I think this would be a cool skin, but with a twist. At first he starts with one head, and is small ofc, and for each stack he has he gets a head. Just an idea, like to hear what you guys think!

There was planned a hydra like champ like 3 years ago....but it got cancelled..

Too bad it never came about, it'd be one of the more interesting champions to play.

I hope they revive the concept,I mean their reason for that was that it was too inhuman to relate to,but nowadays they are much more willing to make inhuman champs.

pffft... seriously i've heard this bull crap so much and honestly... its so stupid how can a champion design's greatest flaw be the fact it isnt humanoid?!? it's frustrating how RIOT thinks that just because it isnt human or doesnt have tits to flash about, or overly active fans swooning over the masculine designs or fluffy exteriors Look at DOTA2. They have Humanoid characters, yeah, but they have quite a number of non human or humanoid characters: Broodmother Venomancer Jakiro Puck the list goes on guys so let's be honest... what is the real reason why RIOT wont take that many non-humanoid characters? Fan Servicing

That was during the time of season 2 I think and back then they were still afraid to make champions that are a bit hard to relate to(thats why elise has a human form and a spider form instead of making her a hybrid monster). I think one of the rioters even called it dude-/babesplosion once,pretty much admitting that they shouldn't have been too afraid to experiment with something new.

But anyway in the end Riot got over this and are nowadays perfectly happy with making more monsters and other inhuman champs and I'm glad that this is the case because I find monstrous champs generally more interesting than humans.

I guess, but we are still getting so many "HUMANOID" characters When will they actually branch out to something full monster?

GreenLoreMar 4, 20161 votes

how are Velkoz and RekSai humanoid?

Cosmicpanda2Mar 4, 20161 votes

good point on vel'koz, but rek'sai still posses a bipedal structure and is remarkably human like in its design

GreenLoreMar 4, 20161 votes

Uhm Rek'sai might have arms,but she has 4 legs,she isn't really more humanoid than pretty much every animal with a arms...

Imagine getting hit for 4550 true damage + 490% AP when he gets 6 additional heads.

You know I'd like to see that as a legendary skin But Oh god Cho already has two...

Would probably have to be an ultimate skin given the complexity of adding extra heads.

Could be a ultimate actually fights that more if they do it right.

YES. I play Cho'Gath and I would love to use this skin. Khazix <3

CyraxKickYourButMar 1, 20161 votes

I like it, but all the heads moving about individually may cause some lag, dont ya thnk?

ArakadiaMar 2, 20161 votes

Velkoz has that, yet its not a problem.

ZT XperimentorMar 1, 20161 votes

I figured it'd be a nightmare to program, but man would it be impressive & satisfying to play. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

GreenLoreMar 1, 20161 votes

The big problem is that it would create clarity issues. Hydra cho'gath would look nothing like cho'gath after a certain amount of stacks.

Though they plan to make cho'Gaths model evolve once he gets a VU,so maybe then they could actually do something like that.

ArakadiaMar 2, 20161 votes

Well alot of skins make the champion look very different. Elderwood LB, Spirit Fire Brand, etc.

GreenLoreMar 2, 20162 votes

Yeah but the general shape remains intact. Elderwood LB is still a humanoid woman,with a weird headpiece,a cloak with a high collar and a staff. Spirit fire brand is still a humanoid and Shadowfire kindred still keeps the body shape of the lamb and has wolf as a floating head.
