Riot games, consider making a new Ryze skin to commemorate the "runes reforged" update

Events of note are often commemorated, and the Runes Reforged update is one of the most game changing (literally) updates in some time. I propose that Riot makes a skin to commemorate this event that fits the theme of "runes reforged," specifically, a new is would fit well because Ryze is a "rune mage" and "runes reforged" goes well with that thematically. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Riot is already planning this. But, assuming that they aren't, here are some ideas. This new skin could be named "Ryze, the Reforged Rune Mage" or maybe "Ryze, the Mage of Reforged Runes" (i prefer the latter.) Possible changes to Ryze's appearance could be different rune tattoos/ markings on his skin, different rune colors, and possibly a different skin color (but only if the new skin color would compliment the new tattoo/marking's color.) I think it would be especially neat if some of the actual runes from the new "runes reforged" were among the runes on Ryze's skin. After all, what better way to make a "Ryze, the Mage of Reforged Runes" than by actually having him have those runes on his skin? For a preview of what these runes look like, follow the link above.

What are your thoughts? Like or dislike? And do you have any ideas that could be incorporated into the making of such a skin for Ryze, such as a name for the skin or its appearance? If you like the idea, lets do what we can to make this skin a reality through popular demand!

Happy days to you all!

You're thinking too small.

In lore, there's something known as the "Rune Wars". Why not make it an event?

Skin Sales: Rune Wars Renekton Earthrune Skarner Runeborn Xerath Runeguard Volibear (Add some new ones)

Featured Game Mode: Allow multiple rune pages to be used at once

Wow, I think you are right, I WAS thinking too small!! (Although I think that a new ryze skin still is a good idea) I think the idea of an event that commemorates "runes reforged" is an even better idea! I am not so sure about the "allow multiple rune pages to be used at once" idea, but something like that wold be neat. Maybe the event would involve everyone getting to use ALL of the new runes at once instead of some of them? Keep suggesting ideas! Happy days!

Nah, I think Riot is just going to remake him again...

Elementalist Ryze? Like Runescape...............

I know I'm a sad human being for mentioning that, but the four elements for runes would be cool. Even if it is out of place on Ryze.

Runeshifter Ryze Runecrafter Ryze Ryze Reforged (kind of like Young Ryze now, but different) Risen Ryze Runestorm Ryze

Just coming up with good sounding names, but you get the idea.

I don't like the idea of an elementalist Ryze, but I LOVE your idea for Runcrafter Ryze and Ryze Reforged. The first could represent Ryze in a potential future where he has mastered the use of Runes (even the worldrunes that he has been protecting) and can even craft his own worldrunes (he would be kind of like Godfist Lee Sin, both have transcended mortality.) The second idea (Ryze Reforged) could involve Ryze reforging HIMSELF by reforging his runes, becoming a being like Xerath, (an entity made of energy, surrounded by runes floating around him like xerath's sarcophagus.)
