So, Riot, why not give Orianna a human skin?

Hi, first time posting on the Community. I have seen other posts (this one would be the most informative one i found) regarding this but I have yet to see the Reds actually answer it.

So Riot, why not give Orianna a human (or at least human-looking) skin? I understand that it would be a very out-of-character kind of skin, but take a look at Justicar Syndra. It was an out of character skin taking a completely different path than her lore does (which was awesome to see).

There is also a Pre-void Kassadin skin, so why not try a Pre-death Orianna skin? The concept of seeing Orianna being human would be a welcoming sight to see in-game.

Maybe a pre-death skin for urgot too :D

I think a big reason they haven't done this is because her animations just don't look human. She's got a very robotic almost creepy way of moving that would just look unnatural if she were to look more human. And if they did change her animations for the skin, it might make her less readable as orianna to newer players who might think that it's a different champion altogether. The idea, i'm sure that Riot would agree, is definitely a cool one.

We may see a skin like this, but I bet that this is a hurdle they would have to jump before they could make it.

Human Oriana - with no abilities
