Ward skins (aswell as summoner icons) are extrmely great for customizing beyond just skins. There's SO much we can do with ward skins. There are literally countless things that can be done; hell, they can be anything. Plus, it makes people want to ward more. They don't even have to be league related. Here are some of my Ideas:

  • I'll be adding more, so keep an eye out. Feel free to suggest your own ideas, I'll add them to the list if they get upvoted. Also, the fx I come up with don't have to be added, it's more about the ward model :)

** Champion Inspired Wards: **

Leona Solari Ward item 3190 glows gold faintly for the duration of placement Lulu Cupcake Ward resembles the cupcake featured in Lulu's 'Bittersweet' skin Sona Music Note(s) Ward plays a short, soft melody when placed, or occasionally during duration of placement Orianna Ball Ward signifies a proud player of Orianna Zyra Plant Ward signifies a proud Zyra player; would be made visually different from Zyra's regular plants to avoid confusion Janna Tailwind Ward surely Summoner's Rift has bad weather too! Vayne Crossbow Ward signifying a proud Vayne player Elise Spiderling Ward for striking fear into the eyes of your enemies

Definitely agree that ward skins should expand a bit. What you've set up here seems like a good start :D

All I want is Karma's Mantle of Decorum (that thing floating behind her back) as a ward.
