Arcade Ekko and Boss Jhin

Athenes Lulu··25 votes·3,055 views

Since Ekko is very fitting to be the arcade midlaner, and Jhin the ADC boss, a skin for both of them would be really nice for the next arcade heroes/villains.

Boss Jhin: http://luicei375.deviantart.com/art/Skin-Concept-Boss-Jhin-609080395

Why Arcade Ekko? Because so far, for the arcade champs:

  • For existing roles: Support = Sona, Jungler = Hecarim, ADC = MF, Top = Riven. That leave us to the midlaner.
  • For existing genres: Sona = music/dance, Hecarim = racing, MF = shooter, Riven = fighter games. That leave us the platformer or the RPG, which is a very popular gaming genre. Ekko can be from both platformer (since he's so mobile) as well as RPG (since he gives us the "main character boy" kind of vibe).
  • 3 females, 1 male, so the 5th arcade being a male makes sense.
  • Veigar is not an arcade HERO, he is an arcade BOSS. So in the end we are still short on an arcade (hero) midlaner.

For Jhin it's a little more obvious since he is one of the only ADCs that give us the "bad guy" kind of vibe. Though I left out what kind of boss Jhin should be because there are too many good adjectives.

Both pictures done by me. If anyone noticed the hidden references I snuck in, I'll give you some points.

I really like the ideas of these skins! Just don't forget that there is already an Arcade themed mid laner who is also male and on the evil side.

The thing is he is a boss and not an arcade hero. And already 2 arcade-themed supports, one boss and the other an arcade hero.

So if we're going to have a 5th arcade hero he's most likely going to be a midlaner.

I really like these! The ideas are really cool. and I totally want Jhin to have a skin with a fancy hat with a really really big feather.

i've had an idea for arcade baron ekko as the leader of arcade skins as then both leaders would be mid laners and ekko fits the theme perfectly

I really like your Ekko design. I noticed the power glove and he looks a bit like Ness. He really does give a vibe of being the main protagonist.

It's 1 role for each skin. Since it's 5v5 Riven is top, Mf adc, Hec jg, Sona support. The set needs a mid laner so ekko would be perfect.

The final boss midlaner. It's 5v5 on the skins

As one who has all the appropriate skins for Hecarim Blitzcrank MissFortune Riven Sona Veigar, I approve of these skins. (Even just got Jhin via a Hextech Chest!)

I think jhin would represent a Bullet Hell Boss.

That jhin skin looks more musketeer-ish

I pictured the "Boss Jhin" with a hat originally, but the hat is completely optional :)

I thought not adding the hat would be a little too "revealing", and that it might look too much like his original skin. Though without the hat it's just a floating mask to keep the "boss" feel.

There's one massive glaring problem with this. You say arcade needs a mid laner. Yet you didn't list one. Or was Riven the mid laner?

Ekko can be a toplaner and even jungler so it doesn't really matter that much tbh :^)

Ekko can midlane.

IGotScuttleCrabs1 votes

Clearly. He was designed to be midland. Hence the /s

stealthfox941 votes

I have no idea what /s means lol

IGotScuttleCrabs1 votes

Oh. That might explain it. It means end sarcasm. "/" is used in programming for end and the "s" is short hand and a reference to a lot of programming things. Like to bold something you'd: <b>this would be a "bolded" sentence</b>

I'd get that Arcade Ekko skin in a heartbeat or after I buy more RP

I'm loving the Jhin skin ideas that have been coming up. He does need some tweaking as someone said, he does look more musketeer than a video game boss. Love the mask choice though. Only other ADC I can see being the Boss skins is Jinx, but Jhin would be lovely to see as well.

And if Ekko could be the midlaner, I think I'd have a reason to purchase and learn him (that's how I usually buy champs lol). Love the power glove, it's so bad! Only nitpick is that he needs a change dispenser, other than that, love both ideas. Keep it up dude.

Arent Aracade Skins for champions that kinda have the same ult radius? (kinda) I mean imagine them all ulting together. They'd combo really nicely. MF and Riven: both cones (damage) Sona and Hecarim: Rectangular-ish (damage/cc)
