Who will the last Arcade skin go to? THEORY

As we all know, there is one arcade skin left(not talking about the evil ones, the good guy ones). I am here to theorize about which champion will get the last arcade skin.

For a recap, here are the champions that have an Arcade skin: Riven Hecarim MissFortune Sona

So, lets clarify what role is missing. We can rule out ADC. As we all know, MF is an adc. We can also rule out support, because Sona is a support. Top and jungle are left. THis might be tricky depending on what role you assign each champion. Hecarim can be played both top and jungle. But riven is really only viable in the top lane. So, with all this evidence, we can ASSUME, that the last champion will be a Mid laner.

Now, what champion is it gonna be you might be asking me? Well there is a very interesting way we can find this out. And its based on the characteristics of these champions.

"What could that be?" you may be asking. Well I want you to look at each champions ultimate and tell me whats so similar about them. If you said that they are all wombo combo orriented, DING DING!!! YOU WIN!!

Lets look at each champions ultimate. Each of them are straight line based. Sona has a straight line stun, Hecarim has a straight line fear(sort of), Riven has a straight line execute, and Miss fortune has a straight line/cone Damage Over Time.

So, we can safely assume, that the last champion will be WOMBO COMBO oriented.

Now I will list champions that are Mid laners, and have wombo combo oriented ultimates. Annie Anivia Brand Cassiopeia Ekko Galio Lux Lissandra Orianna Viktor Vladimir Velkoz Katarina

Ok, now any of these champions could be viable, but we are gonna rule some out, based on how well they will work with the skin and how recent there previous skin was. Here are the champs I am ruling out. Annie Brand Cassiopeia Orianna Galio Katarina Vladimir

Annie, Orianna, Vlad and Brand, have really good skins, and have recently gotten skins. Galio is a little too ugly for a good skin, plus his skills don't match the theme of an arcade skin. Katarina doesnt have too many particle effects to have a good skin Cassiopea isnt too viable in the meta, so I doubt she will get the skin.

So. I'm gonna stop the bullshiting. Here are my 3 picks.

Lux Lissandra Velkoz

Lux and Vel,Koz both have huge straight line ultimates, that will work well with the other champions. Lissandra doesnt have a straight line ultimate, BUT she hasn't gotten a skin recently, and she does have a wombo combo ultimate.

Thats about it. My main pick would have to be Vel Koz, but if any 3 of these champs get Arcade skins, you heard it here first! What do you all think?

I'd actually suggest that Ekko and Katarina are both great candidates for a skin.

Ekko fits nicely into an AoE team comp, and is full of awesome particle effects you could use.

Katarina has particles on three of her abilities, a blink that could easily be given a unique graphic, and a great opportunity to use video-game sound cues to let her know when she has refreshed her abilities.

...Wait, why do we know that there's only one arcade skin left? I'd be surprised if it wasn't an ongoing skin line...

I doubt it be Lux because it might clash with star guardian in that it might both be pink, my money would be on Viktor, DDR c'mon now.

Also don't forget the complimentary line to the Arcade skins is the Boss line, which currently includes Veigar and Blitzcrank. I would much rather see Viktor thrown into this line, and have an Arcade skin for Fiddlesticks or Heimerdinger.
