Berserker skins (Leona, Poppy)

Honestly especially Poppy, these two toons have less than desirable skins. Poppy and Leona both can go head first into battle smashing their opponents away, giving or taking extreme damage in the process often changing the course of an otherwise lost battle.

Poppy's skins are fundamentally drab and weary by comparison to every other toon (champion) Leona has some great skins, but none I feel do these two war maidens justice but I digress.

At anyrate I see them both wearing platemail covered in the bloodstains of their enemies, Poppy I see wielding an ax instead of her standard issue hammer, with both toons holding a kite shield. Poppy instead of her pig tails would have her hair tied in a braid like fashion, perhaps doing the same for Leona. Leona's sword could be made to look wicked, instead of have a clean blade it be made jagged to cause more tear and hurt (that is for looks only). Both of whom I'd leave the helmet off, because honestly its hard to make a helmet that actually looks good. Leona's Valkyrie helm just looks ridiculous to me, and Poppy's Battle Regalia helm looks a bit off. (I do use that skin for her always though, not bad but off)

Honestly most of Poppy's skins I am a bit disappointed, it seems like she is being left out to rot. I do enjoy her battle regalia skin, and her scarlet hammer that makes me think of mega man, but that is only two skins. Besides the special gothic skin or noxus pop which i won't be purchasing ever.... no offense intended

Sounds cool. I always enjoyed using poppy, I thought she seemed left out as well. But why only those two? I'm sure riven and other melee champs could be applicable to this as well.

Since Poppy is slated for a VU, she is likely not getting any skins until then. Riot has hinted they hope to finish a female yorlde VU this year... I'm hoping for Poppy. (But since they also want to rework her kit... who knows.)

That aside... IIRC Riot cannot add blood stains if they want skins to be consistent throughout regions. Yes it'd be cool for those who can have blood stains, but Riot is trying to move away from having to change models based on region I believe.

Well it could be possible because it adds a twist to the champs. Instead of the glorious justified champion aura, giving them a ruthless kinda aura seems cool.
