@@di5963i wanted a cute dragon champion, this is Skylanders Spyro the Dragons rejected brother with the most basic children personality and a voice i want to punch
@@igormarcautan8888I think the main problem is the face. Why give him a humanoid baby face that just looks straight out of the uncanny valley. No other dragon in lor has a baby face like that, why does he look like a dragon that would appear in a straight to video how to train your dragon knock off. The face is just...
@otutodirichiemerole2916 I took their comment to mean the face is weird because it's so human despite him being a dragon. I thought the same when I watched it. "Oh nice a cute dragon champion, wait why tf is his eyes and face so human."
@@malsawmzela609 I 100 percent agree. It doesn't make sense that Riot said themselves that Nocturne gets played a lot because of the way he looks but puts him down because of his lackluster kit and that's just one example. So I don't know where they are getting there statistics.
@@ethanstyant9704 my man I just want riot to put out a legit monster character. The face is a problem yes, but overall everyone was expecting a dragon not some smooth faced abomination.
@@invictushavocgaming i legit dont know how was everyone expecting a legit dragon when riot said its gonna be "adorable" in their roadmap. You guys overhyped that champion yourselves, no wonder you're disappointed. I never expected anything to begin with, but people went crazy with their theories and bam, you got a disappointment..
Yeah but you can make him more feral and still have adorable. How to train your dragon or Dragon prince both showed you can have whimsical and cute without compromising on the dragon aspect.@@Nek-oski
Why does he have a voice, where no non-celestial ones can't. I mean his mom is not talking either and I dought they do a shyvana mage bs to be an excuse
I assume it’s a joke (I mean the name already is obviously a joke) and they are just teasing the (way too long) awaited shyvana rework which should happen this year with Skarner as far as I remember
@@klavicus2276Shyvana rework isn't starting anytime soon. After Skarner it's going to be a new champion base on Arcane before Shyvana. Soonest is 2025
This is the cringiest champion I have ever seen released. How is this League of Legends??? This comes straight out of My Little Pony or something. Riot do better
You know I normally dont complain when it comes to champ designs. However this is a bit much. A normal dragon is also cute, they didnt have to take it this far
He's got human eyes, nose, mouth entire human face and weird fat things on the side that are supposed to be ears? Hope they're trolling us with this child and the other dragon in the trailer is the actual champion
This actually has a name: The Uncanny Valley. It looks human enough to not be monstrous but monstrous enough not to be human. Your mind is hardwired to notice stuff like this.
Yes we like Aurelion Sols design, yes we like elder drake design and yes we wanted a so long awaited shyvana vgu she so deserves and would make her a badass female dragon champ… do they wanna troll us or do they simply don’t care for the old dragon fan base of league? it’s kinda insulting
riot hates "normal" we are never getting another warrior with armor and a weapon, we are never getting a monster with big teeth and a scary design. its all too normal for them
@@bestaatroxeuw we have a shitton of regular warrior types already. I agree that this design blows horsecock, but I don't need yet another generic dude with a sword and a shield.
@@M4RCi92 i dont want generic, but i want something less "trying to be a different design too hard" something thats simplistic, yet cool. think warhammer 40k spacemarines, they are a great simple yet cool design
@@bestaatroxeuw its like in the past. All want a knight riding a hourse, but cavalery is to "normal" for riot so we get kled. A hamster riding a lizard.
@@bestaatroxeuwwe already have a couple of big dudes with big weapon in big armor. Garen, Darius, j4, trynd, arguably Sion, panth, xin, aatrox for a monsterized version, and I'd say you can throw K'sante in there if you really stretch the definition. There's a ton of those type of characters already.
Whats so wrong with actual cool design??? Why must we always get baby face or generic anime lookiny champs?? What happened to uniqueness and being cool or badass or even mystical?
They promised us a creature champ and gave us a human toddler cosplaying as a creature. The sickly sweet voice and punch-worthy face of this needlessly anthropomorphized & cynically cutesy Disney-spawn is an insult I will never forget.
What are you saying my guy? They quite literally promised you a champion that was "much much cuter!" than Naafiri. They described him as "young and smol." They said that "one day he will have a mighty roar!"
I would like to thank my fellow Americans and alley Europeans that have come together to dislike this cheap, uninspired, baby style design. Now hopefully the asians agree with us and the ratio only gets bigger.
how much do you want to bet that this thing has concept art that is 1000 x better than what we are shown here, like a lot of recent release there will be banger concept art compared to this terrible design
Its because Tencent always has the final say. And if the champions don’t look like they are conventionally appealing and can only vomit glitter than the stockholders want nothing to do with it.
@@degeneratewithasideoftidep6795 reptiles got their eyes on the side and they are predators.. Especially when you look at birds and lizzards which i guess are the closest to a dragon
Please rito, there's still time! Change his eyes, its so uncanny and weird, it is a creature it NEEDS different eyes than humans, the nose and shape of the face can still be the same (and HE TALKS) so people will know its not any wild dragon....
I hope his design will "evolve" like kha'zix into something that actually looks like a dragon. don't tell me it's impossible to make a good dragon head in league when we have asol and shyvana ult. I have no idea why they went for the disney design
@@rngesus7641 wich most likely will be tied to his kit. Not his design... They said something similar for Bel'vet, about her true nature... We just got a timed form after she ult, wich isen't much
I'm so sad for Riot to flop like this. How didn't they recognise the design isn't good? Are rioters tastes completely different from ours? Sonic design story repeats. Again. A monster is a monster, a human is a human. Strange collages don't work. Please riot, fix it before releasing
I cannot fathom how this made it to release. A dozen people, bare minimum, must have worked on this or seen it before it went out, and none of them said "hey, this looks less like a dragon and more like a yordle had a child with a bat and set it on fire."
Hmm... At first i was "why Nunu narrate this story?" Did not expect such... Thing... When you mentioned a dragon i expected something like shyvana ulti or asol or any elemental dragon... Not spyro with millio's face stamped on The first sonic trailer diden't teach anything to nobody?
This comment section is absolutely incredible 🤣 Dear god Riot, idk if this is nunu’s cousin in a spiro costume or something but please just put him back in the egg and do what they did for the Sonic Movie, he ain’t ready yet lmfao
Please for the love of god change the face. I like him, but that face is just horrendous. He's never gonna be an appealing human character, so don't try and force it. Just make him a full dragon and literally everyone will be happier.
I was so looking forward to having just a normal dragon in the game, and am horrified by what I just witnessed. What were they thinking? It has a bizarre human-looking face and looks and sounds like it strode straight out of a Pixar movie. Champion designs have been rapidly going downhill since Lexical took charge. I suppose I should thank her for gradually making me less addicted to this game.
@@hoiman2356 Naafiri has an awesome design. Who tf complained about Naafiri’s design? Are you one of those dimension hoppers? Milio, Brair and Hwei’s character designs are all miles better than this… Only “modern champs” that have come out that people have ever had a major issue with has been Belveth, Kai’sa and Seraphine to my knowledge. What do they have in common with this “dragon” is that they were all teased as something else. IMO the only one of the three Champions that can somewhat get away with this is Belveth (because her entire trope is imitation.) This little guy is NOT a Dragon, he’s a foreign Disney rip off mixed with Spyro with some My Little Pony sprinkled in for extra pdf flavour. TOPLANERS REJOICE another child to abduct! (In game ofc)🤣
@@hoiman2356 Maybe because he's complaining about disney characters? why would he complain about a disney character and speak of bel'veth? makes no sense
I babysit iPad kids and even they hate zero effort pandering like Wreck it Ralph 2 and the Emoji movie. Once they hit 8 or 9 years old, Paw Patrol cutesie faces become "baby stuff" Guess Riot wants actual toddlers now??
While I get he needs to be easily distinguished from Asol and Shyvana (not just in design, but also personality wise), this just feels like such a bland attempt at a dragon, particularly when Runeterra already has so many interesting dragon designs to choose from. Even externally, a black dragon from DnD (acid instead of fire, and 10x more cruel than both Shyv and Asol), a dedicated ice dragon, a void dragon, the list goes on. The appeal and power-fantasy just gets diminished by their attempt at contrast versus the other two.
