I actually purchased the BC Cho'Gath skin before seeing the Skin Spotlight (I am a HUGE nerd for both giant monsters and robots, so this was a no-brainer for me). I was shocked, then, to see how utterly underwhelming the Skin Spotlight was for him.

The Spotlight doesn't show most of his added content, like the crazy cool green sheen he gets when he uses his silence, his awesome blue pill effects, or his leveling/consume added v/o's. The Spotlight felt rushed, which seemed odd considering the very cool promotions done on the forums with the "found audio" and whatnot.

Anyway, the skin is just beyond awesome, and is worth every penny. I laughed over and over throughout my first game with the skin, and my opponents were even talking about how cool it is. I just find the Spotlight to be almost misleadingly short and incomplete. If anyone is interested in the skin, but kind of turned off by the Spotlight, I highly recommend searching YouTube for other videos (this almost feels blasphemous to type), because his quality is not shown off by the Spotlight.

In all honesty, this is something that really bugged me about the Galio Skin Spotlight when he got his legendary. I hope this doesn't become (continue being?) a trend!

TL;DR: WTB "Demonblade Tryndamere" promotional treatment for all Legendary skins, rather than the brief Spotlights we have now.

agreed, demonblade tryn promotion was cool and it would be nice if we could get something similar for new legendaries too

Pomotional videos are considerably important for legendary skins.

I agree! I think that the debate about whether or not this "should be 975" would be absolutely moot if they had a trailer that incorporated that awesome audio they posted on the forums, edited in with his great new animations/voices.

I am glad you are enjoying the skin, as far as the video or promotional content, that is out of my department, Though I did do the promotional art the, schematic for Mr.CHo.

I do feel a lot was left out of the video, but there may be some other reasons or time limitations why or why not things do not get shown in the trailer. The video did though show what was intended (abilities, texture,model,sound,voice,etc), in a short quick fashion, which is the purpose of the video to get as much to the viewer as possible in a short amount of time. As far as story driven content, I think the forum posting did a good job of giving some personality to the skin.

Should have stayed a 975RP skin, stay classy Riot.

The comparison between the videos Demonblade and Blood lord got compared to what Gatekeeper and Battlecast got is immensely disheartening.
