WORLDBREAKER Illaoi

Hello, I wanted to throw my 2 cents in for a concept for Illaoi that I think would be great!

Illaoi speaks to themes of ancient and powerful with the fact she carries her god beside her. She is a prophet/priestess who will enact her god's brutal will on others. When the Worldbreaker skins came out and I saw the artwork I noticed how much it could really work with Illaoi.

The Worldbreaker skins "look" like something out of Mayan, Inca, or Aztec cultures. Specifically with the Aztecs, they believed in very cruel gods and sacrificed others to their gods. The general idea I am proposing is that a Worldbreaker theme of an Aztec or Mayan priestess skinned Illaoi who carries her god with her, possibly allowing for a alternate color of her Tentacle Passive other than green or purple.

I think that this is a cool idea that thematically can work with Illaoi and being that Illaoi only has 2 skins, she could really benefit from a skin the REINFORCES her themes of an ancient god, power and strength, and cruelty.

I thought the point of picking Trundle Nautilus Nasus Hecarim was to highlight the monstrous aspect of those Aztec Gods. Adding a human to that lineup would be a bit odd.

Maybe, but the idea is that she carries her god in her hands. Thematically I think it makes great sense. If you have seen Road to Eldorado, Tzekel-Kan is kinda what I would imagine Illaoi as being similar. A mortal who is zealotous for the old ways of sacrifice and not simple parlor tricks to show her god is real.

Dunno if Priestress or Zealot Illaoi wouldn't be better then. Worldbreaker are huge (according to their splashes) and adding a human just irks me. But that's just how I feel about that.
