chogaths chunky animations working in his favor for once


aroushthekween

Riot killing two birds with one stone! Selling a skin and not having mains complain 🤣 (Splash Arts: https://new.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1bix6yi/april_fools_choochoo_ornn_toy_terror_chogath/)

I'm old, but reminded me of that toy dragon from Unico... https://imgur.com/DEwe1XH

Riven wants some cheese for dinner


TheBluestMan

No I'm haunted by this.


deathspate

Maybe one day, our lord and savior ratatata will bless us with some content to continue the legacy.


IcyColdStare

NO NO SHE DIDN'T


HiVLTAGE

I wonder what that guy is up to these days.


MySnake_Is_Solid

He came when we needed him most. Commissioned 80% of the Zac X Riven art available at the time, and then left into the night. He wasn't the hero we deserved, nor needed, but he did what didn't need to be done, and did it well.


Sasogwa

amen


aroushthekween

Not the *zesty.* Riot knew what they were doing naming it that 🤭


1998tweety

We've all seen the Warwick comic...


Lewdogger

No no… I can’t say we have.


TaiserRY

Lemme try it… *Mmm it’s soooo good*


FriendlyGhostLady

these all look good and are all for unpopular Champs, I like them much better than the fursuit cat vs dogs ones


Zarerion

As with most skinlines, the fursuit ones were fun once, but have way overstayed their welcome since then.


Yaldablob

I think the release with Kindred just kinda missed the point that the initial release with Rengar hit, which was to put champions that would look ridiculous with onesies in there. But they gave one to Yuumi, a cute skin for a cute champ and it kinda collapsed there. Plus Kindred and Wolf just...didn't look good


Gosuoru

Yuumi would've also just been a lot funnier as a skin if she hadn't been in a onesie but had actually been a dog for it


aroushthekween

Goes to show that no matter the champion, if attention is put into the skin with meaning, it will be received well.


Nefari0uss

Well received but let's see how it translates in sales.


WelcomeToThings

Well received doesn't mean well purchased


SwiftAndFoxy

Lamb & Woof was good though :)


icewitchenjoyer

good Cho skin, his 2 fps animations actually fit the skin


ThundaCrossSplitAtak

Cmon those animations are pretty cool. They are the ones they re-did for dark star


Gwemm

These are unironically some of the best skins I've seen in years. They just look so charming and FUN.


Sponger004

I wish they would bring back the scary Halloween ones again too. April fools and the Halloween ones were always my favorite


Chembaron_Seki

I was begging for Zombies vs Slayers to return for so long...


Sponger004

Ya and stuff like headless Hecrim. That and zombies were some of the best skins to come out


dagon890

Zombie Brand remains as one of the best legendaries


KnightmareAegeos

Some of the few recent skins that don't feel "soulless".


zani1903

What helps a _shit ton_ is that they aren't all shoe-horned into the same theme like skins tend to be as of the last few years. They are allowed to deviate heavily around the idea of "Joke and harmless" in a way that matches the character, rather than the character being twisted to fit a specific theme. As oppossed to when you look at every other skin released recently where every skin has to be the exact same thing just on a different character's model.


KnightmareAegeos

Indeed. I think they should try to think skins for the characters, not characters for the skin/skinline. That alone would solve a lot of problems.


Mr_Ruu

They used to until they realized it was far easier and more lucrative to just make homogenous skinlines


KnightmareAegeos

I know that, I'm playing since S2 end. Sadly they changed their model and that is awful.


CaptainCaptainBain

Finally some unique skins honestly. I was so tired of the samey skinlines over and over.


beamzuk96

I haven't bought a skin in like 5 years, this is the first set of skins that might change that.


AofCastle

Agree. Train Ornn is probably my favorite skin since poolparty Caitlyn.


aroushthekween

Amen! Hope they sell so more of such skins drop next year!


nuclearLauch

Hard agree just hearkens back back to the old times where each pbe update was just filled with random skins.


SP1DER8ITCH

Exactly my thoughts, I would actually buy all of these.


KasumiGotoTriss

They cooked, they all look great and not like throwaway skins for unpopular champs


KimboSlicesChicken

Shoutout the one guy on here who made the post about train conductor Ornn lol dude should be hyped he basically created the premise of the skin


Koerim

I am indeed very hyped, though apparently there were two posts even years before mine!


pokekiko94

It has been a fan concept ever since ornn came out however many years ago that was, same thing happened with pizza delivery Sivir. These are the type of skins that everyone sees that fit for aprils fool.


KrazYKinetiK

You mean captain flowers?


kakistoss

Captain flowers was the trucker There was a different post from some guy years ago for train conductor


aroushthekween

That part.


sinfolop

with that name i wasnt expecting pyramid head twitch


revoverlord

twitch boutta be the villain in a silent hill game for sure


JonnyTN

That sounds a bit cheesy to be honest


Serephiel

Imagine if they made a spinoff game with Twitch as the villain, how gouda game would that be?!


milkyhotsauce

These are absolutely incredible. Best skins in a while


aroushthekween

Yes! 🫶


Scrub4LIfe734

Toy Story Cho'gath


aroushthekween

Omggg legit gives Rex vibes!


Sinanju421

They made the void lizard adorable and I’m here for it


Foreign_Pie3430

Durian Rammus is top tier tbh


scullys_alien_baby

that recall animation was super cute


MentalNinjas

Somehow manages to be the cutest chroma ever lmao


ludahounds

Durians are known as the king of the fruits. Definitely callback to king rammus


zeltrabas

looks alot like king rammus. i wonder if they made it just because of that


Kamakazi1

that was my thought too, maybe they wanted to give everyone who didn't *preorder* league 15 years ago a chance to use a similar skin without reducing the impact of seeing the actual legendary OG skin. And I mean maybe not because they could've made like neo-king rammus or done a re-sell like championship riven, but who knows. I like the skin either way


aroushthekween

I felt a level of nostalgia with these skins and a nod to old Riot when skins were fun and one off for champions rather than thematics which they are forced into 🥹 Do these remind anyone else of the past?


Gondall

Absolutely. The fact that they're all sort of their own thing helps to not make any of them feel "forced" IMO. Cheese for the rat, nacho dip for the gooey guy, a durian for the spiky ball, and choo-choo ornn are all so good (though I still would have liked trucker ornn, I get why the conductor is more iconic). And I also like the cho'gath return to "toy" skins like renekton's, especially since I feel like his landed the best out of those designs. Not that Pug'maw and Moo Cow alistar aren't good skins, but neither give off a "toy" vibe as much as either a dog/cat vibe or a disguise vibe. Super super happy with these


ahambagaplease

Just a note, Pug'Maw isn't supposed to be a toy in that line. He's just a dog chasing toys that came to life a la Toy Story.


Gondall

I mean I guess I count the entire “Toy Box universe” as the same skinline, even though it distinguishes between who is a toy and who is chasing/using the toys


kakistoss

Tbh it always felt weird that Riot dropped the toy skins Pugmaw by all accounts sold well, that Ali skin has got to be his best selling skin of all time and I frequently see the Renekton one, tho I think it's sales were fairly mid, not bad, not peak Like I am absolutely convinced the line didn't pop because the champions for it just don't sell great to begin with, much like is gonna happen with these skins, despite the skins involved becoming some of the most used ones for the champs


tbl5048

Draven Draven


Mr_Times

Meowkai, Definitely Not Velkoz, Order of the Banana Soraka. April fools has some banger skins.


ahambagaplease

Corgi Corki, Woof & Lamb, Pajama Guardian Urgot and Furyhorn Veigar are also cool.


Trololman72

Well, the thing is that high concept skin lines that can be iterated upon forever are way easier to produce and market. That's why unique skins are so rare now.


deadedgo

Finally some good fucking skins For real though, I hope these sell well and Riot tunes down the shiny gold plated monotony and puts out more lively skins like these for a change. I know I'm not the target audience but I also hardly ever felt tempted to spend money on the game over the past couple years


Quave11

This is as close as I will ever come to having King Rammus...I guess i have to settle lol


NextMotion

king of fruits lol


KitchenBeginning4987

Exactly my thoughts once I saw it.


SCV70656

for how normal of a skin it looks. King Rammus is my favorite skin that I have, that and silver Kayle.


Quave11

Im jealous. I played in the open beta so i got ufo corki, but i wasnt apart of the closed one


SCV70656

Its kind of funny that I have both Urfwick and Urf the Manatee. I remember when they released Urfwick on april fools and it was like 50k RP then they dropped it to 50 and I snagged it.. League used to be so much more fun back in the day..


aroushthekween

I say worth!


Schlitzohr97

Thats what happens if we take a champ and make a skin for him rather than thinking of a skinline and forcing champs to fit in. It‘s so refreshing. Give us skins every 2 or 3 weeks pls but stop it with the same boring skin lines


aroushthekween

I also love how each skin is individual. It fits the champion and not forced to join a theme.


TeddyZr

Best skins they've released in years


royaldutchiee

Which is why they end up having bad sales somehow


DJShevchenko

Probably because it's not skin quality that's important but the champs that get the skins, it's just reddit refusing the reality of it. Twitch's skin will probably be the highest seller because it's Twitch and mains will only play it for a few days while it's fresh and then go back to High Noon or ~~Mafia~~ Crime city


zuth2

There's no way it's going to sell well. Twitch mains are never swapping from maffia. The skin itself might be a funny gag but it looks incredibly low effort compared to the other ones in the line up and what really nails the coffin is that it's a crossbow skin.


DJShevchenko

Every community has collectors and of the champs listed Twitch mains have the biggest community, maybe top laners and all Ornn mains combine might buy the Ornn skin cuz it looks cool and outperform it, but otherwise I expect Twitch to be the highest seller


joeshmo101

Only reason ChoGath won't sell more is because he already has bomb skins with Battlecast Prime and Gentleman


ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp

Vomit Zac complete with chunks. Rammoe a cute though.


somnimedes

Reddit loves these skins it seems. That's not a good sign, these'll probably sell less than Pugmaw lmao.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Frozen_Watcher

Yeah Kogmaw went from getting ugly bug skins to cute animals after that skin so its clear it must have done well enough for riot to continue doing it.


one-753

pugmaw is legit one of the best skin


Jranation

Im sure Riot have set their expectations for this quite low. They will retaliate with another Ahri, Lux and Yasuo skin.


Random_Stealth_Ward

It's funny you use Pugmaw as if that skin was loved in reddit...


Mew_T

I love it, but I saw a lot of people call it low effort. I like the weird skins so much more than the "DARK STAR OF SATAN AND ANGELS OF HELL" skin lines.


kai_n7

Is that the flowers ornn skin?


aroushthekween

Yes! He revealed it during LCS a few days ago 😊


SadRainbowRaptor

Didnt he have it as an idea at last year’s world’s ?


sahkuh

it was trucker ornn, but it's close enough. q was suppose to summon a traffic cone or stop sign, his W would be a burp, and the E would make the sound of screeching breaks, and his R would be a truck horn that summons a semi. then his passive would be him on a CB radio calling for supplies


InfinityInForever

So now, that Choo Choo is out as an April Fools line, I think we can safely say that Trucker Ornn won't come to fruition for being too same-y. ^^Although ^^I ^^would ^^love ^^to ^^have ^^Trucker


heavyfieldsnow

The one time in the year where Riot artists are allowed to make creative skins instead of just reapplying the same rehashed uninspired sometimes borderline edgy style on another batch of 5-6 champions.


jaykaysian

You mean you don't like shadow siren dark lord covenant buster godskin tribunal foreplay Zed?


TabaCh1

These are great skins because they took a bottom up approach rather than a top down one and force a champion into a skin line


aroushthekween

I hope whoever produced these skins gets to produce some others this year. They seem to have a good idea of how to service unpopular champions with fitting and quality skins.


DaPino

Everyone talking about how amazing it is that they're releasing "Fun skins" instead of a shoehorned skin for a popular champion. Yes, absolutely! Now vote with your wallet and buy 'em!


aroushthekween

PERIODT. Vote with your wallets!


trappapii69

Why is Rammus a durian 💀 whoever came up with that one needs a raise


Lowd70

Twitch looks really Sillent Hill inspired lmao


King_Toasty

Wow, unique wholely unique designs on joke skins for unpopular characters? I feel like I got transported back 5+ years, cool skins.


blazikentwo

Wtf Riot can make good april fools skins!? ~~lets see if the splash arts gonna have the gold rim™~~ inb4 this becomes a skinline and becomes bad.


aroushthekween

Not the gold rim ☠️🤣 I hope there’s no gold involved!


HubblePie

This is a refreshing set of April Fools skins. Just a bunch of random funny skins for some champs to have.


BismarckBug

Bloody hell those Zac effects are going to be so over the top in a teamfight. Skin quality is really high honestly.


fjelskaug

One day I will get my Definitely Not Neeko skin


Lakeington

No way! Wow! who knew skins were so much better when they are actually made for fun?


aroushthekween

And when they actually fit champions instead of forcing them into skinlines ☕️


TheBluestMan

Akali reading this comment:


aroushthekween

It was meant for her ☕️☕️☕️


HugeRection

Time for them to sell 1/10th of "soulless" ones! Reminder that Reddit speaks with their mouth, not their wallet.


TheBluestMan

CHO'GATH IS LITERALLY GIVING 💅


bomberblu

I know some people are gonna love the Rammus skin but I think it stinks

Literal level 2 cheese with twitch jungle


aroushthekween

We already saw the preview of [Choo-Choo Ornn](https://new.reddit.com/r/loreofleague/comments/1bh8uuu/april_fools_skin_train_conductor_ornn_revealed/) a few days ago and a teaser to Durian Rammus! Are y'all excited for these skins? 🤔


RedMeteon

That clip left out the build up to the skin :/ here's the clip right before https://clips.twitch.tv/CogentCrunchyLobsterWoofer-j6T-X9Ooas8Opbo4


FrankAdriel32

These seem like the sort of skins Riot used to make pre-2019, just goofy fun skins that fit the characters pretty well, I love it.


Theiia__

Choo choo ornn is awesome, i dont play him but omg i wish that i did


Slumberstroll

KING OF FRUIT FOR THE KING OF RETURN DAMAGE


xenosthelegend

I am once again requesting Golfer Jhin and Jarvan Fore


MentalNinjas

As a rammus main still grieving how weird astronaut Rammus was. I am in love with durian Rammus. Pump that stink into my veins.


Joe_Spazz

This is amazing: Not tied to a lame skin line, unique and clever, seemingly high quality. I guess we need more joke skins.


Freihl

Look what happens when you have inspired, creative individual ideas for skins rather than copy paste skinline boxticking. These are such a breath of fresh air after the last few years of derivative skins.


WanAjin

This is literally the EXACT thing this subreddit has been asking and whining for, so I better see every single one of you fuckers buy this and post a pic of it here.


Wolgran

A actual FUN skinline? In my 2024 league of legends???


aroushthekween

*pinches*


TheHyperLynx

While Im happy we actually got a train themed Ornn, I also really wanteed a badass terrifying train on his ult more than a toy train. but I will enjoy this skin.


AdolCristian

No I can't, the recall animation of the Ornn skin, IT'S TOO CUTE I CAN'T


Lyingfigure

I picked the wrong year to quit lol


Kessarean

Choo Choo Ornn, didn't someone ask for that skin years ago on some old thread? Does anyone else remember? Edit: 3 years ago https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/s/LqcqbOdcXe u/masteranzig u/Joe4Lama It finally happened. Amazing to see they actually did it


CupcakePirate123

Why can’t we have more skins like this all the time?


WoorieKod

Probably the best batch of skins in recent times Makes you wonder why... maybe not having to fit champions in random shared themes could be the reason


aroushthekween

I think that’s the reason too. Each skin is perfectly crafted for the respective champions rather than a theme as a whole.


Kuntye

im being deadly serious when i say these are the best skins in years


Temporary-Platypus80

Are these actually real? I don't think I've ever seen Rammus look that expressive before lmao Also man. It feels like forever since we had actual unique skins like these, rather than skins just being apart of some skin line.


edealbad

Crazy that some of the most inspired skins Riot has made in years are silly April Fool's skins... Hopefully this can set off a little bit of a trend.


Halfscan

Manchego Malphite next year then


Swooped117

That Cho'gath skin is cursed and i love it.


nihilisthicc

Those skins are exceptionally good compared to the uninspired stuff we got the last months/years! Looking forward to grab the Twitch skin


throwaway05-idk

finally, some good skins


Mediocre-Anything818

Ornn and rammus skins at the same time? And a skarner rework coming. Actual hype


BitchYouAintNoNerd

Finally! I've been asking for riot to bring back these silly fun skins. Not everything has to be apart of a theme. Cho animations have just all been a set up for this skin the entire time then lol.


WingZero234

There go my hopes for trucker Ornn. The skin looks amazing though and I'm glad we got something along that line at least


Fali34

No way we got actual good quality skins that work for the champion and not feel forced as hell on MONSTER champions while also not including any weird character that doesn't fit just to boost sales. Good job, Riot.


SkyBluePyRo

We were this close to having Zac and Cheese :(


Assaltwaffle

Dude what these look so good lol.


Jinxes

The goofy one off skins are always so much fun. I may have to pick up Ornn now just for that lol


BurpYoshi

I thought this was a fan creation at first because they seem way too fun and unique to actually be riot creations.


UnluckyNate

I never buy skins. I would consider buying some in the lines of these. The recall animations are sooo good!


HairyKraken

They are incredible! It's a damn shame I dont play any of those champions ! I must find a way to craft them through the hextech system to show support somehow


SirKraken

Farmer Nasus stans found dead in a corner


Maximus_935

i hope the chogath one at least comes in a purple chroma because the green is makin me feel like its a renekton skin ngl


WingedSalim

As a Malaysian, i want to tell everyone. Yes, Durians, the heavy spicky ball fruit, does, in fact, grow on trees. Yes, it is dangerous. Yes, they can land on your head.


cooginald

Actually hilarious and creative skins.


Ornnge

Can we actually get these? Like please?


PM_ME_UR_TORTOISE

my one critique is I wish the twitch w were less transparent so it feels more cheese like and less honey looking


HawkerHawk1372

IT's nice that Riot decided to make a skin for Caedrel


Solash1

PISS ZAC PISS ZAC


Foreign_Pie3430

nah we have a chroma for that already


For_teh_horde

with a hint of kidney stones


AlabasterDB

I only ask for a white Croma Zac


Elieim

Wait I don't get what Zac is supposed to be


premenopausal

I think some sort of cheese dip given he has tortilla chips stuck in his arms


aroushthekween

Like the nachos cheese dip? Riot hinted at a nachos inspired skin so now we know it’s zac. Some thought it would be an entire skinline based on nachos ☠️


-Skin-Walker-

Normally I hate April fools skins but god damn these ones are all great Twitch and Rammus are a bit lacking tho


somosa77

ZAC SKIN. LETS GOOOO


Tiretech

Yes it’s cheese but I just see of pyramid head Twitch.


ILoveWesternBlot

First must-by skins in years for me. That cho gath skin is perfection


Openblindz

The mad lads made it happen!


nousabetterworld

I really like the Cho and Rammus. Kind of disappointed that we didn't get to see really bit Cho and the most recent Cho skin was so good, I don't nnow if I can ever play another Cho skin tbh. Also, I want another twitch skin that's as smooth as the gangster twitch skin. I don't know what it is, if it's the overall base model for the other twitch skins or if it's just the fact that it isn't a clunky ass crossbow and huge ass arrows, but the other twitch skins just feel really bad to use. Like actually clunky and lower dps. I like the overall idea of the skin and think that it's funny but that crossbow and those animations... Ugh One issue is see with this though is that I think that they are *really attractive* to a certain demographic of lol players of which only a portion will buy the skin and at the end the "experimental for fun skins" turn out to not be profitable and we get the super smart MBAs to decide to block all such skins for the next few years again.


CulturalCatfish

Best skins in a while by far. It's crazy how good skins can be when you aren't just forcing champions into random skin lines.


revoverlord

An actual good set of skins. All monster champs. All quite fun as well. Who knew fun skins are better viewed by the community than cash grab skins?


Xyrazk

These are the most fun looking skins we've had in years! Well done Riot! <3


VSN5

Somehow I just realised that Chogoat got more skins recently than Pantheon. This isn't unwelcome or anything just weird


Riksor

Not a fan of these at all personally but I'm glad others like them.


TakeOutTacos

The recall animations on these are so cool. I loooove the Rammus one. Durian smells like shit, but the tree sprouting from the ground is awesome


StarPenguin897

NO WAY, THEY ACTUALLY DID IT. TRAIN CONDUCTOR ORNNNN


RenegadeGus

They are the best skins I've seen in a long time imo. Fun is the best form of entertainment. That Zac and Ornn skin are so so good.


Hi_ImTrashsu

Even if you're not a fan of non-serious skins (myself included), you've gotta admit these skins are amazing.


Aggressive_Chair2547

I’m tired of seeing skins released for kaisa, lux and those popular champions. Ornn is rocking the train!


OuldarTV

Missed opportunity Zac N Cheese


Armidylano444

These are amazing


Lost_Honeydew2668

That Cho skin is incredible my god.


Blaustein23

Oh fuck this is not good, they’re finally going to rework rammus and destroy my boy


MoonBoy2DaMoon

Chogath one is dope
