Petition for Odyssey Yasuo to read his Book instead of playing a Flute

Rαy··347 votes·26,895 views

I loved his reading scene from the trailer and think it would be awesome to let him read his book with an occasional "mhh" instead of playing his flute (that still sounds.. asian instead of retro space music-ish).

Wouldn't be that much work or change the skin price either in my opinion.

I'd bite on that.

Make it a romance novel too, like Kakashi’s. The title of the book can be something like “You, Me and Hasagi”

I hate Yasuo and that he got this skin, but I agree with you. If you do this, do it right!

I don't usually care about skin suggestions, but this is such an elegant and sensible idea, that it earned an upvote from me.

i dont think they will because the skin has already been released, but... that being said aatrox got wings so... who knows?

Hmm

Spend around $200 on an extra animation that 99% of the league community won’t care about and will make virtually no increase in sales.

Sure?

considering how much money they would earn for spending 200 bucks i think its worth it

rtbf360834621 votes

Don’t know how many people would be convinced over a feature that’s only used an average of 0.00001% of game time per game. I think the animation team would prefer working on things that are actually worth a profit.

I think many would do. Atm Odyssey Yasuo is kinda average, the book would add a nice new feature that would push many who see it boring.

“Average”

Has an entire cinematics and game modes worth of marketing

They’ve done far more than enough

DuskDaUmbreon4 votes

The cinematics that were more focused on Jinx as the main character?

Or the gamemode that's focused around the six people in relation to that?

Felvyne3 votes

And all of those don't reinforce the skin ingame value but just promote selling it.

rtbf360834621 votes

I mean so many people will already be exposed/convinced to buy it after seeing the cinematic(trending on YouTube) and playing the game mode. Do you seriously think there’s anyone left not buying it who would be convinced solely by a feature they would literally have to go to a 3rd party YouTube channel to be even aware of?

  1. Yasuos just as popular as Jinx and the advertising his skin has gotten is literally greater than 95% of the other skins in the game

  2. His only real competition advertising wise in that game mode is jinx. Nobody likes malph/ziggs, they’re already shitting on the sona skin, and Kayns is legendary.

Not to mention Reddit’s just gonna circlejerk even harder about a Yas skin than they already are(more publicity?)

“Average”

They have better things to work on than a skin that’s already insanely way more overblown than normal. Diminishing returns

$200? Super lowballing that imo. That's like one full time employee working for one hour. You need modeling, rigging, textures, voice actors in like 10 languages, QA...

You think rioters make 200 an hour? lmao

Not takehome, no way. But when I worked at a major tech company, they said that an engineer with $100k annual salary cost the company $250k per year when you add in benefits, hardware, software licenses, morale budget, supporting staff like HR and management, parking, etc.

$80/hr * 40 hours a week times 52 weeks a year would be about $166k/year. Which, amusingly enough, is the average salary for a senior dev, according to https://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/Riot-Games-Salaries-E247538.htm. Multiply that $80/hr by 2.5 for the full employee cost, and you're right at $200 for one hour of FTE work.

Of course, entry level artists won't get paid as much as senior programmers, and the total cost probably isn't linearly a 2.5 multiplier. But, for a rough estimate, I think it is still reasonably valid.

No, fucking no period, riot pays their employee the minimum pay for those specialize skill jobs, which is damn near unlivable (and not definitely not prospering) for California, both kotaku and ex league Youtuber Gnarsies both did takes on riots shitty employment history.

The only benefits for working for riot (that other employers don't offer for the same merit & skill) is their in-house LAN facilities, paid gaming (any games not just league), and the many other commodity's that they offer.

Sure those commodities sound nice and help if you're straight out of university, but in the grand scheme of things Riot Games is only good for building your portfolio and not for Long-Term employment, their unprofessional work environment coupled with their hostile environment for anyone not of "California bro culture" and the lack of responsibility make working for Riot seem even less appealing than for the previous reasons.

What? I wasn't talking about whether it was a good place to work. That's totally unrelated to how much Riot spends on health insurance.

I mean it’s only the action of him moving his hands differently and the sound of flipping pages. On a model they already have, it can’t be that expensive
