Zed skin idea

http://lh5.ggpht.com/-3S5YXotifa0/T1ufVMstCsI/AAAAAAAAAl8/zvCS08cJwOs/s640/105078_main.jpg I think that Rikimaru from Tenchu can fit Zed as possible look. Just imagine: All his skills will have black ink particles, his shurikens will fly as black ink discs, his clones will have black ink particles instead of shadows. http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130505224524/tenchu/images/d/dc/RikimaruRender.png http://wiimedia.ign.com/wii/image/article/917/917752/tenchu-4-art-of-the-ninja-20081008064104817_640w.jpg http://www.forumla.de/attachments/fun-spiele-raetsel/126070d1345113709-wer-gegen-wen-all-stars-tenchu_z_wallpaper_01_1280x1024.jpg If Shen got MK reference (Yellow Jacket Shen, Frozen Shen), then why not making another gaming reference for Zed? Actually, Noob Saibot can also fit Zed perfectly. http://global3.memecdn.com/noob-saibot_o_1204375.jpg http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110519123311/mk_/images/6/6b/Noobrendermk92.png https://st.fl.ru/users/Ma/Madio/upload/f_4f4214a27de8f.jpg

There's a ton of skin ideas that'd be nice. Both black skins and dragon slayer skins have some merit to them, it's mostly in execution. I mean, damn, if it was done right, you could probably sell Zed in pink, as long as the execution was right, and you could justify it for camouflage or something. I'm pretty sure Zed might appreciate 'cool' things like anyone else but his job foremost is an assassin, and that's practicality with functionality, not whether it looks cool or not.

I agree. Rikimaru from Tenchu is the way I actually see Zed without his helmet, I mean his possible look (yet he's still wearing the mask, so the whole picture isn't finished). His clothes also look very comfy, not restricting his fast movements and palette helps him to hide in the dark. Ink particles are just an adjustment which could make it more detailed (the closest example is Street Fighter 4 ink during special moves).

I´m sorry, but an ALL black skin idea sounds stupid. I mean, maybe it´s cool in an anime where it´s like, an ink person, or something. However, this is league, and there´s a certain expectation of what comes with a skin. Right now, this concept is pretty much ¨Drop RGB on skins to 0.¨ I would much rather see the time invested into something like dragon-slayer zed, where he gets fire on his abilities, some cool new armour, stuff like that.

Okay, let's just make tons of Popstar skins then. So legit. And.. Dragonslayer Zed? Seriosly? Ninja-Dragonslayer? Most stupid idea ever.

First of all, there's no need to be so rude or else you're that word you called me. Second - your "Dragonslayer-Ninja" is way more anime than this. Yes, you are right. Let's delete Nocturne then.

Iros A Mierda2 votes

Nocturne´s a ghost, with colours on him, not a solid black character. Go look again, there´s purple, black, red, and gray. Second, have you SEEN dragon-slayer pantheon in game? You think this poor excuse for a skin is gonna sell with that in the game? Or shock-blade zed, which is the same thing only with visibility because it´s grayish-white? I mean even in your original statement it already sounds dumb. ¨...his clones will have black ink particles instead of shadows.¨ Right, so, his shadows are going for being black shadows, to... black ink shadows? There´s 0 diversity in this skin concept. http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131030151711/leagueoflegends/images/thumb/a/a2/Nocturne_OriginalSkin_old2.jpg/800px-Nocturne_OriginalSkin_old2.jpg Now look at Nocturne, and your pictures. http://www.leaguesplash.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Nocturne-Classic.jpg More nocturne, in-case you wanted the updated version. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-8llMbeahtzk/U1hE-tRF4nI/AAAAAAAAIwM/1uQOYka0a-c/s1921/dragonslayer-pantheon-lol-hd-1920x1080.jpg Now the dragon-slayer skin, and back to your pictures. Do you see the lack of colour in them now? Stop being such an anime fan-boy.

Are you trying to insult me or something? First of all, it's not anime. Both Mortal Kombat and Tenchu are games. Games. If anything which doesn't look like Call of Duty to you is an anime - then you are ill. Or you are just that young that you haven't experienced these legendary titles. Once again, black ninja - is classic. If you are telling me that Dragonslayer-Ninja is way more realistic than black colored ninja with dark ink particles (which represent his dark nature in game) - then you need a doctor. End of conversation.

Do you even know what a ninja IS? A ninja is the term used to describe the ancient farmers of Japan and China who were abused by the lords of their respective nations, these farmers would disguise themselves and lead raids on the lords to protect the villagers. NOTE: DISGUISE, not full-black camo, DISGUISE. The only time anyone wears full-black is during a night attack. During the day, it was extremely common for them to wear average villager clothing with weapons underneath, because lords would not expect it, (and league is during the day in-game). In-fact the pictures you linked are not even accurate to a ninja, ninjas do not use katanas, which were costly and only given to samurai. Anyone caught with a katana that was NOT a samurai or lord, was extremely punished for it. Furthermore, using a katana not given to you was considered extremely bad luck. As such, ninjas almost exclusively used weapons available to them from their farming jobs, such as sickles and knives. Most ninjas didn´t even USE weapons, they practiced martial arts so that if they needed to intervene, they were able to do so without being burdened by needing a weapon. That´s what a ninja is.

As for dragon-slayer armour, amour in Japan was commonly painted with depictions of demonic faces to inspire fear into the enemy. As such, having a dragon carved into your armour would not be far fetched.

(с)... WIKIPEDIA! Nobody takes you seriously. You can calm down and disagree with someone's opinion or idea. Not to call him "prick" as you did in deleted post or call somebody stupid. Now leave please :)

Iros A Mierda1 votes

Yes RIOT deleted my post because you apparently cannot grown adults pricks, and sure, I´ll leave, no point in arguing over a skin that´s never happening. Have a nice day with your ¨skin¨ idea.

Krizalid1 votes

If it's not happening (which is for sure), then why do you argue so much? Bye.
