GOTS Rek'Sai was a missed opportunity.

I understand the thought process behind Rek'Sai and Eternum, but I can't help but feel disappointed she didn't get the "Shuriman Trooper" esque treatment kha'zix got in his most recent skin. Think about it, Rek'Sai is the massive predatory animal that roams sections of the deserts of Shurima, destroying Caravans, settlements, anything and everything that enters her domain. she's a literal Guardian of the Sands. She keeps the dunes of Shurima purified and unsullied by man of any nation, race, or creed. Stands to reason that the Shurimans would make a deity or at least make some kind of mythology around her. Which would be where the inspiration for this skin would come from. Not only that, but the visuals would be awesome! A brilliant, glassy jade/emerald green dorsal fin, Sleek golden armor, emerald glass particles on her prey seeker. the same sandy particles kha'zix has on his isolation marker on her tremor sense. Emerald tunnel glow with Shuriman architecture on the entrances. the sandy-particles and glass SFX on her Q and E. I understand launch skins are usually large departures and "re imaginings" of champions. But I feel like this was a sorely missed opportunity for a fantastic skin.

Well, at least we have an Idea for a 975 later on.

I was expecting some kind of "u gots rekd" pun...

It's definitely something to look at for future skins! :D

Good idea for a skin - like you say, it's a possibility later on. Not missed yet, merely deferred.

I seriously hope they make this in the future

I think Rek'Sai getting the eternum skin is sort of like Kha'Zix getting the Mecha skin.

All void creatures get some sort of robot-themed skin because Viktor (Vik'Tor?) has some obsession with Malzahar's friends and turning them into machines. Which is why Rek'Sai got the more mech-themed eternum skin instead of Guardian of the Sands.

Good idea, though it poses a problem, Kha'Zix missle and Rek'Sai missle, the visuals, hard to tell apart?

Omg, maybe you should work at riot! I was thinking something along the lines of Deep Terror Rek'Sai. (Always got stuck when it comes to the "E" tunnel ability) maybe buoys? Yes! That's it buoys with fishnets and water splash animations for the E. Void charged Water Gun for Prey Seeker, some sort of Dolphin Sonar thing for Tremour Sense and the rest of abilities should be be simple ya'know type with a Water Kraken theme :)

I think they just wanted to revive the eternum skin line. It was a missed opportunity.

We can still hope *_*

Not a bad idea. Scarab Rek'Sai?

I prefer landshark Rek'Sai myself.

I really like this idea
