Next arcade skins theory and speculation.

The new splash art for arcade riven revealing a vs like select revealing 1 missing slot on Riven's side and 3 empty slots on Blitzcrank's side. These obviously mean in my opinion their is 4 more arcade skin in the works. All we know that it can't be is Yorick, Poppy, Riven, Miss Fortune, Sona, Veiger, Blitzcrank, and Hecarim. My guess the next 4 skins will be for 1 mid lane champion 1 adc 1 top 1 jungle. My guess of this is because the arcade skins seem to be trying to be a full team skin like the SKT T1 where if everyone plays the skin you get a full comp ofcourse SKT T1 is based off a Esport team but same concept. Tell me your possible theories on the next arcade skin! Theirs also an option it could be a new champion that on release skin will be in this theme like Vel'koz and the battlecast skins

Arcade Riven Syndra Hecarim MissFortune Sona

___ Boss Singed Veigar Rammus Draven Blitzcrank

...Although, deep down I'm hoping for Arcade Orianna :3

biologist11Aug 11, 20153 votes

I honestly think they won't do singed. Possibley nasus?

Origami KaijuAug 11, 20152 votes

Yeah, that's likely.

My wishful List from another thread:

Arcade Karthus for Mid Arcade Riven for Top Arcade Hecarim for Jung Arcade Sona for Supp Arcade MissFortune for ADC

Super Boss Chogath for Top Secret Boss for Jung Mini Boss Kalista for ADC Final Boss Veigar for Mid Battle Boss Blitzcrank for Supp

biologist11Aug 11, 20153 votes

To be honest I think they will do Arcade Xerath. Imagine the pixels!

TheFirstGokunAug 11, 20154 votes

Said it before and I'll say it again: Malzahar has the most potential for an Arcade skin. Imagine Space Invader voidlings.

BurningRiceAug 11, 20153 votes

Boss Nocturne would be so badass. He could pop his ultimate and the entire enemy team hears "game over" followed by his menacing laugh

biologist11Aug 11, 20151 votes

His Q would probably look great to!

SwordEternalAug 15, 20151 votes

Yea I would love to see a new skin for nocturne and a boss skin would be amazing!

DeunneAug 26, 20161 votes

probably a secret boss because nocturne popped out of nowhere seen in the lore, but I think just arcade or glitch nocturne would be good too

JamieheartAug 11, 20153 votes

arcade Heimerdinger has potential as an actual skin tbh

for the 3 other bosses, we can only speculate, but i'd love if they gave Yorick some attention, his ghosts could be made into videogame references

biologist11Aug 11, 20153 votes

The only problem with yorick is there waiting on his rework but! Imagine his ghost being the Pacman ghost.

The next Arcade skin will be a midlaner, likely Orianna or Malzahar IMO. The remaining Boss skins will be a top, jungle, and ADC. Some of my guesses might be Nasus, Sion, Shyvana, Nocturne, Varus, or Jinx.

Crowe StalkerAug 11, 20152 votes

I and an individual called missinggraves already speculated that Nasus (Raid Boss) Sion (Titan, especially with item 3742 ) Nautilus (Aquatic Depths) Amumu (Tut-orial) and Varus (Dark Elf) were all possible candidates for Boss skins.

Elise (Cult Priestess Boss) and Jinx (Crime Boss) are also possible.

Arcade Viktor makes me think of an Anti-Hero you find along the way and is actually really nice when you get to know him.

How would be Arcade Zed

NewFoundAbilityAug 12, 20151 votes

I personally really want an Arcade now, more than ever.

Has to be a mid laner. Of course I can see Arcade skins working well as , , , and

**I would like to see Boss-wise ** Darius Top (Mini Boss Darius) Jungle (Hidden Boss Fiddlesticks) Veigar Mid (Final Boss Veigar) Kalista AD (Super Boss Kalista) Blitzcrank Support (Battle Boss Blizcrank)

IcyPepperAug 12, 20151 votes

I kind of sense a potential boys vs girls theme going on here, which is classic when it comes to video games.

I totally see Lux being the next Arcade champion, or maybe even Syndra or Orianna (especially if it becomes boys vs girls... considering Blitz)

As for the Final bosses...? Well, let's think about it.

Veigar is obviously the RPG dark wizard final fantasy boss dude. Blitzcrank is the giant boss with the big hands

so maybe...

Aatrox the brooding antagonist that intimidates the players themselves with their aura of badassness Malphite the boss that basically never dies until he finally does (also Chogath or JarvanIV ) Graves let's be real here, bosses tend to have assloads of HP. ADC's are squishy by nature, but Graves is the tankiest of them all. This guy will not go down easy, and is therefore my candidate for a final boss.

Stars ShaperAug 12, 20151 votes

My guesses for the next Arcades:

Final Boss

Gangplank / Malphite (Top) Chogath (Jungle) Urgot (ADC)

Arcade

Anivia or Orianna

biologist11Aug 12, 20151 votes

The final boss Gp could be likely since you can see Gp in the new fizz skin splashart. Ofcourse Gp could be there since they wanted to draw Gp in the splash.

Man, im really hoping that its heim, all of his skins are either limited or look kinda weird, I feel that he really needs to be a part of something, anyways, wouldn't it be cool to toss your 35$ game controllers at people? ;D

GreenLoreSep 3, 20151 votes

Battle boss Mordekaiser seems like a must to me. I mean the arcade skins try to represent different classical videogame stuff(with the arcade skins representing genres,while the boss skins represent common themes among enemies) Veigar is the evil magician Blitzcrank is the typical robot boss Riven the typical rpg protagonist with a sword(she even chooses a sword out of her inventory for her recall) Sona represents dancing games MissFortune stands for (arcade)shooters Hecarim for guitar playing games with an added robot unicorn reference and boost-platforms ala high-speed racing games. Evil overlords in full body armor are so common among fantasy settings that Morde would perfectly into this.

The big question would be if they'd consider him the bottom-lane champ or the top lane one(after all toplane morde right now is really bad,but they try to bring him back) and how they'd alter his look,considering that Morde does look already like a typical RPG boss(but not very arcade like).

For Arcade: Riven Syndra MissFortune Sona Hecarim

For Boss: Maokai Veigar Jinx Blitzcrank Nocturne

Frothy SliderNov 9, 20151 votes

I think Heimerdinger as a wily/eggman style antagonist makes perfect sense. They could give him a flying orb thing and make his turrets little robots.

Frothy SliderNov 9, 20151 votes

I could also see a boss skin of Zac based of yellow devil or a slime. It fits the boss archetype motif.

But, There is one man...well boy, Who we forget about The one who deserves the title of "Arcade" the most, He is Ekko Ekko The Boy Who Shattered Time, Hear me out... lol https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipObFxA5j2fJYgf5qoW6ffm43YNRNBNq-wBuHQeJ https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipNjlky_iaSUt4A545O7mdSeFh9ewVHWapV2yd67 https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipNI8qYUvIyF8IPwZkA8Ym-QzkJm7EMuMNklq0GP https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipNyfVk9TdwXzLGbIYtg3WrSK-tr2IL1IKVrNPL_

I know they arent the best but the idea is the point of these pictures

ZolashaMay 7, 20161 votes

So this is an old thread. I was curious what people thought. I'm kind of a filthy casual League player so I don't really feel like I have much say since I am not completely caught up to lore and all that. I think you were the only post that mentioned Ekko in this conversation and I had a thought about it.

Riven versus Ekko Riven and Ekko both are champions that use swords. They both are mobile to some degree and can I guess "juke" other players. They both have a mobility stopper skill to stun other champions.

In the Arcade Riven screen we saw a poro with a mohawk that reminds me of Ekko so why not include him? Well I don't know what kind of genre Ekko would represent. I thought of though how Ekko in my opinion could mirror Riven in combat if you just look at what their kits kind of do in my opinion but like I said I don't know much so sorry to all the people who disagree.

Now the boss role for Ekko? Think of Pokemon red and blue version with Ash/Red and Gary/Blue? Blue was the rival of Red and fought with Red along the journey and is the "final" fight in the Elite Four. Blue was also around a lot of the parts where you fought "Team Rocket" but never really helped you fight them. So it was like Blue was working with them.

Mega Man and Protoman. They are kind of like mirrors also. Protoman usually was on the opposite side of Mega Man in the early series. Later spin offs Protoman was seen as a good person but still there is the kind of rivalry between them.

So it may be dumb but I was thinking Ekko could be a boss skin and show up as "The Rival" I guess it'd be cool to get thoughts on that. Hope everyone has a good time with League.

Now what about a Mega boss Mordekaiser ?

biologist11May 5, 20161 votes

It would be cool but he is now on a vgu list so I doubt it.

DwarvenGiantMay 13, 20161 votes

They aren't actively working on him though. I think it makes him eligible for a skin, for the time being.

Mega Gear SolidMay 5, 20161 votes

it could be "Arcade secret boss yasuo". it could go to that way of how there is a secret boss in almost every game.

Malzahar for arcade mid Jinx for battle boss ADC Illaoi for battle boss Top lol would love to see more illaoi skins Udyr or for battle boss Jungle wouldn't you love to see udyr's spirits be pixeled
