    Gun Goddess Miss Fortune originally costed the same amount of RP as any other Ultimate Skin, but it was reduced because the community thought of the skin having less quality skin compared to previous Ultimate Skins

    A LOT of hate for Seraphine stems from her marketing, and that she (as a new champion) got an ultimate skin on release. Also, I remember that skin getting a lot of hate for its quality as an Ultimate skin (before Samira's lowered it more). Were you not playing League back then?
    Strongly disagree with your Seaphine points, but otherwise great video man. Take my sub.

      hey thanks! I was going to include how some people didn't appreciate that seraphine (a fake person) was pretending to have anxiety to be relatable, but all of the potential screenshots to showcase people not happy with it, were lets just say "not showcaseable" xd - thanks for the feedback!

    Ultimate skin concept for Mordekaiser: Make a skin themed like Gatekeeper Galio. Make it so when Mordekaiser ults a champion, he sends them to their destined circle of the 9 circles of hell, based on which sins a champion has committed in their lore.
    Some people will say this is too much work, but i see no problem as older ultimate skins were really high in quality. Its about time Riot raises their standards. Its unaceptable for 2023 ultimate skins to be worse than 2015 ones, in both quality and quantity.

      They would have to update this skin with every new champion release and create over 100 models probably this is incredibly unrealistic lmao

    Soul fighter Samira is no different than a lengedary skin. The only difference is that she has a different hud overlay experience when you can R. Even the pentakill animation is not ultimate-exclusive, as Empyrean Pyke also has one. Kinda sad how Riot has started to rush already overpriced skins only to make money from idiots who buy them.

    The trend ended with Sera's skin, not Samira's lol. (Probably ended with MF's? as people said it lacked quality for being an ultimate skin. Her forms barely change...) Sera's got so much hate because she was the latest champion being released, BUT WITH AN ULTIMATE SKIN, that you CAN'T change forms in game, also adds to the skin not being worthy of being called an ultimate, in people's eyes. Samira's is just worse even. The worst probably. A very cool skin, but the worst of the ultimates.
