He would be the empire state building and his ghouls would be taxis. The name New Yorick is a must.

Alright, ass hole, not only is this an American developed game but we already have precedents set for nation-oriented skins/champions.

Perhaps you are forgetting Union Jack Fiddlesticks (UK/Commonwealth), Vancouver Amumu (Canada), Ahri/KPop-Ahri (S. Korea), Red Baron Corki (Germany), Heimerdinger (Germany/Ashkenazim), Amumu/Pharaoh-Amumu (Egypt), Azir (Egypt), Nasus (Egypt), Renekton (Egypt), Xerath (Egypt), Nottingham Ezreal (UK), Shamrock Malphite (Ireland), Pantheon/Perseus-Pantheon (Greece), Olaf (Norway, Denmark), Bear Cavalry Sejuani (Russia), Baron Von Veigar (Germany), Highland Tryndamere (UK), Xin Zhao (China), Lee Sin (China), Sona (China), Wukong (China), Shen (China), Zed (China), Yasuo (Japan), Karma (India), Dragonblade Riven (China), Warring Kingdoms Tryndamere (China), Warring Kingdoms Nidalee (China), Warring Kingdoms Katarina (China)... Getting tired of listing these but there are lots more... The entire Blood Moon skin line (China), Firecracker Jinx (China), Panda Annie (China), Jade Fang Cassiopeia (China), Guqin Sona (China), etc. etc. etc.

The number of Chinese themed champions/skins hugely outnumbers those that are specifically American despite where this game was established... Also, the American themed skins tend to be very old and somewhat low quality (Statue of Karthus, Uncle Ryze, Cowgirl Miss Fortune). A new U.S. themed skin would not be unreasonable at all.

Y'know, we have a fuckton of Chinese skins come to think of it. They're awesome, but they seem to dramatically outnumber not only American skins, but skins from literally every other region by themselves.

Would like more national diversity please :\

To be fair to China, there's a ton you can do with Chinese cultural themes and designs. Comes with being one of the biggest cultures in the world and all that, but yeah, it would be nice to see more cultural diversity.

They use Asian inspired skins alot because it is an extremely rich culture and usually appreciated by all America on the other hand... you don't see them do any Muslim skins either for a reason... Plus let's put it this way, me taking a picture of an interesting place or person is cool, me taking a picture of myself... is considered stupid and self centered

You mean Arabic themed skins? Like Sultan Tryndamere, Sandstorm Ekko/Katarina, Perhaps we're forgetting Djinn Malzahar too? There isn't a whole lot you can do with poofy pants and turbans. I mean, you can try but sooner or later it gets pretty old.

I mean those black turbants they use nowadays in women and such, not classic cool about people anciente arabic, I meant full on modern muslim

Black turbins and burkas....That doesn't make for a very exciting skin. Besides, if it did happen there'd probably be some huge freakout from religious extremists.

Slap a burka on any champion and now you have no idea who they are. That could be Katarina, Akali, Leblanc, Talon, who fucking knows.

Exactly, back lash is the main reason wy they don't even consider doing it No one backlashes about Chinese new year skins Or Blood Moon Skins Or egyptian/arabic inspired skins

But murican skins, as you can see from some of the comments in this very conversation, some people feel like thats stronking your own D since the game is made in america And they are kinda correct, as I said before, taking a picture of stuff or other people is normal and possibly cool, taking a picture of yourself is considered self centered and stupid

No, I really don't think that's the case. When it comes down to it, there isn't much you can say about American culture. There are quite a few Old West themed skins out there, even a minutement skin. But other than that, America doesn't have a whole lot of iconic culture.

There are cowboys, and that's pretty much it. Everything about our culture is borrowed, the supposive "Melting Pot" of America, which really just turns into a chopped salad.

Aside from small references here and there, you can't do a whole lot. It's way easier to give everyone chinese Imperial style skins, with exotic looking patterns and gold red coloring, maybe even take it a step further and go Zodiac style. But Murica skins exist.

I would argue that any Wild West inspired skin would be american.

But, again, you can't do a whole let when Muslim culture dictates women should be covered, and all men should wear turbins. It's way easier to make a pop culture inspired skin.

Djinn Malzahar (Arabian culture) Leprechaun Veigar (Ireland) All the pirate skins (Somalia) jk, jk, jk I kid!

Hmmm, so, why are you playing on NA again? Oh right, because this game was made in America.

Why are you able to play this game? Because the U.S., with a good deal of help from the other Allied nations, pimp-slapped Nazi Germany.

If you don't care about America, consider what the world would be like without it.

Yeah, other countries matter too. Not saying they don't. I'm just saying America matters as much as any other countries.

Well, technically he appears to be playing on EUW, so.. Don't ask me why he's on these boards. I legitimately don't know why some people cross boards-regions, but I suppose that's business that shall remain anonymous to me.

Photos of GhostsSep 11, 20152 votes

People can only cross boards towards NA cause the NA boards are intended to have the double function of being dedicated to NA events and problems and being a general hub to communicate with Riot and start initiatives.

It's not like New York City is one of the biggest and most influential cities in the entire world, up there with Tokyo, London, Beijing, Singapore, Moscow, Paris...

The thing is, there isn't a Yorick-related pun for those other cities.

I dont like america but i would buy this skin emediately, then again ... if riot plans to do a total rework of yorick maybe now because they are going to murder one of my favorite champs again.

I say arcade Yorick, when uses his abilities he spawns those pacman ghosts and his shovel could be in a form of pixelated strawberry or cherry. I also like your idea.
