The Time For an Ultimate Skin is Upon Us

So, 2018 is almost upon us, and that means that it will most likely be the year we get our next ultimate skin, as there is usually 1-2 years in between them and the last one was November 2016. I thought it might be fun if a bunch of us people on the boards started theory crafting some ultimate (or legendary if you just want to get the idea out there) skin ideas just to pass the time until it's announced. I've got an idea I spent a bit of time theory crafting and I hope you all like it :)

Thunder God Kalista She is still blue but more of an electric, crackling blue, her hair is entirely made up of storm clouds, her spears are lightning bolts and she's in a greek toga. Her passive causes the ally she is bonded with to have electric particles on their own attacks as well as just passively around them, as well as thunder sounds every now and then. Additionally, instead of jumping back and forth in her hops, she shifts in a bolt of electricity and afterimages to the new location Her Q is just a giant lightning bolt Her W is a thundercloud that lights up and makes a whole bunch of thunder noises when enemies trip it Her E again just rips all of the lightning bolts free and sounds like thunder to all parties Her R is similar to normal but has an animation of the ally champion turning into lightning and being sucked into Kalista, and the reverse upon firing

Tell me how you like it :) I know alot of the effects are too wildly different and may impact game clarity so it might not be a great idea, but it looks really cool in my head. i'd really like to hear some of your own ideas as well.

I don't know if adding lightning effects on your teammate is a good idea. I think ultimate skins shouldn't affect allies. In general the skin idea is not bad, though.

But the next Ultimate skin should be a top laner, since it is the only position we don't have such a skin for. At least that is my opinion about it.


Now my own contribution: Urgot Inglorious Evolution Urgot

Urgot still looks mechanical, but with a bit more armor and his design is without many details, plain and simple.

However, whenever Urgot successfully shreds an enemy with his ult, he gets a token. A panel shows up which lets him chose between 5 options:

  • legs
  • armor
  • armcannon
  • mask (breather)
  • meatgrinder

(These options might change, not confident in these choices yet) Choosing one of these options will upgrade it and change its design. How the body part is going to look like in the end depends on the faction the enemy champion belonged to (shown in the token).

Basically, the thematic would be that Urgot is taking trophies from his enemy to enhance his own body with it, just like he stole his Chemtech augmentations from other people to strengthen his body.

You killed Renekton and upgrade your armor? Congrats, you got a Shuriman golden plate armor! Did you shred Nautilus to pieces to get some new shiny legs? Here they are, pirate cannon legs!

Additionally, there would be some special hidden design cases. For example: killing Kassadin and replacing your mask with the token will give you his breather (including sounds!). Killing Heimerdinger and upgrading the legs will change the design to look similar like his turrets.

This skin would give alot of customization options and they are changing every game, depending on the enemy champion choices!

I think it fits him well. He would look like random patchwork, but he is all about strength. He wouldn't care if the pieces don't fit together, as long as it makes him stronger. And these trophies show his strength to everyone encountering him.

I dunno about an ultimate skin but I had an idea for a legendary:

Commando Shaco He is a soldier for this skin, same camo/sunglasses motif they have for the others His Q has him using his camo to blend in with the surroundings, I dont really know how you might portray this differently than his regular animation His W is a little landmine that pops up into a little mini soldier on a spring that fires an ak-47 at the target His E is a standard issue tactical knife being thrown His R whenever it spawns says "Reporting for duty SIR"
