Time to Guess the Next Victorious Skin

Caretaker Jack··3 votes·14,047 views

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!

Nami already has an SKT T1 skin so I’m more worried about Soraka.

That doesn't disqualify Nami from getting a victorious skin any more than it disqualified Jarvan, Janna, or Elise... In my opinion, Nami has the best odds overall.

I know...I’m biased obviously as a Lulu main. [sg-lulu]

Lulu Please

Caretaker Jack2 votes

I wouldn't be surprised if she got it... Lulu has been hovering around the top 10 spot for a while now. The only thing standing in her way is Nami and (maybe) Soraka.

Sir Saltarin1 votes

She's invisible in the meta, doubt.

Caretaker Jack1 votes

Very true, but remember, Orianna was (and still is) practically invisible... It's only really based on a consistently good performance and weeded out by the other factors.

that would just be hilarious

victorious Draven is such low hanging fruit

Caretaker Jack1 votes

ROFL. I can def agree with that.

Sir Saltarin2 votes

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

Galio SUP XD

Caretaker Jack1 votes

It's a good guess IMO... But remember, the victorious is something that has to be really _ really_ good. Galio is decent, but he isn't outperforming the champions above. (He still has a good chance tho.)

Sukishoo2 votes

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

KindredMind2 votes

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

Caretaker Jack1 votes

I'm thinking Nami, but Lulu's odds are pretty damn good... Sona's too.

TheSiIentMuse3 votes

I really hope its Sona . Shes my main. And my favorite character from anything ive ever played/read/watched. I love sona so much. And to have a victorious skin would make me completely okay about not having morganas or jannas victorious skins. (Wasnt on league when jannas came out, and the season where morgs came out was when i joined league.. but the season had JUST ended. (;-;) So no hope of getting it obviously. Morg sona janna zyra and rakan are my main sups. Speaking of, Zyra getting it would also make me happy as well. But my preferred choice is sona. Please Rito, make this sona lovers dream come true, and if not sona, then zyra, or any other support i love playing ;-; please, O dear, great, rito lord![sona-playing] 🙏🙇‍♀️🙇‍♂️

Sona is the prime candidate for me.

Caretaker Jack1 votes

Sona definitely deserves it... As a Bard main, it's definitely not likely to get it, but I always dream.

Squirlez2 votes

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

Oleandervine1 votes

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.

Caretaker Jack1 votes

In one of the "ask riot" post for details on victorious skins, they say that they begin development for the skin in spring. It is April. Which is spring, yes?

Sukishoo1 votes

No. They have always picked the Victorious champion skin by Spring, so that it can be ready when it's time for rewards in November. So it should be either already decided upon or pretty close as they will start working on various iterations of it for the next few months.

Caretaker Jack1 votes

So then you just agreed with my point. It is spring and it is in development... So then what's your drama?

Do you just think people shouldn't discuss things as Riot is making them? Cus if so my response is: "You need to chill with that." If you don't like a discussion. Don't participate.

Sukishoo1 votes

What are you going on about?

Mr Voidling1 votes

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

Sir Saltarin1 votes

No S6 Viktorious was something that I will never understand

I feel the same way about Bard. (cries)
