Skin Idea List for Discussion. Brainstorm time!
Ok, so I was completely bored in my Technical Chemistry class with I started this post as well as having all these ideas bouncing around in my head for the last couple weeks so I figured I'd share it with my lovely League Community. ^_^ I will be listing off and discussing lots of ideas that I have floating around but ultimately I want your opinions on all of this. Maybe I may spark some art and fan-fiction ideas for you guys (your welcome lol). Hell, maybe some Riot heads will see this and be all like "well damn... why didn't we think of that?"
LETS BEGIN!
1) Doctor Who themed Skin(s) are Overdue!
Ok guys (and fellow Whovians ^_^), we all have seen how big the Doctor Who fandom community has become, especially with the latest season finally starting. The Doctor Who fandom has be around longer than Twilight and Hunger Games combined! So, I think its time for Riot to throw a bone to the fans of the League universe and those of the Whovian following. I mean, they made a nod to some cult classic movies, games, and even internet browsers. We got a Predator reference with Headhunter skins, Scion's voice is obviously Arrnie's, Full Metal Jayce is a male basically Sammus Aran, and Popstar Ahri? If that wasn't a nod to K-Pop idk what is.
Ok, now we have an obvious choice for the honor of playing the Doctor... Zilean!
Come on, you saw this coming. I mean really... Chronokeeper? Time Lord? DUH! XP
I think Heimerdinger
would be a good choice and even Orianna
as a Dalek or Cybamen.
2) MORE MOVIE THEMED SKINS!!! Please... ^_^"
Now I have a soft spot for 80's action flicks so bear with me if I seem a little biased in this section and I encourage you to add to these suggestions! We all have our favorite films and the protagonists that drive them or the enemies that make our spine crawl. I think this is an untapped goldmine for Riot. I would pay for skins of some of my favorite movie Icons. Hell, I bought Headhunter Rengar
as soon as I saw him! I couldn't pass up a reference to one of my favorite movies of all time, Predator. Here is where I came up with some interesting ideas.
A Xenomorph skin for Kha'Zix
(and possibly Cho'Gath) would be bad*** and really put Riot's art and animation teams to the test. A tribute to the Alien franchise would make many sci-fi fans crap their pants. lol
I want to hear Scion
mutter "I'll be back..." after he ganks top lane with his half exposed T-800 endoskeleton. It's Terminator guys... one of the biggest movie franchises of all time. How is this not a thing yet??? 0.o As a side thought, Vladimir
could pull off the T-1000 when he does his W and melts into a pool of liquid metal.
Now this is one I really want to see, mainly because of my love for the original movie. I think a skin set nodding to Judge Dredd would be all sorts of bad@$$ery that I can't even fathom. The design of the original armor in the first movie was really cool and would look awesome with certain champs. This one will have a big list...
Graves, Kayle, Vi, Caitlyn, Leona, Lucian, Garen, Gangplank, Victor, Riven, Olaf, and Pantheon to name some of the top of my head. If I had to pick a skin set for champs with one-per-role, I think my list would go: Judge Graves
(adc), Judge Braum
(support), Judge Kayle
(mid), Judge Vi
(jungle), and Judge Gangplank
(top). What do you think?
**3) ** Reverse Rival Skins
So we all know about our favorite League of Legends rivalries, Darius vs. Garen, and Zed vs. Shen are some well known examples. What if they were on opposite sides? Maybe some alternate universe stuff. Lets say if Garen
was born a Noxian, how would his armor look? How would his personality change? Same for Darius
. What would Darius be like if he was the Demacian posterboy?
4) Cross-Game Skins
This one is tricky but could turn out really cool depending on how the legal stuff work out but... I would love to see champions in League of Legends to have skins referencing big/popular gaming icons. Now I see one argument to this, if you want to play as that character, just go play that game. That's not the point. I just like the idea of Kratos or Master Chief in the League. By the way, I think Olaf
would play a mean Kratos. Also, I think that a Master Chief skin would look cool such as a Graves with power-armor or Talon
with the iconic energy sword. These are just a few examples.
5) Anime Themed Skins, cause... why the hell not? Yup... we had to reach this point eventually and this one is simple enough. I'm an anime fan... I would like to see some champ skins reflecting some of popular anime I have seen. Can you blame me? Some of the best shows ever were anime! Anyways, here are a few examples I thought up:
as Kenpachi (MY FAVORITE) from Bleach.
/
as Alucard and Seras Victoria from Hellsing.
as Col. Roy Mustang from FMA
as Saya from Blood+
as Alphonse Elric from FMA
Decent size list I know but I like my anime. ^_^
6) GNAR AND GIR FUSION! And last but not least... my little buddy, Gnar. Now GIR is one of my favorite cartoon characters ever. His goofiness leaves me in stiches and on the verge of tears, as does Gnar. I think a robot version of Gnar would be a awesome tribute to the GIR! "GNAR? What does the G stand for?... I DON'T KNOW...."
So that are my ideas that I have been floating around. What do you guys think?
