I know we just got one over the last few months and I know it does take awhile to make a regular skin, and there're epic skin and Legendary, which take more time and work to make them extra special. But my friends and I can't help but wonder what the next ultimate skin will be.

We can already make some educated guesses by the way Riot go about doing things.

  1. It's most likely going to be a Top Laner. Just because all the other roles have been fulfilled. Ezreal Sona Udyr and Lux Riot like to keep things "balance", so it would make sense to give a Top Laner an ultimate skin. So you can have a full team.

  2. It's going to be an older champ. Now I'm just guessing, I have no idea. My only reasoning is what Riot they said about the Hextech Skins, that they gave skin to champs who already have a lot of skins so when you get it's worth something to you ( beside the cash you drop for it lol).

  3. It come down to concept. At the end of the cycle, it's going to come down if the idea is grand enough to make into an ultimate skin. All the ultimate skins are very different and work in there own way that set them apart from any other skins even other ultimate skins. Yea there one common mechanics of transformation with each one but that about it (as far i can tell).

So, I was making this post to see if anybody had some ideas, theories or concepts about the next ultimate skin. Feel to tell I'm wrong and share your thoughts on who might get one and what there theme would be.

riot mainly releases skins by popularity, jax is by far the most popular top and he just got a new skin. Tbh the idea on the boards about him being able to choose different weapon visual build paths as an ult skin would have went perfect with him being most popular as well as them not having a top ult skin yet. Other strong contenders would be nasus who just got a new skin and also riven who got dawnbringer not too long ago but i wouldnt put it past riot to release something for her, additionally gangplank is a solid contender due to popularity as well as fiora due to her appeal to eastern audiences.. All of this is assuming your guess about it being a top is correct. I would not be surprised one bit if riot just went with popularity instead, Id guess that adc, then mid, then top, then jungle, then support is the most likely role.

Also, ele lux is in a completely higher class than the other ulti skins. Sona has a manual mechanic but its just music and some model color, i'd put her in second place. Ezereal is not significantly better than pf cait and yet she costs way less, he does what? grow a little as he levels...yawn. And then theres udyr whose ulti skin is is actually an epic skin (riot rlly needs to reclass it since it was made before ult skins were clearly differentiated from other skin classes)
