Ranking all of the LoR EXCLUSIVE SKINS 

If cafe cuties comes to LoR, i want a cafe cuties azir skin where his staff is a giant fork and his soldiers are chefs

It's crazy how people still accuse Nicky of blindly hating Seraphine when in every video he's made featuring LoR's Seraphine she's consistently been in the top tiers.

i feel like the DnD skins should have had their level 1 be home-made cosplays of the characters, with armor made of cardboard and stuff

My favorite part of the DND skinline is that the first art is all of them at the table then its them in game which is an awesome detail, which is why its my favorite skin line in LoR

dude corrupted zoe is on another level of awesome imo

2:17 biblically accurate seraphine

what a good time to refresh the home page

Please Riot, they already took down Forge, LoR is now the only League IP I care about.

I spent 36 hours straight awake to finish this video So you sons of a guns better enjoy it

Arcade Quinn underrated for sure. For very long time it was my favourite skin in the game and i still want it in LoL

Bruh the ill beats illoai is so cool. The thought that shes so ripped because she sets up all the dj equipment herself and lugs around that big subwoofer makes so much sense.

if they gave aphelios a helm that hides his face, he'd be a masterchiefesque character with all of his guns and alune being his AI

I think that for DnD skins, splash art is about 70% of the appeal. Yeah, some of them like Darius, Lee Sin, or Garen aren't too different on their own and they would be super boring if they were implemented in League, but the image of them just being a bunch of friends playing DnD - and you seeing it every time you look at the card - makes these skins so much more fun.

they turned malphite into obelisk the tormentor and thought we wouldn't notice

Nicky. The reason Fizz Finslayer has a scar in level 2 and not in level one is because for that entire line, Level 1 is them at the table playing a roleplaying game. Level 2 is what is happening in the game. Level 2 is the character that Level 1 is playing as. You should really judge each of these skins as the level 2, because the level 1 is not supposed to look drastically different. Darius' final boss self insert is actually a cool design.

this is the first time for me to see LOR skins and oh my GOD are the corrupted skins one of the best concepts to ever exist in this universe

Honestly arcade anivia would be a great legendary ~ Ultimate. Having a team of arcade champions talking to you throughout the match like in starfox.

I love the editing of these videos so much 😩😩 I could watch this all day

However I absolutely adore the artwork and design on Quinn. A lot of the Arcade designs reek a lot of "I don't really know what an arcade game looks like" so my favourite ones are ironically the regular humans, because this unattached look into gaming aesthetics kinda reframe them for me, Arcade Ahri for example what a "gamer" of that time would want a "gamer-gurl" to look like, and the titular Arcade Quinn being such a good unintentional look of what companies see gaming like in a way that could be marketable, she's the woman that appears in an ad, and I love it for her

Corrupted Leona not being S tier is criminal, the painting style alone is immaculate, and the posing/lighting, it’s just perfect

great video, editing is 11/10. Love the outro song.

Me simple, buffy man in speedo = S tier

lvl 3 corrupeted nasus looks like Sett's body with Nasus' head

I can't deny, i just fucking know when ocanha edits the video just by the timing of the jokes now, guys i think i fell in love with someone.

Honestly that lvl 1 for piltover ekko sells the skin so hard. Like if you're gonna turn ekko into a high society piltovan, having him use the afterimages to socialize at a higher rate than anyone else is capable of really works well with his time shenanigans. Sucks that they completely dropped that idea in the level 2 art.

"Corrupted " big fan 🤘

Corrupted Azir immediately wins best in the game for me. the snakeshoulders reference Zahhak, of Persian mythology, an emperor destined for greatness but who was corrupted both metaphorically and fantastically, eventually (famously) growing snakes on his shoulders that must fed by human brains. It's a great bit of extra storytelling for the character AND a nod to the vague cultural inspirations for Shurima's design. I simply must love it

I think I would have liked Coven/Eclipse Nilah more if it were the other way around, a eclipse knight capturing and sealing a demon, only for it to whisper in her ear and tempt her to join the coven.

I’d love to see a unique skin for reksai. Since she’s not bound to being an insect shark they could go crazy with her. Like worldbreaker could be an axolotl creature or maybe coven/ old god could be some Cthulhu eldritch beast.

I like that corrupted pantheon has the shield Darkin (I’m forgetting his name) but instead of being severely wracked with ptsd he’s now Pantheon

Now make wr exclusive skins tier list

Exclusive skins, but no monetization 😢

Dark Star Shyvanna gets the award for being the only skin in any game to not whitewash Shyv

Editor I love you for that big fun Issac joke ❤❤❤

There's no other RU-vidr so good at editing memes into his videos than Nicky, man, SERIOUSLY the timing and the references send me everytime

I deeply appreciate switching to Celeste's Reflection music for the Taric section, so fitting.

LoR Mentioned! :O

I had never seen that Gilded Jayce skin before, but I feel like he just assaulted...

thats whats interesting about smite skins, they dont care at all about the clarity and some skins change the heroes so much you would have never guessed which god is it lmao

Corrupted Zoe is basically how all Darkin and Pantheon see Zoe normally.

Haven't been here long, but the jokes are so fast and quippy that I have to pause and rewatch to make sure I caught everything. Absolutely amazing content, good opinions, and also genuinely delightful to experience. May this comment help The Algorithm send you to more people so they can enjoy your stuff too.

I do love them making exclusive skins for the sake of doing concepts that are cool but would NEVER work in the rift, like Arcade Anivia. Also its hilarious that for some reason the LoR favorite child is Shyvana who has 3 skins, two of which are exclusives, meanwhile Lux is in this game and only has 1. They didn't even make Star Guardian Lux during the event. Lux has been dethroned.

That Battle Academia Poppy got some INSANE levels of Gremlin energy...

I like Star Guardian Gwen and hope it comes to league, but this is the one of the few games where I want more content. I will put more monies into this game but sadly LOR doesn’t make as much as the other games and it’s been getting changed. Still a great game though

16:43 and especially "TBF I'd be upset as well if my main received three exclusive skins back to back on the games with the lesser amount of players" Couldn't have said it better. Look, I LOVE Soul Fighter Gwen, but having HALF OF HER SKIN ROSTER unavailable in PC League is horrible. And that's on top of Dragonmancer and Riftquest Nami (also Glorious but I can accept that one) 💀

It’s my dose of nickyboi videos

I remember how LONG ago, the rioters said that LoR skins wouldn't be exclusive forever... I wonder if those people still even work there anymore? :(

I just noticed: How does Azir not have a God Emperor skin?

i've never played nor want to play LoR (Because i suck at card games), but i do enjoy listening to Nicky yapping about how messy the LoL model are that those skin won't even work, might try the game sometime in the future

Bit of shame this was recorded before the latest batch of LoR skins, elder dragon got an amazing skin for the Chinese new year

17:10 I always get the feeling of "Spirit Blossom Ahri CHROMA" 17:25 Zandalari from World of Warcraft in the golden armor. and I LOVE the level up.

I love the Big fan Isaac reference, that got a good laugh out of me

Winter Queen Ahri is honestly weird, it looks like she has the KDA hair and Spirit Blossom Tails with random ice spikes on her

10:51 NAH THIS ONE IS LIT THO?? The colors are nice & it's like a twist on his lore, if he didn't stay true to himself and followed his parents vision of what he's suppose to become. That's most likely what would happen

I love how corrupted Azir reframes the context of his level up quotes

Warwick has to come to lor

While I agree that Pulsefire isn't that exciting anymore, I'm holding out for Pulsefire Heimerdinger. A fussy, yet somewhat scatterbrained eccentric time travel techie? Count me in.

The corrupted ascended skins go so hard, especially Renekton.

im super late but if nicky hasnt done the wild rift exclusives stream yet i rlly hope i catch it (head in hands)

The concept of the DnD skins is that level 1 is the players while 2 is the characters, some do it very well like Zilean but I still see the charm of Lee, Darius and Fizz that look like the regular designs, but now re-contextualized in this "2 frame story" of players and their characters, could it be better design wise? yea

alot of these actually bangs

Great, now rank the wr exclusives next

We need jazz bard in the main game too. Its too good man.

It might be good to point out that Star Guardian Gwen I think was corrupted by Zoe in the lore and then got saved by Soraka and her team, right? That's why she has the "evil" eye. I think it's actually a pretty good skin, I would definitely buy that in LoL since it fits her sooo well!

Like for the DND skins why can't they be like for their level 1, they're all humans basically playing the game but when they Level up they turn into their Avatars in the DND game, that would be so cool

Completely forgot about druid zilean, really hope it comes together in an asu

9:39 the planet size shuriken confuse me because he has different shuriken on his back, which makes more sense for the skin, have the shuriken be black holes with the event horizon making up the blade.

Winter Queen Ahri looks like a Skin for Crystal Maiden

Please tell me you got a WR version coming?

The reason I think Fizz’s scar isn’t in the first art is because they’re playing a TTRPG. He doesn’t have a scar, his character does.

If you're going to do the WR exclusives then I think you ought to go all in and also rank the TFT exclusive units/skins

18:54 i had max volume & that scream scared the tits outta me 🤣🤣🤣

really wish they could have incorporate the corrupted skins into league they would be insane especially in some darkin event

As a wild rift player I'm excited to see your thoughts on maximum drip nasus (dreamraider)

I like old god elder dragon specifically to match him up with thousand pierced bear for a whole old God aesthetic

World breaker Elise is so good ;-; almost all her lol skins are just there without much special details. But world breaker just is so different from her lol designs.

Love the representation of the def community on this one! 🙌

I was a Gwen otp (Top/jgl) until I started playing adc, and I was really disappointed about the skin dilemma. I really like star guardian and the two wild rift skins, and I hated it that they didnt went to LoL. So much in fact, I refused using skins for my otp because space groove and cafe cuties didnt hit the spot for me.. and her base form was blue, so.. Yeah, even tho I understood why they did this, it wasnt less upsetting in the slightest. Damn Rito, I would have spend money! Guess you saved me.

Begging for you to react to the level up animations !!

Coven Janna in S, all that matters

MY BABY ANIVIA GETTING AN S TIER LET'S FUCKING GO

Could you imagine a corrupted Aurelion Sol.

I hope the editor had a really hard time working with this footage :)

I think i saw only like 5% of the skins in game, didn't even know most of them even existed, no wonder they'll stop making them. Sad rumble didn't get one tho.

I feel like the corruption skin can become an ultimate skin on league ... And It'll be a 100 times better than Samira

Dark Star Shyvana is just A-sol at home

I'm disappointed that the skins flavor texts was not considered when ranking these because some of them like Corrupted Nasus or the DnD skins really bump them up 1 tier for me

could people from LOR, which are making splash arts and skins ideas, help lol team ? Is this possible to skins in lol became at least half as fun as in LOR ?

Corrupted Xerath is A Tier.

Epic

Wow League learning from Smite with that Anivia skin

Will you make for Wildrift too?

i thought i had skullgirls running in the background

i totally agree with most of this but to me World Breaker Elise is S-tier

Dungeon master darius should have like reading glasses and tired eyes

Another Bard win is another like

YES FOR THE EXCLUSIVE WILD RIFT SKINS (i'm a wild rift main)

Now that i Think about it asol could have a sea serpent theme skin if you Think about it

They're NOT exclusive. They are called "First To" or "Debut". They can come to other games if it's wanted enough.
