Need more region swapping skins

Xodiathe4bdn1··5 votes·928 views

Of the many skin themes in league, the region swapping skin themes is one of my favorites.

Bilgewater katarina https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/f/f8/Katarina_BilgewaterSkin.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/640?cb=20170621013320

Freljord Taliyah https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/e/ea/Taliyah_FreljordSkin.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/640?cb=20170615230202

Noxus poppy https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/3/39/Poppy_NoxusSkin.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/640?cb=20170621034906

I find them all to be very interesting skin sets and give a nice idea of the what if these champions hailed from different regions. I'd hope to see more of skins like these sometime in future and maybe even see skins for regions not yet explored in this concept. Regions like demacia, shurima, Zaun and some others.

Edit: completely forgot about the new Zaun themed skin of Chemtech Tryndamere https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/c/c1/Tryndamere_ChemtechSkin.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/640?cb=20170516231224 Thank you SatomiKun

Noxus Garen and Demacia Darius when? This duo release needs to happen.

I was hoping to see a demacia kled to parallel noxus poppy as both these yordles are such an important part of these two warring nations

I still don't get it why people think that it's impossible for Kat to visit bilgewater the first place to have this skin... It's like literally 1 boat distance from Noxus...

Not impossible, but skins mostly represent versions of a champ from another universe. Therefore it is kinda lame if it's just "Katarina went to Bilgewater in this universe, she is still Noxian and basically nothing changed".

Imagining this Katarina being born in Bilgewater and a member of their society is much more fun.

Lame... plus she just dressed like that to go to a mission in Bilgewater, there can be lore and an awesome tale to it... I actually made an example in my fanfiction. Zzz...

Like I said, it's possible. As long as Riot isn't giving us a clear statement about what version is correct, we have to accept that different people interpret stuff in different ways.

Your version is right for you, the bilgewater katarina being born there version is correct for other people.

Nothing wrong with that, everyone can enjoy his own headcanon.

We recently got a Zaun themed swap with Chemtech Tryndamere. ^^ But I totally agree, it's fun to see how a champ would look like if they would be born in another faction.

Hopefully we see more of these in the future.^^

Good call I completely forgot about that [slayer-jinx-catface]

Shurima Zilean could be super awesome if he was made in modern standards- Imagine him carrying a Sun Disc on his back!

Another existing skin with untapped potential is Freljord Rammus- With the established shape language of the Freljord, this skin could look so much cooler and could be representation of one of many fantasies- Be it a legendary Freljordian guardian creature or one of Lissandra's Black Ice pawns and many many more.

I love what they did with with the re-imagination of Tundra Hunter as an actual legendary Freljordian monster wolf. The splash delivers on the fantasy so greatly, it's one of my favorites in the game!

Also, I've always loved the Bilgewater skins we got during Burning Tides for Garen, Quinn, Aatrox and Malphite. But I love Bilgewater in general so I'm kinda biased. :P

-_-

I personally always thought that Bilgewater Gragas would be really fitting, with the fantasy of him being a merchant of magical red rum in the black market of Butcher's Bridge, clothed in a sea-faring Bilgerat's clothes and possessing a decorated barrel in which he keeps his incredibly empowering drink.

######I'd update this post if I have any more ideas. :P

Would love to see a Noxus Ahri. Like if she had joined the Noxians for some reason during the Ionian War.

zrWQMdGHtY1 votes

What does Ahri have to do with the Ionian wars? oO

mkyner1 votes

Her old lore had a story where she took out a squad of Noxian soldiers.

zrWQMdGHtY1 votes

So? Katarina had killed Noxians too. Does that make her Ionian?

What's your point? I don't understand what you're getting at.

I really like Freljord Taliyah; tried it on during ARAM cos my friend had her and it's adorable.
