Rapid-Fire Skin Review: Coven 

It's weird that all 3 Rell mains haven't gotten upset at her lack of skins.

I cannot fathom that akali was in coven and not in street demons Edit: I get the points that akali wouldn't fit into street demons cause she a) is a human b) already has KDA, which are fait points, but still why is her coven skin so boring, if you had to make an alkali coven skin, then at least make it interesting

Nami still having that voice honestly makes the skin more fun to me in the sense that I can totally see some eclipse knights who don't know better underestimating her despite her best efforts to sound intimidating and then those people die horribly

Considering Nilah's whole water thing, my headcanon is that the Old God she sealed is actually the Leviathan that Coven Nami calls

I love how the joke about Poro screaming in 7:05 appears in ALL of his new skin videos and never loses its fun.

Here's a fun fact about the legendary Nami: In Brasil, the voice actress sung a reinvented evil Nami version of "Poor Unfortunate Souls" from Little Mermaid outside of game stuff, she was just as happy as the players and gave them a whole SONG, it was amazing

My biggest issue with the Akali skins is that the Prestige one to me almost looks like it could pass as whatever the Nightmare Crime City skin line is, given it looks like a dark suit jacket and tie

And I thought seraphine stans were bad, until I saw the syndras and the massive army looming in the distance

Old God Mord might not distinguish itself very well from his other skins, but it still looks fucking amazing

I'm not mad at more melee champs finally joining Camille in the coven, I am however disappointed at how unimaginative Akali and Elise were. Akali as a witch that casts darkness and flays her enemies, working in the animal skull themes to maybe wear a beak in place of her ninja mask or something could have been really stunning and genuinely dark and fashionable, but unsurprisingly they just picked the most polished and bland concept. And Elise is frankly giving paintbrush spider, it's an exceptionally basic design and I would've personally really liked to see the spider give Old God vibes like Warwick did, being made of leaves, metal, and rock, but given that she already has 2 'flower spider' skins I suppose they wanted to step away from the Elderwood core thematic, which begs the question - why even pick her?

I thought i gonna see xayah and rakan in this skinline. Xayah being coven Rakan being old god Being different but still love each other.

With all this drama I completely missed that Akali snuck her way into this skinline- what's more her prestige looks like a Battle Academia prestige 💀

If they reversed the roles of coven akali and street demon briar, that would have made for two awesome skins that made more sense in both cases

How hard was it for Riot to make a bark-skinned leafy Old God Mordekaiser instead of another metal-plated Mordekaiser... That would've been awesome. Oh yeah, Nami's is the best hands down.

Faster than Lightning McQueen

Proud of all the seraphine mains that have undergone character development

Finally a controversy free skin line

The sad part is that Riot listened to the Syndra fans but the Xayah and Rakan fans are just asking to please get skins with effort put into them for a fan favorite theme and Riot is ignoring it. Makes it obvious Riot only listens to threats cause it takes anything less than that as “who cares theyll buy it anyways”

I feel like Nami's voice works for half her lines, like she feels like a young overconfident "hmm yes i'm so powerful and cool and pretty i'm the best and now i'm gonna kill you" even if the other half of the lines are a bit...

I am a very happy Nami main. I have been wanting a Legendary for years, but I never posted about it on any forums, nor did I scream and yell at riot about it. I was just waiting patiently and hoping for the best. I wouldn't have minded if Syndra got the Legendary either.

3:30 ahri had the same too, she became coven witch from an elderwood something

Coven Skarner when

Xayah and Rakan receiving the Post-credit scenes in all the last videos about this topic, is just so funny ngl.

I asked one of my friends what she thought of coven nami. She said it was THE WORST nami skin. Were no longer friends

Nicky, you are so brave by stating that neither Syndra or Nami, deserved the legendary. Can't wait to see the reaction in Twitter. Also, yeah, must be nice, getting a legendary or any other tier of skin for your champ, after 8 years. (Kindred copium)

Akali getting a coven skin makes perfect sense, you see she is a ninja. Ninja's are great at infiltrating and sneaking into places they don't belong.

I have been waiting for this... heheheh! Another great rapid fire skin review!

Loving the Mystic Mansion playing in the background

the worst thing about this is riot listening after being threatened whereas all those civil complains about other skins are just being left on read. you're right, they are just encouraging this behaviour.

once again nicky, another wonderful rapid-fire skin

On the topic of champions with two skins in the same universe, the coven universe has it very very bad. They've shoved omen of the dark, elderwood, death blossom, coven, old god and eclipse (i might be forgetting even more) into the same universe, and champions like ahri, leblanc, elise, kayle, nocturne, etc. all have multiple skins in this universe by now. This one universe makes up roughly 4% of all of the skins in league, iirc

I was planning on going to sleep but Nicky decided to drop a vid.

Syndra and nami mains: figthing to see who gets the legendary skin and whining a lot Me: disapointed that old god fiddlesticks is still not a real thing

I'll just wait another year for old god Chogath

Love the sonic heroes hang castle background music 👌

I didn't bought a skin day one in years but this Nami skin was worth the money ✨

my problem with these new coven skins is that you could tell that none of the skin designers know a thing or two about fashion references that Coven might have pulled from originally, you could see it with hoe tacky Syndra looked 😭

Both true damage and K/DA already mimic the effects of street demons without the lore. It would be redundant to make a third street thug skin of Akali that looks and feels the exact same way. Her coven skin does not dip deeper into the dark nitty gritty of the coven lore and barely scratches it in appearance. Meanwhile the prestige makes her look like she's from the battle academy universe with the bright colors on the jacket and her hair.

I actually like the idea of the Syndra ords, live ravens or crows morphed into balls or energy is some kinda body horror goodness.

After a certain point i feel like it falls on Riot. Like no obviously no one deserves death threats. But if Taliyah, Yorick, and Ornn player's asking nicely gives them nothing but a middle finger and 5 minute adjustments while sending death threats gives seraphine and friends whole new skins.... well at that point they're just encouraging it.

Sonic heroes's musics in the back ground. So good. ❤

unrelated but i had to point out the editing on this video is immaculate

Will you do an updated review on Syndra's, maybe in the next rapidfire skin review?

4:48 this is what happens when you do lack of research. The Coven designer Riot Stellari said Syndra was the inspiration for whole Coven skinline and she was saving her for legendary in future but she left Riot due to mistreatment. Syndra as Scarlet Witch as legendary was the whole point.

As a Rell main, you didn’t see all three of us start throwing death threats at rioters when Rell ended up in SG instead of high noon, which was the skinline put out RIGHT BEFORE SG. Sometimes you get what you get and you don't through a fit.

The la illusion skins were pretty good. You should review them

This is the third video I edited back to back in a week The things I do for love

I would like a cute floating nickyboi head accompanied with a dissapearing thumbs up rat to reassure me about every hard decision I have to make in my life.

I'm SO pleased by this Nami skin, the splash art is awesome the voice lines are fire, sfx and vfx are fucking amazing, AND THE SQUIDWARD DANCE

didn’t we miss a skinline?? where is the rapid skin review for the La Illusions??

Great video; but on the controversy topic. The MAIN issue i see (or notice imo) is that riot JUST responds to harassment (IM NOT IN FAVOR); but today vandril uploaded 2 champ breaking bugs that were on PBE and mentioned, yet they didnt care, but something like this, there are posts on posts from tons of rioters. At the start of the year they wanted more clarity, and i feel that went down a drain again. People just see what works and lizard brain it when OBVIOUSLY its not the way to do anything

Street demons akali woulda been cool. Her dashes leave paint trails on the ground… but that steps on K/DA Akali’s toes with how similar they would be

Old god is actually my new favorite mordekaiser skin simply because of that charming smile

I can hear Coven Yuumi from Coven Nami and I cant stop imagining it

Hey Nicky, would u be willing to talk about the redeemed sg R/X situation, we're still confused as to why they responded to the syndra complaints and changed her skin but totally ignored R/X even though its a legendary variant 🤔

Through a lot of discussion, I have found something VERY funny. Akali and Briar… should have swapped skins. If they need to fill the Akali Quota, put her in street demons, make them more splotchy and messy with the paints and the skinline would have sold like hot cakes. Briar in Coven as a Witch or a ghoul created to harvest energy? It was written in the stars!

that sonic heroes ost is just chef's kiss

Im not a syndra main but I still think she deserve zhe legendery skin better

Wait is that some SONIC HEROES Hang Castle music? i got ptsd once again my man.

Honestly, I loved Nami Coven, but what I want is an Elderwood or Old God Legendary, both are still part of the Eclipse universe, it's sad to see only the Knights and Covens winning, but I'm happy if they still at least continue to win something like Karthus and Wukong this year. Although in the end they will end up making Lux or Sera the Legendary of Elderwood...

Can you do la illusion review too?

My faves are definitely Nilah and Nami Nilah's crimson robes, whip and effects look so cool and they contrast well with her white hair And Nami because shes fuckin Ursula and thats cool!

Ngl the thing that made me the happier from this coven returns was the Bel’veth teaser

Coven Morgana is still my all time favorite. I don't even play anymore. I just enjoy her aesthetic more than others in the skin line.

Having played with coven nami, that skin makes me feel power I haven’t felt before. I was running down adcs

My favorite part about this controversy. Whenever we bring up the harassment and how it's never ok to send death threats there's a small community that have a need to insert themselves and relentlessly defend themselves saying that they're were genuinely sharing there criticisms and that the death threats meant nothing but a small minority. Even though it takes less than 5 seconds to understand that if anyone wasnt harrassing and just sharing their thoughts and criticisms respectful aren't the ones we are talking about it and just because you weren't involve in the problem doesnt nullify the general issues and it doesnt detract acutall meaningful criticisms. Like i know it sounds pedantic when reading this but it drives me nuts Whenever we just trying to address horrible actions like harassment there always someone going: WeLl I dIdN't Do AnYtHINg WrOnG sO tHeRe Is No CoNtRoVeRsY tHeReFoRe tHeRe Is No HaRaSsMeNt OnLiNe

As a syndra main and a nami main I’m super happy about the nami skin, I don’t keep up with league news or anything so it was an awesome surprise! Of course I’m still waiting for a syndra legendary skin but til then I’ll be using star guardian, tho ngl most her skins are kinda basic oops

can you review the la ilusion skinline?

Imagine the biggest criticism that you can give a banger skin, is that the champ got better ones already. Valid, but just shows how insane the quality standards are by now

During the video I just noticed how cool Mordekaiser's weapon looks in the skin :O

Both the Nila and Nami skins looks great. I need both of them

NickyBoi: Akali what are you doing here? Akali: I'm here to commit robbery in broad daylight.

Mr. Nicholas J. Boi, will you make a La Ilusión RFSR?

On the whole fiasko with the conven syndes situations. Id like to tell that i as a ahri main when pool party first was teased along with jinx so was pool party ahri. So many fan consepts but riot has never gone threw feels more like the synda situation was Them gas lighting Them selfs

I can now no longer look at the syndra balls without seeing ornn heads now thanks.

if I knew we could've bullied riot like the syndra mains have I would've gotten soul fighter nilah in game by myself

Something i want to see in a future coven return is either coven Aurelion sol or coven rek’sai as the leviathan that Nami worships. Personally i think it would be really cool

3:53 Now that you pointed it out yeah i kinda see it lmaoo

Ever since Necrit referenced Rell in his video covering the Coven situation I would've loved to see Rell in Coven with a scary bone horse. It would make sense too given her lance making her look like a knight and would connect her to Morde's creepy walking bone armor he's got going on. I imagine Morde would be her patron god in that universe.

As a Nami and Syndra main, I've been eating a lot of popcorns these past few weeks 🍿

any chance you would cover wild rift skins?

I like teh funny edits :)

Syndra mains O_______O

They're badass. :3

2:45 Can anybody tell me what's this sound effect from? I think i have heard it somewhere but can't put my mind on where and it just kills me

Sometimes I fantazise about a Syndra main coming home drunk and beating me until I feel numb. Kicking me in the ribs until I can hardly breathe, only to start apologizing, holding me gently all night until I fall asleep crying in their arms

for some reason mordekaiser slapping away the poro sounded like skooch in jeopardy

still waiting for dragonslayers rapid skin review :( nice vid :)

Mystic Mansion OST on the background makes me miss Sonic Heroes 🥲

Harassing devs is a problem, but so is the fact it takes harassing devs to get anything done at all, if a big stink isn't raised about something then Riot will just ignore it, we see the same thing with other huge companies like RU-vid or Activision Blizzard, giant companies only react to negative stimuli and that's a fact.

Lets pray this place will stay safe

I love this skinline so much, so seeing this dumb controversy (with Syndra, one of my favorite champs to play and design wise) hurts me. Like, yeah, she would've been cool as a legendary, but, well, wasn't meant to be. And yeah, most of my favorite champs in the top 3 don't have legendaries (Pantheon, Warwick, Quinn, Syndra and Aurelion Sol, the only one that has is Ahri). But that means that I'll just have to wait a bit more and usually that pays off (except if you are a Samira main)

wait nami's va is morgana from persona 5 ?! i just realized this from her coven voice lines

Hoping for a coven witch Kayle, think that would be cool

Thx for Sonic Heroes OST

Morgana is my favorite coven skin along with Eve, and Mordekaiser. I won’t use any chromas as base fits the theme best. . Nami looks good and while I feel Syndra should have gotten the legendary, Nami benefits more (an epic coven Nami’s voice and mermaid model would not have fit the theme).

I love the sonic heroes OST for this one :3

We Pyke mains have been eating mad good for a long time so my perspective might be a bit skewed but damn! Even though we arguably got too much attention, the war between these goobers has kinda just made me glad we haven't had to suffer the same fate. The coven skinline has never been too big a thing for me so I'm relatively indifferent to these buuut Mordekaiser is really fucking cool.

I mean, they waisted the possibility of making a legendary coven syndra, the potential she had, omg

hey nickyboy, would you be interested in my insane ramblings about why Skarner is genuinely getting a Old God skin next year with his rework (which was meant to release at around this time of the year)? its not a joke, I genuinely, actually LITERALLY have evidence to support it.
