The Maokai skin is the best Victorious skin ever released.

KilljoyX··17 votes·3,668 views

J4 and janna were early seasons who A) Few people have, B) Weren't that well made compared to new skins

Morg- This skin is the worst of the modern 3. Hands down. Sivir- This is a bit better because it feels different with the weapon and the look feels a bit different and its better than the base skin definitely something which makes this good enough at least. Elise- This is the best of the bunch. Everything changes and she also has spiderlings changed. This is an example of a great one.

Maokai- Is there a single partical effect which is the same as before? Is there a single effect which isn't recolored and retextured? If this is the new standard I'm happy despite what the boards think.

If i didn't suck at league i would love to have the skin. TBH i hate the boards for being so judgmental.

Same it looks so amazing. I love the recall too with the little sapling.

Same. It's an awesome skin, but I got stuck in B2 cause, honestly, I suck at carrying and make stupid mistakes.

But dang, that is one beautiful looking skin.

Your post is badly justified tbh

Janna and J4 are badly made because there was less technology 5 years ago...

Morgana is in no way worse than sivir.

Sivir was terrible, didn't fit the victorious color scheme (what if they decided to make a black star guardian skin? It wouldnt fit.), barely had any changes, basic recall, and had a lazy splash art.

Elise is great.

Maokai isnt bad in the graphics and visual area, but its bad because nobody likes Maokai.

Its elise,morg,maokai,sivir imo.

why does everyone hate maokai? I love playing him! The sustain and cc are dickish and fun, I think people just hate him because to play well means doing little damage.

Because he isnt a bad ass man with six packs or a beautifull weabo girl with big tits.

They don't hate the champion. They hate that he was chosen when there were clearly other champions that were 50x more relevant throughout the entire season

Ryze got 3 reworks, Orianna makes it to worlds all the time, Lucian and Ezreal are extremely popular, etc. But Maokai? Why?

I'd easily place Maokai before both Sivir and Morgana. First off, it's Maokai's best skin (IMHO - Meowkai gets special credit though), but I like playing him. As for Sivir and Morgana...well, I got PAX Sivir, and I think Ghost Bride Morgana is way better (dat recall wailing...).

What particularly sold me on Vict. Mao was his recall animation (something my Festive Maokai doesn't have...). That's an 11/10 caesar and a laurel wreath.

i don't agree

victorious morgana is the only one I've gotten I wish I actually had sivir's was ass, it looks like warden with gold accent maokai doesn't deserve it and he doesn't even look good. shitty skin for a terrible champion

I just don't like the choice of maokai, the skin quality is fine.

Elise > Maokai > Janna > Morgana > JarvanIV > Sivir

Nothing has beaten their design for Victorious Elise in the line. It is even one of the best skins in the game.

I don't agree with the Janna comments most of all. That artwork is gorgeous. She didn't have anything like it until the recent Star Guardian Janna artwork was revealed. It is a shame none of us will ever get a shot at it. The in-game model actually reminds me so much of the upcoming Dawnchaster Sejuani and Karthus Lightbane skins. Nice quality overall.

Victorious Jarvan is underwhelming, so is Victorious Morgana in my opinion. Victorious Jarvan is more of the same, and his classic skin is a better version of that. The artwork on that one is also crappy, but it was their first Victorious skin. Victorious Morgana isn't bad, but we know they could have done better. Missed opportunity. People only bring out that skin because it was limited edition. Now that Blade Mistress Morgana got an artwork update, it is right down there with Exiled Morgana.

Victorious Sivir was the worst, which is a shame because so many of her skins are just as bad. The artwork is sloppy, and it looks like an inferior Warden skin caught in the sunset. The in-game model isn't that great either. Her blade design is so awkward. We deserved better in 2015. Still, so many people did want a Victorious Sivir skin last year.

With Victorious Maokai the quality is there. It is a beautiful skin! However it was a skin nobody was asking for or expecting, and that's where the problem is. I don't see many people criticizing the quality. Either way I'm happy to get the skin, but I will admit that I wish it was someone else.

When you see people upset that there is a Victorious Maokai skin, don't mistake that for upset over the design. It is the choice of Maokai in the first place that has sparked controversy. This season was full of many deserving champions with large fan bases, and they was passed up for Maokai. That's gonna create some salty people.

Wow. No mention of Riven? I feel offended for the Other Jackasses of LoL. Still a good skin though.

Please don't confuse the Championship with the Victorious skins.

There's Victorious... -Jarvan -Janna -Elise -Morgana -Sivir -Maokai

There's Championship... -Riven -Shyvana -Thresh -Kalista -Zed

Not necessarily in that order - I didn't bother checking.

Sivir is decidedly worse than Morgana. They like literally just phoned that one in. Even the splash art is crap.

Catastrop1 votes

The only keeping me from that skin is laziness, I'm S1 atm, but I honestly can't bring myself to play anymore. Which is funny, because I've played like 39 games of Ranked this Season at most, and I'm already fed up.

Zelorxon1 votes

Yeah ok, now you can stop remembering me nomad's medallion jhin, adc fiddle, several 0/11/0s and a IE/statikk varus decided i would have been too happy if they actually let me carry those games so i could get gold having played only the last month instead since the beginning of the season.

... I don't even like it. I just want it because i like to snatch free stuff from riot...

Elise- This is the best of the bunch. Everything changes and she also has spiderlings changed. This is an example of a great one.

wails Why did you have to remind meeee!?!?!? I was only Bronze IV that season!!

Only good Victorious skin, and I missed it! Makes me wanna cry a riven - and I did.

Was my sign-up season, but whatever - Victorious Elise is a Xel'Naga skin if I ever saw one. And I am a HUGE StarCraft fan! Not only is it what can be considered the best Victorious skin, but it also her only good skin (in my opinion).

To those who think morg is better than sivir I honestly think you're crazy. Vic Sivir is at least a passable skin, Vic morg may as well be a boarderline chroma.

Màv1 votes

Nope, VIctorious Jarvan will always be the best, he may not have any of your fancy particle changes but ever since they touched his model up he looks amazing compared to the rest.

I don't know why people think Victorious Morgana is a bad skin, me personally think all the victorious skins are really good.

The Soulforged1 votes

I want victorious elise ;*( I only got gold next season.

Sukishoo1 votes

I dunno, I personally loved Morgana's, aside from the pointy tent look that her dress came with (but I still have it and use it often) and really disliked Sivir's in the end so didn't bother to try and get there last season.

It's feels so weird actually caring about victory skins now...

MrWasjig1 votes

It's certainly a nice skin, I just wish it was someone else :P When did Maokai have prominence this season? For about 3 weeks or so? Then nobody touched him again all year. Apparently that's enough to warrant a Victorious skin?

Despite what some may have thought of it, I wasn't surprised when it was announced that Sivir was getting the Victorious skin last year. I felt she was a good candidate, among many last year. Given she was consistently picked and maintained prevalence throughout the second half of the season after her Richochet Crit buff.

Again, nice skin. Just an undeserving Champion.
