@@AppleBaron Ah yes nice argument XD when did I said that im only talking about this champ kit???????????

I'm one of those who actually likes Smolder's design, and his updated version that will be added soon. Dragons have always been my favorite mythical creatures, I've seen them in many shapes, sizes, with different facial features growing up so Smolder's design didn't bother me that much. I like how cute and smug he is, especially with him learning of his royal lineage. Reminds me of young Simba from The Lion King. His theme is also grand and whimsical, goes along with the idea of a young dragon fledging slowly growing and learning to become a strong Camavoran imperial dragon. X3 I enjoy seeing all the beautiful concept art and explorations that help shaped Smolder, even if the final product isn't appealing to many, but it's what Smolder's designers envisioned.

Remember the times we had login screens with the new champions as videos?

Who are these better designs and are they in the room with us right now? Like don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of Smolders design either, but if their goal was to make an interesting looking dragon champ, the current version is certainly the best they've shown. All the other concepts looked more like weird mystical foxes or cats

Always, with every champ

PLEASE do something to implement those themes in the game. They are so great, but so little is done with them. Allow people to hear the themes of the champ that does the ACE/Penta, or whenever you win you get the theme of the champ you played, or or or or. Just something The only mod I have been using for league was to play the pantheon theme whenver pantheon ults and it feels so fun and epic to ult into people.

They have to appeal to as broad of an audience as possible, without pissing off a specific demographic. So what you get is this simplified version of what the champ designers originally wanted. You might not like this current design (and frankly I hate the face still), but I assume you probably don’t find it offensive or despise it either. And for the marketing team or equivalent at Riot, that’s probably enough to ship him to the public. Same thing happened with Brand and Thresh for Wild Rift where they needed to appeal to China (which is a massive audience that being said), so they redid their models to not look like corpses or skeletons. The cost of simplifying champs, RIP.

She is too big for the game, look at elemental and elder dragon, THATS LITERALLY THE SIZE OF HIS MOM, the reason shyvana can exist because she is a HALF dragon and they can adjust the size to make the size smaller because half dragon is more weaker than a real dragon. Imagine seeing dragon the size of elder dragon walk down mid lane. Its so funny 😂😂😂.

great theme! we need more of these where they show the music actually being played

Those people that laid off did deserve better. This music is very good!

❤

The design at 0:15 is so good though

The begining sounds a bit like Milio’s theme, but it was great so its not a problem, great work again :)

More monster creature riot! Smolder is a good start this year.

He's so ugly he elevated Yuumi's design.

Feliz año del Dragón tio RIOT! :D

I just realised... Wasn't the fire bubble one of the concept abilities Milio supposed to have????

I ended up loving this champion, I hope the rest can too.

Beautiful ❤️‍🔥🥹

oh ok nice ;)

He looks like a cat with wings

LOVE getting the BTS of the ochestral part of the champions. Please do that more in the future

I miss you Night Harvester if i have a chance to come back I will be beside you for 1000 games more

I really wanted to be hyped for this champion, but Riot really dropped the ball this time

Omg he's so cute 🥺🥺

3d artwork was the best!

The champion themes have really just gotten so good

0:14 I really hope they use this design for something in the future it feels both cute and dragon And a little bit mystical Kinda like a more dangerous kitten I really like it :3

reminds me of proof of a hero for some reason.

1:42 im seeing a lot of "would" comments. Im not saying i agree but i do understand

Opa

I know this champion has a negative reception, but I'm glad that the haters are showing enough restraint that they're giving his champion theme a chance. This is such a banger!

Heey little Spyro - Welcome to the Rift

Is this the first one of these that had recordings of the orchestra? Have they ever done that before?

im so glad they went for a actual factual European dragon with wings

Still waiting for the official apple music release... really wish I could listen to this banger without "legally" downloading it T-T

spotify when

The new face is way better. Glad they fixed it.

Seeing the concept art, specially with the face, really shows that they could've made it work, but at some point it didn't really translate well to the 3d model... Specially the one in 0:35 Theme wise this is amazing tho! Music team always slaying
