Zilean skin missed opportunity?

This is just an idea for a zil skin that coulda been pretty sick.

Im a zil main. I love him but clearly rito, not so much. going on 4-5 years since a skin release for my guy. I got to thinking about what could be a cool skin since they said they would be giving him one this year and i thought that a Haunted Zilean would have been pretty sick.

His (Q) - Throw a jack-o-lantern on the target and it creates a pentagram on the area of effect around it with 1 candle at each point. slowly lighting to show the time until bomb detonates. when the last candle ignites the jack-o-lantern explodes or lights up. -If he lands a second bomb on target triggering the stun then it automatically lights up the candles and the Jack-o-Lantern and the candles go out to show the indicated time until it explodes.

His (E) - To speed up an ally have a ghost or spiders on the ground behind them showing like they are running from it. Kinda like an old scooby doo cartoon style. Like Zombie brand run animation.

  • An enemy slowed by the ability could have the same thing but in front of them like taunting them. could even be like spooky nocturne scaring them.

His (R) - As the ult is cast show like bandages swirling around the person in question and if they die it looks like a mummy being resurrected.

His Passive - Could just be a greenish recolor to look spooky like.

I would gladly drop 15-20 bucks on this skin. But all in all i just want the next zil skin to be good. Not just some crap valentines day skin or chroma. I have faith that riot will give him a good skin this was just in my head thats all.

What yall think?

I too main Zilean. (1.1mil over here.) I am aware his new skin is promised to be released this year and I'm hoping after almost 5 years it's been since Bloodmoon that we wont get a joke or holiday skin. He honestly needs an ultimate skin or something serious and godlike. All his other skins feel janky and clunky. Bloodmoon is the only polished one, aside from Time Machine but who really uses that one? I'm hoping, praying that they aren't going to release another Christmas theme'd or winter theme'd, or just holiday in general. I hope to see something new, something brilliant and un-expected. Something to pacify the long wait. Eye candy. Zilean has so much potential and it's a shame that one of League's most interesting champions is seemingly permabackburnered.
