Wizard of Oz Skin Bundle

Riot, time to roll out a big 10 skin bundle based on the classic story and movie, The Wizard of Oz.

Here are a list of champions with good Oz concepts. Sorry, I haven't drawn any pictures. The descriptions should be enough to help you get a good idea of what the new skins would look like. If you're familiar with the 1939 movie, you should be able to picture them in your head.

Dorothy - Annie Annie - The Dark Child looks great as Red Riding Hood and Alice in Wonderland. Give her the classic blue dress, ruby slippers, and put her hair back in pigtails. It's perfect. SHe would carry a basket around with Toto in it. Toto is Tibbers. It is too good.

Scarecrow - Fiddlesticks Fiddlesticks - Make LoL's own scarecrow a bit less menacing, give him a hat, and he's just about there. Plus, his current dance is the scarecrow's dance from Wizard of Oz.

Tin Man - Sion Sion - Slow, axe-swinging. Make Sion a Full Metal Sion version, but make it very retro looking. And he has to be wearing a metal funnel for a hat. He could have a funny quote like, "If I only had your heart!"

Cowardly Lion - Rengar Rengar - Haha pretty much the opposite of a cowardly lion. Rengar recolored to gold would be perfect. Maybe during a recall, he could put on a crown and a giant cape and be "King of the Forest."

Wizard of Oz - Zilean Zilean - This one is kinda tough. I have the urge to just put tons of green on him. However, he should be wearing a a black suit and top hat. Make his floating clock a tribute to the Emerald City: big, green, shimmery. I think he pulls it off.

Good Witch - Lux Lux - Lux pulls off a the look. Give her a somewhat pink dress and a giant wand in place of her staff. One of her moves shields allies in a bubble, just like the Good Witch. Make her ult a giant rainbow (it kinda already is); just make it more defined as a rainbow.

Wicked Witch - Morgana Morgana - Our Fallen Angel fits. Recolor her green. Give her a black dress and witch hat. Have her carry a broom in one hand. Her death animation would be "I'm melting!" Her recall would be her getting on the broom to fly away.

Wicked Foot Soldier - Xin Zhao XinZhao - Hopefully you remember these guys. They stood guard at the witch's castle. Well, change XZ's armor, give him face paint, give a giant fur hat, and slightly modify his spear. He could even have an annoying chant, "O-E-O. YO-O."

Flying Monkey - Galio Galio - You might ask me why I didn't choose Wukong for this, since he is actually a monkey. Galio has the look, the wings, the flying, and when he lands on the ground he uses his hands to help stand (sorta like some apes). Recolor him, give him a cute coat, a monkey face, and a little hat matching the coat.

Apple-Throwing Trees - Maokai Maokai - This one is too easy. A simple recolor would do. Change his saplings into apples! Perfect skin.

Tell what you think. It's kinda nerdy, but it's fun. And there is a lot of potential money rolling out a large set of skins like this.

For Zilean could make the clock instead the giant fake face of the wizard?

Don't forget that one of Fiddlesticks's quotes is "I haven't got a brain, and soon... neither will you!"

Hmmm. Tinman Mordekaiser makes more sense.

My question is why riot hasn't already hired you. This would make a great cinematic Did I tell you how genious you are?

Everyone keeps saying Blitz for the Tin Man. But I say we ought to put in League's own Tin Man Mordekaiser

We can't use Mordekaiser as tin man because he's the iron man.

Yes.

I would buy that bundle in a heartbeat..

I think Riot wouldn't do that because it doesn't really resonate with asian cultures

I mean they used that BS excuse on skins like Pizza Delivery Sivir and a football related skin I don't remember, so... Yeah :(

Love the concept.

Gonna throw in some alternates that I think might be better. A Naut skin would be a far better Tin Man IMO, the whole no heart thing works with his vibe. His anchor could be reskinned to an axe as well.

Second, I think TF makes a better Oz. He has a hat already, fits the wizardly bill in appearance, but, most importantly, his is a con artist. I just think he is a better fit.

Lissandra might make a better Elphaba as well.

And if for whatever reason you wanted a viable team comp, Draven could stand in for Tin Man too.

I think Jinx as Dorothy would be funny. She already has her hair in braids, the basket where Todo is carried could be her minigun, her zap could be explode in a shower of poppies (like the sleeping poppy field in the movie), and her ult could be Dorothy's house or something, with tornado-ish effects around it. When Jinx fires her ult, she could yell, "It's a twister, it's a twister!" or something like that xD

In what world would Sion, an undead champ, be considered the tin man?
