Like how you say 4 beasts but yet list 5 champs [slayer-jinx-wink]

Sips EstrogenApr 17, 201723 votes

I didn't say ''5 cardinal beasts'' because the Yellow Dragon is not in every instance of their representation.

Hovering HentaiApr 17, 20178 votes

They tried referencing it in Udyr's abilities but that didn't exactly go to plan so it would be interesting to see more God like skins

Sips EstrogenApr 17, 20177 votes

Riot usually puts a LOT of effort into their Lunar Revel skins, they always look beautiful. I would be in love with their representation of one the cooler Chinese symbols.

Chembaron YamadaApr 17, 20171 votes

If that is the reference, why did he get a bear instead of a dragon. ô.o

Hovering HentaiApr 17, 20171 votes

They probably thought it would be too similar to the phoenix and bear was maybe the one that came to mind to the designers

ArakadiaApr 17, 20176 votes

This sounds really cool. Sol and Shyv would work perfectly too.

10TicklerApr 17, 20176 votes

Screw that. I want a Chinese Zodiac Skin line.

And a Western Zodiac Skin line

And a Zodiac Killer skin for Jhin (protip, it's just a Mitt Romney Mask)

Chembaron YamadaApr 17, 20171 votes

Year of the dog skin line inc. Warwick Nasus Warring Kingdoms skins, let it happen, Riot!

inb4 cancer yasuo skin.

10TicklerApr 18, 20171 votes

Clearly, Yasuo would be a Pices

TerozuApr 19, 20172 votes

No that'd be Kindred, since there's two of them.

Hovering HentaiApr 17, 20172 votes

For Chinese zodiac who would be the rabbit? And no the cotton tails and battle bunny Riven do not count

10TicklerApr 18, 20172 votes

Rabbit - Kalista Rat - Gnar Ox - Braum Tiger - Nocturne Snake - Zed Horse - Sion Goat - Poppy Monkey - Jayce Rooster - Jhin Dog - Garen Boar - Taliyah

Let's stay away from the obvious ones, yeah?

Sexy Jack RabbitApr 18, 20171 votes

Soraka would be the goat

10TicklerApr 18, 20171 votes

Let's stay away from the obvious ones, yeah?

Also, Kindred

Sexy Jack RabbitApr 18, 20171 votes

I mean why stay away from the Obvious ones? Wukong was Year of the monkey, and Azir the year of the Rooster? Only seems natural to give the champions who match the animal the skin of that year.

Chembaron YamadaApr 18, 20171 votes

Can't wait for year of the rat so Twitch gets one. :3

10TicklerApr 20, 20171 votes

Because, Cliches are painful

Sexy Jack RabbitApr 20, 20171 votes

Cliche's are comfortable. It's important to try entirely new things. But having a sense of comfortable-ness and familiarity is never a bad thing.

That's actually a really smart approach to take well done!

Merely a Ruse My friend, Merely a ruse

PhoenixOfHeavenApr 17, 20172 votes

Aside from Anivia, a lot of the champs here could go for a skin. (Shyv's and Ranmus are pending. Syv's latest, Super Galaxy, has a much more specific audience, and while Ranmus got Guardians, a super cool skin, it was quite some time ago.)

Sips EstrogenApr 17, 20174 votes

Anivia got a skin but who cares Anivia needs more love anyway Rammus needs a new skin Like you said, Shyvanna's most recent skin is p specific. Rengar hasn't had a new skin in ages and one of them is a legacy Aurelion Sol could use his first post-release skin

PhoenixOfHeavenApr 17, 20173 votes

Yep. My Anivikins could always use more skins <3 But that aside, yeah Shyv's the only one who isn't a pendable addition of the four skins. If Shyvana players are like me, then they play her cause shes a dragon. Super Galaxy, isn't very dragon-like. Oh! Another problem. 'Azure' as in, blue? Like Challenger, And Ice Drake? They'll need a way to make it a bit more..unique.

P.S. Yes Sol'd be awesome with a new skin. Cause Dragons.

Edit- Love the icon, by the way. I know it's a common one, but it's still cool. I don't play Azir much, so I wouldn't get it myself. I merry much prefer the icon depicts champs i',m actually into :P

Edit #2- I don't play Ranmus or Rengar. The rest are fair game, if I were to get em. Especially Anivia's,

Wind234Apr 17, 20172 votes

I don't even play three of these champions and I'd buy these skins lol

Seiryuu
Suzaku
Byakko
Genbu
Kohryu

Sips EstrogenApr 17, 20172 votes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Symbols_(China) The Four Symbols were given human names after Daoism became popular. The Azure Dragon has the name Meng Zhang (孟章), the Vermilion Bird was called Ling Guang (陵光), the White Tiger Jian Bing (監兵), and the Black Turtle Zhi Ming (執明).

Sips EstrogenApr 17, 20172 votes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_Dragon As for Huang Long he's only called Kohryu in Japanese,(traditional Chinese: 黃龍; simplified Chinese: 黄龙; pinyin: Huánglóng; Japanese: Kōryū or Ōryū; Korean: Hwang-Ryong; Vietnamese: Hoàng Long)

GrReaper96Apr 17, 20171 votes

Yeah i know China made them first but they sound so much cooler in Japan. And like i said a Persona fan. In the games they use the Japan names.

Sips EstrogenApr 17, 20172 votes

Why use the Japanese names for a Chinese themed holiday..

GrReaper96Apr 17, 20171 votes

I mean it doesnt have to be for lunar revel...

Chembaron YamadaApr 18, 20172 votes

Since Riot would never use these names for the skins (doesn't matter if chinese or japanese), there is no need to discuss this. ^^

The general idea fits and especially well for lunar revel, just don't expect them to use the chinese names for the skins. They will probably just go for "Warring Kingdoms" or stuff like that again. ^^

BlackHairedGirlApr 18, 20172 votes

That would be so cool- Riot's Lunar Revel skins are amazing!

Bruh I was just thinking about an idea like this the other day O.o

Velzard of KozApr 17, 20171 votes

I'm no oriental mythology expert, but I did enough math to know one of them didn't seem to qualify.

Sips EstrogenApr 17, 20172 votes

If you just read the comment above I didn't say ''5 cardinal beasts'' because the Yellow Dragon is not in every instance of their representation. It's just if Riot chooses to include Huang Long or not.

Velzard of KozApr 17, 20171 votes

Chill, it was just a joke. I'd hope they would use Huang Short instead, tho.

TerozuApr 17, 20171 votes

Vermillion is a shade of Red, and Azure is a shade of Blue... So I'm tilted from that.
