Project skins are dumb. I don't know what peoples' fascination with mecha is, but Mecha is dumb. Always has been.

You know there is an actual mecha-skin series(which actually looks more like a transformer skin series than actual mecha). Project has nothing to do with Mechas...

There is also Battlecast series. While riot positions these skins as different, i still think they are same bullshit and don't have place in fantasy game. At least not that much. I prefer to burn people with fire, not with laser beams.

They are all science fiction and while LoL is a fantasy game,it does have it sci-fi elements(like viktor,jayce and so on).

Not to mention that skins don't have to be in line with the main game. I mean there are tons of silly skins or skins with a more modern theme,project,mecha and battlecast are far from the only ones.

But i think its time it gets stupid enough to complain. I wouldn't mind them creating new line of skins, even if i think its bad, but they are expanding existing line to 9 skins! How is that not terrifying?

I mean, right now in game we have too much skins on a "year" basis. Each year they have to make these skins:

  • New Year
  • Lunar Revel
  • Saint Valentine Day
  • April Fools
  • Pool Party
  • Harrowing

These skins pool will grow every year. In other days i expect Riot to make something creative and new to league. But instead, they are expanding Project pool, and I afraid they wont stop there.

Just because they expand some skin lines doesn't mean they won't add new ones.

I mean we got for example the program skin line and the gothic-horror(the one for noc,singed and kayle)-line this year.

Also while there are yearly events like that(you forgot snowday by the way and lunar revel is the new year),its not like all of these yearly skins have only one skin line. I mean radiant wukong and the lunar wraith skins are quite different from any other new years skin and the april fools skins rarley have any recurring theme.

Not to mention that pool party isn't necessarily yearly, as we didn't get any pool party skins in 2014. If they continue to bring them yearly,then only because of fan demand.

Project is future tech. Similar to Mecha. I hate anything close to Mecha. I understand League has sci-fi elements, but it doesn't make me like mecha any more/less.

GreenLore1 votes

So you generalize everything sci-fi related as mecha? By that logic you could also accuse star trek or star wars as mecha....

Godhri1 votes

Star trek and Star wars are pretty dumb too. Let's just say I hate anything futuristic.

Naw man. They're waaaay more like Tron than mecha

Gankplank with a spaceship actually sounds kinda cool. Maybe like the one from Treasure Planet, so it looks like a ship.

This kid can't be serious with his opinion. Demo has to be one of two things, either a boring troll or a narrow minded nitwit who inturn has an attitude that comes off cringe worthy. I don't care for Project: skins either but going to lengths to say they don't belong in League is mind numbingly stupid.

Dude, people like the skin lines.

I like it, I own two of them and I only play Yasuo, infrequently mind you. I'm not some stupid kid that wastes money whenever a cool shiny thing appears, it's a pretty interesting skin series and I love the whole cyberpunk/tron feel it gives off. That's a sub-theme of fantasy, by the way.

People also like Cosmic Reaver, a lot. May be even more popular than Project. But they don't continue to do it as much as Project. :(

Well that's just not true. PROJECT is an extremely popular line of skins, Cosmic Reaver is just one skin that went down pretty well.

Until 5 skins patch at the same time, there was only Project Yasuo and for many people, High Noon was better. It is just the number of skins. Cosmic Reaver Kassadin got better reaction than Project Yasuo.

Abyssphere2 votes

I would disagree that PROJECT: Yasuo was not as popular as Cosmic Reaver Kassadin. I doubt either of us have a way to prove that but I at least remember PROJECT: Yasuo being in the best-selling part of the store for a lot of time, whereas I never see Cosmic Reaver Kassadin there.

GreenLore1 votes

Actually Project Yasuo is(or at least was) extremely popular skins of all time,breaking the record for being the most purchased skin during release http://www.gameskinny.com/jog3r/most-purchased-skin-of-all-time-for-league-of-legends-according-to-riot

no wonder they wanted to expand on that.

Mecha. That is the term you are looking for. Maybe Sci-fi depending on how the skins look.

GreenLore1 votes

Not really. Mechas are giant robots piloted by humans. Project has nothing to do with that and doesn't look very mecha-like.

Though it is definetly sci-fi-themed.

Fondling Gems1 votes

I used mecha with the consideration that many champions are built large enough that from a visual standpoint they would look like mechas. My main point coming from mecha malphite which is an evangelion themed skin and I am sure that the project version would look very similar. From a technical standpoint I definitely agree that it is sci-fi themed but from a visual standpoint I believe there would be many mecha elements without the context of the original characters.

DemoGuide1 votes

Yeah, its Sci-Fi. Thanks.

i know what you mean man...the project skins are so lame, i own over 100+ champs and own about 65 skins, and i have not bought a single project skin, they are lame. and the upcoming project ashe is a major dissapointment because i own all of ashes other skins and will not be adding this to my collection. 1850 rp for a stupid looking skin aint worth the trouble. now DJ sona, was a great skin, and pulsefire ez. but projects? nah. riot should burn all there project ideas. def not a good skin line.

GreenLore1 votes

I think the term you are searching for might be cyberpunk,though I am not 100% sure if this is the correct term.

Stalinium1 votes

Is Tron cyberpunk?

GreenLore1 votes

Yes it is. Though obviously only the tron world,not the outside regular one.

MavenSong1 votes

By that logic everything should be pool party since it has more than project...

Its just a cool skinline that people like.

Violet Raven1 votes

Let's just not get any skins at all and leave the game a fantasy game :D then we can fantasize about skins we'll never get. Damn Rito pleasing the people :(
