She feels too similar to Elderwood Hecarim, if you get what I mean. All the Elderwood skins so far have had their own themes and colours; Bard has a blue cloak and a big red leaf beard; LeBlanc has the red hair, purplish wood and large green leaves; Hecarim has the woven wood, green leaf hair, green chest crystal, stone armour segments and wood horns. This is basically a bipedal Hecarim without the stone armour, looks-wise.

Artistically it's beautiful and basically official splash quality, but design-wise I feel like there's a lot of untapped potential. She needs something to make her unique compared to the other Elderwoods, like different colours or some unique shapes. Maybe some flowers in her hair that add a splash of colour, for instance.

I don't mind cohesive themes, the Battlecast line is my favourite after all, but so far each Elderwood skin has been very distinct and I hope they keep up with that.

I think some sort of spiky visuals would be necessary to look like Lissandra. While I can see how smooth, vine-themed Lissandra skin can be great, but I think it could cause some visual confusion. Perhaps mossy rocks?

Or change the color palette to more white and gray, and turn the trees and foliage to a dark brown and white. Shows an icy theme to the elder wood line and also matches lissandra's base theme well.

i get what htis guys is saying but to the maker i'd buy it like this too but im sure you can do even better and capture the essence of lissandra even more but this is awesome all the same

maybe like an autumn orange color to make her distinct

Geodude333Feb 28, 20172 votes

I really like the idea of Autumn being her thing. You could do like a frosty Winter Elderwood but it would be much cooler to vary up her personality to bring it up to standard with her other skins. All other cosmetics she has really change her style and this should match them.

her q throws a maple leaf, her w makes a whole brambles of maple leaves explode from her bush like feet and branches are used as the root effects e maybe like a throwing a seed pod and when its reactivated grows into a tree and shes transported there r would be her transfroming into a giant tree and the same effect for enemy

this will probably make canadian players very happy

WOW. I totally love the elderwood theme. One of the best skinlines, imo. And it fits Liss damn good.

I'd suggest a more wintery waesthetic. Blues, long, bare twigs. Snow, perhaps? Sort of the look of a tree in winter is really the idea I'm suggesting. Maybe taking consideration of connifer-like aesthetics. pine cones hanging off her hair or something of the sort.

Still, Elderwood Lissandra is still a neat concept though. I like the theme overall.

AlmightyFeb 28, 20173 votes

I love this idea. It has been a while since Lissandra has gotten a new skin.

But this skin needs to be legendary and have a new voice over. It wouldn't make sence for an elderwood themed skin to talk about ice.

The skin art is amazing but I do agree that it resembles hecarim a lot. To me all the elder wood skins resembled seasons, bard - fall (odd color leaves), hecarim - spring (very green vibrant colors full of life) and Leblanc - summer (the colors somehow reminded me of frogs? Usually o see them a lot during the summer especially during monsoon season) so lissandra would fit the winter elder wood theme extremely well! To make things more unique for her maybe add more Grey and snow. That color would resemble dead frozen trees with her hair being a bunch of dried out twigs and maybe add thorns into the roots.

Her Q could be a sharp coned piece of dead bark, Grey colored with twig vines around it and maybe thorns.

W: the area around her would be filled with frozen twigs and dried out vines could surround the enemies it hits.

E: the claw could be a claw of dead wood with very sharp looking fingers and leave snow on the ground.

R: it would entangle herself or her enemies in a bunch of vines and twigs and the area would be filled with dried out leaves falling off the vines.

That would be my 2 cents at least ^^ not really sure of the elder wood skins are based of seasons but I always felt that they were.

I thought this was the actual splash art, this artist is really talented.

CatastropFeb 28, 20172 votes

I love love love the tangling vines at her feet. I hope someone at Riot actually sees this and tosses the idea to the skins team.

Witcher 3 concept for Liss. Looks like a Leshen to me :D

TheEdgeOfDestinyMar 1, 20171 votes

You misspelled your sentence. You wanted to write "I play Witcher 3 so I intend to notice similarities in other media. There are some similarities in this concept with a character from Witcher 3."

ElikainMar 1, 20172 votes

Didn't misspell anything. That's exactly what i said.

Translation:

1."Reminds me of Leshens from Witcher 3". 2. "Looks like the inspiration comes from Witcher 3."

TheEdgeOfDestinyMar 1, 20171 votes

You don't understand how brain works.

ElikainMar 1, 20171 votes

Consider the following - someone is following me around downvoting me because i have an opinion about what does this Liss skin concept remind me of.

I couldn't care less. If you have a different opinion than mine, be my guest and express it. I am also not interested in how anyone chose to interpret my comments.

#P.S.

Misspelling =/= wording it differently.

TheEdgeOfDestinyMar 1, 20171 votes

People downwote your posts because you're trying to make subjective opinion look like objective. I wrote you why your comment is subjective. You are still trying to argue defending yourself for no real reason.

ElikainMar 1, 20173 votes

Looks like a Leshen to me :D

All 3 of my comments have any of the following sentences: "looks like", "reminds me of", "an opinion". All those words denote that i am speaking from a subjective point of view.

I don't have to defend my opinion because i never stated anything objectively. Whoever is downvoting me is doing so because they don't like it. And i honestly don't care about that, i was merely stating that fact.

push this awesome skin idea a lil bit more? what do u think?

This is actually an amazing idea for a Liss skin, it would work well with her kit thematically and it just looks stunning <3

I read this as "Elderwood Lies" and I was like... that makes no sense! are we having a new teaser and learn the Elderwood is actually evil?

I cannot make myself not see half Hecarim :D It's nice tho

DonatellaVersaceFeb 27, 20171 votes

As one of the riot staff said, each Elderwood Skin has a unique identity. And this concept, while most definitely fascinating, derives from Hecarim's Elderwood identity.
