Xerath skins proposals, and about VS event
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
