Victorious 2017 guesstimation

So since the championship ashe skin was revealed, it won't be long before the victorious 2017 skin is announced. Lets take a look at all the previous victorious skins.

-Victorious j4 -Victorious Janna -Victorious Elise -Victorious Morgana -Victorious Sivir -Victorious Maokai

From this information we can predict who the next skin will be. We know it can't be a tank or an adc...at least no one in their right mind would choose that.

Morgana on the other hand can be looked at in two ways. As a support or as a midlaner mage. Today morgana is viewed more as a support than anything. So I think it's logical to deduct that it will be a midlaner champ.

Midlaners consist of two major groups - the mages and the assassins.

Typical midlaner mages who are possible options for this year are- -Syndra -Orianna -Lux -Brand (at least that is what I always see xD)

Typical midlaner assassins who are possible options are- -Yasuo -LeBlanc -Fizz -Akali -Katarina -Ekko (no zed does not count cuz he already has a championship skin)

Now here is when the thinking part comes in. I only think it is logical that riot won't give too much love to a certain champion in a season (unless considering their track record LOL). When I say this I mean in regards to their number of skins and how recent they have gotten one.

Syndra just got a skin for skt and is about to get another in the upcoming patch. I don't think she deserves it in regards to her constant skin making. But I think riot favors her too much. She would make a nice victorious look but its too fizzy.

Orianna is another option. She has been played a lot this season and is also a favored champion. She wouldn't make a good victorious skin look in my eyes. I mean, she's a robot! Thats like having a victorious blitzcrank. Also she has received darkstar skin relatively recently. But she is picked A TON.

Brand and Katarina in my eyes haven't been picked as much as the others in pro play (i think). Ekko is also a good choice for victorious, but he still just got a skt skin. Lux got an elementalist skin which is a biggee, but she would make AN EXCELLENT look.

Akali and Yasuo haven't been picked as much (I think) even though they are secretly broken. Yasuo also just received that nightbringer skin thing.

Fizz and LeBlanc are weird. Fizz isn't the #1 person to go to for a victorious skin, even ghough he is a good assassin. LeBlanc is an iffy one. She has been troublesome in terms of "balance" (in other words, too powerful for people who know how to use her and useless to the average joe). She definitely has the looks for victorious, but I think her balance stuff is holding her back some.

So tell me what you think of this and who will get the skin this year!

EDIT: after being yelled at, leblanc has a greater chance of getting it since she was used a ton during solo queue, relevan't midlaner and very competitive. not to mention being banned a ton.

Victorious lulu or taliyah... maybe.

B+ choices on my end. But maybe accurate.

I believe Ahri could also be a candidate for a Victorious Skin. She got often picked/banned before she got nerfed (iirc she still has a high pickrate).

But iirc Morgana was considered as a midlaner in S5 - not a Support. If that's right, it might be a Support this year who get a Victorious Skin. I think it'll be Lulu.

Singed: Because he saw play, and likely wont for another 6 years.

Uuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh someone tell faker AP MID Soraka i need my, VICTORIOUS Soraka skin, even though she JUST got that SUPPA HAWT Star Guardian skin (I STILL NEED VICTORIOUS Soraka! But Syndra /Orianna good picks too. Wouldn't be surprised to see Victorious KogMaw either or even the Victorious Corki .

BUT IT SHOULD BE VICTORIOUS Soraka!

I just assumed the next victorious skin would be a support since Morgana was viewed as a mid laner when she got one and Janna received one in season 2 (5 seasons ago). This lines up well since last season Maokai got a victorious skin (top laner) and season 1 J4 got one (Was played top then). 5 seasons difference.

There is also the possibility of two victorious skins since now there are 2 rank queues.
