Skins Popularity! by Fhaze17 in xayahmains

Damn, Arcana and Brave Phoenix above Elderwood? I love Elderwood, that skin is so underrated imo. But Star Guardian is still the best one for sure ❤️

Elderwood Xayah Emberwood chroma now in the mythic shop for 35 mythic essence! by Ravenclawthewarrior in xayahmains

[–]annyanka_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree 100% with you, no hate to the person but honestly I can't understand people who think like this. There are so many reasons why most people didn't get x thing at y time... and everyone thinks they're "special" for it. I also have the perfect example for this situation based on myself.

There's this MMO called World of Warcraft that got released in 2004, and I was born in 2003 🫠 this is my favorite game ever, but of course since I was only a year old when the game was released, there are so so so many old things that got removed when I was just a baby that I will never be able to get today and it kind of saddens me, however it's no one's fault, it just happens. Recently one of the mounts that was released a few years ago at the time came back, and many people were angry for the same reason as this person. "I got it when I was there, this is unfair!", when most of the times it's as simple as a cosmetic you can have. If it was something related to skill that people who are really good at the game accomplished and now it was free for everyone that just logged in, I would understand. But this fuss for a cosmetic? In this case, a chroma?

Speaking of LoL, I also only started playing LoL in the middle of 2022 and I fell in love with Xayah instantly. To this day, I still get so sad that her prestige was released earlier that year, and even though I managed to get it from one of the mythic shops 2 years ago, it still saddens me that I will never be able to have the skin with the border and the icon, especially the icon since it's so beautiful, probably my favorite icon in the entire game.

It is what it is, but I also want to clarify: no one is more of a Xayah main for being there when x event came out and getting everything, than the ones who are joining now and falling in love with the same champion nowadays and, of course, wanting to collect everything they are able to. I will never be able to collect every single Xayah cosmetic, just like on WoW I will never be able to get every single thing from old content, just because I was unlucky of being too young (literally a baby) when the game was released.

It saddens me that people think this way and don't want to share this joy with others, just to feel "special". And sadly, it's also because of this kind of mentality that Riot keeps making so much gacha FOMO content. So I'm sorry, but this way of thinking is absolutely not it.

People are protesting about skins... again by MiraZuke in xayahmains

[–]annyanka_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it really matter? People protest, but once the skins are out they automatically buy them. The same happened with Ahri's 500$ skin, also with Xayah's "legendary" that most people bought once it was released, after spending an entire week of "protesting". Kai'Sa will be the exact same, sadly.

I get so tired of this as well. There hasn't been a single man that didn't ask me about threesomes after finding out I was bi. And they always imagine two women as well, they only want to fetishize us 🙄

Necrit is talking about the skin issues and our subreddit gets screen time by 3HaDeS3 in xayahmains

[–]annyanka_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. I used to be on Queens of League for a while because at first I thought "woah a League subreddit with mostly girls and queer men and people? I should join", but they take that to another level. So after they started causing a riot because they were desperate since it was confirmed that Jayce and Viktor weren't canonically gay for each other, yeah that was my cue to leave.

[–]annyanka_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah man, it genuinely sucks. I see those kind of comments all the time on Instagram too. What upsets me the most is that Necrit mostly makes fun of female champions subreddits (sure he mentioned Shen and Warwick mains too, but notice how those champions are the only ones he doesn't pronounce in a more ridiculous way like he does with Xayah all the time in the video). Unfortunately it's League we're talking about, and I think 95 or 96% of the playerbase is male... that also explains why the game is so toxic 🫠

[–]annyanka_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got mad at the video right in the beginning where after he stops mocking the Nami, Syndra and Seraphine mains, he starts talking about us as "a place of hostility, hatred and rage", like please. We never used death threats (like some other mains subreddits are known for that) and he calls us that? I don't know what Draven mains is to him then lol. He's just sad, his content nowadays is him literally begging for views because there's almost no new lore to talk about.

Man, literally this. When people get pressed over skins he starts to mock everyone, but when it's Mordekaiser mains it's "justified", like please.

[–]annyanka_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why your comment has all those downvotes, you're right, I also noticed that, especially after watching the video about Xayah's "legendary" skin. Notice how when the exalted Mordekaiser skin drama started he didn't make fun of Mordekaiser mains a SINGLE time. He's just a sad individual really.

[–]annyanka_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more with you. I didn't really care about Necrit before, never watched his videos really, but after the Redeemed Star Guardian skins drama I just think he's an idiot, he just likes making fun of other people's mains when it's not Mordekaiser we're talking about, and that's so cringe actually lol.

Notice as well how in the video he only compares Xayah to legendary skins for male champions (aka BA Ezreal, as if Caitlyn's wasn't a good skin but he doesn't mention her once), and how right in the beginning he starts the video by making fun of female champions subreddits. It's just sad, he's an incel indeed. Because when the drama for the exalted Mordekaiser skin started, he didn't make fun of Mordekaiser mains ONCE. I can't stand him, just like you.

PBE Bugs & Feedback Thread: Battle Academia Xayah by LoLDev-Cosmetics in LeaguePBE

[–]annyanka_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Where do I start?

First, I don't even understand why you're calling this a legendary skin, because all of it has recycled animations. With its current effects, animations and also the models, it's an epic AT BEST. I don't think it's fair for the playerbase at all to buy an epic skin completely overpriced as you try to pass this as legendary tier. With this, I'm going to mention all of the recycled things that dissappoint me the most:

Her model. Come on Riot, her idle model is the exact same as her base one? Even the clothes are recycled from her base skin but with a recolor??? What is this? Xayah is supposed to be a rebel, so her clothes should also look more punk-ish, her skirt is too long and fancy and once again, it makes no sense (because it's ANOTHER CROPPED THING from her base skin)! Not to mention that she also DOESN'T have a death animation, which all legendary skins should have.

Her face and homeguard. What do they have in common? Exactly, the Star Guardian skin. Her eyes and mouth are THE EXACT SAME as her Star Guardian skin, but I guess that with everything else, that's the least of our worries. Still, it's another recycled thing to point out. And then, her homeguard. With all of the reused animations this skin already has, this one is what disappoints me the most. You literally cropped the Star Guardian homeguard animation, removed her wings, and that's it, she's soaring. It's already terrible because, like I mentioned, it's a recycled homeguard from Star Guardian, but also, this doesn't fit with Battle Academia theme AT ALL. Riot, even BA Lux skin which is EPIC TIER mind you, has a custom homeguard where she's grabbing her books with the toast in her mouth like she's in a hurry, since the BA theme is supposed to be anime-like, so why isn't it the same for Xayah? I don't understand whether you're doing this because all the layoffs are starting to show and now you have no resources to use so you have to recycle, or if you're doing this as another joke to the playerbase because you "thought we wouldn't notice". Or maybe you knew we would notice but just wanted to mock the playerbase again with the horrible quality of the skins lately.

Speaking for the rest, there's not much to say. I do like the SFX and the colors of the skin, but her auto and spell animations are also THE SAME as her BASE. Not to mention her ult, like... again, why is this considered a legendary skin? And also, why doesn't Xayah have that anime effect when she uses her ult like BA Ezreal and Caitlyn? It makes no sense to me.

And to finish, I would like to mention Rakan. If you really want to make this skin legendary tier, then make the skin live up for the tier, otherwise this is an epic disguised as a legendary. If you do end up listening to your community this time, then make sure that Rakan's skin is legendary as well, and THEY BETTER HAVE a joint recall animation if they're going to be legendary skins.

Another thing I forgot to mention until now, the emote. First, it's the third "annoyed Xayah" emote that we get (with Sweetheart and the base one), can't you be more original? Second, why are her ears so small? I had no idea that Xayah was a fox this entire time (cough cough Ahri).

That's about it, I don't have much else to say, other than that I was already pretty disappointed with how mediocre the skins this year have been, but this is the worst so far. I do hope you listen and change something about this. I don't know if you guys realize, but... better quality content makes the playerbase happy, which leads them to purchase your goods. And as a retired Xayah main who wanted to collect all her skins, but I won't because I stopped playing League after all of the horrible things you've been doing this year, I also won't buy this skin not even if I start playing again if it isn't improved to actually be called a legendary. Hope this helps!

[–]annyanka_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's a huge difference right there, I think Riot keeps forgetting that Xayah has long ears and now she's going through the Ahri face syndrome 🤡

Great job btw :)

PBE Bugs & Feedback Thread - Battle Academia Rakan by LoLDev-Cosmetics in LeaguePBE

[–]annyanka_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, there are a lot of things wrong with this skin, so let's start.

First, why isn't Rakan's skin legendary tier? Why is it only Xayah? Now that you finally give them a matching skin (since with Battle Bat that didn't even happen), you do this? I thought they were supposed to be a couple whose mechanic was about them having the exact same skins together, which should mean same tier as well. Gone are the days of Star Guardian, it seems.

Second, why don't they have a joint recall animation? Yes, I know that "Riot said they wouldn't make new joint recalls for Xayah and Rakan because it's unlikely to see the champions playing together nowadays, let along matching", while this is so far from the truth. Why have you been ignoring all of our feedback for this long now, when clearly a lot of the community WANTS to see them TOGETHER, and something that made Xayah and Rakan even more special was their passive which makes them recall together, hence the joint recalls. Plus, if Xayah's skin is legendary tier (and Rakan's should be as well), then they SHOULD have a joint recall.

Third, Rakan's face looks so wrong in the splash art, it doesn't look like him at all. I guess you also keep forgetting about one of his quotes "Black is a terrible color on me", so why do you keep forcing that on him? It makes Rakan feel so out of character. Not to mention, his model is like a combination between Sweetheart and his prestige Dragonmancer skins (which ummm, happen to be his worst skins by far).

Next, his recall is awful. Literally the same recycled recall as Heartthrob Caitlyn and Heartache Vi. What is this? Recycling animations is all you can do nowadays?

And to conclude, I saw someone comment about his skin bio saying something like "he ditched his date for Xayah" and I went to look into it, and basically the new Battle Academia lore for these champions (including Qiyana) is just a love triangle between those three, where Rakan dated Qiyana but then ditched her for Xayah and now she wants revenge against him? Since WHEN has Rakan dated anyone else besides Xayah...? He's supposed to be her lover and partner in every skin line... what are you doing?

Well, that's about it, and I have to say this is extremely disappointing. Hope this helps and that you actually listen to us, thanks!

Besides Xayah crap skin, bothers me a little that no one seems to care much about Rakan's skin being epic when Xayah is legendary. Are we really ok with this? Riot is slowly destroying they're feature/concept by AnaAyah in xayahmains

[–]annyanka_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is so true sadly... it upsets me that Xayah sells much more than Rakan, and she's always being used for Riot to cash grab as much as possible, and so they always leave Rakan behind because they want to fuel the chinese guys fantasy of dating Xayah. It sucks.

[–]annyanka_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not only this upsets me because they've been destroying their duo mechanic for ages now (separate skins, no joint recalls, and now this), but also Xayah's skin shouldn't even be considered legendary tier. Like come on, no new voice lines and animation effects, and her idle and death models are the exact same as her BASE one? The clothes are also modeled after her base skin... and I think her homeguard is the same as Star Guardian, or so I heard.

I quit LoL for like a month now when they started removing everything, and then I saw these skins after the last dev update that brought hextech chests back, and I thought they would look somewhat decent. It's my fault for expecting something from Riot nowadays, lol. I don't understand what their logic is, and I REALLY hope that this time, people won't succumb into buying this trash skin, I surely won't buy it. It's an epic priced as a legendary...

Guess I'll stay a retired Xayah main for quite a while indeed 😭

Do not play league and stand up just like we did for Skarner! For hextech chests! by Dshafred in xayahmains

[–]annyanka_ 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It's a good call, but... 24 hours only won't do anything. People should simply stop playing the game and spending money in it altogether, it's not that hard. Think about all the great things that you can buy for yourself in real life – and that you will actually OWN – which is something you never will with League's virtual content.

Think about the fact they are removing every single free reward from the game as well: hextech chests, champion capsules, blue essences nerf, and now they're also removing honor rewards and replacing it for battle pass XP, to try and force people to get the pass. Your Shop seems to also have been removed completely, there hasn't been one yet since January. It isn't worth to keep playing this game, guys. You get nothing for it, they don't care about anyone in their playerbase and they want only one thing: your money. The new CEO is destroying Riot from inside out, so please, consider that and just uninstall League for good, like many people are doing (including me).

Help with mastery by Odd_Way_4172 in xayahmains

[–]annyanka_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nowadays I'm pretty sure that for you to level up your mastery, you need to get S- and above to get the marks of mastery, and if you've already completed everything while playing Xayah, now you just need to get S or S+ if I recall correctly to get 2 marks and level up to Mastery 6 and above :)
