As the king of first blood, Talon deserves a Legendary skin [[Talon skin concept]]

For anyone who missed it, Riot released a first blood statistics showing in details who are the champs most responsible for the first kill in the game

Here's the link for anyone interested in reading it [again]": https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/page/first-blood-stats-behind-slaughter

That was the last year, but not after the Runes changes if that still applies, as a lot of champs got their early damage buffed. Anyway. I think Talon deserves a Legendary skin for being the Firstblood king, and since it's been quite a while since Riot released a skin of that skinline, he should get a_ [[ Sandstorm ]] _skin.

For once I would like to play with Talon without him having to wear those blades on his back or even hold a huge blade in front of him, and to give him a traditional Shuriman dress befitting of the in real life Middle Easter culture.

Think of something similar to Sandstorm Ekko.

I don't have any designed skin to show what the end result of the skin might be, but I can suggest few things that would make the skin [[thematically]] look good.

  1. Give him a traditional Shuriman/ [[IRL middle eastern]] Assassin's robe that fits the desert theme.

  2. Make Talon hold a Shuriman dagger, something smaller than his ingame large blade, and let him hold it slightly close to his waist in a backward position Or behind his back Example: https://www.google.com.lb/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2F58%2F90%2F9a%2F58909a9d781bd778c6f4079d1a0aedbf.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F483925922431265811%2F&docid=1A0n80ZNtaMBEM&tbnid=3pMApn4ZTwXuKM%3A&vet=10ahUKEwj22vPAq63aAhWD7BQKHQEqD-oQMwibASgBMAE..i&w=922&h=670&bih=637&biw=1366&q=Arabian%20assassin&ved=0ahUKEwj22vPAq63aAhWD7BQKHQEqD-oQMwibASgBMAE&iact=mrc&uact=8

And

Put in mind these are examples of how he will be holding his weapon which means his walking/wall jumping animation will slightly change.

  1. change his [Q] animation. Talon ingame dashes forward with the blade infront of him, as if the blade is directing him.

Change: Give him a tucked in knees jump with both hands holding the dagger to stab his enemy Would look like something similar to https://youtu.be/RjQ6ZtyXoA0?t=1m7s

  1. Different spell particles [[smaller daggers instead of the large shurikens + sand particles upon jumping and landing]]

  2. New [Q] crit animation, examples: [[use both hands to stab an enemy / if stabbing from behind let him grab the enemy and stab him with the other hand (with quick animation)]]

I'm not good when it comes to creating themes as art and suggest it, but I'm sure this is achievable.

Suggestions please.

I sent a Ask Riot question the other day about last years first blood statistics. I think it'd be cool to see them come back.

Not just a legendary, but an ultimate... I dunno.

Totally agree. Talon deserves an Ultimate skin or AT LEAST a good legendary.
