You gave us joy in each game. You gave us reason to play together. You gave us purpose to win games aside from bragging rights. You gave us a goal to play toward.

We will never forget going into lanes together. We will never forget taking towers and Nexus together We will never forget the gold you gave us We will never forget typing "MINIONS OP" when you killed a champion.

We will never forget the fun we had together.

PATCH 5.12: NEVER FORGET

Any chance we could make minion skins a thing?

RiotmoonstonesJul 8, 201512 votes

It's certainly a possibility. :3 What kind of minions would you want to see? I kind of want trick or treaters. :x

KüramaJul 8, 20151 votes

Crystal minions. ;)

Jeddy017Jul 8, 20155 votes

Beside Pool Party & Harrowing (which is what I assume you meant by trick or treater),we could also have some Snowdown minions (poro shields please) & URF minions (golden spatula wands please).

I understand that if minion skins ever do become a thing,there would likely be a limit to what can be done due to a thing called clarity.So no drastic redesigns,just added accessories & changed weaponary.Unless you guys & gals at Riot would be willing to go that far for minion skins (if it happens of course).

RiotmoonstonesJul 9, 20154 votes

You're correct that clarity is certainly a concern, since minions are a significant part of gameplay - especially when it comes to knowing what kind of minion you're trying to last hit.

I mean, if there were no clarity rules, I hear there are these yellow minions in this movie that's coming out soon. :P

I was curious, do you think you guys will ever make map specific minions? Like minions for TT, HB (or CS?)? I'd love to see some spooky minions on 3s.

Mr DarkinJul 10, 20151 votes

I think this makes a lot of sense. Howling Abyss has different turrets as Twisted Treeline and Summoners Rift, as will Butcher's Bridge. Why NOT have custom minions for each map?

AMYS GRAVEJul 10, 20151 votes

Some feedback in that regard: the purple lays the blue side minions had looked similar to baron enhanced minions. This wasn't an issue most of the time (i knew if the enemy had baron or not) but when i knew they had baron but i didn't see an enemy around, it looked like they were around because the minions had the purple color on them, even though they didn't have the buff. I had to do a double take to tell if the purple i was seeing was a baron buff or not.

URF minions.

Caster carrying spatula,

cannon minions riding a robot manatee

stuff like that.

ProvengreilJul 9, 201514 votes

Dravens. I want to see 12-14 dravens every wave.

Even with the clarity thing though, there are plenty of options. sailors/pirates. voidlings. mecha minions. santa elves. I'm sure some people more creative than me can come up with something.

83sqojSQ6jJul 9, 20152 votes

OMFG YES. THIS RITO PLEASE. And every time they die have high pitched draven dying animation vo's. Nothing more satisfying than hearing draven die.

Teemo U sure?

Every minion is just wearing a Draven mask.

Plot twist: they are all Dravens wearing minion costumes

Okay, to be fair, the Draven minions weren't even close to being a thought when Pool Party Minions were created. XD

Well played

FamousJ6Jul 9, 20151 votes

Oh my goodness. I can't upvote this one enough. Maybe the draven minion skins can change if there's a Draven on the field (they'll copy his skin)?

patmax17Jul 9, 20151 votes

Harrowing Minions would be cool, maybe with skeleton vs ghost theme, with jack'o'lanterns and sweets

or tomberry-inspired minions, with knives and lanterns?

also deep-sea minions would be cool, dressed like tiny deep-sea divers!

NymphonomiconJul 10, 20151 votes

Same here. I'm also hoping for some cool skins to come out around All Hallows' Eve.

chaos013Jul 10, 20152 votes

Poro minions. I want to see how much the community's cs drops when they have to choose to kill a cute little poro for the extra gold. You could have melee minions be normal poros, mage minions be poros throwing snowballs, cannon minions be poros driving little cannons around, and super minions can be miniature poro-kings

Edit: Misspelt cannon minions. Minions shoot artillery rounds, not argue about what is official league lore.

Spooky scary skeleton minions. To hell with the Chinese-pandering censorship policy.
