@HornOkplease-ky7gr I wish i had parents to support me like that, i only have me for getting what i need to work in the things that i like, i wanted to be a league creator since i fell in love with the lore but i'm not even capable of get the tools that will help me to doing it because i have to decide to eat something today or chasing my dreams. It's very hard to choose between those things. Someday when i have my own business I will be able to finally afford a PC and a microphone for doing the narrations of the beautiful universe of League that i love and and that save me from suicide.

I am loving the fact that they are showing the musicians playing now too, not all the composition (as far as i can tell), but it still is cool to see.
Skarner has a killer soundtrack there.
I see the music team got a note about that allegedly planned horror element of Skarner that the design team completely forgot about.

Him dancing during a Terminator sounding theme has got me dead! Lol.
I'm sad to see my beautiful crystal boy go, after so long. I remember playing him back when his E was a heal, and his Q was a permaslow. In truth, all I ever really wanted was a revert to his pre-Juggernaut rework, with a few things kept (like the health scaling on the shield.) Sadly, we can't all get what we want. If nothing else, he will miss his kind no longer. Be at peace, Crystal Vanguard.
bro skarner gets overshadowed even in his own theme song video by like a 5 second clip of a potential malphite ASU lmao
Banger song. It speaks of a being who thinks of themselves as a protector, when in fact they are a destroyer. Kinda like Dark Raiden from Mortal Kombat or Injustice Superman. Another interesting thing to note: at 1:30 I hear a bunch of what sounds like scuttling, like a crab or scorpion. Very nice detail :)
It makes me sad we don’t hear these themes in-game Even as a selectable theme for the client would be awesome ❤

This theme blew my thoughts on what it could be out of the park. It sounds so good the whole way through. Every instrument blends so well together. I'm going to miss my main of 5 years, old Skarner, but I'll gladly welcome this new version of him. I also always love seeing the beind the scenes footage of all the work that went into this.

Reksai used ferocious bite on Skarner. Skarner: "Feel my sting!"
They never fail to give such a well rounded experience with these characters. Like it perfectly embodies their being. Like the tempo going to skarners walk pattern. And the sadness of his backstory*chef kiss
Music team always a W
Interesting they leaned so much on the Kaiju aspect for his theme. Just a big, monstrous thing that will trample over your city mercilessly. Ofc, still with a little bit of melancholy at the end
When this song hits it hits HARD. This is perfect for whenever a DND group is fighting underground.
I think i just found another favorite track and that updated Malphite model.
ngl, this could work as part of the OST of the Monsterverse series of Kaiju films...

My interpretation of the theme: The theme starts as a predator waiting for its moment to strike (it feels familiar to void champion themes), then the chase begins followed by the act of a predator catching his prey (happens in rapid manor, pointing at how strong of a predator it is). From 0:50 it sounds like an ode to the predator, a marvellous tone in primeval world (possibly a reference to Brackern species as whole). At 1:51 there is a twist (the invasion of void and the fall of Brackern), it follows with uneasiness until 2:28 where whispers appeared (Skarner himself getting paranoid and conservative). 2:32, what once was an ode now transforms into nostalgic and melancholic composition of fallen majestic species and the last one of its kind consumed by fear and rage towards the threat that caused it all (the Void). 3:01, a reminder that Skarner is still that primeval being nobody should toy with (A sovereign of an Ixtal region).
The initially purely intimidating intense section felt like the wrong idea since he's not purely a massive monster, but I like how the middle section frames him giving a feeling of uneasy majesty or divine flavour. Skarner, Stonebodied Kaiju vs. Skarner, Ixtal's God King Returned
Love this theme! The irregular dramatization and the drum beats in the background!
Guardian of Ixtal. Earthen Brackern. The Ancient Primordial. Skarner.
1:36 drop is SUPER sick
Watching Skarner crab-rave to his theme is certainly... an experience...

I really like this rework and the theme. Actually all of your recent reworks were great tbh.
this is so epic!
This is a perfect theme for my favorite scorpion!
That's some real top notch editing
Riot just on a mission to give every region a Kaiju monster so they can duke it out. First Galio rework, now Skarner
The amount of animation here!!! So good!!!!
Brilliant!!
I love the music theme for Skarner!!! ❤❤❤
This is the boss theme you hear after setting foot on Ixtal and no one is going to take this away from me.
You know... my inner child always thought Riot hired a whole orchestra to soundtrack these songs... now that illusion has died. But anywho the soundtrack is still good.
Riot needs to make official theme songs for each region.
I love this Champion! ❤❤❤
these videos are so great
These champion design insight always get me giddy
As a wannabe riot concept artist, this is actually incredible you put all of this out there for us to learn from
Need THIS STYLE OF VID ON EVERY CHAMP TEASER
I don't know if anyone's commented it yet, but the first 35 seconds sound like something straight from a Metroid game
Riot : look people we release New Skarner ! Also people : OMG YOU SEE NEW MALPHITE MODEL FINALLY ( i'm a malphite main , thanks god finally )
Banger theme, and new Malphite model let’s goooooo
rest in peace old skarner

Music team hitting out the park like usual
i love of it sounds very similar to the void beings theme, but with an ancient and epic feeling added to it
Holy ahit this is so epic
The updated kit and design I'm optimistically neutral on. Just not sure why the lore needed to be changed. Arcane and Skarner can both exist. :( The idea of an entire race being the source of hextech, and the stones being used for both important and trivial things is an amazing ethical concept that could have been explored. Now it's just giant scorpion protect city. :|

I think you could have had both as the recent piltover expansion into ixtali jungle could have uncovered ancient brackern resting sites abandoned due to the isolation of ixtal. The exploitation of the Brackern also fits really well with the themes of exploitation of Zaun as well
