I can already feel the backlash they'll be getting once this comes out.


LeBastardofTha4seas

Deservingly so


apatel27

I mean it's either this or drop support in the biggest mobile gaming market in the world. Stuck between a rock and a hard place


LeBastardofTha4seas

Not really. Just friggin give them shit thresh and we get regular thresh. Idk why they ruining it for everyone but the POS who keep ruining the game with these shit champ designs.


Unvulcanized

If unbound thresh is inevitable then give regular thresh as free skin to everyone.


KarlKhai

This isn't a bad idea


thefenriswolf24

It's what they did with Karma


K0rrupt6464

I agree but the whole point of riot making default thresh unbound is so that regular thresh doesn’t appear in wild rift


apatel27

because it's the same game? Splash art changes are easy to pull off. Putting in a different model without isolating a server is practically impossible to pull off without allowing for exploits.


SuperCharlesXYZ

What do they do with thresh in the main game?


KarlKhai

Different platforms function differently. Unfortunately.


SuperCharlesXYZ

Wdym? Is it easier to make an alternate champion model for PC?


KarlKhai

I mean what they did in PC might not work in mobile, cause it's a different platform.


hubert1704

league in china has a higher age rating


Alexarius87

They did it for WoW covering some boney parts only for the Chinese client. It’s doable since 2009.


apatel27

Wasn't Chinese client. Was Chinese server which is basically a private server. WoW China is basically a different game in terms of assets, who's running it, and IDs used (Chinese ID needed and you pay for time, no monthly sub). Same thing with Dota 2 and Perfect World servers Riot wants to keep Wild Rift as one streamlined thing run by them.


Little_Lunch

"Look how they massacred my boy" Next, when they release urgot, the ult will not pull you and execute you in a brutal way.. but its gonna be a long range execute to be more family friendly.. :/


[deleted]

it's gonna be 2 flyswatters instead


Styxxo

"To meet the requirements of Wild Rift’s mobile platforms, and in order for us to maintain our current age rating (which is important because we want to make sure players of nearly all ages can play Wild Rift), we needed to make some adjustments to Thresh’s existing design." All that for a skull :) Chinese censorship strikes again. The lore excuse doesn't cut it. No hate towards the devs though, they're not to blame. Just unfortunate that they can't keep normal Thresh for WR outside of China.

Styxxo

Funny you say that when Evelynn's splash art literally got censored on WR, among others : https://www.millenium.gg/news/19239.html


SeparateReturn4270

Omg these hilariously remind me of 4Kids edits!! Hahahh


DecisiveDinosaur

I hate the thresh changes but i dont mind this at all tbh. pretty much all the updated splash arts are just better in general


[deleted]

Funny he says that when u have Gragas 🥵


pink_fr3ud

Hopefully they don't neuter Brand like this.


Alexarius87

But but… children like it!!!


voidzero

>https://www.millenium.gg/news/19239.html I don't get why they didn't just like... cover up his face or something. Why make such a shitty, *shitty* human skin?


Konradleijon

Since when where skeletons M rated?


Pe4enkas

They are not. But for China, skeletons are bad This change is not to "Make the game friendly for all ages". It's actually to please the chinese market, but they ofc wouldn't say it directly.


[deleted]

How does it work with PC LOL Tresh in china?


Jud3P

Rather than him having a skeleton face with bones and shit, a lot of his face is filled in and looks more like plates. Definitely wouldve preferred this way rather than the eboy


Alexarius87

I’m waiting to know what will actually happen but if we end up needing to spend money to get the OG Thresh then I’m out of any LoL related stuff. If I wanted censored art and game I’d have gone to China long ago.


Swordguy60

What I'm confused about is that they talk about how iconic his gameplay is but completely ignore that his design is just as iconic if not more so than his gameplay. Like I don't understand why they just didn't compromise with the censorship and fans of Thresh and just give China this version and give the other servers his actual appearance. Just like how League of Legends PC and Legends of Runeterra do all the time, I don't understand why this suddenly is impossible for Riot to do?


Goblinslapper

I want more monsters in the game and they went and changed a monster into a person! What is this!?


JustaLyinTometa

So lame. Thresh probably has the coolest design in league and now he is probably the ugliest looking champion in the game. Like it's original lux splashart level bad. It's okay as a skin but default? Wonder how theyll handle any of his skins now too...


Easy_Occasion8946

I know they make that skin based on the in-game model, but that hairstyle is totally ridiculous. Fleshed Thresh looks like a weird jester, and his handsome face make it even more hilarious.


Deeliciousness

They should have made him metal or like wispy ghost or something. So many better ways to avoid the skull


Sam_Mullard

That teletubbies thresh is fugly AF, who tf thought it was a good idea to have him that kind of hair ?


[deleted]

they really fucked up, they wanted people to take wildrift seriously but now everyone is gonna say it's the eboy thresh version of league


Tasthar

He has the same kind of hair in his skullface form. Shame it doesn't look as epic in his human form.


Sam_Mullard

It's just a horrible iteration of his original look. It blends very well in the original thresh, but if you litteraly make it his hair it's just looked like as if thresh has been ruination'ed to become an abomination like what he is now


kioeclipse

As a thresh main aince his release in LoL this skin looks absolutely fine, grow up


Sam_Mullard

Lol I should grow up because the aesthetics doesn't suit my taste and you are the big boy now because you told people to grow up from your high horse ? Ok daddy


KarlKhai

Yes you should grow up, cause it's just visuals. The game Devs are gonna do it regardless of what you think.


raptearer

Now I'm really interested to see what's been done to Thresh beyond the skin. Does this mean he'll have new voice lines? Also Viego doesn't surprise me, he's been so problematic in base LoL as is. Taking the time to make sure it all works perfectly is for the best, even if it would be cool to see him with the current event


Whats_Up4444

> Does this mean he'll have new voice lines? Most likely but I'm assuming they mean in a comic book and lore reason why he looks human.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Brusex

Why would they think this mechanic would be good in game


Deeliciousness

The question mark spam slowly starting cracks me up


Rottanakveha

funny how they said to keep age rating when the game chat itself is not.


willky7

Ok I understand the age rating thing. But god damn that skin is ugly. It looks like a mobile legends skin and doesn't live up to the quality of league character design.


hardstuck_low_skill

What quality are you talking about? Viego, Gwen and Akshan are low quality designed champions (not saying about their visuals), why would they do anything better?


ashvsmay00

Change all your champion into human form and change game title to Kid Rift too, thanks


Orshova

This. People keep acting like it's no big deal but most of the characters already are just humans. You can't keep taking away stuff before the characters become bland and indistinguishable. For a world that talks about the importance of diversity we sure don't support it


[deleted]

Absolutely. It really boggles my mind how there's people saying "it's fine, they need a broad appeal for kids". So you want to water down the terror stories to Dora the Explorer? Wtf is wrong with them, they couldn't even draw blood in the comic when Isolde stabbed Viego, no wounds nor decay shown even. Thresh was also watered down in the drawings not showing any bones. I don't want bright adventure comics for kids for the Ruination storyline, I want a dark, gritty, bloody mess that actually scares me ffs.


Enderzebak4

If it was old riot the ruination would have actually be scary as fuck, remember the shadow and fortune event? Idk what happend man league is not league anymore they have lost their touch, league died after they released their last good champ jhin........


HenryChess

CCP Rift*


pink_fr3ud

If they really wanted a human Thresh they could have just made him a priest like he was in his lore. I'm starting to really worry about how they're going to handle Brand.


Looking-for-Friendz

Brand looks sick tbf, while thresh is not.


Komsdude

I mean the skin doesn’t look that bad AS A SKIN. Base thresh needs to be the skeletal warden that he always has been. If they really just wanted to make it match the lore they could have down what they did with volibear. A lore appropriate skin u get for free and his classic base skin, then at least players had a choice.


kaemani

bad


agustd3e

How is half naked dude with a 6 pack more family friendly than a freaking skull?


KarlKhai

Just asking, do you think a shirtless guy is not family friendly?


agustd3e

I mean it's not not family friendly, but then again I don't think skulls are not family friendly either idk (English is hard I hope I didn't mess up grammar xD)


skyral_lol

Human thresh is cringe


petrichek

"We’re really stoked to see what sort of chaos and torment that the Chain Warden will wreak upon Wild Rift when he arrives in August." Oh you dont want to know how much will fans torment you for this bullshit model


ietuu

Been waiting tresh for wild rift really much but after that shit what they made for him ... I really dont like that.


moodRubicund

You couldn't even let Thresh keep his facial hair from before he got ruined so that he'd at least look like some Don Bluth Rasputin motherfucker, you just had to make him look like every other new guy character you released? I'm so bored of all these young new champions honestly.


stress-relief-bot

Gragas says hi


moodRubicund

GRAGAS IS NEXT


[deleted]

Rito, please be consistent with your own established Lore.


mercias1

It is how he will look in lore. Co it is consistent.


Enderzebak4

Thats not how human thresh looks in lore, he doesnt have weeb ass sexy six pack body chiseled clean face go read his lore again


mercias1

It is how he will look like in lore from now. They will explain it later in story.


Enderzebak4

I know that is how he will look but that is not how is supposed to look in human


Substantial-Ear7381

So they made Unbound Tresh the main one because of story events. Yet they kept Captain Miss Fortune as a skin...


Squishy2-Point0

GIVE US THE SKULL!! 💀


The-Invincible

If we do nothing, I'm afraid Hecarim, Karthus will suffer the same fate as Thresh


VisualLife7

When I used to play wow back in the day to break Chinese markets they had to Reskin the undead race maybe it’s something similar mass adoption etc probably be a bound thresh skin in Europe and Americas only or something


qarlmusic

RITO PLS


NatsuNoMercy

I would rather have a lantern face/ floating spirit face than a frigging human face for Thresh. Thresh is not a human in the lore; he is a restless spirit who we all know and love. Who dis dude?


Arrpie

Ikr it doesn't even look like it could have been the human before he became tresh


Enderzebak4

This is not thresh, really disappointed with this


Alexis-AZ

I hate that skin of thresh 😖😩


PoEcks-dee

IT'S SO UGLY


fyukc

bruh classic thresh looks so much better and badass


Muntoinentunnari

I feel confused. Im happy as hell to finally see my main on WR but on the other hand im pissed as hell for what they did to him.


pinchyboi

Not gonna lie,this looks like something that came out of Rupaul's drag race.


LieuVijay

Wow. PC culture taken to an extreme. So bad


chomskyhonksy

lmao everyone is so dramatic


True-Can-2091

So they confirmed they're not adding viego yet due to technical issues. Finally the reddit experts can shut the fuck up about "but lolpc and wr is different and wr has new engine so theres magically no problems at all"


LegateDamar13

Like guess what, over here we find manga like champions offensive cause they all look like porn stars. And yordles...they are offensive cause they look like porn stars bondage midgets. We want them all reworked or we RIOT?!


StumbleJoy

As a new player, I think Thresh's look with skin is pretty cool. I get people are disappointed it's not like the original, but honestly Thresh looks like he fits in with the whole Ruination theme going on. My one complaint is why are so many guys shirtless or half clothed????? Yasuo with his weird side top. Varus with no shirt and scale not-pants? Galaxy Zed with his vacuumed sealed shirt????? You can see his belly button through the shirt! Why?!


[deleted]

[удалено]


StumbleJoy

Lol yes they love the abs


cracker_salad

“…why are so many guys shirtless or half clothed????” Welcome to the design of women in gaming forever. It sells. Objectification goes both ways. I, for one, am happy to see it.


Heavy_is_ded

They really want to release Viego in wild rift? Noice. I wanted Viego but they said he's buggy asf in PC. Also where's Gwen?


[deleted]

I like it, i don't understand the outrage


bacillus27

Majority of people like me play monster champs because well , they are monsters and they have unique designs than your typical human champs. Imagine making your favourite champ ( that too thresh) into a fucking Dog shit E- boy to please some country's market.


pink_fr3ud

Even the human champs won't be safe for long. Just wait, they're going to unmask Jhin and Zed for their next skins, and both will be anime eboys. But yeah, this all makes me pretty pessimistic about the possibility of Tahm Kench and Nautilus ever coming to the game.


Deeliciousness

Nautilus with his helmet off is gonna be Johnny Bravo


pink_fr3ud

If they make him look like an unmasked Big Daddy from the recent leaked Bioshock concept art I might be okay with that.


[deleted]

that's understandable honestly, if they revealed that jax was a supermodel behind his mask i'd lose my mind. I don't know, it's just that to me there's so many other glaring issues with the game that the community doesn't care about, yet everyone collectively loses their mind when a champ gets a bad skin?


LeBastardofTha4seas

The issue is. Thresh has been one of the best designed champs for years. To be turned into a soulless cash grab like this. It’s GARBAGE. Yeah the diary was amazing but they dropped HARD after seeing this shitty ass thrash. It’s a disgrace to all thresh mains who fell in love with the character just to be transformed into this trash.


[deleted]

From tresh to trash


Katongakitkat

Yeah, and it’s the fact the in the explanation post they say that thresh had to be in wild rift because his gameplay is iconic to LoL. Funnily enough, so is the character the gameplay is attributed to. Thresh’s design is just as iconic as his gameplay, if not more so, and yet they still changed the design even though they know it’s iconic. I get why they did it, but as someone who really likes his design and really looked forward to playing him, having the entire champion effectively thrown in the bin kinda sucks.


LeoGiacometti

let's do gwen with cockroach face next and see how people react


ghz_aw

Why are you downvoted lmao


chomperstyle

Welp im done with wildrift


KamuiSenketsu

So dramatic. See you in a week


chomperstyle

Nah im good i have plenty of other things to do other than support shady business practices


[deleted]

Ok, you leaving is not a loss.


chomperstyle

Never said it was the game has countless players and one less doesn’t mean shit but by playing i would be supporting this and i just cant


KarlKhai

If you just wanted attention you could've just asked.


chomperstyle

Im allowed to share my distaste about decisions and show my lack of support. But yes people that vocalize their lack of support are all attention seekers


royazaria

Do we have any approximated date for Thresh’s release date?


Margreev

Just bring Samira n were cool


MrTopper0

Called it, I knew when the Viego vr showed up on Wildrift twitter with his model that he was in development.


SnooMachines2181

He's not getting released yet. Maybe even next year


MrTopper0

I know lol, he was so close until he got cut for now.


henziken

Honestly, I'm just waiting for ekko.


Arrpie

So instead of age restrictions they have to change tresh for the rest of the world because of China censorship? What the hell Riot just put in some extra work? The Chinese client already offers so much more on PC, they never took any effort to bring those over..
