the prettiest and highest value considering how she gets new SFX and VFX for only 1350. If K/DA Sera came out later down the line instead of being a release skin, people would appreciate it a lot more because they will know the difference in production value.
Wow, this whole controversy flew past me. I actually contemplated on buying the skin but seeing how it reuses old animations definitely make reconsider...
Honestly, I saw a comment that said this on Reddit, I think a sick idea to make this feel ultimate would be to incorporate the dynamic music concept from Devil May Cry, since she is already a walking DMC reference. Imagine how sick it would be for music to play while in combat, having instruments added to the score with each Style rank, reaching its peak once you ult and staying that way until combat ends. Would still need work on her animations but AT LEAST she would have something new!
yeah that would be cool, kda eve is an example, whenever she's in stealth, the music from popstars or more starts playing and I think in kda akali's shroud too, so they could easily make samira play music while she hits her combos
they only had to make it so when she points with a finger the gun levitates and shoots on its own, that would have been enough to make it a little bit unique and not just a chroma
The skin isnt worth the price, sure. But calling it the worst skin in league of legends history is a brain dead take. We have actual UGLY skins and skins that don't provide anything other than being a recolor
With Samira happens the same as Katarina or Yi... assasins with high mobility and quick spells. You're paying for just the model. Buy a Kata skin? It will only change the daggers. A Yi skin? The healing will have another aura. What's there to expect?
Before they announced that skinline she will be in i really wanted her to have some badass skin and was praying for it to not be an anime skin . When they announced what skinline she will be in i really hoped that she will at least go extra over the top with this soul concept like not having guns at all and using her soul to shoot and cut people ... but what we got ? Anime style hot mommy with abs and no new animations
Would've been cool if she had fingerguns that manifested into energy cannons because "Cool anime logic." The whole Soul Fighter concept provides unlimited creativity when it comes to diverging from the champ's original concept, but Riot just always plays it safe it seems.
@@hknil8966 to be fair, Gwen's and Pyke's skins are more closely related to recurring anime tropes, but I get the point you are making in the instance of samira's.
Similar case to Irelia's "Legendary" which was actually an epic skin with higher price. How tf they make a skin like Battle Queen Katarina as a legendary and then make smth like Mythmaker Irelia (So called legendary) and SoulFighter Samira (So called Ultimate) it's funny.
Calling it an ultimate skin is a stretch but it's definitely a legendary im not sure if people notice but "modern" league champ get their animation reused for their legendary skin. Star guardian kai'sa and emperyean pyke reused a lot of their base animation with little to no change
im just hoping that they actually update this skin by the end of the event, to make it more spectacular. i think (i may be delusional) that this looks like a legendary for now, but due to certain plot points related to the soul fighter event, samira will become more powerful and her ultimare skin will be upgraded, but since we dont know anything of the lore of the event yet...
And now after hearing the community's feedback on the skin RITO considered Soul Fighter Samira as . . . . . . . . . . . . . . *A "CHARITY SKIN" Yes........ I AM NOT KIDDING ABOUT THAT*
This is a Legendary+ Skin at best. Modern Legendary Skins already has these features and VFX quality. (Especially those handled by Sir Haian) I'll wait for it in chests.
People actually hate when legendary skin on yi release and doesn't have a pentakill animation, more interaction, very simple alpha strike and no idle animation And then they made this samira and it looks more worst It actually have a pentakill animation but unlike pyke and diana her pentakill animation is boring... Riot actually doesn't listen to us LMAOOOOOO
I bought the Ezreal ultimate skin when it was released. Nowadays it's a bit outdated, but back then it was incredible that your outfit completely changed during your game - and in a logical way with that you become more advanced the further the game goes and you level up your ultimate. The icon was a bonus, although I don't care much for icons. This skin is just a joke, which is really disappointing. Although I don't play Samira much, she has so much potential with her kit.
Imagine charging 30$ for an epic skin with a voiceover lol Feel bad for Samira mains, Riot thought they were making a Lux/Ahri skin and decided to shamelessly try to milk them I also feel bad how the quality of everything is going down, Legendaries used to have 20+ min of voice lines... every passing day = hitting a new low
And this is why people are questioning if riot is even invested in league anymore vs them funneling their budget and man power into their upcoming "mmo" or Valorant.
Yup agree with this video. Riot is putting less effort and quality for a higher price. This “ultimate” skin is just a scam and buying it is saying “Riot, I know that you’re putting me in a doghouse, but I like being treated so poorly, so take my money and do it again”
I mean Katarina BQ its to good for to be a legendary and should be ultimate. Meanwhile Samira's Ultimate its too bad for a ultimate skin but its to good for a legendary
yeah riot didn't want to make BQ Kitty Cat an ultimate because they were greedy or something, for no reason she can change her daggers ingame but the chromas cost rp
This is actually the second time Riot marked up prices for less content. Valorants recent Black Market skin featured no new Animations, no color variants, no vfx, no sfx, no kill animation, no buddy, no card, none of the extras - it merely had a new interaction of having slightly different coloring depending on side with the addition of the new Models. And it was merely 10 bucks cheaper than the newest bundle that features new animations, color variants, vfx, sfx, kill animations, alternative models, a buddy, a card, MUSIC. So this might be a trend for Riot. Reduce effort, increase prices.
i feel bad for samira, uninteresting design (basically DMCxLeague of Legends), created only to be unreasonably strong at release to sell skins, and when she finally settled nicely in the meta they forget about her and only try to revive her by pretending to have created a new ultimate skin
And the ironic thing is they released a developer post and said: "We kept adding and adding to Samira's skin and we decided it can't be legendary anymore." Where are the thing they added? Am I missing something?
I think you're definitely over exaggerating the idea that this is the "worst skin," it's like in the middle of being an Ultimate and a legendary skin it looks good, some of the points you made are definitely valid though
Yeah, but I think he is considering the price/quality relation to evaluate the skin. A skin that has almost no new animations should not be even considered Legendary. And this skin is at a full price of an Ultimate skin
I thought this would be a Legendary skin and not an Ultimate one... Because it doesn't feel like an ultimate... What I also noticed from Pulsefire Ezreal up until to K/DA All out Seraphine... they either have an evolution or a form change Pulsefire Ezreal - Evolves as he levels-up Spirit Guard Udyr - Changes forms at different stances DJ Sona - Music and form changes when you press Ctrl + 5 Elementalist Lux - Choose a combination of elements through hitting her skills on enemy champions Gun Goddess Miss Fortune - Change form when at base K/DA All out Seraphine - Choose a form when at champion picking and there's Soul Fighter Samira having a unique Pentakill and taunt animation. I really love using Samira but the skin she is having isn't screaming as an Ultimate. I'm sorry, I''m disappointed at Riot at this point. If they wanted to have a killing machine Samira, then she should have looked more unbound, elated, and ecstatic as she gets more kills.
I received 10 icons, 1 ward, and champion, when i purchased Elementalist Lux back then $20, not including the border cuz im two months late after the skin release. Garena also renamed her as "Queen Luxanna" and later changed it to original, just sharing.

Wow, what a toxic individual THE SKIN IS FOR CHARITY.. I wonder how you're going to raise kids with your mentality
I agree, we should boycott it , until they listen to their communautie.
"Biggest Budget " btw
I've been pushing this idea several times now. A custom announcer exclusive for SF Samira that can also be heard by her teammates. That would make it less frustrating to buy.
seeing the difference in dialogue from 2017-2023 is sad
Wow, i hadn't noticed that her animations were the same as base samira. Riot really messed this one huh
dark cosmic erasure jhin: *allow me to introduce myself*
Here is a free idea for the Rhito skin team, let the guns consume her in her abilities, imagine for her E, her red gun consumes her and she dashes as a red blur, with it fading at the end of the dash, her W her blue gun consumes her, whirling around, the skin change stays for a few seconds altering her abilities. Her red for could have a more aggressive animation, whilst blue more heavy of an animation.
vore
other people have some brillant ideas, too. for example, she can AT LEAST have 2 versions, one is red and the other is blue, each has different emote, animation, vfx/sfx so on so forth. But us Samira mains have to inhale copium daily to hope riot would acknowledge the criticisms about the skin and make some decent changes in the next 2 weeks

@@minhkhangta7782 forget it, don't forget how they fucked up Sun Eater Kayle and GAVE LEGENDARY TO SIVIR WHICH MADE ZERO SENSE. Community backlash was the biggest they ever got and it changed nothing. "We'll take this information for our future skin lines" they said. We see now.
@@krulak292the fact that pizza sivir is still a much better skin than that "legendary".
It's all about the Penta kill animation.
They reduced Gun Goddess' price down because of the feedback even though she had everything needed for an ultimate skin and then they come with this epic tier ultimate labelled garbage. Yeah I'll stick to my high noon thanks
The funny thing is that in the voice, she said that her weapons don’t need reload but we still have reloading animation, what tf riot??
sir, the quality has not declined, it has hit the rock bottom
wait what ? this skin doesn;t cost 1820 ? I thought people are trolling by writing its gonna cost 3250
Unfortunately not
It was planned to be a legendary but they said they keep adding more stuff that makes it an ultimate.... but they forgot to check that a lot of these stuff is something that we barely see. Getting 30 kills and a pentakill is quite difficult, people will hardly notice the damage number
@@saxophones1041 Diana ice skin cost 1820 and she got pentakill animation, this is strange riot decited to make it cost that much when it offers so little
@@arturkrzowski2492 well samira skin has more than the pentakill animation even though it's really minimal but I think they were afraid of releasing this as a normal legendary because some people will see this skin as the status quo and that all legendary skin should be like this
Like knowing league fans I find it understandable that it's hard to please them all but they really should've went with the legendary+ tier to avoid all of this drama
@@saxophones1041 what even happens on 30 kills?
1 shitty skin doesn’t mean the quality of skins have gone down. Apart from this pretty much all modern legendary skins they’ve released have been bangers
2 months later Riot decided to clown on this video by dropping Cosmic Erasure Jhin
quality of skins since 2020 hasn't declined
Even Gun-goddess Miss Fortune is WAY better with 4 different forms and it’s even cheaper than Samira’s
You don't have to tell me twice that there not putting in the work anymore taking xayah and rakans joint recall and just porting the WR Star Gardian skins intsted of making them fit into leuage pc star gardian standards at all so no suprise the first ultimate skin in ages be lacking
Riot Creative Design Team: oh we added so many things to this skin, it HAS to be ultimate.
The skin:
lmao
though yeah theres this difference
its not like "dude this skin is like way too cool we cant makes this a legendary at this point"
its more like "hey actually, can we market this as an ultimate instead"
The quality of skins hasnt declined
Bruh i feel sad treating seraphine so bad before
its literally 3 legendaries instead of 1. lmfao we get a new worst ultimate
Sera's K/DA Ultimate skin is good. It's a story-based skin. From a bedroom artist to a superstar. I think some people just took Sera for granted. We'll get one emote, two icons & blue esscence.
@@JoshuaAlto I mean, I always loved sera's skin, i bought it on release hour.
but its not wrong that it's objectively probably the worst "ultimate" out there, since its not a "skin" but "skins"
but that doesn't mean the skins included are bad, literally just the passive music variations from all 3 skins already surpass the entirety of ultimate samira skin.
People just hate Seraphine for being Seraphine. Her skins are probably the prettiest and highest value considering how she gets new SFX and VFX for only 1350.
If K/DA Sera came out later down the line instead of being a release skin, people would appreciate it a lot more because they will know the difference in production value.
Lol no still deserved
I literraly thought that the samira skin was only a legendary skins when it was released but now i see why this skin sucks compared to others
Wow, this whole controversy flew past me. I actually contemplated on buying the skin but seeing how it reuses old animations definitely make reconsider...
🤓🤓
apparently if you fly forward in your homeguard, its copy and pasted
Its still one of the most beautiful skins in the game. So worth
Honestly, I saw a comment that said this on Reddit, I think a sick idea to make this feel ultimate would be to incorporate the dynamic music concept from Devil May Cry, since she is already a walking DMC reference. Imagine how sick it would be for music to play while in combat, having instruments added to the score with each Style rank, reaching its peak once you ult and staying that way until combat ends. Would still need work on her animations but AT LEAST she would have something new!
yeah that would be cool, kda eve is an example, whenever she's in stealth, the music from popstars or more starts playing and I think in kda akali's shroud too, so they could easily make samira play music while she hits her combos
It's not even legendary tier, this is a 1350 skin, and that's being generous
the MF skin was priced cheaper cuz of its quality while this is 3250 💀💀💀💀💀
Bro, no shot they only changed her idle animation... Riot has so many great legendary skins, but this is truly an L and a big one for sure.
She doesn’t even HAVE an idol animation. Ultimate skin btw :)
they only had to make it so when she points with a finger the gun levitates and shoots on its own, that would have been enough to make it a little bit unique and not just a chroma
The skin isnt worth the price, sure. But calling it the worst skin in league of legends history is a brain dead take. We have actual UGLY skins and skins that don't provide anything other than being a recolor
With Samira happens the same as Katarina or Yi... assasins with high mobility and quick spells. You're paying for just the model. Buy a Kata skin? It will only change the daggers. A Yi skin? The healing will have another aura. What's there to expect?
Before they announced that skinline she will be in i really wanted her to have some badass skin and was praying for it to not be an anime skin . When they announced what skinline she will be in i really hoped that she will at least go extra over the top with this soul concept like not having guns at all and using her soul to shoot and cut people ... but what we got ? Anime style hot mommy with abs and no new animations
Would've been cool if she had fingerguns that manifested into energy cannons because "Cool anime logic." The whole Soul Fighter concept provides unlimited creativity when it comes to diverging from the champ's original concept, but Riot just always plays it safe it seems.
@@hknil8966 to be fair, Gwen's and Pyke's skins are more closely related to recurring anime tropes, but I get the point you are making in the instance of samira's.
where does this look like anime to you?
@@inplane9970 this is not anime though
Totally agree with you. I've been playing since season 2, and it's shameful how Riot has invested less and less in content over time.
like damn this skin LOOKS amazing bur the lack of new animation is just heartbreaking
They could have done a supreme space groove Samira, doing funky and dance animation with her weapons alive😭 what a chance they had
Riot just doesn't try anymore do they
I was knida hyped when i saw the animated Splashart but thats it, the skin is SO MID and the ingame model looks so messy we cant read it porperly
I love this skin tbh, it reminds me of DMC that I found amazing
Similar case to Irelia's "Legendary" which was actually an epic skin with higher price. How tf they make a skin like Battle Queen Katarina as a legendary and then make smth like Mythmaker Irelia (So called legendary) and SoulFighter Samira (So called Ultimate) it's funny.
Don't forget sivir's legendary
@@rageraven7989 yup it's dogshit too
@@YamiEryie yeah... I wish kayle had that legendary 😢 sivir deserves more too...
I think it is good enough to be a 1820rp skin, but an ultimate!? Hell nah
Thanks for your accurate infos, made my changed my opinion (I actually quite liked the skin and didn't see it's issues).
itsa TRAGEDY*
dude...chillout is just a skin
Calling it an ultimate skin is a stretch but it's definitely a legendary im not sure if people notice but "modern" league champ get their animation reused for their legendary skin. Star guardian kai'sa and emperyean pyke reused a lot of their base animation with little to no change
both skin u mentionned are legendary not ultimate :) so, point not valid here
@@florent6364You missed the other point talking about how SF Samira is on par with a legendary skin!
@@florent6364 Reading the first part of the comment helps
tbh empyrean pyke had already amazing animations and feels very different from the rest of his skins
@@flops1792 his ult especially, it looks so good
this skin is better then elementalist lux and pulsefire ezreal.
I still think the 200$ glorified chromas are worse tbh (at least in price to product ratio).
This is a legendary+, I remember what riot said and this is what it feels like
Can someone send this video to Riot, they are so shameless
Riot: "We do not care."
at first they made epic skins and labeled them as legendary, now they make epic skins and label them as ultimate???
Ultimate skins should be a basically a VU like what they did to Old udyr and Old SGU. Buying old SGU was so worth it back then
im just hoping that they actually update this skin by the end of the event, to make it more spectacular. i think (i may be delusional) that this looks like a legendary for now, but due to certain plot points related to the soul fighter event, samira will become more powerful and her ultimare skin will be upgraded, but since we dont know anything of the lore of the event yet...
And now after hearing the community's feedback on the skin RITO considered Soul Fighter Samira as

*A "CHARITY SKIN" Yes........ I AM NOT KIDDING ABOUT THAT*
nft skin
This is a Legendary+ Skin at best. Modern Legendary Skins already has these features and VFX quality. (Especially those handled by Sir Haian) I'll wait for it in chests.
Great video, really layed out the issues perfectly!
imagine u have a ultimate skin but u cant change the map like Pike and Diana XD
People actually hate when legendary skin on yi release and doesn't have a pentakill animation, more interaction, very simple alpha strike and no idle animation
And then they made this samira and it looks more worst
It actually have a pentakill animation but unlike pyke and diana her pentakill animation is boring...
Riot actually doesn't listen to us LMAOOOOOO
Samira saying that the best part about soul guns was no reloading
And then her animation...
I bought the Ezreal ultimate skin when it was released. Nowadays it's a bit outdated, but back then it was incredible that your outfit completely changed during your game - and in a logical way with that you become more advanced the further the game goes and you level up your ultimate. The icon was a bonus, although I don't care much for icons.
This skin is just a joke, which is really disappointing. Although I don't play Samira much, she has so much potential with her kit.
There is a very easy fix to this skin
Slap a 1350 rp price and you got a decent skin
*I miss the old essence of ultimate skin in the future riot will end their game by their own hands*
Imagine charging 30$ for an epic skin with a voiceover lol
Feel bad for Samira mains, Riot thought they were making a Lux/Ahri skin and decided to shamelessly try to milk them
I also feel bad how the quality of everything is going down, Legendaries used to have 20+ min of voice lines... every passing day = hitting a new low
Odyssey Kayn has it all
Its worth 1350 at best for me
And this is why people are questioning if riot is even invested in league anymore vs them funneling their budget and man power into their upcoming "mmo" or Valorant.
Yup agree with this video. Riot is putting less effort and quality for a higher price. This “ultimate” skin is just a scam and buying it is saying “Riot, I know that you’re putting me in a doghouse, but I like being treated so poorly, so take my money and do it again”
She even says on her voice lines that " The best part of souls guns, no need to reload" but stills does the reload animation hahah
I mean Katarina BQ its to good for to be a legendary and should be ultimate.
Meanwhile Samira's Ultimate its too bad for a ultimate skin but its to good for a legendary
The new skin for Samira is so bad that it doesn't even deserve to be called legendary.
yeah riot didn't want to make BQ Kitty Cat an ultimate because they were greedy or something, for no reason she can change her daggers ingame but the chromas cost rp
Yea, I think it is the shittiest "Ultimate" of all time. Almost no effort seen to really make it unique. Riot did a HORRENDUS job on this.
This is actually the second time Riot marked up prices for less content. Valorants recent Black Market skin featured no new Animations, no color variants, no vfx, no sfx, no kill animation, no buddy, no card, none of the extras - it merely had a new interaction of having slightly different coloring depending on side with the addition of the new Models. And it was merely 10 bucks cheaper than the newest bundle that features new animations, color variants, vfx, sfx, kill animations, alternative models, a buddy, a card, MUSIC.
So this might be a trend for Riot. Reduce effort, increase prices.
i feel bad for samira, uninteresting design (basically DMCxLeague of Legends), created only to be unreasonably strong at release to sell skins, and when she finally settled nicely in the meta they forget about her and only try to revive her by pretending to have created a new ultimate skin
Well, I only use this skin because I find it in a reroll. Didn't know it was so lackluster since I haven't checked any other ultimate skin.
For me it was soo strange that they didnt added music on dance animation
I think the skin is amazing, if u dont have the money dont blame others and dont cry… goddamn this players.
And the ironic thing is they released a developer post and said: "We kept adding and adding to Samira's skin and we decided it can't be legendary anymore." Where are the thing they added? Am I missing something?
I think you're definitely over exaggerating the idea that this is the "worst skin," it's like in the middle of being an Ultimate and a legendary skin it looks good, some of the points you made are definitely valid though
Yeah, but I think he is considering the price/quality relation to evaluate the skin.
A skin that has almost no new animations should not be even considered Legendary. And this skin is at a full price of an Ultimate skin
If im gonna pay for anything for +1820 im expecting fresh animations to make the character look smoother
I thought this would be a Legendary skin and not an Ultimate one... Because it doesn't feel like an ultimate...
What I also noticed from Pulsefire Ezreal up until to K/DA All out Seraphine... they either have an evolution or a form change
Pulsefire Ezreal - Evolves as he levels-up
Spirit Guard Udyr - Changes forms at different stances
DJ Sona - Music and form changes when you press Ctrl + 5
Elementalist Lux - Choose a combination of elements through hitting her skills on enemy champions
Gun Goddess Miss Fortune - Change form when at base
K/DA All out Seraphine - Choose a form when at champion picking
and there's Soul Fighter Samira having a unique Pentakill and taunt animation. I really love using Samira but the skin she is having isn't screaming as an Ultimate. I'm sorry, I''m disappointed at Riot at this point. If they wanted to have a killing machine Samira, then she should have looked more unbound, elated, and ecstatic as she gets more kills.
I bet you samira mains will still buy this skin no matter what
samira main here and no there is no way i'm buying this scam
No i won't
samira main here and no there is no way I'm buying this scam
I will
Most samira mains agreed to not buying it already
Honestly riot, just lower the damn price already
I received 10 icons, 1 ward, and champion, when i purchased Elementalist Lux back then $20, not including the border cuz im two months late after the skin release.
Garena also renamed her as "Queen Luxanna" and later changed it to original, just sharing.
Aatrox have 33 minutes of dialogue
I was actually thinking about buying this skin but now im going to wait or stand down until they either fix this one or make a new/better
There is a whole abyss between ultimate skins in the league and arcana skins in Dota 2.
Even the difference between common skins is so huge.
Rito you have one job...
I've never realised the animations are so close to the original until now. That's crazy.
Yes, unfortunately many legendary skins have been in such a situation, but an ultimate skin? That's really going too far.
@@Terty And watch legendary Viego be better than this one when it gets released. Two legendary skins couldn't be made by the same team so I guess that one has different people on the team.
i love how battle queen katarina is more of an ultimate skin than whatever this is
