Ultimate Skin for Lucian - Senna

What do you think of this idea?

Every ultimate skin has a story behind it, and this story is what you could imagine it to be: when Thresh fought Lucian and Senna, Lucian was the one to die, perhaps he knocked Senna out of the way and instead lost his soul to Thresh's lantern.

The new quotes would give us insight into who Senna was, because while she may not be the Senna that died for Lucian and who was indirectly responsible for who Lucian is now, she could have just as easily become this Senna. And in the vein of preserving who that Senna was, this Senna of a parallel path may be her own character.

Since every Legendary skin has it's own unique thing going on (Udyr has the animal spirits interacting with everything he does as Spirit Guard, Sona has different music going on for whatever fits her vibe as a DJ, and Ezreal has an AI that speaks as well as evolving appearance) I figured for Senna, she would get access to more quotes as times goes on throughout the match that might grow progressively darker, to the point where she is as cold, cynical, and merciless as Lucian, and resembles - personality-wise - little of what she started as.

And that might make us all get a glimpse into who Lucian might have been before losing Senna, since for the majority of us, the serious and sardonic Lucian is all we really know.

What do you think?

Overall a really nice idea,but I doubt it will happen,I remember a rioter talking about how they want to keep the characters even in skins,so that no matter skin you pick for your champ,its still the same person.

I also think that Sennas change would need to be a different,because all ultimate skins have several models(ezreal and udyr have evolving models,sona can change between them) and I think that Senna might even go a bit darker than lucian(because lucian was originally a very kind man,while senna was described as "dedicated to the cause",implying that she had already a slightly "darker" personality than lucian),I mean where'd be the big change if it basically changed to a female lucian?

You asked what I thought, but the irony is that after reading your post I couldn't think. It's dark, it's strange, but still elegant in concept, and eloquent in wording. I think now that I've had some space that it might be a bit much to handle in one skin. It needs its own story, but then it also needs a justification for bringing Senna back to life. (So to speak.) Senna's absence is a critical part of who Lucian is...

I'm just going to back away slowly and insist I don't have an opinion.

OMG my first thought after seeing Seena is John Cena. I'm definitely poisoned by memes

This needs to be the next ultimate skin. It MUST be.

How about no? Sure it's a nice idea and all, but I would greatly prefer to actually have Senna as a champion? In the Harrowing a few months ago, Riot confirmed that Senna was still technically alive because Thresh only took her soul, the possibility to bring her back is there, especially if Lucian is ever able to defeat Thresh. It was all in the weird Harrowing story that got mixed up into Bilgewater and Gangplank

That would be a bigger change in lore and visuals than a Sion with GP as his axe. I doubt it'll happen, but cool concept nonetheless.

I think this is a great concept, but I don't see much of a reason for the dialogue to change too drastically. I always wondered what it would be like if things happened differently for those two.

There's only one problem with that skin: Riot said they'll never do skins that change gender of a character.

Maybe instead of Senna, use Lucians transition to what he is now.

Ultimate skin for lucian- White lucian, but i think hired gun takes care of that. each point into his ult makes him more whiter.

I know Bioluminescence commented on a Senna Lucian skin in her Q+A awhile ago.

Or make Senna a champ

well I for one think it would be an amazing idea!

This could easily be a legendary skin if no transforming was involved. Maybe just a Senna pre-Thresh sorta thing. I feel like it'd be a gender-swap almost, but I feel like Lucian's the only exception of this type of thing working.

Perhaps Lucian's ultimate skin could represent what happens if he sets Senna's spirit free from Thresh' lantern? Lucian now has Senna's spirit by his side and they interact in their VO. When Lucian uses his abilities, Senna appears to aid his aim.

cool. ...

Seems cool but the only problem would be clarity. People who are new to the game will most likely get confused and think its a complete different champ.
