Academy Darius Review

Hello to all fans of League of Legends! In this article, we want to discuss with you one of the most driving skins in League of Legends: Darius Academy. This skin was released on August 26, 2015. Riot created a new image for Darius, made him a dangerous schoolboy-rebel, but at the same time retained a sense of danger from Darius that can be felt on the battlefield. So, let’s not waste time, let’s analyze the Academy Darius without delay.

Lore

Unfortunately, the Official ENT talks very superficially about the Darius Academy. However, the appearance and also splash art creates a certain idea of Darius. He is a school rebel who, on the one hand, is very talented, but on the other hand cannot find his place in the world and therefore is often cruel and reckless. As a classmate, he is simply terrible and you would hardly want to be in the same classroom with him. But if you are involved in a fight in the school yard, Darius Academy is the best assistant in this situation.

Concept and Inspiration

Designers have significantly reworked the concept of the famous Noxian warlord Darius, dressing him up as a tough thug teenager who is able to cause a commotion in any situation. The skin is a delightful mixture of a schoolboy and a bully. The costume is complemented by spectacular pointed shoulder pads and an axe, which is so big that it is not surprising that all the students of the Academy are afraid of Darius.

Design, Sound Effects and Animations

The skin has no new particles, animations or sounds, but the updated model definitely stands out. Academy Darius comes with a new model and textures that cheer up this champion. Sixmorevodka Studio has created an incredible splash art, which depicts Darius and his three other student friends, perfectly conveys the unique style and character of each. The voice of actor Chuck Kuruklis, voicing Darius, is incredibly suitable for our schoolboy rowdy, enhances his intimidating aura.

Unique Features

In Academician Darius, one feature is incredibly attractive – the skin combines the school outfit of a rebel and a giant axe and the shoulder pads of a barbarian warrior. This is a very powerful contrast that sets Academy apart from other skins for Darius. It will certainly appeal to those players who like excesses in design. Shoulder pads and an axe look incredibly impractical, but they look very fantasy and stand out strongly in the battlefield.

Darius Academy is a regular skin. It can be purchased in the Riot store for 750 Riot Points, which is quite a bargain. However, if you are looking for another way to purchase, pay attention to Smurfmania.com . Here we offer a large selection of League of Legends accounts, and of course accounts with Academy Darius.

Gamers Feedback

LoL players have mixed feelings about the Academy Darius skin. Some appreciate its unique appearance and the anime-like theme, while others find it lacking in certain aspects, such as unique recall animations or additional effects. The skin’s reception varies from excitement and admiration to more reserved or humorous comments.

“Well, I guess I’m the only one who’s in love with this Academy line of skin. It’s so anime-like x) And I suppose the champs who’re given this skin are the ‘cool clique’ where everyone just talks about them xD Pardon my imagination.”

My Feedback

As a gamer who owns the Academy Darius skin, I have to say that it’s a pleasure to have it in my collection. The design is both perky and intimidating, and I like this concept. Every time I use this skin for Darius, I feel very cool. I appreciate the skin for its uniqueness compared to other Darius skins. I also love the critical animations on non-ADC champions. The skin’s anime-like aesthetics also find favor with me as I enjoy the Academy theme. On the other hand, I find the skin to be simple and not as cool as others. I am also a bit disappointed by the lack of a unique recall animation.

Conclusion and Rating

What can I say about Academy Darius in conclusion?  – this is a cool skin that combines school ease and aggression of Darius. The new model and textures refresh the champion, and in general, the design of the Academy skin line can be distinguished. The absence of new particles or animations does not make this skin worse at all. My personal rating of the Academy Darius skin is 8 out of 10. This is a fun and visually high-quality skin that will give you a unique experience in the League of Legends game.
