Also, by Riot standards, this shouldn't be a legendary skin. All of the model animations are just the same as her default one. At best, a 1350 RP skin.
@@Destroyer2150They're not the same, the same way her base walking animation isn't the same as Shyvana's Unfortunately, Riot made the animations way too similar to the base version, a lesson I thought they had learned with Project Pyke, that legendary skin has the same problems, Pyke already had great animations so Riot didn't make too dramatic of a change, something they've cleary worked upon on his second legendary Empyrean Pyke Ambessa will get many skins though, she has everything at her disposal to become a popular champion, and consequently, have a bunch of purchasable cosmetics, hopefully eventually she gets a more satisfying legendary on this regard
I love how the video shows 4 ways of death canon to the lore: Kindred showing up, Mordekaiser style death realm, fighting against Pantheon on Targon, and a mental recreation of Shuriman afterlife. It gives so much cool depth to it.
Aren’t there other “gods of death” (idk what to call them lol) besides kindred? I remember legends of runeterra showcasing the mask mother and some other stuff like the astral fox
@@funderscoretoast3220There are indeed other spirit gods who embody death, like the Astral Fox or the Last Wind. Mask mother is by some believed to have made these embodiments of death. Besides that variations of the interpretation of Kindred by mortals exist. With some having different nicknames or visualisations for them, and some favouring Lamb or Wolf over the other.
What's kind of ironic is that subtle pulses of red glow that happened during that final call back animation looked super cool while still showing off her design. If only that had been what happens
Yeah that recall showing off how the skin SHOULD look was a twist of the knife tbh. I hope they put in a patch to just have the energy be like that. Coiling whisps over that darker masked form
LoL itself is a game that’s growing old. Based on systems and logic decades old, it’s like seeing a 80’s Buick with a touchscreen and surround system audio.
Should have given the legendary to Kindred so they could actually look like the music video. Wolf as the main body, the imposing jackal god, with the shattered statue of innocence floating around him, whispering distantly of mercy
The concept is genuinely so good I feel like they could have just switched out the haze effect for red smoke that surrounds her so you can still actually see the skin
It is weird that I love the color combination as a german, but for no patriotic reason, but because those colors go hard together. My Warhammer Minis are a testament to that.
Day 1 of reminding comments that TB Skyen's videos are at their best when he's talking about something he's personally passionate about. If you want him to make videos about other games or anime or whatever, use your own passion and make them yourself!
They could've toned down the effects. That could've made it better. But the MV though? Holy Garbodor, the animation is exquisite. And Sherryl Lee Ralph nailed it. God, I love her voice.
Pretty sure the animations are recycled from base as well (aside from emotes OFC), like they are trying to cover up the reused animations with an overload of effects
The “muscle memory” comment followed by Cyraxx almost immediately crashing is kind of a perfect representation of Raxx’s mental state and online “career”
My friend asked me one day if I have any of the cow skins and I was dumbfounded until he explained to me that that's what he's calling the chosen of the wolf line
TBH the Chromas of the skin are actually that good but man what's the point of those Chromas if we all can see on the screen is just PURE CRIMSON RED and nothing else?
I think the Noxian shape language helps to combat the fatigue of the usual gold accents, since Swain, Sion, Farron, etc. typically wear dark armor. It's sorta novel. But yeah, shame you can't see it with that red aura.
I was more disappointed with the Kindred skin. It's just the Wolf and...the *other* Wolf. Oh boy.... Not only that, but I saw that Kindred-looking figure that gave young Ambessa the honor of being a member of the Wolf Clan or whatever they're called, and THAT should have been the Legendary skin for Kindred. Big L on Riot....
It's so sad that the coolest part of the design - the mask - is hidden by the red mush and not part of the skin otherwise. That one really, REALLY made the design in the video. Urgh. The legendary should have gone to Kindred after all.
Great videos as always. I couldn't help but notice the hades I soundtrack on the back, and it is my understanding that you are a fan of Hades 1 and 2. So, I wanted to ask if you would ever consider a series on the design of that franchise.
I really like the red though, becuase it kind of shows how calm and competent she is when not fighting, and how rabidly she does fight. I do think that the recall is bad though. Id have given it a C+
It needs only be good from afar, i personnally RLY love it, the color combination just works, and lore skins are just, insane. I rly think the visual effects are cool, they are over the top, but thats exactly what you need when you see it from so far away, it wouldnt read so well if it was better and more complex. At least thats what I think :,)
You are genuinely my favorite RUclipsr, we have the EXACT same interests and preferences in video games it’s crazy lmao, and your takes are spot on imo. You’re very cool long story short lol
They could have put a bit more effort in her “enraged” status (making it more bloody with actual good effects idk) and just given it to her ult so that the base ambessa can be enjoyed without the effect being way too overwhelming
I don't understand why Ambessa is a playable character in the game hence she died in Arcane, unless she went through a coma or something I'm so confused 😂
Seeing the red mess fade away into a genuinely good looking skin just made me sad
It's like my younger self trying to make my character look cool in game with tons of character customization
How bad could- oh lord that is just a mess
Also, by Riot standards, this shouldn't be a legendary skin. All of the model animations are just the same as her default one. At best, a 1350 RP skin.

Exactly 💀💀💀💀💀 "It can't be that ba-oh it's that bad"
They can just add the red effect on the eyes and hands tho..
Also no need fire effect. Just like glowing aura is enough
Chosen of the Wolf Ambessa gets covered in marinara sauce for her abilities, GREAT!
She's here and she's hungry.... for spaghetti! Or political power, but mostly spaghetti.
@@dunstonlion1342 the lady seems to have her priorities straight 🤣
Lost in the sauce...

its confirmed that wasnt mordekaisers death realm, but just a death realm in noxus, they are different
@stefancrnogorac2121 similar enough though.

That looks cool. I wonder if it was a case that they thought they needed the change to be very easily and obviously visible....so went overboard.
Thank you. I’m glad someone else finally mentioned how bad the red goop looks.
ALSO WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MASK THAT WAS THE COOLEST PART
She actuality gets the mask while in the big muddy red glowing haze form, it's very hard to notice though
With the Hades Music in the background the effects remind me of Ares' Call ability in that game. She looks just like that red and black blur lol
It's like they made a very solid skin, and then coated it in chilli powder
This skin is sponsored by the color red.
Red. You will see it.
Oooh, Hades OST!
I thought i was the only one that heard it
LoL itself is a game that’s growing old. Based on systems and logic decades old, it’s like seeing a 80’s Buick with a touchscreen and surround system audio.
True
Peak riot incompetence

in the recall looks so much better that it feels two separate teams worked on the same skin without any inch of actual teamwork.
Compared to brand, the dude who's literally on fire 24/7, this skin somehow still manages to look even MORE on fire
"Black, red and gold is such a good color combination" *German national anthem starts playing*
or Belgium
It is weird that I love the color combination as a german, but for no patriotic reason, but because those colors go hard together. My Warhammer Minis are a testament to that.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately thought 'ew' when the vfx activated on the skin in the video.

Man, fuck you. (joking)
But, alright, point taken.
The world is so bleak, everyone is turning on each other, but at least tb skyen is back
Red from the tomatoes people are chucking at it.
“Great animations” almost 1 for 1 with the default.
You know shits is bad when skyen brings up the vfx
They could've toned down the effects. That could've made it better.
But the MV though? Holy Garbodor, the animation is exquisite. And Sherryl Lee Ralph nailed it. God, I love her voice.
Idk about the mess part, turning red, becomes a mess, like a bloody mess, like how a wild animal would fight.
Makes sense
hades music on a lol video is a badass choice
Wait… that music is giving me Hades vibes.
Pretty sure the animations are recycled from base as well (aside from emotes OFC), like they are trying to cover up the reused animations with an overload of effects
This skin serves beyond the thunderdome
For the echo system just.... chief kiss......waveplateless moment
I didnt even knew she had an skin, I thought she launched skinless
If I was the person responsible for this skins model, I would have been SOOOOO SALTY XD
The “muscle memory” comment followed by Cyraxx almost immediately crashing is kind of a perfect representation of Raxx’s mental state and online “career”
But pentakill lost chapter Yorick cant have a hat for “visual clarity” reasons
Concept: decent
Implementation: strictly sub-par
Ey thats the Hades soundtrack on the background!
As someone who came back to league after 2 years, seeing a red blob in front of me made me back the fuck up and saved my life
Now I wanna play Hades
Nice story. Hope for a part 2.💜
Hell, turning her weapons into wolf heads when she has empowered autos, like in her recall would be so much better
My friend asked me one day if I have any of the cow skins and I was dumbfounded until he explained to me that that's what he's calling the chosen of the wolf line

Didnt even mention that in-game the gold is egg-colored and the hair isnt even true white. Its just overall a huge miss in-game.
“tf is that smell”
ambessa: “that’s aura 😈”
I'm sorry, IS THAT THE HADES SOUNDTRACK I HEAR?!?!
It's like tears of the kingdom Ganondorf done badly. I hope that makes sense to some of you
It’s confirmed, Ambessa’s under Le Blanc’s control
He’s back!
Im just vibin with the hades ost in the backround
It may not look good but it really helps distinguishging her in teamfights when im zipping around with a million dashes
I was more disappointed with the Kindred skin. It's just the Wolf and...the *other* Wolf. Oh boy....
Not only that, but I saw that Kindred-looking figure that gave young Ambessa the honor of being a member of the Wolf Clan or whatever they're called, and THAT should have been the Legendary skin for Kindred. Big L on Riot....
Lol she looks like knuckles with all that red mess
Crazy how to get effect in her recall animation looks better than the skin in motion
They should have just made the tattoos more prominent and then have thwm glow brightly if they wanted that.
Behold! The Ketchup Monster!
I think the red overload is the point since it's a mystical red glowey power
It's so sad that the coolest part of the design - the mask - is hidden by the red mush and not part of the skin otherwise. That one really, REALLY made the design in the video.
Urgh. The legendary should have gone to Kindred after all.
Me as a German: Yes, Black red and gold is a great colour combination
They added so much color and contrast to the skin just to have it on permanent red when playing it.
If it was an epic skin then it wouldn't be that bad. Walking animation screams epic skin
What it’s just an ordinary- OH MY GOODNESS
RIOT!
Black Red and Gold mentioned!!!! 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
What it's just a regular ski- OH MY GOODNESS ! R I O T !!!!
Great videos as always.
I couldn't help but notice the hades I soundtrack on the back, and it is my understanding that you are a fan of Hades 1 and 2. So, I wanted to ask if you would ever consider a series on the design of that franchise.
Oh well. More layoffs and 200$+ skins I guess!
She's going Kaioken leave her alone 🤣
I really like the red though, becuase it kind of shows how calm and competent she is when not fighting, and how rabidly she does fight. I do think that the recall is bad though. Id have given it a C+
Well that's a rather interesting choice for some background music
Very good > splotchy blood puddle > badass
Based music choice. Hades is awesome.
It’s a legendary I thought it was an epic😭😂
Hades music is goated
Well it is rare i am this early. Very insightful as always.
Apparently her build was supposed to be shyvanas rework. I mean look at how she runs and holds her hands.
Charged is like a infernal skin
What, it's just an ordinary skin-OH MY GOODNESS
Chosen by the time of the month
Get rid of the red riot! Oops, accidental my hero reference there 😂
HADES MUSIIIC
It's also more canon than her base skin now. Iykyk
It needs only be good from afar, i personnally RLY love it, the color combination just works, and lore skins are just, insane.

hades music pog
No wonder I never see this skin in game. (First time seeing the vfx rn)
I dont even play leage but i still like it with the red😅
Tomato Soup Ambessa
You are genuinely my favorite RUclipsr, we have the EXACT same interests and preferences in video games it’s crazy lmao, and your takes are spot on imo. You’re very cool long story short lol
Still walking like shyvanna
Marinara sauce 😂
That's like some PS1 jank. Like, *Launch title* levels of jank.
What's the song in the background? I've heard it before but can't remember where ;_;
Please discuss the hideous new mythic Swain skin.
I got this skin on my first reroll lol
They could have put a bit more effort in her “enraged” status (making it more bloody with actual good effects idk) and just given it to her ult so that the base ambessa can be enjoyed without the effect being way too overwhelming
Wait wait wait...
Black...Red...Gold
Where have I seen that before...
🇩🇪
Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Kommentarbereich!
Ambessa hat ab heute deutsche Pass
I don't understand why Ambessa is a playable character in the game hence she died in Arcane, unless she went through a coma or something I'm so confused 😂
It doesn't matter if a champ is dead or not in lore
The only good looking thing abot this is the loading screen, and even that is just ok.
It looks like when the game doesn't load properly
Looks like she got cursed by bright Warframe abilities lol too much red and whatnot
Honestly, I thought it was guardian of the sands Khazix the first time I saw it in game.
