@@Mossymushroomfrog18 yeah, i've seen among the Vex concepts a yordle that wielded stone like shields/walls on both sides of the character, thats what i want for the next tank yordle (whenever RITO decides to do it)
I love how you can hear the dark undertones creeping up in the beginning. It starts out with the whimsical and fairy tale essence of Bandle City. The mix of these two really highlight Vex's character: a dark presence in a region filled of sunshine; an outsider who doesn't seem to belong. Amazing work!
I love the way Yordles keep mimicking the places they live in to the extremes, like how living in the Shadow Isles has Vex be this necromantic umbral powerhouse but also a stereotypical edgy teenager, or Poppy in Demacia being this absolute paragon paladin but also totally blind to the terrible crimes her nation is inflicting on its own people. Kled is a martial powerhouse but also a hillbilly nutjob parodying imperialism. Heimerdinger in Piltover, Ziggs in Zaun, etc. It makes me want to see Shuriman, Targonian, Ixtali, and Freljordian yordles.
Shuriman Yordle is Amumu, you can see Targonian yordles in LoR, and for Ixtali, since ixtali is a part of Shurima you can say that Amumu also covers Ixtali (technically)
I love how the song went from calm, to intense, softer, silent, then back to intense. This is quite a twist for a Yordle, also I love looking at the arts too
Gothic, Edgy, and Epic. Also sounds like modern Castlevania music style gonna be. This theme 100% for Vex personality and her lore (the percussion really shows that she's not ordinary Yordle)
Hahaha ironic, because those who have that personality in real life, they call them pathetic, but good if for you Walking through life is a lot of "personality", okay
@@Abvgdejziklmnoprst a yordle that isn’t super extra and upbeat like literally ever other yordle we’ve seen so your wrong she is unique in this lore at the very least
I will never get tired of seeing the concept arts and everything that went into making the champion. Really makes you appreciate how much work the design team puts into these champs
looking at some of the early concepts, they made a tradeoff, she had to stop looking threatening to start looking pissed or careless. Is interesting to know that the artists actually had the idea of making a genuinely threatening Yordle, Veigar is kinda strong but is Veigar, and Gnar is more like the hulk (an inconsistent threat).
Down alone beneath the grove, Lies a little yordle, sadness beckons she drove, For differ to those you might quite expect, Behind bright cheerful smiles and vibrant of speck. For Vex, she is, the doom gloom extraordinaire, With shadows and sorrows hung stiffly in the air. For do not be deceived by her obvious display, For the darkness was there, she revel to this day.
The music has some dissonance, which matches Vex's messed up personality. Love how the xylophone and electric guitar mix. Despite being an edgy emo 12 year old, Vex is still a whimsical yordle.
Notice how she got along with Viego, and Viego is also represented with dissonances in his own theme. And well, the whole concept for his Pentakill persona is dissonance as well.
Some of these concepts could literally be entirely separate yordle champions on their own and you'd never know it was originally a Vex concept if they never showed it or told you. A lot of these look REALLY cool. A beast tamer yordle? A rock bending yordle with chaotic energy? A yordle dual weilding various weapons? A yordle using a magical staff? You'd never know.
@@Ayahuasca98 easy yes, but they don't have easy kits. most of them have pretty bloated kits on release, and are still easy to play, which is the main reason so many people cry about the op new champions, because they are way too easy for their full and gigantic kits. vex was a nice exception, as she has a pretty simple kit, but leaves room for skill expression in the mechanics of her gameplay, and not the other way around.
Then he wouldn’t be sad anymore, and Vex wouldn’t want to be friends with him, which would make him sad and make Vex wanna be friends with him again. A vicious cycle.
Not the kind of song I'd put in my playlist and listen to on repeat, but the Riot Music Team had a feel they were going for and I think they hit it perfectly. 10/10
Possibly the best designed Champion for me, certainly up there with Zoe, Jhin, and Neeko. Vex has great animations, well designed character model, works really well in the game engine, and the voice lines are too good. 10/10 for me, give the entire team that worked on her a bonus.
I would have loved vex's shadow to be a pair of ghost hands for her. I dunno I like that design a lot, and even if it does make her seem like a brawler, that design is still awesome
@@NoU-tt9nl just spooky but trying to make it sound cuter by not using a hard sounding letter (aka k) Similar to "UwU" speech. Since softer k sounds like p, thus spoopy.
1:38 ❗I WISH CONCEPT [E] WAS VEX. The face reminds me of Crona from "Soul Eater" for some reason. Plus it radiates more "gloomist" than the current as what we have now is just rude angst.
yeah, but vex's current desgin fits into the idea yordles are supposed to be parodies of regions or champions. Just as Kled is a parody of Noxian Warband pride and Veigar is a parody of Mordekaiser, trying to imitate his evilness the best he can and absolutely failing. I can see Vex being a parody of Viego and the Shadow Isles, a place where the only thing you'll get is suffering (something that Vex absolutely loves) and the idea of her being an angsty teen is perfect when applied to her being a parody of Viego. The guy just radiates angst and fake deep energies wherever he goes and Vex totally digs it. It's just an act, a phase we could say. Her shadow really shows who she is, the shadow being optimistic, mostly laughing and dancing when Vex seems to hate it. It's her yordle side which she wants to "put behind her". TL;DR the current design better fits her personality.
1:10 I like this concept so much. Riot, if you were to realease her as a champion, maybe even yuumi's master, it would be super nice imo. She doesn't look like vex at all, and she could be the artillery mage vex tournd out not being
Best champ of the year. She wants to be edgy and still she is cute! So good design. Congratulations Riot and especially the artists who had worked on Vex
And they are looking to continue in that trend more often from now on. See their recent blog post. Though they said that sometimes complicated champions will still make it to the rift
The song gives me odd vibes. It starts nice, fittin' the 'fairy'/yordle vibe. Then it turns into slight horror/monster, and then the droppin's that fit more for like, a character that snaps and intentionally kills for fun. And Vex, if she kills, looks like she'd do it because someone is trying to get her first and she, in her most uninterested way, will just smack'em with Shadow. Though that said, the song is really cool.
The fact that all the concepts for vex are so good, I wish they did all of them as different yordle champs. Plus the music, its perfection.
Would really like another tank yordle that's an earth bender like Taliah

I'm pretty sure they did the same thing with Camille and Kai'sa, with both of them branching off of one original design

this feels like the introduction of an anime villain
Not a main one, but a pretty OP one with a tragic story. Go listen to Morde or Viego to find out what a main villain theme is :)
This theme honestly could be put into a Tim Burton movie especially the beginning. I LOVE IT ❤
The first thing that came into mind too. But it's also a lot less whimsical. Or maybe it's a more violent type of whimsical
looking at some of the early concepts, they made a tradeoff, she had to stop looking threatening to start looking pissed or careless.

Honestly that splash art is so freaking cool, I love it
The Only Department of Riot that Does'nt Dissapoint
The concept art department is always popping off too, sadly the artists never have the last say...
Such a dumb take
Wow, I REALLY like those magical, fairy tale sounds in this horrific theme!
Wow all of the concept is really cool and also the theme song is Perfection
It's too bad they scrapped the double eye on Shadow. I still love what we got though!
I love how there is a soft side and a goth side to this whole theme

I had chills so many times lol
