Riot is like "We usually find good ideas for other champions, but right now we can't really think of anything good for Zac", "Essentially, we made a champion us as a company cannot realistically expand on, so what we're going to do is give every other champion skins until the community does our job for us because 99% of our ideas are from other gaming companies".

Here Riot, here's a list of skin ideas for Zac. He's literally liquid, there's so many fundamental skin ideas for liquid it's not even funny.

Snowman Zac Pool-party Zac Paint-splatter Zac Muddy Zac Lava Zac

I mean seriously anything that can drip and splatter is a Zac skin.

That's not quite the issue. :]

The larger issue we run into is his animations, and the tech that would likely need to be created to make it happen.

For example, if he's no longer goo, and let's say, water, Snowman Zac, like you'd suggested, we'd likely want him to move a bit differently than goo.

Many have suggested a Gentleman Zac skin, and I think it'd be adorable, however, since he stretches, it becomes fairly difficult to give him clothing that won't look crazy or, well, bad, for lack of a better term.

These aren't excuses, but merely the kinds of things we discuss and figure out solutions to so we can come out with a really cool Zac skin that's more than him in another color.

As I"ve said before have him absorb/inject something that make a suit like appearance on his goo. In that way you set the expectation that it isn't a suit but goo made to look like a suit. Maybe tie it into his lore that his creator, who took on the parent role, wanted him to be able to change his appearance so he didn't feel so much like a weapon.

Give him a tuxedo that is sleeveless, maybe? Full on Larry The Cable Guy style :D

Yeah, Pool Party Zac wont really have an issue with his graphics. All you gotta do is change is color, make it look liquid y, and put some floaties and goggles on. This is a really good skin idea, and I would think riot wouldn't have a problem making the skin.

Pool Party Zac? Yeah, I think it's one of my favorite ideas for him.

so as for the gentleman zac skin idea all you would need to do is design a splash with jinx painting a tuxedo on zac. that then gives you more room to work as well as applying the properties of paint to zac. so that when he's small the tux is fine but when he gets past a set hp/size the tux takes on the properties of paint and starts to show cracks in it as it expands. for the goo that zac drops you can leave it the same. as zac would want to keep his core section were the paint is from cracking. this will also give him the look like he's much more scary when he's full hp. you could give him a top hat, but then you would need to give the top hat its own animation model as well as its sitting position on zac's head. small zac hat covers his head. medium zac, hat fits fine. big zac hat is to small. what I have just said is still a lot of work especially if riot (which I know they do) wants to make it look good.

Can you guys do Space Jam Zac?? I seriously think a basketball skin would be cool for him, but I bet it would be tough as hell to animate. Or what about something like Locust Swarm Zac? :P anyway, good luck making whatever skin may be down the line

Actually he still needs the abbility to retain and morph his basic shape, so no matter which material, he will always be somewhat gooey.

You guys act like it's changing the very concept of his particles. We're not making a Ultimate skin for him here, Riot. It's literally make his skin a different color. Do exactly what you did with his other skin but make it a different color, or add a suit on him.

I'm not sure you will see this, but hopefully it will help I am just going to help you with my idea of the Gentelmen Zac Idea and his Animations.

  • His Passive- (I am assuming he has some sort of clothing or a suit) Zac drops little sections of his Suit.
  • His Q- HE extends his arms as far as his coat can allow, and further flings his cane.
  • His W- You see buttons fly off of his coat everywhere, and he gets fat temporarily.
  • His E- He Uses his cane almost as a launcher, pushing it into the ground, and slingshots himself using it
  • His R- He basically Pogos on his own cane

Also, an idea that I had with this, as opposed to a cane, it is a pogo stick, and he is now, Kid Zac, with those whirly bird hat things.

He just explained that it isn't as simple as you think. For pool party Zac, his texture and animation would need to be modified to resemble a much looser liquid than goo(or gel...I have no idea what Zac is made of). They would want to make the skin look as good as possible. You wouldn't want water that is sticky and bouncy would you(though that would be fun to play with)?

They would change the texture and make it look watery instead of gooey. And it would be cool to add floaties and the goggles. Also, the background looks nice.

You people act like you have sat down and done 14 layers to animate a single figure in a single motion just to get the coloring right. "his rig is too complicated" its a fucking re color and some floaties on his arms" It's just a fucking hassle is more like it.

Its not a rig at all. The graphics would look completely different, and it would be a hard working skin for riot.

Super Buu, from Dragon Ball !!! Please Riot I know this have been asked a million times, but PLEASE!! You guys got Gurren Lagann for Rumble, you can do this for Zac as well, I believe!

I personal like this Idea for a Zac Skin.

http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/WB7adxuk-skin-suit-up-zac

For some reason I dont approve it. It would be very hard because of his abilities. Like, his slingshot for example how the heck would they make the graphics with that while hes wearing a suit? Honestly, I think the pool party is better.

Boulderox1 votes

i still think having him in a suit and then rip off the arms on spawn/recall to make him go from gentleman to battle ready seems viable to save his q animations, and his bloblets can drop from his opened arms, but the r is still a problem.
