How Does This Keep Happening?...

Summary

The video is a hype commentary/review about Riot’s recurring “Coven” and “Old Gods” skin themes—mocking how the lines feel “cursed” with lore references that keep looping back on themselves, yet still delivering consistently great visuals.

Main plot / what the video is “about”

• The creator frames Riot’s skin lines as a kind of lore-accurate curse: no matter what new Old Gods arrive, the skin line keeps referencing itself.
  • Different curses/themes show up each time, but the results are always visually impressive.
• They then transition into the newest wave of skins, starting with new prestige chromas and moving through the full lineup of notable releases.

Highlights & reactions

Prestige chromas: “confusingly cheap”

• The creator calls the Prestige chromas basically just recolors:
  • No spell effect changes.
  • They cost 290 RP.
• Their tone is playful/critical (“pale and fake sparkly”), while conceding they’re acceptable for the price.

Timing/skin-release logic joke (and speculation)

• They note Ahri is getting another skin right before a big moment (referencing KDA timing).
• They theorize Riot may be “done waiting” for perfect schedule moments.
• The comedic angle: Riot will give champions another skin even if they already received one recently.

Skin-by-skin breakdown (what stands out)

Janna — Legendary (Coven line)

• Celebrated as a rare win: a Legendary skin without triggering the usual dramatic “civil war” lore/spotlight fights.
• The legendary effects are the biggest praise points:
  • Summon/taunt dance animation feels like a Dark Souls boss moment.
  • Strong emphasis on W, shield, and VFX, including wings engulfing targets.
  • Ultimate transforms Janna into an old god, resembling Anevia, with multiple lore layers highlighted.

Nitpick / jump-scare complaint

• The “true form” appears and disappears too abruptly—like a jump scare—instead of lingering briefly.
  • The creator compares it to how Nami’s model changes behave.
• Some players might mistake it for Fiddlesticks ultimate due to the suddenness.

Praised ending moments

• Death and respawn animations are called out as excellent.
• Chromas are also praised, including a white/pale-looking option.

Morgana — Old Gods / alternate Coven entry

• Called “iconic,” mostly because:
  • W is the standout ability—especially the look of her dressed structure and eye details that move.
  • Spell reflection recolors effects into a dark purple version, and the creator says it’s surprisingly not buggy.

Other abilities

• E is described as dark magic blob-styled.
• Ultimate is described as galactic, almost Dark Star-like.

Anevia — Old God that the Coven worship

• Presented as lore-revealing:
  • In recalls/animations, Janna’s Zephyr appears, then Anevia breaks out, implying the Coven’s power source.
  • The creator connects this to why earlier skins had lots of feathers—suggesting those factions also got powers from Anevia.
• Visual/mechanics praise:
  • Model reads as an evil god, with a central eye.
  • Q throws an old god eye that multiplies/explodes into more eyes.
  • The wall construction uses different objects; the creator is impressed they didn’t notice how it worked before.
  • Ultimate/egg effects: an egg becomes an eye that shakes and only “frees” after an effigy/ritual moment.

---

Urgot — Old God transformation vibe

• Despite looking human, the creator stresses the lore:
  • Urgot becomes an old god after being slain by the Eclipse Knights, resulting in something likened to Doom Eternal.
• Major effect highlights:
  • Shotgun knees and abilities are runed/ritualized.
  • Ultimate “opens up” the old god inside him with impressive visuals.
• Details called out:
  • A missing recall detail they expected (tentacles), though they still call the recall demonic.
  • A cool perspective detail: chains become a spine, visible from the enemy viewpoint.
• Chromas are praised, including a pale version.

Overall takeaway / punchline

• The creator concludes that Riot’s Eldritch/Old Gods “spice” works best when it’s paired with the actual old-god component—not just a generic Coven reskin.
• They also joke that Coven skin releases always add drama, but this time it’s mild—only really “Ahri got more skins,” which they claim nobody’s surprised by.

Personalities appearing

• The narrator/creator (single main voice doing the comedic review and lore commentary).
