Xerath Battle Boss skin?

I absolutely LOVE all the arcade skins, but I think that the Battle Boss ones are by far the coolest- maybe it's a nostalgia blast back to the late 90's/early 2000's, but every time I see and hear the 8-bit effects it makes me soooo happy (and also make me want to rip open my wallet and buy all of them lol).

Here's a couple of concept ideas that I think would be amazing for Xerath:

Give him a vibrant purple theme with maybe some menacing red/ruby highlights by his arms and throughout the exposed, energetic part of his body.

Q- straightforward, pixilated shot that's mostly a deep purple color, with the 0s and 1s wrapped around it like Malzahar's E has.

W- summon the same darkened, pixilated area underneath the spell, and instead of having it be a pillar, change it to a purple lightning bolt that strikes the target location.

E- Perhaps similar so Veigars Battle Boss ulti in appearance- upon stunning, you could have little duckies/birds circling the victim's head during the duration of the stun.

R- Just like the proposed W, the skillshots would have the pixilated holes just before the shot drops, with the skillshots themselves being a purple blast with 0s and 1s that splash away from the impact zone. When the circle expands from Xerath, a menacing 8-bit sound effect would play, maybe similar to a Bowser fight from the original Mario game.

Since I love Xerath and play him a lot, I'd love to see something like this but I think that there are for sure other good candidates for battle boss skins- Kayn, Urgot (8-bit shotgun knees anyone?), Rek'sai, or Morgana would also be extremely cool.

Tell me what you think, or propose any other champions!

AurelionSol Chogath DrMundo Fiddlesticks Ornn TahmKench Urgot: Current wishlist for boss skins, I guess Xerath is due for a skin too, though, but a lot of other champs could benefit from skins rn.
