WWII Azir Skin

I main Azir , with 300+ games this season. A fairly new champion to match a fairly new player, his 2 skin choices are insanely limited. Azir is an emporer and deserves more choices! So, why not create a sort of Pulsefire Ezreal package for Azir?

WITH HIS VERY OWN WWII SKIN PACKAGE! German or American Officer themed, this package can include new voice overs, animations, a new Sun Disc, and best of all-- uniforms for the soldiers, to look like enlisted men from WWII! It would be a great fit for him!

Maybe not a Legendary skin, but it would be nice. Maybe a 975 or 1350 skin. +1

Maybe a Patton model for USA and a Himmler model for Germany?

No Zac has 1 skin soon to be 2, also that's not fair to every other country that had an impact in WW2 they should be included and would take to much time.

As German officers, they would be wearing Swasticas, which Riot probably considers a no-no. Take the swastica bands and they're not recognizable as German soldiers. Even if you leave the band and remove the swastica, everybody knows what's missing in that circle. There were also other countries involved in WWII, it would be almost offensively ignorant to make only American and German ones.

I think it would be more culturally sensitive to just make an American themed Azir skin. He is a bird after all.

I'm pretty sure the German player base would be pretty pissed at their cultural representation is of the Nazi's. There may even be some laws against it.

I would think that instead of a swastika, they could use the iron cross, representative of the Weimar Republic from WWI, so as to avoid offense, as most German WWII games do

Oh, I like that! Maybe they load muskets when they are idle, or something. In order for the skin to work, it has to have a unique feature, and the Sun Disc and soldiers are two areas to capitalize on that.

I would prefer the Spartan Azir skin then a WW2 skin for him lol

But the fact of the matter is, it wouldn't be offensive to make a skin that pays tribute to the event. It's not like Rito would be supporting Nazisim, or neglecting any non American contribution. WWII is the go-to war for tactical command, and it fits Azir well. Any connotation, good or ill, of the war is not to be overlooked, rather acknowledged, and not incorporated into the video game.

If not WWII, then Roman legionaries, or something.

You're welcome! Be sure to give this a tweet if you could! I really want to make this skin a reality
