Meh, this is just a video where you kill someone because of the items you have etc. Pretty boring.
You got to see it like this:
In legions you make a video of MA's because those require skill, not ground pounding.
This is just spamming qwer and nuking them down.
A interisting skill video for LoL would require a lot of juking, landing great skillshots.
Like this video: (HoN but the same game concept)

Legions MA videos are just as boring, don't even try to act like they're better just because it takes more in-game "skill" to make. Any half decent person playing in anything with enough time can make a kill video and 99% of them are equally boring (skill or not). What makes a good video isn't the skill in the clips, it's the video editing to turn another kill video into a unique piece of art.

Example:

This video is fairly good (at very least among the better skill videos out there), it's not the best but it's probably a familiar example to most. As far as the artistic editing goes 7:20 on is the better end of the video, but it's all fairly well made.

Nothing against Ellismore, I just don't like skill videos in general. Too much e-peen stroking for me.

I agree to some extend, I'd say MA's are more impressive because it's harder to pull of than ground pounding.. but I agree that every video will look more or less the same eventually (Tribes 1 MA videos anyone?), much like Nivosus capping videos: 9/10 Nivosus cap videos just HAS to contain that same boring "two guys build up speed from that big hill behind base, 1st guy ODs at flag stand & passes to 2nd guy" pass we've seen twenty times before, if you don't come up with something that actually looks different than the rest it WILL get boring and forgettable. Good editing saves a bit, but still: You can put sparkles on piece of *chocolate cookies* but it's still a piece of *chocolate cookies* no matter how you look at it.
You have to mix and match different footage to elevate it above "Mid Air video #24" or "Nivosus cap routes: Take #73" status.

God I *dancing* hate all those Nivosus cap videos!

EDIT: Chi-Ro is right, editing gets good at 7:20 on that video. There's a fine line between knowing How to ADD special effects and How to USE special effects.

Ye but I didn't make this video to show off any skill at all, it's merely a video of me getting kills with my 3rd game with annie xD

Thanks, but again this video took me about 5 minutes to make edit and about 20 minutes to record so no time was really put into this :p Glad you think it's alright though lol

What do you mean 7:20, the video is 2 minutes long, I don't understand :p
I'm confused
