Swain has been my favorite champ since the game was released. His level-up gives me more dopamine than is probably healthy.

@Camambert13

2 ай бұрын

Swain's level up is probably the most reenactable TBH

The "problem" of the old minimalism cards is that the entire design philosophy behind level ups and what the cards represent changed over the time. In the original idea, the cards ARE the champions. The literal cards walk around and get additions, like in Teemo, GP or Viktor. They specifically couldn't show MF for instance because MF cannot walk around inside herself. After realizing that thinking up 200 ways to just stick stuff to the card is actually pretty hard since you are working with suuper limited space, the hand phase became more prominent where parts of the champion could be seen like in Diana or TF but still not the whole champ. It turned to a situation where the champion itself elevates its own card by infusing it with power. Lastly they just turned to the cards being actual snap shots of the champions. They are just pictures. So now you can add full character animations in and go to the next, cooler freeze frame. They went from cards being actual, living things to card just being your average card.

This is so interesting! Played since foundation and was a huge fun of the little spears coming out of kalista (and then the ghosts!) Same with the spiders around leveled up elise. The cards DID feel alive back then. Same with the Garen level up, his sword sticking out from the card also added to the fantasy in my eyes.

I'm a sucker for level ups where the end pose matches the actual card art. Pyke and Udyr's specially, they just feel so clean. Makes me wish they were all like that. It also makes me kinda hate Jack's because while it's similar to the card art IT'S NOT ACTUALLY THE SAME POSE. It's so close to being perfect but it messes it up just enough for me to notice. It's like uncanny valley for level ups.

Agree with Jack, whenever I see it I want to shout "IT'S THE OTHER ARM"

Tahm’s level up having Jack’s signature is a really cool lore detail

FWIW I asked the dev on twitter when Ziggs dropped why he was Shurima and the dev (whose name I forgot) said that they liked that Ziggs works with landmarks and countdowns and so mechanically, Ziggs fit Shurima really well, and then the aesthetic of mine fields was fun (IIRC). I actually really prefer Ziggs using deserts as minefields aggravating xer'sai than him being yet another contraption-based zaunite yordle.

Kayle's finishing with just her silhouette would have been amazing. But they wanted the last frame of the transformation to match the card art. That pose looks fine on the art, just awkward position to get to in the animation.

I didn't think it was possible for me to disagree with someone this much on 3-4 second animations.

Man wish I could be in the call just calling out the bias on every card, it would be funny

For the Jinx, the base lvlup is just "half of the story" as you say. Super Mega Death Rocket animation is the other half, and together, imo, it's a great lvlup, for the base game at least.

This video alone made me get back into Runeterra, and possibly play a LeBlanc deck which i never have till now.

37:16 not being able to hear the 4th shot actually made my chest hurt.

Good job, editor. 42:44 You got me laughing with the music to Maokai's sapling 😂

It's funny when you realize, the video they used to check those animations had every champion titled, but some of those were just memes.

Nicky just puts the character in the tier he thinks is ok without listening to Sunny. Must be kinda annoying for Sunny.

Nicky and Snnuy? Hell yeah!

Garen's level up is pretty cool imo like how the sword sticks out of the card at the end and how you can see the card transform its fine really

YES THE SWAIN LOVEEEE!!! MY BOY!!! Forever gonna be a Swain fan, I love his character so much. Amazing video!!!

It was really nice to see the evolution and the work they put in those more recent animations. It would be amazing if LoR kept it up.

Small detail you missed. In Veigar's level up, when he is standing in front of his mech at the end, look to the right. You can see his little minion tower slowly toppling away as well. Just a nice little detail.

Always love a good Sunny Nicky colab

Just hope u can collab w Snnuy, yall make of great energy

Not the collab i was expecting but im happy it happened

My gave game! Sp glad you are looking at it Nicky. Have a nice day.

I’m with Snnuy that I don’t feel the cinematic level ups with full-body models are automatically better. Some like pyke really make it work, but the pinnacle has always been Swain for me as well. It’s far more important to capture the style and spirit of the character than it is to show the character doing something cool. Swain’s level up makes You feel like you are the conqueror.

Ive always saw our dear Nicholas show up on Snnuy's chat from time to time but I love to see them together on a video.

The collab I didn't know I needed

Let’s be honest this was just NickyBoi’s tier-list

LOR video lets go!

A great detail in A Sol lvl up, the constellation that appears is Dragon, so he build his card with the stars of the dragon constellation. I particularly think it's brilliant.

Ever since i’ve played the all persona games last month i’ve been hearing the music in every KZread video the meme is real lmao

Steel Ball Run reference, instant like

"it's a little wierd that neeko and nidalee reuse the same background" Ahh yes the like only jungle area where the 2 characters are fighting together against the same enemy, such a strange thing and definitely not thematic or cool.

i heard a random Daniel Heiman on the Katarina spin, loved it

love the colab!

I was doing the tier list along side you guys and its incredibly surprising how much and how extreme my opinions can differ. It's a subjective topic, of course, but even then most times in these lists the disagreements are few of not very far apart. But I have a good chunk of yours F, D and C all the way up in the S, A and B, and the same the other way around

I still think Lucian has one of the best ones. It's so simple yet so fucking cool looking.

Ain't no way. Never expected a collab with snnuy. Nice

Part 2 with skins? I already love the Lor content despite not playing the game

Ornn should have definitely shown off his scale and sheer strength. Start with a shot making him appear small inside a volcanic crater- ensuring we can see the majority of the crator in shot- he taps his hammer two times, does the wind up slam, and we cut to far in the sky looking down as the volcanic crater is smacked down hard enough to lower the mountaintop as a whole.

tierlist of champions themes would be cool

19:35 They could have animated the eggshells coming back together and forming the card. Now THAT would have been an interesting animation.

Love to see the def community representation with this one!

I can’t believe Nicky would have this elusive abusing, ASol rejecting, Ionia hating card gamer on. /s

Janna's lvl up animation is too fast and Riot doesn't share her 3D model... I mean, they hate her

LoR did Veigar so well I also love how he’s meant to be paired with Senna, so to me he canonically stole Lucian’s wife What did they do to Galio :(

hell yea, my two favourite people in one video

Now i want part 2 with the skins after hearjng about hecarim, i dont buy the skins and i think it would be fun to see them all

As an LOR enjoyer, I very appreciate this video ❤

The Elder Dragon cannot be stopped, even in the rankings

Since I'm a Mogwai fanboy I picked up the habit of trying to do the same movement as in the level ups, thus I would rate these on a scale of how satisfying it is to reenact them (Swain being on top and closely followed up by Yasuo, Vi, Thresh, Soraka etc). However that would mean the majority of the level ups would be in a low tier, since you can't really imitate many (like I'm not gonna stand up to walk around like Teeto or having a poro come out from you behind). But this is just me

I will try Legends of Runterra now

My problem with J4's (why I would personally knock him down to high B tier) is he would absolutely not survive jumping off a 20-foot cliff like that, so I like to interpret him holding the crouch at the end as "well, I have just shattered my legs and spine and can no longer stand." Mostly agree with the tier list though! My personal favorite is actually Lucian's. It's so stylish and cool despite the limitations at the time, and transitions to the level 2 art perfectly.
