unpopular opinion k/da isnt that great

JarodDempsey··23 votes·6,948 views

I watched the new roadmap video from the skins guy and he mentioned how supposedly we love k/da so much so i finally got around to watching the video (i've seen the skins in game and think theyre quite meh) and really found it underwhelming. Don't get me wrong some of the animation looks really cool but the lyrics (at least the english ones that i understand) seem really shallow and the music itself is nothing special imo to each their own i guess. It seems like riot just wants to cash in on horny asian men by oversexualizing and in some cases asian-ifying some champions. Also the introduction of prestige skins reflects very poorly on on riot's image imo as well. Music focused events are nice, i'm hoping that in the next k/da event they have a better song but I also hope that they dont neglect to add to the odyssey universe since it has much more potential compared to the pandering nature of the k/da universe.

k/da is literally just a fictional kpop group. You can say you dislike something without trying to shit on it and the people that like it.

OP is just one of those ignorant people that think all fans of the K/DA skins are cis straight Asian males who have no life and only jerk off to pixels, while in reality most Kpop girl groups fans are women and gay men.

So OP is ignorant for thinking KDA fans are "straight Asian males who have no life and only jerk off to pixels" But you are what, OK? For saying Kpop girls groups fans are "women and gay men" ?

I really dont care for SG skins but I'm not so self-absored to make a thread about it, thinking others must be aware of what my own vapid greivences are.

I'm hoping your downvotes are coming from more than just triggered kpop fangirls.

Obviously you're not part of the group he is addressing.

If someone likes the content they will keep watching and buying, and if someone doesn't they won't continue watching nor buying.

The majority of the playerbase (hell some of these people don't even play the game) likes it so Riot will continue to do it because they are a BUSINESS.

Also your pathetic insults will change no one's opinions.

Edit: Your downvotes won't change shit ether.

k-pop is one of those things that seriously irritate me. I personally think it's kinda shit but hey, different strokes for different folks.

If it irritates you so much then you can i dunno, not watch it?

Infernape literally stated his opinion on kpop, he didn't ever say he watch it lol

I don't think K/DA is anything special either, the song and video were extremely average IMO. I don't care that other people like it, I'm fine with that. What I don't want Riot to do is assume every single one of their fans likes K/DA and spend much more time on that, instead of spending it on the things that I personally like, like Star Guardian, Project, and old champion model updates.

All asian listen to KPOP. To me that music is worse than original POP. Can't listen to it in any form or way. But i understand that League is most anime based community so i don't mind Riot doing it. I mean they gotta make money and they know how.

I'm frigging Japanese and I don't listen to K-POP at all. Actually, because of the friction of the relation between our countries, some people absolutely abhor KPOP. Last year, a famous KPOP group (BTS) had the audacity to wear a T-shirt celebrating atomic bombs dropped in Hiroshima and Japanese civilians being killed off. The reaction literally went nuclear and had them banned from participating in a major music event.

...Me? Bach or Mozart for life.

Just wanna add how Riot used to be chill and cool with Pentakill skin line - heavy metal. But since china owns them they went to anime turn.

Jerry SeinfeId3 votes

because heavy metal is a universally loved genre and there's totally not people that aren't into meta and Kpop./s

pentakill is still here, K/DA didn't replace it and metal is still one of the few music genres actually represented in the game.

This is why there are so many skins that cover so many alternate fantasies and aesthetics. Not everyone likes Kpop, so they aren't going to release solely K/DA skins. That said, the skin line is popular, so expanding upon it will appeal to many players.

It sounds like OP is infuriated that a lot of people like something he doesn't.

Jerry SeinfeId2 votes

wasn't k/da supposed to be part of pentakills universe? i'm really hoping they'll do other genres and not just another K/DA but considering it's popularity...

aside from that yeah it's just Kpop, idk what kinda deep lyrics you were expecting? The animation is great and i can see the appeal to the song if you're into the genre but don't really care much.

K/DA evelynn's outfit is amazing tho.

DarkKatalyst2 votes

That "we" you mentioned evidently doesn't include you. I think Riot absolutely nailed the theme and song.

But you know what, I think it's okay not to hold the majority opinion. Although, I definitely think you can be more respectful of it. I can say nasty things about your preference of the odyssey skin line too, but I won't because I don't think it's a civil way to act.

hey friend, just came to tell you that on the boards when you say unpopular opinion we expect you to bring out the most popular opinion possible, just to warn you for next time if you want to misuse the unpopular opinion
