Riot wouldn't publish a skin like this, right?
Just wondering because I think this is a great skin idea however I feel due to copyright this wouldn't be publishable, that is correct though, right?

Haha, well we couldn't have it looking so much like things in the Mario Universe - Nintendo wouldn't be too happy with us! That doesn't mean we wouldn't consider something like an 8-bit arcade Zyra skin inspired by Mario!
If they were to make the skin exactly like this, yeah there would be issues. Riot couldn't do it just willy nilly and the legal red tape would be murder, I think, to get it into the game otherwise. That said, they could do an interpretation on that, making an obvious nod/reference to other things while still keeping it original. Look at Augmented Singed, for example. He's a VERY clear reference to Bane from the Batman, but he's also still recognizable as Singed. There's also enough different there to make it obvious that while the skin is a nod to the character, it's not point for point ripping him off.
That's really the idea here, Make something that embraces to love and fantastic stuff that Nintendo has given us with Mario, while being original enough to be a thing that was clearly made for League.
This probs would get a lawsuit
Arcade Zyra? That could work.
THEN BRING KING RAMMUS BACK AND HAVE HIM SPIN ON HIS BELLY
Any News????? Still waiting for that skin!!
