"Full Build" Variant Skinline For Classic Skins

So, now that variant skins are a thing, even though I'm pretty sure none of us really wanted them, we might as well work with it. My idea is simple; variant skins for a champions classic skin that display them having full build.

Let's use Janna for example. In her Full Build variant, instead of just wielding her normal staff, she'd have Ardent Censor in her hand, with the Locket of The Iron Solari around her neck, and maybe with Redemption attached to a belt around her waist or something. Another example could be Veigar, instead of having his normal hat, he'd actually be wearing Rabadon's Deathcap. Imagine a Brand walking by with Liandry's Torment on his face, or an Ashe that has Infinity Edge in her quiver.

Just an idea that I thought would be fun and the community would probably like, considering how much fanart I see of champions actually buying stuff in the store and trying to use or wear it.

As much as I love this, I think it would come off as repetitive for champions that share the same builds (mid Mages, Enchanters, AD Assassins). It would also be too taxing to change when the most played builds change, as well as when item icons change.

I mean, I would never build Janna like that, as I prefer to actually give a decent AD boost with the shield and actually have the shield protect the person. Locket is good for champs who have huge health pools(tank sups), Janna does not. Why would anybody build that on her? So basically as I just stated the problem with this would be build diversity, some champs may have a very KEY item they build but not any other item. At this point it'd be a Rabadon skin line for most mid mages, since that's the most guaranteed item they'll all build at some point for a full build. We would need more unique items to have a skin line like that. I can just imagine them botching Vel'Koz too, putting a Magic Pen item on him which you shouldn't build because 1/3 of his damage is True Damage and therefor receives no bonus from MPen. In concept it is funny, but the skins wouldn't sell very well. UNLESS they were like Ultimate skins and changed when you bought an item to have it on the champ, but that'd be too much work for Rito.

so like we can just build 5 infinity edge on draven and just have him throw swords at people
