Azir and Xerath Pre-Ascended SKINS

I was thinking yesterday, that kassadin has its own pretty nice(for me) pre-void skin. It also kinda shows how was he looking before being the one with the void. I mean it would be really cool if azir and xerath had their own (maybe) legendaries that shows them before the ascension,nice splash art like they were friends before, standing by backs to each other OR splash where they are both receiving their power like void is consuming kassadin.

Xerath would move on his own (not just flying around) and cast just some maybe more fancy magic (ascension gives this blue coloured power? so with the skin he would cast purple for example). Ult would be different ofc,casting off his hands maybe.

Azir would be in some emperor armor (different that he got at the ascension,maybe bronze,older gold or just different), have his soldiers alive (didnt figure out how would people like to see and to be more realistic). He would be with his long hair and that face from the youtube video where he seems pretty cool.

If you wondering that - but azir cannot dash since he hasnt his ascended powers, so its unrealistic - kassadin teleports, has its blade and casts Q.

ALSO i appreciate every comment or idea you have to this topic.

Thanks for responds

Pre ascended azir could summon bone boys made of sand

While I love these concepts, I doubt they'd be used in the game for the sake of champion recognizability, since both of them would look almost entirely different. They could be shown, possibly, in other formats like comics, cinematics, Legends of Runeterra, etc.

For azir perhaps. But for xer it would break his silhouette.. unless you had him floating around as a human with a cloak wrapped around him? I think xer has a lot of easy and good ideas they'd rather do first. Like cosmic (purple black with stars like other dark star), wraith (Some sort of ghostly idea like Senna E maybe)

I'd sure like to know what or who Aatrox used to be, or at least they could give him a Pre-Darkin Ascended/God-Warrior skin.

I think they'd be too unrecognizable. In-game, players still need to be able to look at Xerath and instantly know "yup, that's Xerath."

Wow so azir Died unascended I thought He was in the process and the focus got shifted so while he got ascended Xerath also got Acended and Xerath was drawing most of the power to himself which was why azir fell into unconciousness.

I missunderstood that badly

Interesting idea, but in the lore neither Azir, nor Xerath have any magic powers before becoming Ascended. They're just 2 normal dudes with no real fighting ability.

Hopefully at some point we have a Shurima event and we get skins like this. Pre-void Kassadin can still teleport and has his blade so I think there is some creative leeway when it comes to this idea. The only issue I can see is the silhouette argument, but in the case of Nasus and Renekton you can just give them ornate armor with crocodile and dog characteristics and that might be enough.

Another idea is having the skins evolve over the course of the game. In the case of Nasus he can start off as his simple human form, maybe just traditional attire, a green dog eared hood or something, then gradually gets more ornate armor like he's going through his journey of prominence until ascension. Then at level 16/18 he can ascend to his true Nasus form in a Kayle-like fashion.

Just spit-balling ideas but I'm sure people would love Pre-X skins and hopefully Riot takes notice.
