The Next Ultimate Skin

Misplaced Faith·11/19/2017, 2:57:29 PM·3 votes·925 views

Currently, we have four ultimate skins in the game, each one applying to a character that fills a different role. Spirit Guard Udyr for Jungle, Elementalist Lux for Mid, Pulsefire Ezreal for ADC, and DJ Sona for Support. Top lane, however, is left out of this equation. So, that means we've got at least one more Ultimate skin to look out for; But who is it going to go to, and what will it be?

In honesty, I've thought more about this than I probably should. But, you guys know Poppy's new bio, right? She's searching for the hero who can wield the hammer that she fights with, unaware that she herself is most likely that hero. A lot of her voice lines revolve around finding this hero, wondering what they're like, and mostly just who they are. But, like I said, Poppy is most likely, if not definitely, that hero. So, why not making the next ultimate skin hers?

It'd be a bit like Spirit Guard, in a sense, where she realizes her full potential and then takes complete control over what she and the hammer can do. Since the base color scheme of the hammers abilities is of yellow-goldish hue, then maybe they'd be bright yellow, closer to white with this True Hero skin, or whatever you'd call it. Her animations could be smoother, though more over-the-top because "realized potential". I don't know exactly how to look at her appearance, due to Ultimate skins changing as much as they do, so that's up for interpretation.

I just think it's a really cool idea, seeing as there's an empty space for an Ultimate skin for a top laner. I'm just not very creative when it comes to these skin ideas, but the community for this game is great. Maybe some of you guys can think up a look better than I could,

I think I heard people talking about a ultimate Cho skin, with how his ult could change his appearance as his size grows

The thought you put into the idea is really creative! I definitely like the idea of an ultimate Poppy skin, but for one issue. Poppy's whole character revolves around her obliviousness, and if she were to realize her 'true potential' it might not feel like the same overly-modest Poppy we know!

Shen. Just Shen. No fucking Yordles. Fuck Yordles. Don't actually, because Yordles are gross. Shen needs the Ultimate.

Jax would be cool too, his ult animations could become different every time he levels it up, weapon can change from like lamppost to a mace for example throughout the leveling up, like he gets a "real weapon", or we could choose what his weapon can be from the start or make some minigame like Elementalist Lux.
