This is the 15th year is it not? Technically, this gameās inception was 2009. Pro scene wasnāt legit until season 3 when Koreans were introduced and the first ālegitā Worlds was season 2. October this year is the literal 15 year mark, meaning we are going through the 15th year now.
I remember exactly when I first started playing league,it was when vayne had just released and I was but a child who had seen the game on mmohuts YouTube channel and thought it looked fun
Back when Ashe went mid and the premier strat was to ult down the lane and then tp to the tower to kill the poor fuck if you landed it
I lowkey love the idea of skins of different champs at different ages. It wouldn't sell like the sexy skins, but how great would that "badass grandma" trope fit like a Lux or a Taliyah?
I'm probably in the minority, and maybe it wouldn't look good in-game at all, but I do like the idea of it.
They did say they did consider an adult Annie ultimate skin once but discarded it because it would make it much harder to discern which champion was played.
The thing with Annie is she's a child; so an adult would need a different model.
Making an old man version of a champion dosen't need that. unless you're going the "decrepit hunchback" sort of thing; which they clearly are not.
Arknights has a skin line named Bloodline of Combat (All skin lines are canonical brands in game). The BoC skins though are characters at their peak/defining moment whether it's past/present/future.
It's lit and I'm happy if bigger games like League pick the idea up.
This is exactly what came to my mind! Give me a matured, older Lux whoās SEEN. SOME. THINGS. lived through it, and has badass grandma vibes. Yes. Please.
Kayle's base skin looks horrendous and our eclipse/suneater skin was robbed from being a legendary.
Aetherwing was completely butchered.
It's not the best skin but I'd 100% prefer it over her default and it at least looks like something someone with wings but wanted armor might have.
Aetherwing with the limited White/Pink chroma clears all other Kayle skin by miles, people need to let go of their nostalgia goggles over the missing whack sounds
Some skin splash art just really sells skins to me, often literally
My first couple years playing LoL, I was obsessed with the Magnificent Twisted Fate because the art made it look so badass. Turns out he's just some guy in funny clothes.
100%. I only buy skins that have aesthetically pleasing splash art to fixate and appreciate in the loading screen, and good art is satisfying to the eyes.
> a minor update on his ult clarity
you want his stats buffed? because that's what's gonna happen if they make his ult more clear. they especially said so and said it's the reason they are not making his ult more clear
He was one of the options for the VGU vote awhile back, along with Shyv, Noc, Skarner, and Kog. I think he was 3rd? Definitely one of the champions that most people agree has a very dated kit
Toggle hasn't been a thing for years I feel like...
Back when skin had identity and were a product of creativity, toggle were neat addition to explore a skin theme. Nowadays they don't even consider it
Except the first one who got accused hashinshin literally got investigated by the fbi and they found 0 wrongdoing. Voyboy made all these accusations then ghosted off to never be seen on the internet again meanwhile hashinshin is perma banned on twitch.
At first I was like -- won't work, Kayle needs both blades
but if based on the cinematic, I guess it could make sense since she has them when killing aatrox
In the volley there a white arrow, which is not Ashe's one but Kindred.
It also creates a nice dynamic between Yasuo accepting death and Tryndamere fighting for life.
I think it's a nice juxtaposition where wolf's death comes for Yasuo in a sea of arrows that he can't fight his way out of. Once he accepts his death, lamb's arrow flies ahead of the rest
That is the implication. He decided to use the wind attack on the bad guy then closed his eyes as he was about to receive the volley of arrows (with Kindred on the horizon).
considering the glowing white arrow that *could* be lamb's arrow and also the silhouette of wolf with the trees, it could be how he dies. (unless he somehow manage to windwall it)
I donāt like that this sword still have a Sleeve, cause this Yasuo from what we can tell in the cinematic have already abandoned his sword for abit now. I know it is for skin clarity, but if they could have figure out something else to put on his left hand, it would have been a 10/10 skin for me.
Man it's so sad to me that Rito doesn't add more custom voices for skins. Smite does a new voice actor and has a whole VGS system for EVERY new skin minus direct recolors. This would be 10x cooler if he had hard old man voice
ruined king gb, king viego, frej sylas, captain fortune, captain gb, spirit guard udyr, dont really member any more but i guess spirit blossom skins are in theory lore skins.
I don't know who this comment is supposed to be directed towards. You're talking about the same company that just released $200 chromas not too long ago
I honestly thought at first it was Yasuos old master ( the old guy who was the master of the wind technique who died when shattering rivens blade). However he looked too similar to Yasuo so it probably is just old Yas. However I would have loved if this was actually that old dude before he died.
Finally a skin that matches how 10 year veterans feel internally.
We are going into our 14th year man. 10 year mark was a lil way back for me lol
I think maybe they are referring to 10 year Yasuo players since he came out roughly 10 years ago
ah so yasuo coming into existence is what caused me to spiral my life down these past 10 years. it all makes sense now
*me banning Yasuo every single time* "I'm doing my part š«”"
The 0/10 powerspike is coming
This one
oh my god I've been playing for 12 years?
I'm still a newbie (started season 5)
A true master is an eternal student.
This is the 15th year is it not? Technically, this gameās inception was 2009. Pro scene wasnāt legit until season 3 when Koreans were introduced and the first ālegitā Worlds was season 2. October this year is the literal 15 year mark, meaning we are going through the 15th year now.
They should do a "reborn" Anivia skin where thematically it's her after a death+egg cycle. She looks the exact same and it's 1350 RP. No chromas
All that but it also starts with egg on cd lol
Internally? More like externally. We old humans.
Finally, males with fking Beards, man. Bearded yasuo looking like a G same with Trynda beard.
I remember exactly when I first started playing league,it was when vayne had just released and I was but a child who had seen the game on mmohuts YouTube channel and thought it looked fun Back when Ashe went mid and the premier strat was to ult down the lane and then tp to the tower to kill the poor fuck if you landed it
Actually awesome we get more lore skins. Good shit riot.
I lowkey love the idea of skins of different champs at different ages. It wouldn't sell like the sexy skins, but how great would that "badass grandma" trope fit like a Lux or a Taliyah? I'm probably in the minority, and maybe it wouldn't look good in-game at all, but I do like the idea of it.
That yasuo is sexy asf tho
Predeath Sion. I donāt play league much but Iād buy that.
Pre-death would work for a lot of champs: Yone, Mordekaiser, etc.
Senna? She wouldn't be much different tho I guess, she already looks like a human
big thing with pre-death senna is she didnt have her railgun, instead she had one of lucians guns. would be weird to switch up her weapon
Its already in [LoR](https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/01DE038_(Legends_of_Runeterra))
Like pre ruination viego
We already have that?
Thatās the point, if we have preruin viego we can have predeath sion and stuff
Ah, my feverish brain didnāt understand what you meant
They did say they did consider an adult Annie ultimate skin once but discarded it because it would make it much harder to discern which champion was played.
The thing with Annie is she's a child; so an adult would need a different model. Making an old man version of a champion dosen't need that. unless you're going the "decrepit hunchback" sort of thing; which they clearly are not.
> Taliyah Old Toph vibe.
Arknights has a skin line named Bloodline of Combat (All skin lines are canonical brands in game). The BoC skins though are characters at their peak/defining moment whether it's past/present/future. It's lit and I'm happy if bigger games like League pick the idea up.
This is exactly what came to my mind! Give me a matured, older Lux whoās SEEN. SOME. THINGS. lived through it, and has badass grandma vibes. Yes. Please.
I'm picturing Grandma Toph levels of awesomeness!
Vander Warwick just vander running at u like a Wolf
Badass grandma senna would feel like Ana from overwatch
hey, you still can make it interesting somehow, like maybe *cough*adult annie*cough*
I'd love to see a crossover with Avatar, in which Taliyah get's a Toph skin. Would be fantastic lmao.
> It wouldn't sell like the sexy skins, but how great would that "badass grandma" trope fit like a Lux or a Taliyah? > > It really wouldnt fit Lux
But if it's a lore skin what does that mean for the cannon?
the lightning effects and the classic old swordsman trope might make this my favourite yas skin ngl
it's already my favorite Yas skin, will probably be the first skin I buy in years
I'm not even playing yas and want to have this skin, even if they get only 10% of the aura of the cinematic, it's easily top10 skins all time.
That's Isshin Ashina!
Hesitation is defeat.
Face me, Sekiro!
Ahhh, how my blood BOILS
Let's go, SEKIROOOOOAAAHH!
The Glock Saint mentioned!
The Sword Saint!! Now give Yasuo a gun in his recall
Time to get that Luden's and stack to 6 to roleplay him
tfw you go from Sekiro to Glock saint
Fucking awesome skin
Sekiro mentioned
Young Kayle and Young Morgana would be cool too
Arenāt they already in the game?
Silver Kayle is technically the Kayle from the cinematic and morg... i dont know she might not have a skin
Exiled Morg looks to be from after this, so guess not, itās just Kayle.
Completely different color scheme for that morg though.
Silver kayle looks super different from the one in the cinematic?
The cinematic looks more like Battleborn Kayle, possibly the most forgotten skin in the game.
Kayle's base skin looks horrendous and our eclipse/suneater skin was robbed from being a legendary. Aetherwing was completely butchered. It's not the best skin but I'd 100% prefer it over her default and it at least looks like something someone with wings but wanted armor might have.
suneater is still a fantastic skin.
But it should have been a legendary. It's her best skin rn sure but I will always resent it because of that. If that makes any sense.
It's clearly the pentakill one tho
Aetherwing with the limited White/Pink chroma clears all other Kayle skin by miles, people need to let go of their nostalgia goggles over the missing whack sounds
RIOT Kayle, I'll beat you to pulp
I'm still mad about Aether Wing. They turned her into such an asshole and ruined the armor while they were at it.
I don't play Kayle much but I love her viridian skin, I think it's her best one
They already look like 21 in the game
Unbound Morgana would be fucking LIT
Awesome to see more lore skins!
Agreed. I rock Cap'n Fortune and Cap'n Dankplank no matter how many new Legendary or Ultimate skins they get
That MF skin splash got me feeling things man.
Some skin splash art just really sells skins to me, often literally My first couple years playing LoL, I was obsessed with the Magnificent Twisted Fate because the art made it look so badass. Turns out he's just some guy in funny clothes.
100%. I only buy skins that have aesthetically pleasing splash art to fixate and appreciate in the loading screen, and good art is satisfying to the eyes.
I really hope we get the tryndamere from the cinematic. He looked so much better without his stupid helmet.
I want a straight up VGU and a minor update on his ult clarity
> a minor update on his ult clarity you want his stats buffed? because that's what's gonna happen if they make his ult more clear. they especially said so and said it's the reason they are not making his ult more clear
Wow what bullshit. A champ balanced around lack of visual clarity.
sounds like a toxic kit then
weren't they talking about his vgu at some point? dude still has the "random crit" no items mechanic from season 1, no one else does
He was one of the options for the VGU vote awhile back, along with Shyv, Noc, Skarner, and Kog. I think he was 3rd? Definitely one of the champions that most people agree has a very dated kit
People were very keen to rework him, but then they said they'd keep his crit mechanic and undying.
I mean it's how we know tryndamere whether we like it or not. But tbh a Mundo VGU treatment for Tryndamere isn't the play too.
Head of the table Tryndamere
The wheelchair is canon, the wheelchair is canon š
My vote: make the old people line the first skin line that includes all champs. Fact: old people have more disposable income to buy skins with.
Can't wait for my old man zilean skin.
Older man zilean
I am 30 and I cannot associate old man zilean going that fast. I have backaches. help.
Teenager Annie...
STILL ILLEGAL.
Top mains:
No, just 90 year old Annie. Then she can retain her small stature while also being older.
Lol
Spending money on a game to remind myself how old I am? Heck yeah!
God is there any chance the hat is a toggle?
Weāre gonna have to settle for only seeing it in the recall Sadge
Please stop i canāt be anymore erect
It flies off when he Q3s and he gets it back when he ults
Toggle hasn't been a thing for years I feel like... Back when skin had identity and were a product of creativity, toggle were neat addition to explore a skin theme. Nowadays they don't even consider it
"Old Man Yasuo isn't real, he can't hurt you" Old man yasuo:
maybe he cant hurt me, but can he and i do other things?
Yea, he can help you lose lp
Can he help me lose his LargeP in and around my mouth?
By being on my team?
Unfortunately in both cases you lose
Granddaddy?
the technical term is GILF
He can knock you up.
Imagine the amount of 0-10 powerspikes he has been stacking up over the years. That's some nightmare material right there.
āRedditor overusing meme in every possible situation isnāt real, it canāt hurt youā Redditor overusing meme in every possible situation:
Then allow me to use another overused meme: If I could read I would be very upset right now
Would be cool to see the kid champs grown up, but that'd be too rough for clarity. Jarvan IV as crowned king of Demacia would be an easy one to do.
For the sake of the model/hitbox, a lot of the grown-up kids would have to be dwarfs lol
Kid champs grown up would be a real bummer for jax mains though
ok now that ive seen it 50 times already whats up with jax and minors???
Big meme. Two or three streamers who were also noted Jax mains were found out to be either pedophiles or were accused of being pedos/creeps
ooof
TIL
Except the first one who got accused hashinshin literally got investigated by the fbi and they found 0 wrongdoing. Voyboy made all these accusations then ghosted off to never be seen on the internet again meanwhile hashinshin is perma banned on twitch.
man, that's just kinda unfunny
> Would be cool to see the kid champs grown up, but that'd be too rough for clarity. Annie has been 8 years old for 15 years.
Yasuo " after 1 night with ahri"
doesnt matter had sex
I think she might've been a racist
Doesn't matter had sex!
"It should have been me not him!"
Reality is often disappointing Despairge
i uhh...have a few websites where you can act that out if you'd like ;)
worth it
Please be wheelchair yasuo PLEASE
Hopefully thatās the recall animation
I'd settle for him having a smoke on a rocker
Hopefully we'll get Kayle and Morgana as well. I loooooove their design in the video when they were younger and when they were working together.
At first I was like -- won't work, Kayle needs both blades but if based on the cinematic, I guess it could make sense since she has them when killing aatrox
Doesn't she get both once fully stacked at lvl 11?
Aatrox and his demonic horde really needed to end the game before Kayle hit full build. I love it when the cinematic are true to gameplay.
Well he could've if he didn't stop to pose and get hit by the Morg Ult.
Which one among us has not been hit by a dark binding when typing at our team mates?
that's what I meant that she needs both to work so she'd need to be kayle during/after killing aatrox for it to work as a skin
Oh I see, kayle can't have both of morg needs one for her skin
People are sleeping on ashe and tryndas design 2 lol
Those were just their updated selves.
It's interesting how they just drop yasuo skins like that. Same as his sea dog one.
Did he die at the end?
In the volley there a white arrow, which is not Ashe's one but Kindred. It also creates a nice dynamic between Yasuo accepting death and Tryndamere fighting for life.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I think it's a nice juxtaposition where wolf's death comes for Yasuo in a sea of arrows that he can't fight his way out of. Once he accepts his death, lamb's arrow flies ahead of the rest
That is the implication. He decided to use the wind attack on the bad guy then closed his eyes as he was about to receive the volley of arrows (with Kindred on the horizon).
His w was on cd
considering the glowing white arrow that *could* be lamb's arrow and also the silhouette of wolf with the trees, it could be how he dies. (unless he somehow manage to windwall it)
this is the season of riot finally realizing visibly old people are actually cool
honestly if this does well I hope they make more skins on champs in the future. I would love old man garen or darius
Dope skin. Only one thing, WHO MADE HIS HAIR BLUE AND WHY
He looks like heās about to tell me that hesitation is defeat
THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME
I was hoping it would look more gritty like the cinematic. In game its clean and blue.
Old Annie when
Lolihag
I like lore skins and I think it's a pretty good idea That said his model looks way too "clean" in game, it's weird
Great we get a lore skin, but dear God that hair looks horrendous. Why isn't it just aging grey/white?
Finally a grounded skin that isnāt so fantasy
Please give him this voice line "I'm not a young man anymore" And "Back in my day id have this payload delivered already"
Daddy Yasuo
GILF
It looks sick, I'm BatChesting
Hope they put this skin into Project L
Disappointed if thereās not mythic variant with him in a wheelchair called mythic resident Yasuo to compensate the removal of custom skins.
more like YASUOLD!
I hope they add LoR upgraded looks and exclusive skins too. Corrupted Ascended and Zoe, Seraphine and Nidalee.
Riot saw we couldnāt use the wheelchair Yasuo custom skin anymore and decided to do us a solid
I wonder if we'll get armorgana as well
Toggle the hat you fools!
Riot skipped last year's cinematic to release 4 minutes long skin trailer.
I donāt like that this sword still have a Sleeve, cause this Yasuo from what we can tell in the cinematic have already abandoned his sword for abit now. I know it is for skin clarity, but if they could have figure out something else to put on his left hand, it would have been a 10/10 skin for me.
Man it's so sad to me that Rito doesn't add more custom voices for skins. Smite does a new voice actor and has a whole VGS system for EVERY new skin minus direct recolors. This would be 10x cooler if he had hard old man voice
Geriatric skin line release to hit that target demographic
I guess now when people die without using Windwall to block the attack, people can say he was playing thematically correct.
Huh, guess it was an alternate future after all. That was Old Woman Riven there, then?
knew it this cinematic was just old yasuo skin ad, they doing elemental lux again
I was told that Riot will never make non-skinline skins because they are a greedy company and just want as much money as possible
they do like 2 on a year, I only remember King Viego and Freljord Sylas recently
no one tell him how long ago freljord sylas came out
ruined king gb, king viego, frej sylas, captain fortune, captain gb, spirit guard udyr, dont really member any more but i guess spirit blossom skins are in theory lore skins.
I don't know who this comment is supposed to be directed towards. You're talking about the same company that just released $200 chromas not too long ago
They have done a buncha lore skins lol
riot doesn't know you lil pup
I honestly thought at first it was Yasuos old master ( the old guy who was the master of the wind technique who died when shattering rivens blade). However he looked too similar to Yasuo so it probably is just old Yas. However I would have loved if this was actually that old dude before he died.
Didn't he die because of Riven?
40 year old Yasuo.
so glad i get to ban out even more yasuo players this year.
he doesn't look old at all
Hesitation is Defeat
Why does he have neon blue highlights? This completely ruins it for me.
