Time to Guess the Next Victorious Skin

This is just a bit of fun speculation and my attempt to create a discussion. You should take this with a grain of salt, but I did this kind of thing last year and Orianna was one of my guesses. Finally, It's still just speculation. I'm not gonna act like I'm the absolute truth here. So take that as a disclaimer.

**What we Know: **

Now we already know that Riot, secretly, works on the victorious skin line at the start of spring. This means that they may have already decided on the contender and the design is currently in progress. As far as qualifications, we know that contenders with a conquer/ challenger/ championship skins are disqualified. We also know that they cannot have received a skin in 2019, cannot have a rework on the horizon, and have to already have a decent amount of skins.

Theory Stuff

There has been talk on how riot does things based on classes like fighter/ tanks/ support/ etc. However, the more popular opinion is that they do it based on the role you play. Both of these theories remain evident from the first 5 seasons and the respected trends show no sign of stopping after. From this, we can deduce that this year's victorious skin is likely going to be something connected to either ADC or support... However, it is also important that we cover the missing classes as well.

My Guesses 2019

Yasuo Nami Soraka Lulu Braum Sona

Honorable Mentions

Ezreal Bard Taric Jinx Draven Blitzcrank Lucian

Conclusion/ Reasoning

If the class theory IS true, Yasuo is the prime candidate for the victorious bot lane spot because Graves already filled the marksmen role. The supports listed with him have been top 10 in gold+ and consistently good through the years.

If the class theory ISN'T true, then I would say the honorable mentions are the best marksmen candidates (in no particular order). The supports listed with them have smaller play rates, but still, continue to do consistently well in ranked thanks to their dedicated player bases. Things like Pyke and Vayne were not included because they already received skins this year and stuff like Alistar and Kaisa are already in line for the for the World Championship Skins from 2018.

Anyways, These are pretty much my guesses. What are yours? What did you think? Let's talk about this!

Being an ADC main I would love an ADC to get the victorious skin this year. Hopefully someone like Lucian would be pretty coolLucian

I hope it's Lulu just cause I love her. But it's probably Sona

Sona is the prime candidate for me.

My guess is that majority of the Midlane roster is cancelled since Ori was last, Jng same with Graves so I think that:

Last Toplane was Mao but maybe it's another toplane skin, candidates imo: Urgot Sion Yorick

Last ADC was Sivir so maybe it's this one, candidates imo: Jinx Lucian Ezreal

And the role that I think will get the Victorious skin the most this year is Supp, candidates imo: Braum Morgana

I still wait for the day when they finally choose a Victorious Assassin, but didn't happen last year when they had some great candidates for it, so, I will continue to dream xD

It's a bit early to be speculating on this. They have typically tried to pick someone who's been consistent in the entire ranked year.

Viktor Deserves a Viktorious skin, and I won't rest until he gets it.
