Next Ultimate Skin Discussion and Theories
So it's been a while since we've heard anything about the next Ultimate skin. From what I remember, the lasts hint given were:
-
The champ has 3 or fewer skins (excluding their default)
-
The champ has the letter "a" as the fourth letter in one of their abilities.
So with that in mind, these are the Champions that are eligible for that:
Diana
Elise
Evelynn (see below)
Nami
Nautilus
Rengar
Rumble
Skarner
Vel'Koz
Vi
Xerath
Zyra
(credit goes to Miirik for originally checking and making this list for their thread back in August)
(Evelynn has received a skin in the time since these hints were given, putting her at more than 3 or fewer skins, excluding her default, so she may or may not still be eligible.)
So, disregarding the fact that some of these Champions have gotten skins recently, who do you think has the best chance of getting one? Or, rather, who do you think has the best ideas for one?
Personally, I think Rengar has a good chance of getting it. Or at least I think it would be easy to design a really cool Ultimate skin for him. Imagine, a transforming model that changes every time he gets a Trophy on his Bonetooth Necklace.
3 Trophies: New running animation while out of combat or in brush to show he has increased movement speed.
6 Trophies: Perhaps some new vocals of Rengar stalking his prey when he's close to being in-range or in-range (such as his breathing becoming quicker and fiercer the closer he gets), and maybe a unique stance/running animation when close to being in-range and while in-range. This could also potentially be affected by the specific theme of the Ultimate Skin itself.
12 Trophies: While stealthed in his ult, Rengar's invis "aura" you see around him could look all fancy and cool (again, possibly dependent on the specific theme). He could also have a unique movement animation and voice overs for the duration of his longer ult.
20 Trophies: Another change in his voice during his ult, perhaps sounding more and more fierce and primal as it goes on and as he gets closer to his targets.
Head of Kha'Zix: Complete ferocity. Effects and voice/animation changes of 20+ trophies, as well as the actual head of Kha'Zix appearing somewhere on Rengar's model for the rest of the game (maybe even have his claws replace Rengar's knives).
All of these changes on top of some sort of visual indicator on his model that shows how many stacks he has. It'd be good for clarity and cool points.
All of these are just suggestions. Not very good ones tbh, but I hope they at least give you an idea as to why I think he could make for a good recipient of a cool Ultimate Skin.
