Unearthed beautiful old zed skin concept

GG Bot Fed·Apr 12, 2015·30 votes·6,888 views

Ok, so with only one permanently available Zed skin, I think its about time for another, and I get it "But Zac deserves one first" and "Ew, I don't need more Zed in my games", but take a minute and look at that sick ass concept, as it is, the concept looks awesome, and with a bit of work, id be happy to buy it for 1,350 RP. So yea, take a look at the vid, and lets get Riot to see, and hopefully expand, on this idea.

(I didn't make the video, or the model, just think it looks epic and id totally like to see it in game)

He's even made you the loading screen if you made it legendary!

I think this would go great with the "Project:" theme of skins (currently only Yasuo). Project: Zed could be the beginning of a full line of Project: themed assassins. Project: Akali, Project: Diana, etc...

I'd say that zed is a prime candidate for a PROJECT: Zed Skin, having holographic clones, shurikens. Kinda adding some of the same elements of lighting here and there to create it. I'd for sure love to see him in a cyber ninja type skin, kinda like Gray Fox. :D

How about, yes

as much as i dislike the mecha and scifi themed stuff, this is pretty awesome

The only problem that I can see with the skin is the potential for confusion with his shadows as it's a black skin with (presumably) black shadows.

EmbertineApr 12, 20154 votes

Or maybe it could be contrasted so the shadows will appear as white ghostly ninjas? That would fix that problem.

Maybe make them look like holographic projections. It'd fit the theme of a robotic Zed and help with in game clarity.

Maybe not BRGHT orange, but i reckon white outline of the shadow, and it being projected from him would look so neat

Ok, scrap my suggestions, that'd be AWESOME and like likes branch off zed to the edge of the shadow, and they flicker out when it dissapears

Or have them casually glitch about like the Halo 4 Holograms do. IE: makes them so they slightly have lines and glitch back and forth to the sides on rows. Simple enought, right? (note i know how difficult that's going to be, obvious sarcasm aside)

I think the problem is more that his enemies could confuse him and his shadows.

It is easy to just ignore the black zed in the middle of a battle even if you know how the skin and the shadow of this skin look.

I think the safest way would be to make the skin not black at all.

EmbertineApr 12, 20151 votes

My comment was that if zed is black, then his shadows can be white. That makes them contrast and you can easily see which one is fake.

GreenLoreApr 12, 20151 votes

The problem is that your enemies could still confuse them in the midst of battle.

I mean if you learn for years that the black zed is the shadow and then theres a skin that suddenly puts that on its head and the black one is the real one.Its the same reason why ahris orb is always blueish and green when her passive is up.

I would think that his shadows would be made of electricity so it would be white more than anything.

Exactly, but projected as holograms from his body, just subtly

I think add an orange streak on the blade, THEN make the shadows white, that would be SOO sick

well i never get confused when lucian is standing next to zed's shadows so i dont think there would be an issue...

AHHAHAHA, As above said, even though I don't think it'd be a problem, white shadows would look awesome

If the shadows were white that would be fantastic (and would add a really neat contrast!)

Agreed, although, the hologram idea (i saw it somewhere) would be great too, a mix, yes plz

SyphurApr 12, 20151 votes

If you added some orange glows to his real self you could just make the shadow an orange hologram.

Yea, I think adding an orange touch somewhere on there would look sick, just as a focal point, that removes possible confusion. Or as someone suggested, take the 1350 concept and change the shadow completely, as they said, maybe an electric theme

LankPantsApr 13, 20151 votes

I feel that if you were going to do an orange touch it would be better on Zed (Tron Style) than on his shadows. Otherwise his shadows would stand out far more than Zed himself.

full "gore" metal zed

Looks really cool. My criticism would be that there is a bit too much black in there. Not sure of the carbon patterns will be visible either in game. He'd need a few more cosmetic additions to bring out the Mecha feel as well.

A bit of colour and some big changes to the shadow feel would top it off, i think orange blade for a start

zed can have another skin after he gets a meaningful nerf

Mooing KevApr 13, 20151 votes

Project/mecha zed, justicar/arclight zed, headhunter/bloodmoon zed, forsaken/demonblade zed. Any of these would be fine. Plus : http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/hvIlmOig-bounty-hunter-vayne-concepts I think this is a great concept riot should really use and should be adapted to assassin or hunter type champs.
