I wasn’t planning on making this video, and even as I was comissioning the artwork for it, it wasn’t supposed to be a Building A Better episode.
Funny how things work sometimes.

  1. You are right. You're not right because you have a youtube channel, you're right because you have great sense of lore and a superb imagination. I ofc do like a different skin for Thresh that is obtainable as a free player and yeah, he does look more sexy than he should and your designs are way better (the first one was just stunning), but I for my part am at least happy that I got a skin for him now that looks edgy as Viego, but Idm

  2. I couldn’t agree more about unbound thresh. As a thresh main it just pains me to see him getting a skin that does his lore such a major injustice. Such a cool aspect of his character was that he actually prefers being a monster, and it just sucks that they would rather make another hot boy cash grab skin than stick true to such an integral part of his character. I honestly wish riot would just replace the version we got with the second one from this video (which looks amazing btw).

    Also, quick side note: I was wondering if you were ever planning on doing a full-length design hot take for ekko. I’ve seen you talk about him before in some of your other videos and it seems like you really love the character, so it would be great to hear your full analysis of him (especially that short story, which is just heartbreaking).

  3. bro there is no poing of making a ghost-skeleton into an anime boy!!!

    plus is akshan really goong to fight against viego?
    he is 3 days in to the game and yoric following the logic is only 15 min in to the game?

    glad that i dont really care about the storys…

  4. The thing with the chinese censorship is that it used to be censored for the chinese versions and the rest of the world had the shit that was censored such as wraiths and old karthus but now its all changed to universally be the same version as the chinese censored one.

  5. 21:52 I'm sorry to say this but uhh. I don't think you understand monsterfucking as much as you think you do if you think your changes didn't make him more attractive 😥. I cant speak for everyone but id love for his hook to tear my entrails out (literal) 😳😳😳😳😳

  6. honestly if they wanted to aim for attractive appeal but still be creative about it, something like the first redesign could've worked honestly, like that thing still rocks and is frankly still hot

  7. Can I point out REAL quick, just an aside, that a large part of what we all dislike about new thresh is the sexual, humanistic nature of what should be a cool character in its own right?

    And so on, you get the idea.

    I'm just saying, you know, maybe we should like, remember that sexualizing characters is a BIG part of how they have always sold skins and the game in general.

  8. they made him hot because the spirit blossom skin sold really well. but it was a novelty for that.. the idea that thresh COULD be handsome/hot. but then they dropped this skin and its like "oh he's actually hot that's just cannon" and it just doesn't feel effective. It's such a bad skin. I wish riot took your advice on this one. in an effort to make him "broadly appealing" they made him boring. I'm surprised to find that there are any people whom like the skin at all

  9. After Following Riot's Lore literally since the beginning and plunging into deep depression after all the shit we went through in "Ruination" event (the name now surely states its purpose) I can clearly say that all you've said in your video I truly respect/agree and in another universe really hope that THAT was cannon instead of all we've got in the past 2 months

  10. he doesn't reject the human form, he just wholehearteadly doesn't care shit about it.
    He revels in having the power to make people suffer tho.

    and might revel more in getting people to believe him and backstab them
