Next ultimate skin concept/prediction (maybe?)

So now we have Pulsefire Ezreal as a marksman, Spirit Guard Udyr as a jungler, DJ Sona as a support and Elementalist Lux as a midlaner, which means the next ultimate skin will be for a toplaner.

Before wondering which champion would have it, I started to wonder in which way it could have an evolutive model. I immediately tought of a model swapping based on which character you're playing with, according to its lore, for example, if I play with a Demacian, the model can change to accord to the demacian style or if I play against a Demacian, the model can change for a noxian style. That way we'll have:

Demacian Style: Light gold, blue and clear colors with light effects, similar to Garen's or Xin Zhao's outfit.

Noxan Style: Black, red and dark colors with dark efffects, similar to Darius's or Katarina's outfit.

Freljordan Style: Dark grey, white and cold colors with icy effect, similar to Sejuani's and Braum's outfit.

Shuriman Style: Gold, red and desert-like colors with sand/rock effect, similar to Azir's or Sivir's outfit.

Piltover Style: Hextech/steampunk style with hextech effects, similar to Caitlin's and Jayce's outfit.

Zaun Style: Punk style mixed with techmaturgy, similar to Ekko' and Viktor's outfit.

Bilgewater Style: pirate/sea-related style, with gunpowder effects,similar to Gangplank's and Illaoi's outfit.

Shadow Isles Style: Dark blue black and turquoise with a lot of floating rags with black mist effects, similar to Karthus's and Kalista's outfit.

Void Style: Purple with bolts and void-like stuff with void effect, similar to Malzahard's and Kassadin's outfit.

Yordle Style: Transforms into a yordle. (Yeah I don't have too much idea)

Targonian Style, Ionian Style: I don't really have any idea for these :/

Kumungu Style (?): Since rengar, Zyra, Nidalee (and probably Gnar) lives there, why not some sort of hunting/tribal/prehistorical outfit?

That way, we have 12 different forms that can each have a different effect.

Now the question is on which champ could these forms occur. My first choice goes to Riven, accorsing to its lore she is independent, she could be some sort of mercenary that could help people to forgive what she had done. Also the effects I listed might look good on her. My second choice is Jax, kind of for the same reasons but also because beside him and Riven I see nobody that could fit the role and the model changing concept.

What do you think about it?

Sorry for the boringness of this text, I did it on phone and consequently don't really have the right tools to make a proper discussion. ^_^'

Feel free to comment, give your advice, I would like as much feedback as possible.

See you on the rift!

It's a pretty interesting and neat idea. Could possibly work, but I don't really knows how that will work with Riven though. Her abilities are kind of lame when it comes to effect. The same with Jax.

But on the other hand, if Jax gets an VU that I hope and think he will get some day. He could have potential, but if those effect are getting as lame as they are now, it wont work.

Anyways, the idea and concept is cool. But I don't know about the possible champion :D

There will be another epic/legendary skin for champ that already have tons of skins and that champion is girl, and for whom it is easy to make particles. I think it will be lulu, miss fortune, or maybe even riven or irelia. I hate these champsa ctually, but just writing sad true fact they RIOT is sticking with popular champs.

It would be epic to have nice skin for Yorick, Azir, Gangplank...

Top laner, you say? Ez, the new ultimate skin has to be for this guy:

Kled

I present you: Beasttamer Kled. Every time he mounts, he is riding another creature (of course there is a pool of creatures, like 10 different which rotate or just randomly change). All his animations change dependant on the creature he is riding, too. Maybe he could reach a point in the game, where he will mount an epic creature. Like if he is slaying a dragon, the next mount will be a wyrm.

Possible examples: Brustle (Bristle's lost younger brother) Grimp (imagine riding a frog and Kled's Q is the tongue) Raptor (these op chickens!)

If he is dismounted, he isn't calling for Skaarl all the time, but actually asking for assistance by all creatures. If he is mounted, he has quotes fitting to what he is riding at the moment.

its actually an interesting question. by now we have some information to narrow it down a little, if riot is actually going by the pattern of giving an ultimate skin for every position.

the champions most likely to receive an ultimate skin in 2017 are:

  • long established characters. up to season 1, or season 2 release champions most likely. (ezreal, udyr, sona and lux all fall into this pattern)

  • iconic and popular characters to this game (its one of the reasons they chose lux this time, and noteworthy)

  • top lane focused champions

  • champions who dont have a lot of high quality skins with changed particles. (people werent very happy with the skins lux had besides her release skins and star guardian)

for the love of god. just dont let it be fucking teemo.


narrows it down to

Chogath DrMundo Gangplank Jax Kayle Malphite Nasus Singed Sion Ryze Teemo (godno) Tryndamere

Garen Irelia Kennen Mordekaiser (hes back to solo lanes) Olaf Pantheon Poppy Trundle XinZhao Shen Swain Maokai Riven Renekton Yorick Rumble Vladimir

Darius Fiora Jayce


now lets take the following champions out of that list

  • every champion who already has a legendary skin
  • every mage (since lux got the last one) with the exception of Swain who is a very strong contender due to riot promising to make and release dragon master swain already for years. its actually the most likely one since it takes so much time to develop even though the concept is already fleshed out. the fact that they want to make it for so long, but didnt yet, is a strong hint that they upgraded him from legendary to ultimate.
  • every ranged champion, since 3/4 ultimate skins already went to ranged champions.

this leaves

DrMundo Gangplank Jax Malphite Singed Garen Irelia Olaf Pantheon XinZhao Shen Poppy Maokai Riven Renekton Rumble Fiora Trundle Tryndamere (he has a legendary, but he shares his name with the riot games CEO) Mordekaiser (has been taking a lot of shit, so they might be throwing his mains a bone) Yorick (has a decent chance since there is a lot of potential for animations and models with his ghouls) Swain (dragon master swain)


if we rule out some of the champions that riot might not consider iconic or popular enough, this leaves us with.

DrMundo Gangplank Jax Malphite Singed Garen Irelia Olaf Pantheon XinZhao Shen Poppy Riven Fiora Tryndamere Swain
