Create Your Own Skin For RP - Recoloring Idea

Unfortunate Game·Mar 24, 2016·1 votes·572 views

You guys should add a method for us to create our own skin. Now let me rephrase it, by create i mean recolor.

So you would take a champion (or a skin of a champion) and the major parts of it would be highlighted with coloring options. You could choose from 10-20 different colors (all visible to eye), and lets give an example. Ahri ~ You can recolor her tail, top, skirt, hair, hair, and shoes. Or you can choose to leave it the same, and only change 1 of those.

I think this would be a neat way for us in the community to make our own skins, and every week you can host the "best" skins that weve voted and everyone can purchase.

Could be from 490-1350 rp to do this. (This idea is very similar if not the same thing to chroma skins, just custom to our choosing.)

Just a thought, let me know what you guys think?

Imagine how much of a bitch it would be to download all of the assets for that though. League would get a couple gigabytes larger from that alone.

I mean im not saying to make it completely detailed, just a simple recoloring (very very similar to chroma skins, just our choosing of colors.)

the thing is, the chroma skins are the same for everyone and are downloaded onto the game. Having ever single player create their own unique skin for so many champs would take so much work and i feel like the game would not be able to handle all of that and stroke

its an interesting idea but idk how they'd do it

Throw this at the Riot software engineers and say, "you have a month to do this." ;D

I get what youre saying but its hard for me to explain it because I hardly understand it myself, but personally I dont think itd be that of a file as its not new animations, gfx, etc.

But my history in coding is unrelated to league so you may be right, but i dont know.

Not necessarily. I'm remembering StarCraft 1 sprites, all of which used shades of Purple instead of the team color. That way they didn't have 8 copies of the same images, but only one that was recolored probably while the game loaded. A similar technique could be used to mark what areas get colored the same, and have each computer rebuild the skin on the loading screen.

And before anyone says "my computer couldn't handle that!", a computer which couldn't do that can't play League.

This is only one aspect of implementing such a system. I like the idea, but it just doesn't seem feasible right now with everything else Riot is doing.
