Justicar vs Arclight Skins
What's the thematic difference between these 2 skin names?
Why not just make all White/Gold skins be named Justicar?

The real difference between these 2 skin sets is what they embody see justicar is supposed to be mortal beings trying to enforce justice of their own accord or something along those lines while arclight is supposed to be like heavenly ascended beings (like gods basically)
Whatever fine Why not just name them both Arclight?
Another thing is that the Justicar skins do have a different visual theme than the Arclight skins. Not to mention Justicar Syndra wears red clothes with gold armor. The Justicar Skins look more like holy armor (sidenote, both Justicar skins have headdresses/helmets that cover they eyes), while the Arclight skins look more like ancient armor of a race belonging to the skies. Justicar Aatrox doesn't have the light-grey metal on any part of his armor - in fact, the only part that is light gray is his blade, which also is missing the runes found on Arclight armor and weapons. Though it would be nice for Justicar Aatrox to be an Arclight skin, it wouldn't honestly be too fitting if he was.
Justicar has more to do with who the champion would of been if they fought for "good".
Arclight is more of a color scheme. Although Varus' fits the Justicar theme as well. But he originally was good. And isn't necessarily evil. He just wants revenge.
Justicar skins don't have a voice over change while Arclight does. Also Justicar skins cover the face of the champion.
Arclight reminds me more of Diablo 3 Act IV, while Justicar just feels like it's something on it's own especially with the minor color differences.
Justicar is a thematic look at the champion from a different angle. Like how Aatrox would be viewed by those he fights with; he would appear to be a kind of hero, rather than the bloodsoaked terror of the battlefield.
And those who admire Syndra might see her as a kind of queen to look up to, instead of the dark mistress jealously hoarding her power.
The Justicar skin line is essentially presenting its subjects as good instead of evil (which depends entirely on where you stand), while Arclight goes even further and depicts them as almost holy, incapable of doing wrong. Justicar is a way to perceive their motives differently, while Arclight changes their entire nature.
because Arclight sounds cooler and Justicar isn't a real word. It's some bastardization of the word Justiciar. But that's neither here nor there.
The real answer is, they though Arclight sounded better on some skins where Justicar (I dislike this word, it sounds like "Just a Car" I don't want just a car, I want a badass mother flippin' car) sounded better on others.
It doesn't really make sense. Justicar
and Arclight
are more thematically similar than their counterparts, and the same goes for Arclight
and Justicar
