on Dragonmaster Swain and others

So it has been a long time since we have heard anything about the Dragonmaster Swain skin concept (which at first was apparently going to be developed). So far it is safe to assume the skin is cancelled but i think including it and others would be a great way to expand the skin lineup of dragonslayer-esque skins and fill in some problems with current lack of skins for certain champions.

The two champions that personally come to mind as far as making additional dragonmaster skins to go along with swain would be Kled and Mordekaiser. Including these along with Dragon Sorceress Zyra would flesh out the kind of dragonslayer antethesis skin theme.

Dragonmaster swain already has a lot of discussion and concepts around it so im not going to talk about him here, but Kled and Mordekaiser could have some very interesting skins, of good quality and value, that would be a welcome addition to their skin lineups.

Kled With Kled, obviously skaarl would be a dragon that is a bit more inclined to walk than fly, but there could be so much more to it than just that. His mounted Q would be very similar, as Skaarl being a dragon wouldnt add much possibilites to what this ability could look like other than just a grappling hook that kled has as his dragon riding equipment. His W could have a flaming effect to it that would trace the axe's wild flailing. His dismounted Q again doesn't have much that would change due to this theme so it would probably be some other Dragon equiment styled gizmo, not much to work with admittedly. His E would be where we start to see the potential in the skin concept shine. His E would have Skaarl take to the air momentarily in a small gust of fire to dash at his opponent, this would also look cool if the second one had a more distinct flying-style animation to explain why he goes so far and can then go over walls. The best part of this concept would be his ultimate. Kled and Skaarl become fully airborne while kled does his distinct yell and skaarl charges foreward in a torrent of fire with his wings flapping wildy. The persisting speed-zone would be charred on the ground and have the wind's direction signaled by embers drifting in whatever direction the ult goes.

Overall this would be very welcome since kled is getting less and less new and still fails to have a new skin, and kled has also been fairly relevant since his release, so it wouldnt be putting a skin on a dead champion.

Mordekaiser Mordekaiser is where the dragonmaster theme seems only too obvious. This skin would have to have a lot of distinction as far as how his armor is contoured, how the VFX look, and how the color scheme is on his armor, since it would be very easy to conflict it with the existing Infernal Mordekaiser and Dragon Knight Mordekaiser. His Q would be very similar to how it is now, however the effect radiating off of his mace while he has the buff would be fiery and radiant. much like the idea to the kled W it would leave a slight trail of fire in the air with each swing. The effects would obviously become more intense leading up to the 3rd Q, which would be glowing almost blue-white hot at the head of the mace. His W would be a very impressive visual effect as you and the teammate you bind to would have the same circular zones aroudn your champions, however when you connect them it the flying chunks of metal between the two would instead be a torrent of fire. Finally the heal at the end could replace the old outdated heal effect with a more updated green flare. Mordekaiser's E could be one of two things. It could either be a simple cone-shaped fireblast, or it could be a shape of a dragon made of fire (much like how Cassiopeia cassiopeia's ultimate has a giant shape of her face when it pops). The ult would be the easiest one. Mordekaiser's mark would have either his his helmet (of the dragonmaster skin of course) made of fire or a dragon skull made of fire floating above the target's head, and the VFX would imply more of an actual fiery burn on the target rather than some demonic drain. the dragon would probably just have all of its VFX recolored to match the QWE effects, but if the time could be put in, the dragon be an entirely different model, granted it is monocolored and using the same dragon animations as to keep the familiarity. Also, mordekaiser's passive could look less like a metal shield of grey-white color when he gets hit, and more of a fiery magical barrier.

This skin would be very welcome for mordekaiser, his skin lineup thus far honestly (while fairly sized) lacks any kind of quality or any big-buck skin for people who like crazy amounts of VFX changes and quality. Mordekaiser as a champion doesn't look that great in comparison to other champions, but giving him a quality skin may also help that. While mordekaiser is very niche at the moment, has an abismal playrate, and is hasn't been considered meta since season 5, he is far from a bad champion, and he has a very small but dedicated playerbase that have had to deal with all of his very low quality skins (especially lord mordekaiser, which has a very sad amount different form base mordekaiser for charging 975rp.)

Overall I hope that these skin concepts are considered and i get feedback form people who like/dislike certain parts, and absolutely tell me what they are, i would love to hear it.
