PROJECT: Skins possibilities

Not quite sure if this is exactly the place to put this, and do take this with a grain of salt. I'm certain it'll get downvoted, which I'm ready to accept in the general climate of PROJECT: -based stupidity, but I do have some theories involving what a Rioter teased could be even more "bad guys" for the PROJECT: skins. Obviously, nothing's set in stone about the skins and whether or not there'll be more, but that's where the fun of thinking up possibilities comes into play. So, first off, let's look at what we know about the current six PROJECT: skins.

1. Each Champion with a PROJECT: Skin has some method of gap-closing/dash ability. Yasuo's Sweeping Blade, Zed's Living Shadow, Master Yi's Alpha Strike, Fiora's Lunge, Lucian's Relentless Pursuit, and Leona's Zenith Blade. Taking this into account, it's very likely that, if there will be more PROJECT: Skins, they'll belong to other Champions with a dash/gap closer. 2. We are not sure EXACTLY who is on whose side. Although, from what we can gather, Lucian, Fiora, and Master Yi are on the "good" side, while Zed is clearly a malign force. Yasuo and Leona are insofar "rogue elements", Yasuo moreso than Leona. Given the lore backgrounds of each of the champions, we know this; Leona is good, since she uses her Solari powers for protective uses, Fiora is more or less neutral-good, in that she fights only for the challenge, but has Demacian heritage. Lucian is good, in that he seeks to purify the world of the taint of the Shadow Isles - although his conviction borders zeal. Master Yi is good; he seeks to hone his skills and pass on the legacy of Wuju. Meanwhile, Zed's lore specifically paints him as a villain, having killed Shen's father in cold blood and mastered forbidden arts. Yasuo, on the other hand, is wanted and considered evil by his own people, but is actually good. It cannot be directly said yet whose side Yasuo is on, though. This all being said, it's possible that there are four more villains coming up (hypothetically), or three villains and one extra hero.

While those are the only two points I have available right off-hand, it still gives me enough information to think up quite a few Champions that could hypothetically receive PROJECT: skins on those lines of thought. Which, is a list I will provide; (Note; those Italicized are Champions who I believe are more suited to receive a PROJECT: Skin than others; my ideas are at personal discretion and do not reflect the ideas of Riot, and they may very well pick Champions further down the line if they continue the series that I found would not have fit.)

Good Champions: Xin Zhao, Shauna Vayne, Shen, Quinn, Pantheon, Jax, Irelia, Ahri. Neutral Champions: Ekko, Malcolm Graves, Kalista, Kassadin, Riven*, Sejuani, Tryndamere, Vi*. Evil Champions: Talon, LeBlanc, Katarina du Couteau, Diana, Aatrox.

*I classify Riven and Vi as neutral in that Riven is a self-imposed exile of Noxus, and Vi has a tendency to ignore the laws of Piltover and accidentally cause collateral damage while on a case. Also, Sejuani is struck through because bears may not fit well with PROJECT. But, again, Riot may do it, and they may very well pull it off.

Feel free to discuss this, or ask why I highlighted some champion possibilities over others. Thank you for reading.

I believe Kassadin definitely deserves a PROJECT skin to be honest. He is just that kind of champion

Idea...Shyvana...HEAR ME OUT!

So there I was in class and I day dreamed alittle bit...and I thought of a PROJECT Shyvana. She had the face of PROJECT Yi/Dj Sona. With two horns on it. She had a white, black and semi orange palette on her body. The leg and uppper area was mostly white with a taint of black lines, while the stomach area was completely grey-ish black with some even darker black lines visible. She had some shoes like Zero Suit Samus in Super Smash Bros for Wii U. And she had some yellow stripes, representing a flow of energy, especially around the horns, which are mostly black btw but the helmet part was white. Her back was black with some orange lines and a triangle glowing on her back. Her gloves where white with some thicker energy lines on them, but don't compare how thick the energy lines are on her horns. I haven't imagined a Dragon form yet, but I still think it can somehow work.

I honestly was hoping for PROJECT: Ekko. even the name sounds good. and with his effects, and the dash/blink ability he has. it coulda been a good fit.

If you are going to classify it by having a dash, Shyvana has an ult-dash :3

Any reason you excluded Thresh? He has a gap closer in the second half of his Q and visually his lantern and ult would look good (my opionion)
