Xerath skins proposals, and about VS event

Predatorator··2 votes·1,737 views

So i think everyone knows about this years VS event. And as far as i know, nobody liked it. i don't neither. Because there were tons of rivalties more worthy than...cat vs dogs? For what are my interests, one could've been Xerath vs Azir. this one is well fleshed out, and it would've been a great opportunity to give, at least to Xerath (one of my mains), a legendary skin worthy of the almost 4 years of wait since the last skin. I mean, almost 4 years, the guy is not (and i don't think he will) in wait for any mayor gameplay update that could delay a skin developement, because of how healthy and balanced he is. Speaking of that, and seeing that Riot plans to give skins to less popular champions, here are some skins ideas for Xerath:

Dark Star Xerath: there's even a wonderful concept ( https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/JAgAUXGU-skin-idea-dark-star-xerath?show=flat ) made by SlownD. Dark themes suit xerath particulalry well, due to his personality and story, and shooting deep space energy would fit him like a ring;

Archlight Xerath: one of the most evil characters in LoL trying to redeem himself? White and gold armor, white particles and plummeting dark forces shooting blinding light arcanopulses, or purging them from the skies with celestial arcan barrages;

Harrowing/Haunted Xerath: i mean, his armor is a sarcophagus, just make it creepier with some dark material/monstrous insertions, slap some green/light blue spooky particles, let him unleash his spooky magic while ulting, et voilà, you just found a skin for the next harrowing!

Mecha/pulsefire Xerath: i just need a good mechanical/robotic alternative to Battlecast Xerath. Armor transforms as he casts his spells (to each spell his form) and returns normal after the cast: it'd be so cool to see him transforms while comboing. Orange/yellow particles, and you're good to go.

Void Xerath: this one may be a little bit trickier, but with the organic armor, and tendons or alikes keeping it in place, Xerath should still look quite Void-y while casting purple colored spells!

An ascended Xerath skin would be top of the top, however i don't have any solid concept to go from =/

Battleboss Xerath: like seriously, already playing against xerath feels like a boss battle, where you got to close on him dodging everything he throws at you. he was even the boss in ascension mode, how about that!

Also, i'd love if a skin could be made out of his concept art, those black and white particles are really nice: https://imgur.com/a/xHXJ3Es

Greetings

I totally agree with you, I main Xerath too, and come on... I prefer to use his default skin than using any of the others, even if I have them. It's been a while since they took his last skin and it's about time to make another instead of making more Lux and Star Guardian skins... I agree with the examples you said, a Dark Star or BattleBoss will be awesome to be honest. Also I think they should make again the ascension mode and yeah, make a god damn legendary skin or even an ultimate because he has a lot of potential to make one.

Well... it feels good to read posts like that, at least there still alive people that thinks in our husband Xerath. Have a great day!

Thank you so much!

Base skin is really nice, i tend to switch between that and GotS or scorched earth. To me it's a matter of the effort you put on those skins. GotS, his most recent skin, is nice and all, but looks pretty empty aside of the sound while charging the Q.

I also agree, is kind of disheartening to see the same 5 champions to get skins every 2 months or so. And we already know star guardian theme and xerath are not really related. This comes down to the fact that xerath is not really popular among riot, as far as i know.

i'd be happy with a good 1350 rp skin, but yeah, a legendary would be more worthy of 4 years wait. and about the ultimate, i think there's a large consensus that xerath should get one. also his lore is fitting, always craving for more power.

i really hope this gets popular, most people think you cannot make alot of skins out of xerath because of his model or popularity, but i think here we got lots of concepts to think of.

Incorrect. I've seen several people that like it. I for one welcome the change from having the same type every year

I admit that everyone is a bit of an exaggeration, but i'm saying this on the basis of what i'm reading on the boards. Also, i don't think dog vs cats would be more worthy than kha zix vs rengar, ornn vs volibear etc. Vs event should be about lore rivalries in lol, if you want a dog vs cat event, make a totally new one instead of It taking the place of the actual vs event

But the Darius vs Garen wasn't really a lore rivalry. It was more chosen as they are two of the more well known Juggernauts. So lore doesn't really dictate these much. It's why people wanted to see Katarina face Garen rather than Darius, then it'd be more towards lore.
