"Why are we not funding this!?" (Skin Ideas Based off of Iconic Characters)

GoodGuyMoore·Feb 4, 2015·2 votes·629 views

A few ideas for skins based off of iconic characters from movies, tv shows, comics, video games, etc.

Obviously many of these are protected under copyright laws but I'm sure parodies or variations could be created.

Ziggs - Bomberman (from the Video Game Bomberman) Kassadin - Zurg (from the Movie Toy Story) Singed - Heisenburg (from the TV Show Breaking Bad) Tristana - Smurf (from the TV Show Smurfs) Blitzcrank - Iron Giant (from the Movie The Iron Giant) Vel'Koz - Eye of Sauron (from the Movie Lord of the Rings)

If any of these skins are already available feel free to ignore them.

I'll add more as I think of them, feel free to add your own ideas! (try to follow the format as well Champ/Skin/Source keeps it simple, thanks!)

while i would be so for this, for what ever reason Riot doesnt do stuff like this anymore. i guess they are afraid of Copyright which is all perfectly fine, but if you done it before (eg Shen's Mortal Kombat skins, Nunu's Cookie Monster/Grouch skin, etc.) i dont get why it was fine back then but not now!

If anything, maybe the monthly custom skin idea will come around. Obviously it would have to be something that doesn't have questionable copyright restrictions but I think the community is creating some amazing concepts that should be considered.

Maybe instead the poll should read, "Do you think Riot should consider more community skins?" or something along those lines...

With the amount of Content i have seen the Community make im really surprised Riot hasnt done anything about it. granted we do get it some times like Fiddles Birthday Party Skin, but its something that rarely happens. its sad because i know a lot of people who do this put a lot of work into it, and it usually gets unnoticed, and thats a real shame! The thing that also gets me is the fact that some people will make skins for champs that are in dire need of a new skin and that could really help! But again because it goes unnoticed no replies from Riot or anything nothing gets done about it!
