I'm just scared about the people who are gonna scream about how SG Ez supports Lux x Ez, even though it feels like Riot is aiming for SG lux x SG Jinx.

Also that riot just sunk the ship, but that won't stop tehm from using this non-canon thing as their proof.

Oh, and I'm glad my mid main is getting a new skin, and one for one of my favorite skin lines. I think I'll play some Ori tonight to celebrate.

I'm not holding my breath mostly because I do have reasons for why this leak might be fake (still personal opinions though):

  • DS Orianna is a concept running around for a while between various artists
  • SG Ezreal seems too much meme in order to be real (even though it would be cool to see the male version of the thing, can't wait for SG Taric/Braum).
  • Yasuo already has the demonic theme bound to his Bloodmoon skin, it might be closer to Tryndamere themtic which involves tentacles and purplish things but still I find it a bit forced.
  • Can't say much about other skins if not that I would be terribly pissed off to see still nothing for Aurelion Sol for which any skin theme would be awesome.

True, but I still hope that DS ori will come to be and that people will show actual respect for canon material.

Feel, ya. I'm waiting for more canonizing of Taric and Diana (he is litteraly hitting on her xD)

Oh, the other reason I don't want SG Ez to be a thing is that the group so far is all female, and there are already enough transphobic "oh what a pretty girl you are, Ezreal" jokes floating around the internet. We don't need to fuel the fire.

(note that sometimes the joke can work, like the Renekton Judgement fanfic, where it's clearly just Renekton's delusions)

Well, Star Guardian is coming from the Sailor Moon / Magical Girl archetypes but even so there might be space for shiny yet manly character designs (I hate Ez with a passion but his Card skin is awesome).

For starters, I don't think they would do Star Guardian Ezreal mainly on the principle that he has Arcade Ezreal. I feel like the concepts would step all over each other, since Arcade is already based around anime-ish protagonists in video games.

That will never happen. Just because he called her beautiful doesn't mean he's into her. I've seen drag queens call girls gorgeous and beautiful before, and they're about as gay as you can get.

I think since the skins are kind of based on sailor moon, the single boy char getting a "star guardian" skin (ez) will probably be tuxedo mask-esque?? I don't feel like they were pushing Lux/Jinx that much tbh.... ):

Sukishoo1 votes

They are based on more then just Sailor Moon. They are Magical Girl inspired, there are several references to Sailor Moon, Pretty Cure, Madoka Magica, Cardcaptor Sakura, ect.

I love this It seems cool, Legit, But I got one thing to say, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2Uo9xWCP7Q. And that is why I do not believe it.

AngelFrost002 votes

Yeah it really seems legit but there are questionable things like nakid champion with tentackles..

This doesn't seem legit at all. It reeks of trying to get people hyped over nothing. The Omega Squad skins are awkward, and Twitch has been one of those that's been an idea floating around the boards, like Dark Star Orianna and Star Guardian Syndra.

Additionally, the Angelblade/Demonblade skins seem too trite to me, and Riot has been taking painstaking efforts to avoid use of angelic things. Further on that note, Demonblade Tryndamere is an homage to Soul Caliber. Randomly expanding the line doesn't make that much sense, especially since there isn't a demon samurai in Soul Calibur, and Yasuo is already Mitsurugi. I call BS on that, especially because they have a splash art for the Demonblade Yasuo, and splash arts are usually the last things created, if you read their article about the placeholders. Most skins don't even launch on the PBE with their splashes available, so the idea that this skins is not only not on the PBE yet, but that it also has a splush just reeks of fan theory, like how people were spamming that druid from some Chinese game as the splash for Ivern.

On to Urgot and Evelynn - Urgot is halfway through his VGU process. I severely doubt that any aspect of his kit is solidified at this point, and giving definitive "leaks" about his kit is clearly BS. The same holds true for Evelynn, who literally just began her VGU process when Galio hit the PBE a week or two ago. Evelynn is so far in her concept phase right now that giving any hard details on her is not only bullshit, but subject to change.

The final two "new champs" are also reeking of BS. Bird people, when one is supposedly a phoenix? Why wasn't Anivia remade into a humanoid bird if this new phoenix is a humanoid? It doesn't keep with the established continuity to do this. The only part of this that is not bullshit is the possibility of a duo champ release. The delay between Camille and whoever is next could be indicative of this, as they would have completed one champ and be waiting on the other to finish before launch.

Unlike the last leak, which was of the Star Guardian and Ivern skins this one has a lot of more content on it and some of which like the champions are way too early to know for sure.

The skins, some of those could be a possibility but others sound more like a horrible joke.

So I don't really feel like this is all that true.

She has a dragonblade skin actually

This has got to be real, because today Skin Spotlights released a video on Cosmic Blade Master Yi. Not Cosmic Reaver like Kassadin, but same theme and everything. I wouldnt be surprised if we saw some more skin spotlights in the future with these names.

One person (can't remember who) said that it might just be she has shadow tendrils, not actual tentacles.
