Play Zac and you'll understand. People tend to notice you less when your skin is similar to were you stand like a chameleon who blends in nature. Try specific skins that applies to this rule and you'll get what I mean.
@@insanity.- What he fails to mention is that, back then, if you played in very low resolution, the trail was invisible. That skin was actually banned in competition for a while.
@@lamaop3151 to be honest, if you're familiar with Lux, it gives you 0.000sec time less to react. Just like the Brand one, if you could count, helps nothing at all
Yeah right, I mean comparing forecast janna on dominion with normal janna on summoners rift is so dumb. And s1 who doesnt see the trundle pillar from traditional skin is actually blind.( that were just 2 examples)
I never said that skins DONT impact your gameplay, they do but dont use outdated skins or skins that dont truly buff anything but just make it hard to see?
They entirely dont, This video is outdate showing Pre-Reworked Aatrox etc. Old maps, etc. etc. and besides most of this isnt ACTUAL skins that impact the game, Like iBlitzcrank because his Q hitbox is actually bigger than any other skin in the game, :) Its just "oh this is quieter so its good"
@@Skylocke_ many of the examples are pretty useful, i mean, maybe 20 of it. Also, how can you say that a skin makes it harder to see, but at the same time that it isn't better to use?
@@bosscemeteryarchives4526 there are a lot of things too keep track of during a teamfight. noe maybe you are focusing on some other champ, but trundle placed a pillar before in a close bush. what will catch your attention easier away from your main focus to the pillar? a white/blue pillar of ice that clearly stands out from the surroundings because of contrast,or a green pillar the same colour as the ground and bush?
Why use footage from Crystal Scar for forecast Janna and then compare it to base Janna on NEW SR when dominion isnt even a playable game mode anymore? Also footage of old aatrox???
thanks for the correction. but youre just making my point for me. why use footage from a game mode that isnt even in the game anymore and then compare that footage to the updated SR with the base Janna skin?
they are supposed to be showing skins that "buff" your champ, presumably for use in ranked on summoners rift, it makes ZERO sense to use footage from a game mode that doesnt exist and might not share any colors with summoners rift. mecha aatrox, AFAIK, the sword color changes when you can proc his new passive not when you are tracking ult.
Nah. Headhunter Nidalee spears are actually kinda weird on the hitbox. I've "dodged" them many times but somehow it still hits me. Any other Nidalee skin I don't have that problem.
@@thomaspereira1545 the stairs on the borders of inhibitor turrets, river is deeper than lane (not noticeable because of bush), baron and dr pit are deeper than the ground behind
I main warwick.. I love his character.... I spent most of my rank games with him as a jungler in prev season and also in this season .. I am in Diamond And i have all his skin... I dont agree with ur opinion with his lunar guardian skin... Even with his default skin a newbie can also smell and chase properly.... That mark of blood is soo much sharp which is easy to detect..
@@nunoneves3943 I am not showing of here as a pro rank gamer.. Or pro player.. I came here to correct some misconception about something i really fond of in this game... 👍😊
actually true, the ice below the normal one is harder to use for an exact slow range, but both have the circle around it anyway, which makes this statement completely redundant and ALSO FALSE

This video is trash. I’d like to point out a few of my reasons for saying that 1. Mecha Aatrox “ult changes sword color making it easier to keep track.” First, no. That statement makes no sense Second, this was his W doing the color change on the skin. Third, this is old aatrox.
Uncle Crit some can be considered buffs like the Nunu bot ones which apparently is only visible to allies (would have liked to see proof), the Nami E one since it makes it more likely your ally will notice and use the buff. Though some of these are REALLY outdated like the Aatrox one since its pre-rework and the Janna one, all Janna skins got patched so bright wind orbs circle the top of her tornado as it charges making it much harder to not notice, this got added shortly after Star Guardian Janna went live
@@beutud I could be really stupid to you right now. Or extremely trol chase you over the Internet (And make you regret your words). The point is, be careful when you make these types of comment because you do not know who you are directing it to. Have a nice day, I hope I do not see that name popping again on my notification.
@@joekenwood4956 That was a joke, no judgement at all. Even natives do write some typos, it is just human error, I have done it, you certainly have done it. Everyone has done it at some stage.
apparently the video is also about unclarity of visuals so this fits right in. I know it's not a "buff" but so is Gragas barrel and many other examples
Teemo skin is a disadvantage thats why I prefer classic animation skins because its hides the ult radius as well as his auto is thinner and his animations is almost the same with his auto
no cause theyre to stupid to even know what it is. these tricks dont work. either higher level are too smart for his or lower people are too stupid to realize
Having a clear indicator for yourself is often not a "buff". Yes, perhaps it is a nice way to have a visual tracker on your champion, but you often see that with your cooldowns. What I'm not concerned about is that it makes it an indicator for your enemies as well to play around, which makes it seem like skins that make your champion worse. I don't think this is the best video you could have made and it's just been sorta sent out just to send a video out. You used old footage of aatrox and Janna on dominion... (even though they even updated all her tornado effects to have clear indicators). Just put more effort into this or hell, make it about less champions instead of being inaccurate.
It is definitively not a buff. If you are playing Brand and has half a brain you gonna know how many skill have you hit or if you are playing against Brand you will know which skills have hit you. It's just a dumb thing.
Yeah you are right. For the Brand skin, enemies will be VERY aware, and tbh, it will make it easier for them. But with the Nunu Bot one, that skin is actually good, because only your team can see the timer.
If your looking for a "buff", I'd look into the cyber pop zoe. It's much easier to land a q on an asleep opponent in the fog of war, as the blue crash screen effect is a lot more prominent than her normal effects.
Dawnbringer doesn't just feel smoother, the animations are faster. Also consider: Odyssey Yasuo thin af tornado, enduring sword Talon's thin w and faster auto animation.
woah just now i noticed that varus use has HAND to ult, not his bow cool also, i dont understand the hate on the video - yeah some things are stupid, and in most of them he uses "harder to see" as synonym to "is different than"..but you know - opinions. Nothing to rage on
"The chroma makes her blend in more" Ah yes its not like we cannot literally see the healthbar of the champion. The level of bullshit within this video is OUTSTANDING
As the video has a lot of problems, so help me to point other skin "buffs" or cool things 1 - Dunkmaster darius makes the passive way more clear, and all the other animations are pretty satisfying too. 2 - Most of vayne skins makes her W more visible for you to control like Soulstealer, arclight and heartseeker. 3 - Shockblade zed has scarry sound effects that personally helps a lot. So... Help me with this list ^^
Wtf... That literally doesn't make any sense, skins may change the animation but the time it takes to autoattack or cast spells will ALWAYS be the same
It is a boost, but saying that the Dawn bringer Riven skin is the only skin that gives an advantage is boring. He shouldve also said that for example other skins have the same benefit
Star guardian/pajama guardian lux works. It helps me. Whenever i play normal skin lux i lose and when i use pajama guardian lux i get more kills and the star guardian ult is powerful compare to normal skin lux ult
Challenger Ahri ult hides E animation due to similar color so u not only cancel the animation, but u also hide the rest of the Animation with the ult aura.
There are even more, Bewitching Morgana as example is really smallest than normal Morgana or others Morgana skins, you can check yourself or just watch LCS, every Morgana player always use It. This makes you dodge better since your champion is smaller.
Arclight varus and Justicar Syndra's abilities are color yellow which only means that it's easier to see and that makes the enemy team's reaction time better just like in CS:GO or R6 yellow skin guns are easily seen.
As someone w a shit ton of experience on Riven, I can say that Dawnbringer Riven feels way smoother to combo with. Even if it doesn't help that much, it feels smoother.
You should also explain how it is a buff. For instance the quitter pull, how is that a buff? You can still see the direction of where the pull is coming from so you still know the general area.
Sometimes you just hear the hook and flash immediately, because you don't have the time to see and evaluate if it's actually gonna hit you. That's why I think that one in particular is kinda true.
In the middle of a teamfight where you literally have to note up to 40 different abilities and 10 passives, we usually don't always notice everything. This video helps. And I've seen deep sea threshs bait a flash with recall
" 40 different abilities and 10 passives, we usually don't always notice everything" has nothing to do about blending in or something its just too many for you to see; it isnt what i was talking about. Also about the thresh recall i didnt say animations dont affect game play please read.....
@@yan3689 yeah mb, I was tryna say something being less visable can genuinely help. There have been times I didn't notice Janna's tornado for example. But yeah some of these are exaggerated
That's why I got the pentakilled with ADC Lux. People burned their flashes thinking my auto was my Q. Also the static animations she has makes farming and the auto timer more clear than Elementalist. Elementalist also makes crits obvious by spinning her wand in front of her. Steel Legion has the crit animation of her throwing out her E instead.
I'd say that the skins that actually buff your 'performance' in league of legends are the ones that just have a different feeling to it if you know what I mean. For example, High Noon Lucian autos/abilities feels more like kind of thick (Sorry I can't describe stuff well) but then Hired Gunner feels more sharp. These differences can really make a difference, especially in CS. People have different preferences, some people will like buff and thick feeling skins, others will like smooth autos, and others will like other stuff. This is how I ended up liking Hired Gunner Lucian more than High Noon Lucian. This is the reason why I got Gangster Twitch instead of Omega Squad Twitch. Always choose carefully when you are going to buy a skin, cause it does matter, at least more than you think.
A lot of these seem to be for some reason assuming the player is blind and can only react based on sounds... which hey! Is actually probably true with most of my teammates! The Braum back and Thresh back could be pretty fun to pull off though.
At certain direction, Warring Kingdoms Katarina's recall animation and its sound effect are similar to Q animation. This actually works when you are at red team side and against champions like yasuo or fizz
As a main brand i'd like do say that Boss Brand does not help you that much, after a hundreds of game you kinda get that just by observe where and how your skills are dealing in the camp. However... Zombie Brand is really good to last hit minions, it seems more precise, idk
God King Darius doesn’t buff the champion. It only looks faster because GK’s axe swing animation continues on for a short amount more than regular Darius.
Dawnbringer Riven is actually the best skin to do the fast combo, but the new ''Valiant Sword Riven'' is as good as Dawnbringer, because it got the same animations for the Q in another colour
Oh you just forgot arclight velkoz, who's the W+Q combo is invisible, and dark ice anivia who's W were smaller than the hitboxe was (yeah was cause they fixed that, but as he put the hold aatrox and forecast janna in dominion I guess it's not a probleme) and omega squad Veigar who's W is so harder to spot than the no-skin one
I'm surprise there is not veigar commando W , victorius ashe ult , in general , any skin that change a skill into a less visible one or "more wide than it looks" ...
These aren't that great but one thing that I almost always do as support is that I match my skin to my adc. It pleases me to be color coordinated and I assume it can have a very minor confusing effect on the enemies.
I think you dont know the animation on the ancien pharaon fiddlestick skin where your q animation is the same as the ult. You can come and siege with your team and w in front of ennemi and then cast ult in front of them. I assure you it work very well.
