Riot·Feb 5, 2016·3 votes·16,137 views

Cosplayer Jessica Nigri joins Sam, Jimmy, and James this week on ALL Chat! Jessica talks about her newest Kindred cosplay and her first con experiences. Against James’ protests, we have a champion dance competition and things get weird.

Josh thought that he had jury duty so he couldn’t make this episode but ended up NOT having jury duty. Instead, he posted on Snapchat and angrily paced around backstage all day.

Nigri... proving that the effort put into your cosplay doesn't matter as long as you have boobs Sona

StexeFeb 5, 20166 votes

She puts a lot of effort into her cosplays. And anyone can have boobs -- they are called implants. Nothing wrong with getting augmentations. You still need some talent to pull it off.

She is notorious for sacrificing accuracy for the sake of revealing. I personally don't agree with that, but if she enjoys it then it doesn't really matter. summoner 13

If she likes doing so then let her have her fun. Why sacrifice fun for accuracy?

RudeafFeb 6, 20163 votes

They literally went into cos-"play" have fun with it. And putting your own twist on it. If her twist is her physical features and personality, how is that sacrificing accuracy?

Interesting to see Nigri on. She's been pretty much every where at one point or another.

Also, lots of close touching in this episode. Looks just awkward to me.

Oh -- and Graves has a cigar in the fan art and FEATURED fan art... but still can't have one in game. Can't he get one on an alt skin? The same way Gragas Esq has one. Just don't release the alt skin in places that frown upon it so much as to not allow it in games.

Maybe Graves decided he's done smoking. Stop trying to force the man into his vices.

...But seriously, it doesn't make sense from a logistical standpoint to have region-specific content--especially not on such an international platform. There's too much cross-viewership through national events to make it worthwhile, and complicating content distribution--no matter how minor the content difference--is a risk factor that can complicate things far more than most would expect.

As a business decision, it just doesn't make sense. Gragas likely only retained his because skins are considered 'peripheral content'.

Region specific content does make sense. It plays into what fans enjoy. That's why they create region specific skins for other places. Yes, we get access to most of it (the tournament winner skins) but I don't see why they couldn't have more.

That's inaccurate. There is no content that is region-specific anywhere in League. They'll do discounts or giveaways in specific regions, but all of the content is available across all regions.

The Worlds Winner skins were originally region specific. They were then released worldwide a few months later.

Karthus had region specific splash art because skeleton bones are taboo in China. When he was redesigned they removed all his bones (same with Sion) so it would not be region specific. Just saying in the past they have had region specific stuff -- it was problematic for them, but it isn't unprecedented.

Also, there are region themed content. Like the Lunar skins, Uncle Ryze / Statue of Karthus, and others.

coeurloyalFeb 9, 20161 votes

Right, they were. But if they had logistical difficulties with having region-specific content with their prior character models, why would they continue to develop content that they know can't be displayed internationally? Why would they force themselves to increase their workload for an insignificant detail like a cigar in a splash? Why leave open the chance that they make an error with content deployment? Where is the profit in that decision? Why does he even need a cigar?

I realize people are about to exclaim how central the cigar is to Graves' personality, but in truth it's not. He's still the same character with the same goals and values he had previously without a tobacco addiction. Yes, it added a little to his splash, but how could it possible matter elsewhere?

As a business, there is no world in which region specific content makes sense. When you enter a new product into the market, you produce it with as many generic elements as possible before adding proprietary elements. You then target the largest possible audience and play the numbers with your marketing strategies. At no point should a business limit itself with a niche audience when they can sell to a larger platform at no additional cost or penalty. As an investor, you never buy into a business that has pigeonholed itself in attempt to sell to a niche market.

You also don't create diverging product lines without a specific growth goal in mind. If your current product extends into other markets fluidly, you integrate your current product line instead of facing the additional costs of a new product. Small things add up to huge logistical errors when you're distributing your content to ~30 million clients, and adding region-specific content just creates unnecessary risk. There is so little payout to including the cigar that it makes no sense to force its continued inclusion.

The problem with that mentality is you start to censor yourself to the lowest common denominator. Soon they will be removing blood. Next they will remove cleavage. Where do you draw the line? I understand the business implications of it (I'm a business graduate after all), but you also have to factor in the image and brand integrity. If Gragas, Esq can have a cigar -- there has to be a way to work it into Graves. If not his main skin than a secondary one.

coeurloyalFeb 10, 20161 votes

That's the constant battle, right? As a business, you're always looking to lower your baseline. I think Riot is walking the line as best they can, but someone on an overseas censorship board said that was the straw that broke the camel's back, and that single concession was enough to let them skate by because it's the only instance of tobacco use in the non-peripheral content in the game. I'm sure they could add it to a skin without additional penalty, but unless it fits thematically it just seems unnecessary.

It fits thematically. It shows Graves is tough, rough, and uncaring person. Also, it has been used in official cinematics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzHrjOMfHPY

But clearly that's not acceptable for wide audiences either, right? I mean they only spent a ton of time and effort making a video that they can't show off?

coeurloyalFeb 10, 20161 votes

The reason they can leave the cigar in the cinematic or on Gragas skins is because it isn't part of the original core of the game, making it 'peripheral content' that isn't subject to the ESRB/PEGI ratings or censorship standards on the base product. Graves' model and original splash, however, are part of the original product and are therefore subject to censorship or regulation. If they chose to include the cigar on a future skin, they would probably be fine in doing so. However, they can easily portray Graves' rough persona without needing to define it with the cigar, so there's no need to try to walk the tightrope with such a trivial addition to his model.

Besides, Cigars don't translate directly to a rough character archetype. In fact, most of mainstream media associates cigars with refinement or upper-class status--neither of which apply to Graves as a character. Sure, it fits thematically, but it doesn't necessarily help to reinforce his characterization. It was just a small feature that granted a bit of unnecessary depth.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the cigar and I preferred him when he had it. But their decision to remove it was not unfounded, and as much as the community wants it back the fact of the matter is it directly impacts their marketing and product distribution without providing any tangible form of return, so it was healthier for the growth of the company to remove it in its entirety.

Besides, I like playing Graves. I don't need him dying to lung cancer.

Has anyone else realized how forced "All Chat" conversations feel?

Pretty much nothing said here actually sounds like a natural conversation...

Although I'm kinda assuming these guys are attempting to have a natural conversation, so my comment may be invalid.

My contructive criticism for Riot would be for them to get actual LoL players to talk about LoL as fans who could share their opinion...rather than minor celebrities who don't actually seem to know much about the game.

Jessica Nigri, you're really hot,but based on your appearance on AllChat, It's pretty apparent that you're a random shill who knows nothing about LoL lore who's is promoting it for money because you are sexy.

Don't forget that PAX Sucks, and they hate Jessica Nigri, not to mention the way they run crap is pathetic.

PAX is a big letdown one of the ones I will never go to or give a damn for Never Forgive, Never Forget.

PAX is just one of those immature event's I would never personally go to, there are better expo's.

The one awesome thing about Korean cosplayers, and no censorship.

How anybody can watch the AllChat team and the always entertaining Nigri genuinely having fun and still manage to troll? Nigri couldn't have dressed more demurely unless she wore a burqa! (Please never let me see the world where that happens!) Lighten up people. Take your hate elsewhere. Great segment! Makes me remember why I subscribe.

At 6:28, the subtitles read [making Cho'Gath noises]. While she is making Cho'Gath noises, she is also just saying nom nom nom. Why not add that in there for the hearing impaired. I feel it plays a big part in the scene.
