(This skin is called Halloween Syndra initially by CMorilla (the artist) however I think Day of The Dead fits the theme better).

EDIT: (Due to changes I and pretty much everyone else would want for this skin idea, let's name it Halloween Syndra (as originally called), change the skulls to pumpkins, preferably white, maybe with a Day of The Dead theme (does that make sense?), and keep everything else.)

So... lately I've been thinking about how our latest Syndra skin, when it came out, was generally received very negatively, because nobody suggested Atlantean Syndra and it made many of us feel Riot wasn't listening and put out something very cheap, not something that made us go "Wow!"

Now I've been looking lately at Syndra skin ideas and felt many of them were cool, but weren't going to have anything to make them a legendary skin which I think would be nice for Syndra and actually excite the crowd.

And here we have a skin that I think could actually be a legendary skin considering I have this idea of the skulls actually talking to you and reacting to what you do, perhaps they could be a little bit on the obnoxious side with what I have in mind, but that can always change.

Anyways, I thought perhaps if you miss Q the skull can say "You missed!" and if you hit it the skull can say "That must've hurt... not!"

If you miss W the skull can say "All that to nearly crack him in half?!" and if you hit it the skull can say "Haha! Dunked!"

If you miss E the skull can say "That was a journey, too bad it leaded to nowhere!" and if you hit it the skull can say "Whoosh! He's like the wind, in your face!"

And finally if you hit R the skull can say (one of them acting as a leader) "Let's go boys!" and if you miss R the skull can say "Ow ow ow! How could you waste all of this power? You fool."

Now of course hearing these quotes literally every single time you cast a spell would be obnoxious so there could be a probability placed in where no quote will be spoken or a quote can't be spoken in a certain timeline considering with the CDR you would get on Syndra the quotes would probably overlap, which brings me to pointing out how if you were to cast several spells at once in a certain timeline no quote would be said or only the quote of the last spell you used would be said based on if your spells are up or not just to make sure the player doesn't use a spell, making a quote overlap another, plus for an example if you were using an ultimate combo and everything else was on cooldown and you used your ult then the quote would go off.

Perhaps there could be maybe parts where the skull is laughing hysterically or only laughing once so it isn't just silence considering a laugh would be a very short amount of time and probably wouldn't overlap with other quotes that the skull is saying, also maybe the skull could say "Ow!" because I'd think getting smashed into the ground would hurt.

Anyways, I'm sure this is a pretty complicated idea, but hopefully you guys can understand and see my idea fully so we could perhaps discuss it.

Also maybe some changes to Syndra's outfit, considering it is very bland and Day of The Dead is usually colorful so matching that would be better, plus some makeup for Syndra so she looks like she's part of Day of The Dead, overall, this is just an idea that I saw that created another huge idea in my head so I decided to make a thread about it, I'll love to hear your guys opinions on this, and hopefully we can talk about it.

Skulls would have to be something else because China has a thing against them. Riot tries to make their game accessible for all countries after all.

So what makes this day of the dead is that she has sugar skulls instead of orbs?

That's kind of it from this design that I can see.

Her out fit does not read day of the dead or Dia De Los Muertos at alllllll

No cultural influences at all other than sugar skulls.

Needs more work or people might get offended by the lack of reverence to a traditional Mexican holiday.

Who complained about Atlantean Syndra? I bought Syndra and started playing her just because of that skin. It's amazing.

Bump, put an edit at the start of the idea.

it's so annoying how we can't have skulls in this game because of some other countries rules that we don't even give a shit about...

this is such an awesome skin idea too, it's too bad we can't have it because of some stupid foreign country rules against skull/skeletons in a game lmao.

I LOVE the outfit, it will be a lot better with some more colour, but what a perfect skin idea! I've always been fascinated by DOTD after doing a school project on it.

I actually would love to see a better rendering of this with the face paint/makeup and see how it fits and then chances are I would definately get this skin

Chinese don't like skulls and skeletons so that pretty much kills this skin dead (pun intended). Looks nice though.

Great idea. I don't even own Syndra, but would love to see it in action. Unfortunately, as stated above you can't use the skulls. Would be a great idea if it weren't for society's taboos.

So... we can't use skulls, how about pumpkins then? But rather than orange, white pumpkins, with intricate designs like on the skulls, which would also make these quotes fit better because pumpkins can totally be goofy and crazy as we have seen in many shows.
