Would it be possible to have a Shyvana skin in reference to Spyro the Dragon?

If my username and choice of champion couldn't point you in the direction of the skin idea you are either too young to remember this amazing video game character in his glory days, or have been living under a rock since the 90's. Way back from my first day of playing league, I remembered my friend telling me that a dragon was an available champion in the game. I quickly picked Shyvana up and spent countless hours learning her to as much of a fine point as my beginner noob mind could handle. To this day, I am still a huge fan of Shyvana and love playing her whenever a chance is given to me. However, I always feel like Riot has been missing out on a wondrous chance to give Shyvana, and dragon fans in general, a chance to truly enjoy Shyvana for what she is; a dragon. Therefore, I would like to pitch the idea that she be given a skin that is reminiscent of one of Sony's greatest unofficial mascots of all time, Spyro the Dragon. Spyro has been a part of many of our childhood memories and I feel like having a Spyro skin for Shyvana would be a perfect fit. The link I have provided is a picture of Spyro from one of his earlier games. Thank you Riot in advance for taking the time to read my request.

Edit: I had no idea the image would be so large.

Skylandor has their hand on the Sue button ? I was also a fan of Spyro growing up so I can kind of see where you coming from . But having an interest in seeing something come skin is a part of it in terms of transitioning what I mean is do you have any type of recommended animations to allocate to the scan idea ? And how would you incorporate Spyros firefly friend into the skin ? What I'm basically saying is how can you make the skin special so that it's just not a purple recoloring

how would you incorporate Spyros firefly friend into the skin ?

Answer:

  1. when this skin has a item 3026 Sparx is shown raising her instead of the normal effects.

  2. when this skin has a item 3102 Sparx flies around her instead the normal effects.

  3. in a joke, taunt, or recall animation.

  4. spell effect either W,E, or both

in the case of one or two that would make it quite the special interaction like ultimate skin level, for three I suppose that might work considering spirit guard Goodyear or spirit firebrand . Number four relates to something else that I commented about about what with the animations be for the skin excluding her e

In terms of Sparx, the firefly, he could be used in a similar manner to the original game where he is a representation of your health bar. His color changes as your health drops. Originally when Sparx is yellow it would be an indication of full health, or near full health to relate to league, blue would be used to indicate slight health loss, green would represent semi-low health, and Sparx disappearing would show critical health condition. As for the abilities, Shyvana's W has a speed boost to it, I feel that can be used to make reference to the Super Charge ramps from the original games where instead of a flame trail, it would be a smoke trail in it's place. Her E wouldn't need much work other than a possible re-coloring just to match Spyro's flame breath, which would be more accurately shown if she were transformed. Her Q I don't have much of an idea about, so sadly I can't pitch an idea for that animation. Her transformation is her jumping with her wings spread, so that would already be an easy swap to make it look like she was gliding in the same way that Spyro would. On the topic of the item 3026 instead of Sparx raising raising Shyvana, it could be the fairy Zoe. As for item 3102, from Spyro Year of the Dragon, Sparx had an unlockable extra hit where he had a certain glowing aura around him. I feel that would be a nice fit for the item's animation.
