Home Run, everybody! Today, I am here to tell you my skin concepts for Caitlyn Caitlyn , Garen Garen , and Pantheon Pantheon. Sadly, I have no concept art. I'm not that good at photoshop. :)

These skins were designed to leave small bits of smoke particles behind them as they move, and if any of their abilities uses fire.

PLEASE! Upvote this post if you want these skins to come into play! (pun not intended). I have spent a long time developing this concept and writing and formatting this post took me an hour and a half, so please appreciate my work and help support it!

The Home Run skins are skins representing baseball (obviously), but also fire. Yes, you heard me, fire. I'm basically just talking about fiery baseballs at baseball bats. So, if you're ever wanting the swift crack of a baseball bat, then you will get satisfaction out of these skins. These skins are made to be 1350 or 1820, as they have different sounds, recall animations, and particles.


CAITLYN:

Design: Caitlyn will have on a baseball cap, and she will have a batting cage baseball launcher as her gun. She will be wearing a red jersey with the number 67, as she was the 67th champion released (you see what I did there?).

Auto Attacks: Simple baseballs with or without maybe a pitching sound effect? Not sure there.

Passive (Headshot): Every 8th autos, a fireball will be shot out of Caitlyn's gun.

Piltover Peacemaker (Q): Caitlyn leans down, channels, and fires a fiery baseball out of her gun. (Not sure what to put as this; hard to fit theme into, as it travels through enemies.)

Yordle Snap Trap (W): Caitlyn sets down a grey (normal) trap that has a small baseball glove in the middle.

90 Caliber Net (E): Caitlyn sends herself flying backwards sending a moderately sized baseball glove out of her gun, facing towards and slowing her target.

Ace in the Hole (R): Caitlyn's target is selected, with a pattern of glove, baseball, glove, baseball, circling around them, and a loud baseball bat crack sound effect sends a giant fiery baseball flying towards the target. Optional but very recommended if this skin ever sees it's glory: Change name of ability to "Base in the Hole" and add a fiery baseball to the ability's icon, as with Fiddlestick's Surprise Party skin and the changing of icons.

Recall Animation: Caitlyn notices her gun is not shooting, so she fiddles with it for a second, points it into the air, a baseball shoots out, but she is attached to it by a visible string. Her and the baseball fly up into the air, and drift back down to spawn.


GAREN:

Design: Garen's sword is turned into a baseball bat. Will change design throughout his ability use. Garen is wearing a baseball cap, as is Caitlyn, and also has a red jersey with the number 50, as he was the 50th champion released.

Auto Attacks: With his baseball bat, he will give a swift smack (with sound effect) to his target.

Decisive Strike (Q): Garen will activate the ability, his baseball bat will turn fiery and red, and he will gain a speed boost. When he hits an enemy, a small burst of fire will be the ending result.

Courage (W): When activated, the image of a baseball helmet will emanate from Garen. It will disappear after a second, as it is only a faint image, and a green aura will surround Garen until the duration is over.

Judgement (E): (This is where it gets cool) Garen will start to spin around, and as his baseball bat turns fiery, a swirl of fire will be the effects for the spinning.

Demacian Justice (R): Yeah, this was expected. Garen crushes his opponent with a big baseball bat. There. You happy? x)

Recall Animation: Garen slowly starts spinning around with a fiery baseball bat until he reaches the speed where he soars into the air and makes a tornado of fire. Just the thought of this sounds incredible, and would overjoy a TON of people, including me.


PANTHEON:

Design: Home Run Pantheon is designed to be a pitcher. He will also have a red jersey with the number 44 or 45 on it (please confirm wether Pantheon or Gragas came first, because they were released on the same date). For his shield, it would be a giant baseball base. (idea credit to Fut1leJudg3 in comments, couldn't think of it before) *This would most likely be a 1350 skin, as it changes a lot, but not nearly as much for the abilities as Home Run Caitlyn and Home Run Garen.

Spear Shot (Q): Pantheon will throw a baseball at his target, smashing into them. Seems simple enough.

Aegis of Zeonia (W): Pantheon smashes down on his target with his base, stunning them. Also seems simple enough.

Heartseeker Strike (E): Pantheon will do the same animation as the classic skin, but will use his fiery bat, which will have different sound effects and looks plain out epic.

Grand Skyfall (R): Pantheon leaps up into the air and crashes down on his selected area and the faint image of a baseball diamond glows on the ground and a crowd cheers as the sound effect.

Recall Animation: Pantheon is throwing up and down a baseball then winds up a big throw and throws the baseball all the way back to spawn. He will run off quickly after throwing it and fade off, and will return to base, fading in, running up, and catching the ball he just threw during his recall.


Well, everybody, I hope you have enjoyed my skin concepts for Home Run Caitlyn, Garen, and Pantheon. Riot, if you are reading this for some reason, thank you so much! Remember, if you want these skins to come into play, (heh) and like I said before, please upvote this post! Thank you for your time, and have a great day! :D

I really like your ideas! I have some ideas that go in hand with yours to better spruce up what your DRIVING home (please dont hurt me). Caitlyn instead of having a silver gun, she can use like a handheld Batting Cage Ball Launcher to shoot the baseballs. Garens Courage ability, instead of a helmet, could throw up the four baseball bases as if they enacted as shields around him. Pantheon could also use like a giant Base or like one of those Umpire mats as his shield. Other than those three visual ideas i think the rest of your post is spot on! Keep up the good work! ^_^

To be honest though, I think a ball launcher would suit Jinx's style more.
