EKKO SKIN CONCEPT (If you have an imagination it could be amazing!)

Péanut Butter··2 votes·1,066 views

TL;DR : MARTY MCFLY EKKO SKIN WITH FIRE TRAIL ON THE FLOOR AFTER HE ULTS

Well, even though i am not an Ekko player (come to think of it, I'm not even sure if i own him) I have had this idea since his release and I'd be very surprised if other people hadn't thought of something similar! My idea is for Ekko to have a skin modelled after Marty McFly from back to the future. He would wear a denim shirt and jeans with a red body warmer on, with shabby hair and white sneakers (google a picture of him, if you haven't seen the film and if you haven't seen the film i highly recommend watching it also!)

His Q: he could throw out a an electric guitar that spins as it travels His W: he just dashes as usual His E: he throws a clock up into the air at a target location and when it lands it creates a red circle on the ground His R (my favourite bit): Ekko Jumps on his skateboard and dashes back to where he was 4 seconds ago leaving, wait for it, FIRE TRAILS ON THE GROUND!

HIS RECALL CAN BE THE SAME AS IT IS BUT HE PLAYS 'AINT NOTHING BUT A HOUND DOG' (or something similar if copy write is an issue)

Ekko's cheekiness is something which makes him SOOO similar to Marty McFly and i really think Riot would be missing a trick with the whole time traveling thing if they passed up this opportunity! Ekko

Thanks for everything Riot, I know you get a lot of stick for A LOT of stuff but I know you care about the community :)

See you on the rift, BUTTHEAD! :)

though he isnt white, and doesnt look like him or have the same attitude it makes sense. lel

...I don't even know how to respond to this but I'll give it a shot: Who the hell cares if he isn't white? What's wrong with you? I'm sorry but since when did a character have to look like an actor to have a skin made for them? Same attitude? Like how Kennen has a Deadpool skin because he's so much like Deadpool? Or like how Rammus has a Bowser skin because he's so much like Bowser?

I like your attitude! ;)

Obviously i care if your making someone black into a white person - hence lucian's albino skin is horrid. im not racist (Nor should you think i am) Rammus - same exact looks as bowser (without the chroma pack basically). Ekko is actually smart - mcfly is a wild child -

I think you misunderstood: Who cares if he (Marty McFly) is white. The skin can work with Ekko's current appearance (ie black) because it's more about the costume he would wear, not what the colour of his skin is. But I do know what you mean. You're right, that Lucian skin is horrid.

Yes, Ekko is smart and Marty is a wild child. Kennen does not break the fourth wall and talk to himself. Rammus does not kidnap princesses and fight Italian plumbers. It's a SKIN. It's about appearance. They only add personality is select skins where it would suit eg Gentleman Cho'Gath.

So you want the skin to be cheap - what you sound like.

No? When did I say that? This would be 975-1350 depending on the effort. I don't know why this is so hard for you to get. You take Ekko. You put Marty McFly's outfit on him. You give him maybe a new recall animation. That's it. Give him a few lines if you want but you don't have to.

^High price skin not some shit skin.

...Then don't give him lines. This skin can still look good without any lines added to it.

then it shouldnt be a 1350 skin :D

Then it's a 975 skin. You're either an idiot or you're trolling at this point. You completely got off topic and now discussing price of a hypothetical skin and not even paying attention to the conversation. I'm done.

You are more off topic then me - You're an idiot or trolling, YOU said 975 or 1350 - you expected a shittty skin to be priced 1350 when you didnt give any features of a 1350 skin.

Lonely Flame1 votes

Ok so you're STILL not getting this, and I'm telling you now I'm using an incredible amount of effort hear not to abuse you, but I will try this one last time.

If you change JUST his overall appearance, its a 975 skin. You are changing his appearance, maybe the recall animation if you want, and particle and sound effects.

If you change his appearance AND give him lines, then it becomes a 1350 skin. You were going on and on before about how Ekko and Marty are not the same personality-wise, so I'm saying if you want to go that extra mile (which you don't have to but you can) then you give him lines. And not a lot, because typically 1350 skins add a voice filter rather than lines, but he doesn't need one in this case.

Do you get it now? Is that simple enough?

I think he has a similar persona, obviously he isn't white, and skins don't necessarily need to look exactly like the champion isn't that the point of them being skins and not just re-colours/chromas? lel

Also isnt Hound dog an elvis presley song - less related to mcfly then elvis.

But he doesn't go back to the future. He only goes back to the past. I get that they go bav k into the past in the movie but its called Back the Future which is something Ekko doesn't do.
