Blood-moon Kennen

Blood-moon Kennen
  1. I have been searching the web for some Kennen skin ideas because I adore this champion, and was blown away by this Blood Moon skin, made by Akiman. It brings out the theme of an assassin, just like a ninja. This is what the skin looks like. (by the way, the link will bring you to a site with loads of league of legend skin ideas. Enjoy!) Zielmann gave me another blood moon skin for kennen, which I think looks ridiculous. Anyway, some people said that there should be red lightning sparks instead of blue ones, which I agree with since it fits with the blood moon theme. Lots of people wanted to change the mask. I think the mask is fine because it looks really cool! However, there are already 5 blood moon skins and 3 of those champions do not fit the theme of a ninja, such as thresh, kalista, and elise. If it is possible, riot could delete 2 blood moon skins and replace them with a Kennen blood moon skin and a Zed blood moon skin because they're both ninjas. This is just my opinion about the whole situation. Thats about it I can say until other people add more comments at the bottom. Thank you!

There's already 5 blood moon skins, I don't think they'd make a 6th to continue a completed set.

But Kennen should have had one all along. He was part of the trio of ninjas that was released (nearly) one after another back in 2010. Then Shen and Akali got their Blood Moon skins in mid-2011, and Kennen was completely skipped over for some reason. It always felt like it was supposed to be a ninja thing. It could have been a 3-piece set and felt complete. Heck, they could have added a Blood Moon Zed after his release, so the skins were still a ninja thing. Thematically it would make more sense.

But now, 3.5 years later, they're going to fill it out as a 5-piece set without a skin for Kennen. Worse, it doesn't make any kind of thematic sense why Kalista, Elise, or Thresh would get them. Only reason they're doing it that way is so there's a Blood Moon skin for each role (so you could have a theoretical Blood Moon team).

This whole thing is really an older argument, more about why Kennen never had one to begin with, when Shen and Akali got theirs.

^^^Assassin Thresh CONFIRMED^^^

Oh god. The last thing we need is Thresh picking up ninja skills.

what about assassin Shen?

Shen was never very good at being subtle...

Shen got a blood moon skin. Don't worry :D

Kennen

Agreed, it always seemed odd to me as to why Kennen never received a Blood Moon skin yet; despite his two other fellow members of the Kinkou Order did for all these years.

Here's hoping for a Blood Moon Kennen in the near future. He could really use a new skin with new animations! Also I think the mask looks quite nice in the intro post design. It gives Kennen a rather "fox"-like appearance, which fits with his cunning and speedy kit (additionally, it is said that he is a prankster in his lore - would be nice to show that off more).

Heck, even neon coloured electricity (ie of light blue and pinkish-red) would be a very nice effect for Kennen if this skin does come to fruition.

Also the 5 champions being the limit for a skin-line doesn't seem true to me. If a champion has a good concept for a skin-line, I think they're definitely viable for a new skin. Kennen and Diana are two champs I hope for a Blood Moon design in the future.

Is there a rule that there can only be a maximum of 5 in a skin line?The battlecast skin line has more than 5.

YES!!!

I like the idea, but I don't like this splash art. The face is kinda weird. Anyway, I've been hoping for a Blood Moon Kennen or Diana for a while. I agree about him deserving one considering Shen and Akali have one. This would make more sense than Thresh, Elise and Kalista getting them, especially since they're from the Shadow Isles and not connected to the Blood Moon festival in Ionia.

Zielmann1 votes

Have you seen this version? I think it's a bit better.

Not OP Mack1 votes

i don't know. The face is kinda weird and it doesn't have an assassin/ninja like theme in it. The version I found had black color clothes like a ninja/assassin instead of a robe. Also, the feet in yours looked like pig feet. Not only that but the daggers looked really boring and doesn't fit the theme. It doesn't have a blood moon feel to it. But could be a possibility.

Zielmann1 votes

Yeah, the feet are a little odd. But I find the concept as a whole to feel a little more fitting to both the character and the theme. I think you could take bits and pieces from the two of these and have something solid.

I really like the design, but the mask just feels off compared to the other Bloodmoon masks. The kneepads and fan-daggers are fantastic touches though.

It feels more like masked Shaco than a blood moon skin IMO. Maybe if the lightning was red and he had different knives, it would be more in line with the blood moon theme.

Not OP Mack1 votes

kennen actually had ninja stars, not knives. These fans-like daggers have the shape of a ninja star. So I think his weapons are fine. I do agree with you on the red lightning though. I think the mask is fine because it looks cool. I don't think that mask looks anything like shaco's.

udyr should've gotten a blood moon skin...born under a blood moon and all that

Not OP Mack1 votes

Agree. Shen, akali, kennen, zed, and udyr. Would be amazing blood moon team.

Not OP Mack1 votes

can riot delete a blood moon skin from the 3 champions that aren't ninjas? (thresh, elise, kalista)

Kal Vas Flam1 votes

I agree Kennen needs a skin but none of the blood noon skins appeal to me. Would be better than nothing I guess.
