Let's Brainstorm Some NEW Champ Skin Ideas!

Retsnom·May 21, 2014·4 votes·1,129 views

FYI, I have no idea how Riot chooses which player/fan suggested idea on a new skin or if it's ever been done before, but who's to say it can't happen? We all know Riot has all sorts of skins, ranging from holiday-themed (Heartseeker / Zombie ), pop-culture references (Grungy / Frozen ), to the outright nightmare fuel (Lolli, anyone?!).

Anywho, here's a few of my ideas to get the creative juices flowing! Feedback is welcomed, either if it does/doesn't fit a champ's essence/lore, if it is or isn't practical to put into the game, or if it'd just look as ugly as OP's mother. ...Wait a minute...

Rock Candy (Bright colors, likely a bright blue and pink coloring with his inner shell being brighter; tosses peppermints or rock candy disks for his Q.)
Origami (Edgy, almost 2 dimensional shape. The splash from Morde's Q would be paper airplanes that fly at nearby enemies and his W would be a bunch of misshapen and crumpled failed creations. Looks like he's made out of grey/dark construction paper.)
Voodoo Priestess (Based in part on Diablo III's Witch Doctor, but with Riot's spin on things. Creepy, swampy vibe, definitely one meant for the Harrowing holiday. Cobwebs, poisons, and hexes, oh my!)
Roadie (The unfortunate sidekick to the Pentakill band that Riot already has in place. His Q / R tosses out faulty/fritzing speakers that blow with a fiery and electrical explosion. Chugs an energy drink for his W, and wears a Pentakill t-shirt that ((mostly)) covers his beergut of manliness.)

Thanks for taking the time to check out my thread and I hope you have some great ideas of your own that you'd like to share, and hopefully, get on Riot's radar! :D

I don't think Mordekaiser gets new skin before his VU

You're right, he shouldn't, but in the event he does, I think it'd be awesome if he had something totally different than his usual suit of armor. Besides, what would be funnier than getting your ass beat by paper? :D

It's been done a couple times. Pool Party Ziggs and Astronautilus are the most notable ones, originally designed by Mattcom.

Could work. Definitely a lot of thought already put into it.

yes i kinda wish it was a bit darker like take it from wight and gold to black and blue but then its a bit close to diablo three

He could use another dark skin, yeah, perhaps even a ninja skin since he uses a "Kusari-Gama" type of weapon.

I'd be okay with more established skin themes (pool party, dragonslayer, battlecast, etc), but it would be nice to have some skins that are independent and just plain silly. Anyone elses thoughts?

There's already 5 skins for the Pool Party theme, but only 4 of the Dragonslayer and Battlecast themes, respectively. Unless you count Creator Viktor as the 5th for Battlecast. There's only 3 skins revolving around hearts so that's open for two more, unless they are only going with ranged AD/AD viable champs.

also think if not somethign like that thresh needs to become a egindary or ultimate skin for poll part as a life guard. that and i had a thought of like a count down for a ultimate skin for him where with every hook his color or look would change as a coll little side thing (or every miss if riot really wanted to troll people)
