One of the creators said in Necrits interview they will be focusing on Noxus, Ionia and Demacia since they've been the most popular amongst people to explore
Sorry to break it for you but, Christian Blake stated their still not on production and they will only make something they are passionate about so It will take a long while.before we get another series.
I absolutely adore that the one video where Riot explicitly works with Skin Spotlights is the video where he dunks on them for their monetization. With accented narration no less! LOVE IT!!
Atakhan spawning at the lane with the most kills might not be a good idea. It just means if top or bot hard loses the enemy is not only fed but gets a free objective. Snowballing is already a massive issue
20 minutes. Current baron timing. Also feats of strength seem more scary atm imo. Tier 3 boots bonuses look massive considering that only one team can get it. But they said something about bad players being worth much less and having dynamic gold modificators from all sources that supposedly will give much better chance of coming back into the game for those who fallen behind. Idk we need to see this first
@@zenixvampirchik652 Thats interesting, although not to disimilar to how the new "bounty" system works currently anyway? It just wouldnt be called a bounty anymore. As long as i can see the "1000 gold!" pop up when i kill an enemy i am happy tbh

(A Psalm of David.) The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. (Chapter 23)
As a Jungle main, I'm afraid that the addition of first team to get enough objectives for a boots improvement will mean that not getting that, regardless of how much that was because of you or not, will just end up as more flaming to you and getting it will not be appreciated at all because then they'll probably still blame you for not enough ganks. Might need to swap to another role. Edit: Also, I understand when making meaningful changes it's easiest to look at the jungle for reworks, but, I'm getting tired of every big map related change it feels like it has to rest on jungler shoulders to adapt more than anyone else. (Sorry if I'm sounding jaded, but then again, I am a league player :p .)
Exactly, as if junglers already didnt have enough in our plate being expected to help every lane, get all objectives and countergank, now we have even more shit we need to do on top of babysit our team, like this will be a nightmare for all junglers

I don't understand why that would make the skin better, just makes it a harder to buy regular skin.
they unironically probably will give us winter maps now, their old engine was a pain in the butt to make widespread changes to the map, but theyve recently updated their game engine and it should be much easier to implement new map stuff
Hope they add some mechanic requirements to trigger the monster spawn that are spreaded on all lane, it will be quite change on lane phase at that time

@AverageWannabe that would be illogical. Cause she uses her sword to glide forward. That's not really a way you want to rush to your allies. Also the range is fine. My issue with her E is the casting speed. It should be more quick since she's like being launched with her engine powered great sword. Also Soul Fighter Samira is more of an Ultimate then Elemental Lux. SF Samira has 5 different features while Elemental Lux has 1.
@@GhoulBandit thats how samira was when they launched her. Thats how she managed her playstyle together with the fact that she is a fragile contact fighter. It makes all the sense in the world. They took away the ally E dash cause all the snowflakey cry at the time
@AverageWannabe yeah. I hate how they say that simple things as dashes are over powered. I bet money they would have a mental breakdown playing games like Dark souls and Devil May Cry. Also I recall she was able to get her E recast on minion kills, which is really good and funny as well. Samira is not that fragile tho. Especially if she has enough crit/armor pen. Speaking of armor pen, I think her ranged Crit Q should apply armor pen effect along with Grievous wound effect. After all her ranged Q is a shot from a 45. Magnum and it should have those effects.
@@GhoulBanditas a normal adc player, hell no, windwall is broken as is, stop asking for handouts when you have dashes that reset and windwalls and a pentakill on R
With the current f2p pass i can get 2 orbs or get up to 6 keys to open 6 chests that can potentially get me 6 skins/cosmetics. And from all of them if i get lucky i could get a legendary skin. So we downgraded from 2 orbs / 6 potential skins to 1 predetermined skin and 1 random 975 rp skin. This is truely what the league of legends community wanted, more f2p battle pass nerfs.
The keys aren't currently a problem. The problem is that u csn barely get chests and in order to do that u gotta play at least 15 games of different champs which is hard to do when u dont have faker sized champion pool and play ranked
@@gruchaczpl5328 It doesnt matter cause the mastery rewards are being removed entirely. Starting with the new season, the only free skins anyone will be able to get is those free pass 975RP skin. Nothing else.
@@gruchaczpl5328 They are both a problem imo. From expiriance u fall int 2 categories: the guy with 100 of keys but no chests, and a guy with 100 of chests but no keys. You can get chests from playing a new champ. But keys are a random drop that u need 3 fragments to get 1 key. And also if u never type in chat. If ur chill but bad at the game u wont get chests, if ur good but called someone a poopybutt then u have no keys but meny chests. And the only way for u to open them is wait for a battle pass. But reguardless, at least you can earn the chests. And if you accumilated them, its much better to get to open 6 of them fro m the pass and even get rerolls, then just 2 orbs. But now u get neither orbs or keys.
Very nice evolution to the game. Swiftplay seems great, new jungle monster and flowers are fun, rank not resetting multiple times a year is also reasonable.
So riot not only nerfed the free chests by introducing the new mastery system but now they removed two free orbs that could give epic (1350 rp) or higher skin from a pass and replaced it with a random 975 rp or lower skin and a free skin that has a quality of 975 rp skin or lower? I'm so happy for that Riot ❤❤❤
If u also had a bunch of chests but no keys, u could've got 6 keys from the battlebass and potentiall get 6 skins + rerolls from it. Not anymore though baby, have fun looking at ur chest collection if u ever get a chat restriction and now have 0 ways of getting keys.

@@RaptorTwitch 3 or 4 it litteraly doesn't matter because the point I'm making is scheduling vs organic releases. Release stuff when it's ready and complete, not because you promised it was gonna be out for a specific date.
This might be one of the nicest updates for league that i have seen in the past maybe 5 years or since summoners rift update design (not this year one with the terrain). I love that we can finally have a thematic map update and have different looking map, it took them 15 years almost to do this but i guess finally. I hope that next time, maybe next year or two, they will expand the map just a tiny bit, because i think they don't have enough space to add new jungle camps like this new big boss, so in my opinion they should expand just a tiny bit the map.
smells like "we f*cked up through the whole season and now with Arcane reminding people we exist (cause most quit our game) we gotta take our chances and do something good for once" kind of season update if you ask me
@Tascioni49 riot has claimed that they have 125 MILLION players signed up a couple years ago, if you account for even 20% being smurfs/alts this is still quite a lot, not even counting China who doesn't release that data due to privacy reasons.
I'm actually so hype for next season now! As a jungler I can already feel the pressure though of another mob being added and trying to balance timings also just feels like jungle is becoming a MORE important role and I'd already say it is the most important so that worries me.. other than that I think every single on of these changes is awesome. Props to Riot for making me have faith in them again.
man I was hoping there'd be a revamp to the mastery token "store" and not just a complete wipe of it, but I am glad that they are giving us other options before it closes
I just saw a message in the Shen main Reddit where the Riot employee who works on that said if you dont get to Honor level 5 until December you can get it for tokens when you reach honor level 5 until next year July for the new Honor skin shop :)
Lo único que quiero es que vuelvan a la tienda de algún modo chromas, icons, emotes y bordes que no haya podido comprar en el pasado. Hay cosas de Aphelios que me faltan y que quiero/necesito xd
First impression there is like no way of coming back if you lose the feats of strength thing. You are already behind and you have no chance dealing with op boots.
They actually brought how TFT handle set machanics into SR. Every season now will have a fresh content to try on. Great path of development for 10y games
The one thing I actually gave credit to Riot where credit is due, is their leveling system for the battlepass. I managed to finish a battlepass with one week and 2 days left because of the catch up quests giving you all that weekly bonus exp.
first time in yeeears hearing his voice I was like HOLY SHIT! WHY DIDNT HE SPEAK SOONER?!?!? hahahah awesome video man thanks for all you do! much love from brazil!
i love the new reward system (not so much the removal of masterwork loot but ll see when its live if i like it) but when are we getting a more streamline and modern client?
I really like the map change, the turrets look siick, and It gets really stale to play on the same map for so long. Simple seasonal weather effects would help, but they won't do that. Some red snow would be so awesome.
The battle pass system seems similar to the battle pass from OW2, however, that battle pass allows you to build towards buying the paid battle pass F2P. If League doesn't give RP or some other standalone equivalent battlepass currency, it's gonna be upsetting knowing their battlepass is worse than a Blizzard battlepass.
It´s a bit early to affirm this definetely, but the changes should make early game champs A LOT stronger. Not necessarily because they themselves will carry the games harder, but in a game with Darius vs Kayle Top as an example, Dariu's team would have much bigger chances of getting pretty all of the feats of strength, right? Plus any Early vc Late game champ side lane should increase the chances of Atakhan spawining on that side, right?
Good for Riot to try to make the game still relevant. Arcane made a huge sucsess, and maybe will bring them new players. The thing is, League is not newbie friendly. They should thing more about a strategy to keep new players in, and invite old players to come back. Well.. Hope it works. I really like this game, even when I don't.
they did atakhan so dirty. he's so cool in LoR. here he's just a larger nocturne that turns red. fitting he gives adaptive force and a revive when his card is play: revive your strongest dead ally attack: grant me power equal to all allies. guess it's keeping with everything being cooler in LoR than in league. but it's not even the same thing is the name just because of mord and the black rose or something?
I dont know about that teleport change... the biggest draw of teleport is appearing instantly. And it makes pro plays alot more exciting versus something flying into the screen...
I was gone for a few seasons and suddenly the Skinspotlight guy has a voice. Incredible.

Adding skins and champs to the free pass is a huge step up from 20 coins and a key fragment
True , I do love the blue essence loop thingy , since you always ran out blue essence for stuff
This will be low effort skins. Look at Valorant. Battle Pass is filled with garbage nobody wants. The same company so expect the same in League.
Now that they are adding a full facha system, the best skins would be putted there for sure.

If they're doing this to the game already, I have a feeling the next part after Arcane is actually closer than they're revealing.
maybe we might finally get a reveal of who the trifarix of guile is
This is quite literally the best overview i could find. Thank you so much skin spotlight.
I just love the noxus aesthetic dude that shit is so cool
Thank you for summarising things for us.
Can't believe the map is changing huhu
I am soooooooooo glad to finally see Thematic Skins return to the map itself. I've been playing since Season Two and good lord do I miss having different maps for Halloween / Christmas. This isn't exactly that, but I'm sure it's about as close as we're gonna get lol.
Ohh. That Axiom Arcanist rune will be incredible on Samira.
not if they dont give her back the ally E dash and maybe some extra range to E as well
@AverageWannabe that would be illogical. Cause she uses her sword to glide forward. That's not really a way you want to rush to your allies. Also the range is fine. My issue with her E is the casting speed. It should be more quick since she's like being launched with her engine powered great sword.
Also Soul Fighter Samira is more of an Ultimate then Elemental Lux. SF Samira has 5 different features while Elemental Lux has 1.
@@GhoulBandit thats how samira was when they launched her. Thats how she managed her playstyle together with the fact that she is a fragile contact fighter. It makes all the sense in the world. They took away the ally E dash cause all the snowflakey cry at the time
@AverageWannabe yeah. I hate how they say that simple things as dashes are over powered. I bet money they would have a mental breakdown playing games like Dark souls and Devil May Cry.
Also I recall she was able to get her E recast on minion kills, which is really good and funny as well.
Samira is not that fragile tho. Especially if she has enough crit/armor pen.
Speaking of armor pen, I think her ranged Crit Q should apply armor pen effect along with Grievous wound effect. After all her ranged Q is a shot from a 45. Magnum and it should have those effects.
@@GhoulBanditas a normal adc player, hell no, windwall is broken as is, stop asking for handouts when you have dashes that reset and windwalls and a pentakill on R
i dont want to assume your use of sarcasm, but your voice inflections/intonations made this enjoyable lol
With the current f2p pass i can get 2 orbs or get up to 6 keys to open 6 chests that can potentially get me 6 skins/cosmetics. And from all of them if i get lucky i could get a legendary skin.
So we downgraded from 2 orbs / 6 potential skins to 1 predetermined skin and 1 random 975 rp skin. This is truely what the league of legends community wanted, more f2p battle pass nerfs.
Average riot game
Hopefully they just increase the drop rate of keys to compensate for some of that, right?
Yeah no chance
The keys aren't currently a problem. The problem is that u csn barely get chests and in order to do that u gotta play at least 15 games of different champs which is hard to do when u dont have faker sized champion pool and play ranked
@@gruchaczpl5328 It doesnt matter cause the mastery rewards are being removed entirely. Starting with the new season, the only free skins anyone will be able to get is those free pass 975RP skin. Nothing else.
@@gruchaczpl5328 They are both a problem imo. From expiriance u fall int 2 categories: the guy with 100 of keys but no chests, and a guy with 100 of chests but no keys.
You can get chests from playing a new champ. But keys are a random drop that u need 3 fragments to get 1 key. And also if u never type in chat.
If ur chill but bad at the game u wont get chests, if ur good but called someone a poopybutt then u have no keys but meny chests. And the only way for u to open them is wait for a battle pass.
But reguardless, at least you can earn the chests. And if you accumilated them, its much better to get to open 6 of them fro m the pass and even get rerolls, then just 2 orbs. But now u get neither orbs or keys.
Very nice evolution to the game. Swiftplay seems great, new jungle monster and flowers are fun, rank not resetting multiple times a year is also reasonable.
This sounds surprisingly good for a change but I'm sure riot will find a way to ruin it, as always.
Looks amazing, one and two, I really hope we still getting that Shyvanna VGU
So riot not only nerfed the free chests by introducing the new mastery system but now they removed two free orbs that could give epic (1350 rp) or higher skin from a pass and replaced it with a random 975 rp or lower skin and a free skin that has a quality of 975 rp skin or lower? I'm so happy for that Riot ❤❤❤
If u also had a bunch of chests but no keys, u could've got 6 keys from the battlebass and potentiall get 6 skins + rerolls from it. Not anymore though baby, have fun looking at ur chest collection if u ever get a chat restriction and now have 0 ways of getting keys.
@@Orendiz Skill issue, just don't get chat restricted
"we are going to change league forever" means - "we aint gonna do shit with game itself, just to take more money" riot is THE JOKE
@@kauanjos3199 Its been half a year and im still at honor lvl 0 since that last chat ban, pls riot poroagony
@@Orendiz It's the exact opposite to me I'm honor 5 since last split
Slight mistake at 1:55, the free pass mystery skin will be 1350rp or lower rather than 975rp or lower.
Bro the plated steelcaps got an upgraded variant. RIP ADC mains
"update to tank items" hmmm surely it will be a nerf... right... right?!
Drututt gonna gp Q himself
Rip assassins when adcs start building them lol
Adcs will also get better attack speed boots
@@pandequeso adcs dont need more attack speed, they have plenty of relatively good items that provide it. What adcs do need tho, is anti tank item that actually deals damage and is not a waste of gold
I'm been with this channel even since I'm new too league and just realize skinspotlights have a voice and not just a walking big S
Cool! Now make it so the launcher doesnt crash after every game!
The SkinSpotlight Guy has a voice!!!!!! 👀 Looking forward for the new season❤
Enough champs we have enough pls just update what we have
I'm just happy map update is back. Love the thematic Summoners Rift we've experienced before.
Promising 1 champion every 3 months in only gonna ensure they release half finished projects that will devolve into balance and bug nightmares.
The year has 12 months. And promising one champion per 1 of the 3 Seasons is as many as this year and less than any other.
It's one every 4 months not every 3
@@RaptorTwitch yes and how did that turn out?
3 seasons a year and you think that means four champs how? Can kids now really not divide 12 by 3?
@@RaptorTwitch 3 or 4 it litteraly doesn't matter because the point I'm making is scheduling vs organic releases. Release stuff when it's ready and complete, not because you promised it was gonna be out for a specific date.
This might be one of the nicest updates for league that i have seen in the past maybe 5 years or since summoners rift update design (not this year one with the terrain). I love that we can finally have a thematic map update and have different looking map, it took them 15 years almost to do this but i guess finally. I hope that next time, maybe next year or two, they will expand the map just a tiny bit, because i think they don't have enough space to add new jungle camps like this new big boss, so in my opinion they should expand just a tiny bit the map.
"The wolf will spawn on the side of the map with most kills and champ dmg."
So bot lane, got it.
I quite enjoy hearing skin spotlights talk in the videos, they should do that more often
smells like "we f*cked up through the whole season and now with Arcane reminding people we exist (cause most quit our game) we gotta take our chances and do something good for once" kind of season update if you ask me
League of Legends is one of the most played games IN THE WORLD, so idk where you're getting your information from.
Thats how live service game works , bad updates -> people quit -> good updates -> people back
@@MarkoPolo36 in the last 2 years LoL lost like 15 million players...
@@Tascioni49 really the only region losing players is NA. Other regions, especially asian regions, are doing great, if not better, than years prior.
@Tascioni49 riot has claimed that they have 125 MILLION players signed up a couple years ago, if you account for even 20% being smurfs/alts this is still quite a lot, not even counting China who doesn't release that data due to privacy reasons.
I'm actually so hype for next season now! As a jungler I can already feel the pressure though of another mob being added and trying to balance timings also just feels like jungle is becoming a MORE important role and I'd already say it is the most important so that worries me.. other than that I think every single on of these changes is awesome. Props to Riot for making me have faith in them again.
Banner from Event pass (battle pass) finally 🙏🙏🔥
Yaaaaaaaaay, Shame it's paid one.
Literally just binged all of arcane right now. This is amazing.
Idk why they break me every year with these sr map changes xD
man I was hoping there'd be a revamp to the mastery token "store" and not just a complete wipe of it, but I am glad that they are giving us other options before it closes
I'm still reeling from how terrible arcane season 2 was i can't appreciate this at all
Video starts at 9:10
Alright this is already a hint the next arcane revolt around noxus invasion to ionia and might be seeing Garen and Darius beefing each other
The map is finally changing, THANK GOD
? aaaaa no its not. they added 1 monster and changed game pass so the can get more money.
@ They changed the lighting, the design of the base, turrets, skybox, ambience, colors and foliage. Yes they changed the map.
@@Aov17729 they changed the colors yes, is it map changing ? no but i guess its still enough for lol players
First time I hear Skinspotlight speak
You should make more videos like this
Thank you for the breakdown.
What is the music that's played in the beginning? Sounds amazing.
im curious about the music too only if someone could help
I just saw a message in the Shen main Reddit where the Riot employee who works on that said if you dont get to Honor level 5 until December you can get it for tokens when you reach honor level 5 until next year July for the new Honor skin shop :)
wow this is so cool, didnt play last split but this gets me back into it for sure
25 OE per 5 levels is so much, I can buy everything with that! I definitely see a point in grinding beyond lvl 50!
Grisly memento and deep ward seem kinda crazy for splitpush assassins like Ekko and Diana
Left for some seasons and only watched esports. Seriously exciting changes, might make me come back for some matches.
Lo único que quiero es que vuelvan a la tienda de algún modo chromas, icons, emotes y bordes que no haya podido comprar en el pasado. Hay cosas de Aphelios que me faltan y que quiero/necesito xd
Ngl I would've loved a new Herald/Grubs/Baron skin.
First impression there is like no way of coming back if you lose the feats of strength thing. You are already behind and you have no chance dealing with op boots.
They actually brought how TFT handle set machanics into SR. Every season now will have a fresh content to try on. Great path of development for 10y games
it would be so cool to have noxus map on one side and on the other side freljord map i would love that
The one thing I actually gave credit to Riot where credit is due, is their leveling system for the battlepass. I managed to finish a battlepass with one week and 2 days left because of the catch up quests giving you all that weekly bonus exp.
The day the multiplayer practice tool comes live should be a national holiday.
first time in yeeears hearing his voice I was like HOLY SHIT! WHY DIDNT HE SPEAK SOONER?!?!? hahahah awesome video man thanks for all you do! much love from brazil!
i love the new reward system (not so much the removal of masterwork loot but ll see when its live if i like it) but when are we getting a more streamline and modern client?
I like the changes so far sounds interesting and Riot be blessed for going back to 1 season... this 3 ranked retes where a pain in the ass.. XD
I really like the map change, the turrets look siick, and It gets really stale to play on the same map for so long. Simple seasonal weather effects would help, but they won't do that.
Some red snow would be so awesome.
The battle pass system seems similar to the battle pass from OW2, however, that battle pass allows you to build towards buying the paid battle pass F2P. If League doesn't give RP or some other standalone equivalent battlepass currency, it's gonna be upsetting knowing their battlepass is worse than a Blizzard battlepass.
It´s a bit early to affirm this definetely, but the changes should make early game champs A LOT stronger. Not necessarily because they themselves will carry the games harder, but in a game with Darius vs Kayle Top as an example, Dariu's team would have much bigger chances of getting pretty all of the feats of strength, right? Plus any Early vc Late game champ side lane should increase the chances of Atakhan spawining on that side, right?
You get the exalted Jinx from sanctum right? Is it actually 32,000 RP or is it gonna be like 16000
I really hope the prestige skins will get better now because I almost always liked the normal version more
Great video, very concise, thanks.
Good for Riot to try to make the game still relevant.
Arcane made a huge sucsess, and maybe will bring them new players.
The thing is, League is not newbie friendly. They should thing more about a strategy to keep new players in, and invite old players to come back.
Well.. Hope it works. I really like this game, even when I don't.
they did atakhan so dirty. he's so cool in LoR. here he's just a larger nocturne that turns red. fitting he gives adaptive force and a revive when his card is
play: revive your strongest dead ally
attack: grant me power equal to all allies.
guess it's keeping with everything being cooler in LoR than in league. but it's not even the same thing is the name just because of mord and the black rose or something?
I dont know about that teleport change... the biggest draw of teleport is appearing instantly. And it makes pro plays alot more exciting versus something flying into the screen...
